Etihad Stadium increase??

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

We need a ticketing exchange..... This will make it easier for no-showers to sell their ticket.

It's bad enough trusting the club to get it right with your own ticket - nevermind giving it back to the club to give to someone else to use for a game.....

Excluding season ticket holders who have not turned up, i believe we have sold-out the home allocation of tickets at most league games??!!

"most"? we have only had 3 and havent sold out once!

I suppose all of these are just bollocks then?

ok so how come my mate went to the ticket office before kick off for the everton and swansea game and got a ticket from the ticket office to actually sit in the ground and watch the game live
and also
how come every game i have been to this season in the league(every game except swansea) there has been empty seats dotted around the stadium?
yes i know they put this on the website that they have sold out but fuck knows why when you can buy a ticket an hour before kick off?

Probably returns after the tickets were taken off public sale.

Because a lot of season card holders aren't showing up. Notice how many of them are in the season card areas.

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

no company in their right minds would claim a sell out, if they hadn't what the hell would be the point????? As for the CL remember there is a reduction in seats for that(I believe it goes down to 45k).

Is he being serious??

Absolute Gem! LOL
Thanx

Come back to this thread in 2 years time when we have sold every game out. We need to create demand and that is exactly what we are doing at the moment. We need fans sat there waiting for ticket details to come out so they don't miss out. I believe this isn't too far away but be patient!

i dont know mate , i really dont but why is there big groups of seats empty?
we all love city and would love it to be filled week in week out but for some reason it isnt and im not having that blocks of 15-20 people are not turning up/returning there tickets up in the 3rd tier.

 

[bringer678]

Don't be daft. The only reason why the capacity would increase in the near future is if safe standing gets brought in soon.

 

[waspish]

Are there any plans to expand our stadium?
Im sure a 60,000 capacity (3 tiers all the way around) would fill well for every league game!

It might mean we could confine away fans to a 3rd tier corner rather than 2 tiers in the south stand!
I really wish the club would find a way to move the away fans to the third tier which would....
(1)Allow for a better atmosphere and (2) Allow City to charge a higher price for away fans!

Based on what? Unless i'm mistaken we've had empty seats at most games this season including our CL debut against Napoli.

Bases on all our premier games being sold out pretty quickly

 

[Thomas Woodworth]

apparently really reading into things not only is 3 tiers a possibility but the club can do 4 tiers all the way round, In all honesty I think we are 2-3 years off making the stadium 60,000 with the 3 tiers and if what I have heard to be true even longer for the 4 tiers to make it 80,000.

The reason for me saying this is that yes we have filled out for all our Prem games but I stood there for us against Birmingham with only half the ground full ^^ so until we are filling every game and I mean every game Carling cup included then I cannot see them extending in all honesty.
