I have to re-locate every cup game never had an issue nor an e-mail confirmation, but always works and as you should get a text on the day. I just make a note of re-location seats and take a photo.

I have given up asking to make sure I get an e-mail as they always say "right seats changed you will get an e-mail confirmation shortly" but never do, however i do get the original e-mail with my re-located seats.
 
The Photo ID is just used to prevent adult fans from buying a junior ticket - so I was told. I queried it once and was told not to worry about it.

I checked online and there were 500 single seats available this morning. There are now 270. So it looks like they will just about go by the end of the day, however, it's possible there could be another small batch of single seats to be released from Levels 2 and 3. If there are, that number should be small (L2 is small, and Vale have 1/3 of L3), and should go tomorrow morning...assuming there are matchday sales.

I think the crowd will be 53k to 55k depending on hospitality sales. It could actually be higher than our league crowds as there should be no segregation losses, however, I don't think the City hospitality areas will sell well. I've no idea about that really never having sat in such a seat, and never having wanted to.
 
i just had a txt from city telling me about my seats relocation from 318 to 118

Where can you check your ticket details for tomorrows game ?

I know I've been moved but how do I see where too ?

That website really is shite, its not showing on my ticket history or anywhere else I can see.

(I'm not even going but someone is using my ticket.)

hospitality not completely sold out as they called me today with a deal. £119 for meal etc. Citizens Suite I think that was. Not bad but too short notice for me.
 
Don’t know what the club are playing at but loads suddenly available including my brothers next to me who hasn’t been in the cup scheme for years... pretty much all single seats but availability now on levels 1&2 all over...very strange
 
Just single seats remaining online this morning -

Level 1 ~200,
Level 2 Family Stand ~130.

There may be more single seats in other parts of the ground that haven't made it online yet. So at least 330 single seats left plus those in hospitality.

Not clear whether these will sell before KO. It's going to be close. Pretty confident there'll be over 53k.

It will be a bigger gate than the Merseyside Derby but Arsenal v Leeds might beat it on Monday night.

I think had we had the capacity we could have sold a lot more for this game because single seats are much more difficult to sell than seats together. People tend to go to games in families or in groups.

It will be interesting how many Vale are in the CIty end. We will probably never know. I would think around 100.

I am not sure if I am bothering going now. Ticket is active but am resting up as much as possible today before back to work Monday. I have 226 days ahead of me if sat in traffic on the Mancunian way and don’t know if I can face another one later today. Crazy kick off time. Access to the ground can make it a real chore at times. Will see how I feel later.

I think they try and sell the stadium out from the bottom up to improve the atmosphere. So the Level 1 single seats are put online first, then the Level 2 single seats, then Level 3 (if there are any). Obviously single seats are a lot more difficult to sell than seats together so initially when the blocks are sold they were taking them offline when they went down to singles. That makes it difficult to track sales online.

It will probably still sell out. I remember I looked online on New Years Eve for the Everton game and there were literally 100s of seats online from seasoncard holders trying to sell their seats but by the time I walked past the Ticket Office the Sold out signs were up. I am never sure when it comes to the season ticket resales as to whether the club actually sells them all or whether they draw the line on the morning of matchday and just say its sold out.

Don’t blame you mate, sort of getting used to the 5.30 ko’s now but would much prefer they were all 3pm as they used to be.

I suppose that makes sense, although my brothers is level 2 and literally was available at 9 this morning just 8 hours before ko. He’s happy tho as was wanting to go and has got it now. Like you say will prob sell out and should be a good atmosphere with the large away support. Looking forward to it.

Vale will be up for it but I am not sure CIty fans will respond. I hope so.

Whether it's 53,500 or 54,000 doesn't really make much difference, it's still a great crowd for a game against a League two side. I am looking forward to it too.

The case for expansion gets bigger I think with the pricing of these cup games. A lot of people who don’t get the opportunity to go as they can’t commit to a season ticket or can’t afford paying upwards of £60 for a single ticket.

If they built the North Stand and priced it correctly they could get a lot of blues back who have been priced out and also introduce some who have never had the opportunity to go before as it’s stupidly priced to attend. Unfortunately we seem to be obsessed with corporate than us peasants in the cheap seats.
