Get to the Etihad for the 2nd leg!

If I was strong minded, I wouldn't go. I'd watch it on TV and moan about Michael Owen ( the abuse of whom was the only bright spot of being kept in for so long in Paris). But, I'm not strong minded, so I'll take the shafting on the ticket price, and turn up to show my disapproval.

The game is going to sell out.

That's why there is scapegoating of Supporters Clubs by people who wanted there to be empty seats lol!

We'll see what the crowd is like on Tuesday but let's be clear that the club have been saved from the consequences of what most believe to be a poor decision by the result in the first leg. Had we lost 3-0 or 4-1, the seat planner would have been a sea of green.
 
It will sell out I am sure - our record ever European home attendance.

I suspect whoever is ultimately responsible for ticket pricing was mightily relieved with that result on Wednesday night. As you say, it would've been a very different story if we'd been comfortably beaten.

There were about 40/45000 gone before the first leg, we wouldn't have sold many more if we had lost 3-0, but I'm not sure we would have sold many more before the result if tickets had been £10 cheaper. Can't remember how much the league cup semi final tickets were about £30 I think but only about half were sold before the first leg result was known.

That is an over exaggeration. Nowhere near that many were sold. I agree with you on price though. We wouldn't have done because ironically it's the less expensive tickets in SS3 that are the last to sell.

We virtually all agree that the pricing was wrong. I am glad that you and as many of us as possible are going on Tuesday!

JRBs last post on this thread showed that we are well on track for a sell out. We are already guaranteed a much bigger turn out than Saturday (ignoring the official figure from the West Brom game).

A lot of cup schemers won't be able to attend the PSG game ignoring he official figure too.

Bilbao game that season was the highest European attendance at Maine Rd, over 49k. Schalke game was around 46/47k.

Juventus this season was our highest ever European attendance, surprisingly. Presumably we'll beat that on Tuesday.

In fact, eight of our ten biggest European attendances have come in the last eight years.
