It's a bit mental to be offering the £5 off now considering you can't buy tickets without being a member. It's a bit of a conyes. so £5 off from those tbf, just listed the list prices here
I am the sameJust around 10k gone from in front of me since 10 a.m. 32k left so, at the present rate, I may reach the promised land at around 2 p.m. What odds the "sold out" signs will be up at that stage?

Agreed, not the best way of doing it, but basing it off of recent attendance won't stop the touts as they've been doing it for years, so apparently attend 19 games a season even though most will never have actually been to one.Problem with that is we've got loads of fans who've been going since the fifties, sixties and seventies. If we went off earliest purchase date no one under 65 would ever get in and that would cause another set of issues.
Proper attendance criteria would thin out the herd and day trippers and tourists big time, but that's actually the people the club want in the ground because we've got PSR/FFP breathing down our necks and no-one buys a club like ours without wanting to turn it into a marketing and business giant as well as a footballing one.
To my mind encouraging more regulars makes more sense than chasing tourists for the long term, but probably doesn't look as good on a spreadsheet.
On Ticketmaster, when you pick seats for a concert on the seating plan, your not allowed to leave 1 seat spare.Absolute joke. Just got on (started at 9k in queue). No games I'm available for have 3 seats together. Loads of singles dotted all over and the odd 2. What a waste of time, and three matchday memberships.
Feeling a bit gutted at the moment - I don't suppose I will be missed. I come up from Devon for only 10 games a year, so travel,hotel, expenses..... time off work etc - my choice and all that but have a young family and I can't really justify it now. To watch Brentford stick 10 behind the ball for 89 minutes and spend what I do......sigh.Me as well mate - genuinely
Agreed, the amount of singles is absolutely ludicrous. The vast, vast majority of people will be going with friends & family, so easy to implement that system and stop the current situation of there being almost 1000 tickets left but only singles (v Everton, for example)On Ticketmaster, when you pick seats for a concert on the seating plan, your not allowed to leave 1 seat spare.
If there are 3 seats and you select 2, it doesnt let you proceed any further
Maybe City could do this to stop is having 300 single empty seats dotted around the ground?
I'm just trying the phone option now. Apparently, according to the automated voice, there is no online queue. Really? 27k in front of me suggests otherwise.Had no look yesterday but managed to get on today I tried queuing on both the computer and my phone computer ended up with about 30k in front but phone only had 2k, got most of the games that I wanted to but have had to move from 110 to 121 due to ticket availability for 2 together
