Individual Match Tickets

[Beaker]

Yes, same as they used to be, plus it would mean not buying tickets until we know the KO day and time.

Exactly, I genuinely don’t understand why it’s not done that way.

The Mancunian working classes aren't their target market and it almost seems a snide way of ensuring there's low numbers of them.

The 9320 seats are blue on the planner, and they aren't counted as hospitality like Joe's are.

ST in 209 is same as mine in 201, always thought 9320 came at a premium. Doesn't look like it is this year

I would go further, I wouldn’t put tickets for any league fixture on sale until six weeks before it is due to be played, that way we can help supporters spread the cost and it keeps the incentive there for more people to pay the membership as the season progresses. Agree 100% on loyalty points for Cat A fixtures.

I'd think that would be less empty seats too.
If someone buys a ticket tomorrow for a game in April, there are thousands of things that could happen in that time that could mean they can't attend.
The less time in between buying the ticket and the game itself would reduce the likelihood of one of those things happening.

he verbally abused bar staff after they refused to serve him chanting "you're fucking shit", as he attempted to make his way back to seat a steward followed him and told him he wanted a word, he was taken back onto concourse and in his words had 10 stewards surrounding him and he said i knew they were gonna throw me out but i wasn't going quietly so was involved in a altercation with a steward and ending up kicking the steward, needless to say he was arrested and never came into work the following day, within 24 hours he got a strong email from City saying he was not allowed anywhere near stadium whilst investigation is ongoing, the head steward (not the one he kicked) wants charges pressing he is due in court middle of August

Yeah, maybe they were right not serving him.

The club ideally will always want a two stage sales process. That way they have a second opportunity to pull inventory for use in a hospitality package. They take a best guess for how many seats they need during the initial drop and if all hospitality sells, and there’s more demand, they’ll skim from the second drop.

Anyone leaving an empty seat isn’t trying hard enough to get their money back, unless it’s a last minute emergency.

Good luck everyone today trying to get the tickets they want.

This is the kind of thing the new regulator should be all over, no ticket sales till an ‘official’ KO time & date is given, and a cap on how many home games can be moved from Saturday 3pm. Supporters of all clubs can be a bit meh about these issues, but like the ESL (when they push too far) do have the power to bite back, unfortunately clubs have learnt the drip drip approach is best & it seems to be working for them

Will be a free for all
