Creates a bit of a conundrum for someone like me who has been to more than 5 games so has the ability to purchase any game , however not the finances to do it all at once. Do I grab tickets for the big 5 while I have the window of advantage and hope tickets for lesser games remain available, or grab as many early games as I can, Newcastle, Fulham etc and hope this second wave gives me a shot at United , West Ham etc.
Where me and the kids usually sit I'd pay £450 for an adult silver. Which I'd happily take, because even if I had to buy the top five games at say £70 each, it's a snip on what I'd fork out for individual tickets. But obvs everyone has different needs. Some are going to want the ST to lock in the big games rather than the price being the motivation.Just a couple of questions if I may? Would the combine cost if a Silver Card and buying the individual tickets for the big 5 exceed the cost of a regular season card?
Do we know how many people bought a Matchday Menbershio for the Real Madrid game. I mention this because there were fewer people on my train back over the Pennines than for a Champs League group game, when tickets are easier to come by. My sense is that season card holders who missed the earlier rounds got a ticket for the semi final and the number of “tourists” was broadly the same.
I love Pep but our success is based on much more than him and we will replace Guardiola with another top coach (albeit there is only one Pep).
Don't know the answer to the first part, but I'd assume the big 5 games will be about £70 each minimum, so very likely to be close or in excess of the full season ticket price on top of Silver.Just a couple of questions if I may?

Tough one for me too, as there's a risk there's real buying pressure on the cheaper Cat C games from Mancs who don't normally go - but will start going post-Treble. Tourists aren't going to get excited about seeing us play Luton, but the boys and girls at my kids' schools who haven't been to a match yet, but went to the parade will.Creates a bit of a conundrum for someone like me who has been to more than 5 games so has the ability to purchase any game , however not the finances to do it all at once.

Big games. Lesser games will have more chance of spares popping up on here and TwitterCreates a bit of a conundrum for someone like me who has been to more than 5 games so has the ability to purchase any game , however not the finances to do it all at once.

Thanks for the helpful info.Yes, it would. I.e buying the games on top of Silver. The Silver option is slightly cheaper per game for the 14 games it includes over Gold but nowhere near makes up the shortfall. You're buying the other fixtures at almost standard matchday prices. SSL3 would probably be paying substantially more for those 5 games than the other 14 altogether. Hence why they aren't letting these Silver's upgrade to Gold.
Tim, now the Supporter's Club are getting individuals to buy their own tickets does that mean they'd now get points for these fixtures?
Thanks for the helpful info.
The Supporters Club members always got points for their tickets, assuming they were in the right name lol.
There’s no points for Wembley games or away matches any more. There should be for homes games as far as I knowOnly used the branch for 2 games and guess points weren't allocated for those games anyway so didn't really know how it worked.
Been in the same boat in recent years, would go with the big games first, fixtures messed about so much these days that seats often come available after the game as initially sold out.Creates a bit of a conundrum for someone like me who has been to more than 5 games so has the ability to purchase any game , however not the finances to do it all at once.

Last league game I guess so those becoming members after last league season ended would only have joined after the 21st.What’s the significance of the 21st May? That was the day we played Chelsea I think, after the league was already wrapped up.

Edit no it wasn’t forgot Brighton and Brenrford.

Agree.That would be my advice too. I'm not a fan of the way they do the ticketing now. Puts those with more expendable income in a better position and they could effectively buy their very own expensive season ticket.
Bag as many big games as you can afford as soon as they go on sale. The others always appear on re-sale sites. The club set a precedent last season and didn't release tickets for the big games that were put back on the exchange. Presumably badging them up as hospitality packages and milking the seat for every penny they can. Once tickets for the likes of the rags have 'sold out' I don't expect any to reappear at a later stage.
Think that Spurs game was a one-off. I'd sold my ticket on the exchange but when re-arranged I was available and re-claimed it at cost neutral.Agree.
Last season the Spurs home game was sold out straight away but of course got cancelled when the Queen passed away. The game was eventually played in the New Year, January I think, loads of tickets came up at £60-£80 in the upper tiers, obviously SC holders who couldn’t make the new date, but the price must have put fans off as there were hundreds that didn’t get sold. I also know some seats are held back for freebies and out of nowhere a bunch of thirty seats together in one of the upper tiers will suddenly come available.
the club don’t give two shits about the fans, especially so called legacy fans and I guess that’s the way it will stay.
