Individual Match Tickets

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.

Get an interest free credit card pal if you can. Just be disciplined. Don't get carried away and pay it off.

Alternatively, buy the big 5 then rely on the ticket forum for the other games. Blues sell on here for face value and normally plenty of tickets are going spare.
 
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).
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.

I really don't think the silver is a bad option for people like myself who enjoy the 'smaller' games and can attend all of them. I think the problem is the club didn't intend it as an upgrade for the regulars on 'pay as you go' contracts, but offered it as a cost-of-living downgrade for fans who already held Gold, hoping to free up their seats for big games, but Gold holders weren't having it so they turned over a token number to fans who didn't have STs.

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.

On the second question, the tourist attendance for the Real Madrid game was off the charts. In fairness it didn't dilute the athmosphere. The hotel prices in Manchester were 40% more than we normally pay. I usually travel with 5 of us together, we had 5 for Real Madrid last year, 5 v Bayern, 5 v Madrid in the pellegrini semi, (and 5 for loads of shit games as well!), but only got 1 for Real Madrid this year. The Seasoncard holders got, and were absolutely entitled to, Real Madrid tickets, the long standing members were shafted in favour of the new ones. I got a RM ticket, but I'm just annoyed for my friends who've put in hard yards with me, going to goalless draws under Pearce, and to then get treated the same as a brand new fan. It's just not fair....but life's not fair. At least we know where we stand if loyalty is ever needed again.

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?

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.

Big games. Lesser games will have more chance of spares popping up on here and Twitter

Thanks for the helpful info.

The Supporters Club members always got points for their tickets, assuming they were in the right name lol.

Only used the branch for 2 games and guess points weren't allocated for those games anyway so didn't really know how it worked.
