Individual Match Tickets

[tedmak]

Don’t think anyone replied? I transferred my ticket for Newcastle last week. No problems.

Yeah thanks - I did the same. Must say - the transfer and resale PROCESS works quite easily.
( not a comment at all about HOW tickets are sold)

will there be a point nearer to individual match kickoffs where ST holders will be able to buy additional tickets?
I understand why they are reserved at the moment for the members, but surely near KO late resales should be able to be purchased?

Nopes, not gonna happen. For any ticket, each person buying now would need the Cityzens membership of their own. So if you are a Season Ticket holder, and want 3 more for the family, you can probably pick them on the website off those who have put theirs on ticket exchange but for most games (and this was the case last season as well), you'd need memberships taken out against family/friends to assign those tickets to.

Best thing to do is just set up a 2nd account

I hear what you are saying, but doesn't that run the risk that someone who lists a ticket a day or two before the match has it go unsold?

I suspect the club want the message to be understood that without a membership you have zero chance of ever picking up a ticket for any City home game, bought through the club.

If that means a few people don’t shift their ticket on the exchange for a less popular game, so be it.

I may be wrong but I don’t think any home game went past one member, one ticket last season.

Club doesn't care if it goes unsold, it's already SOLD as far as they are concerned, so it's member's call to list it so close to the game or not. But seeing how tickets have gone, most games were sold out except maybe one or two all of last season.

Exactly this ... no games went to general sale. So you needed a membership to be able to buy one.

I am concerned this is the way it is going/already gone.
There should be a way that the casual fan who just want to get a last minute ticket, if available, should have the means.
By the looks of it, City are going by the way of the rest of the Big 6 in this regard. Arsenal have done this for years and you see the effect when they have been out of the running and seats can’t be resold so the seat goes empty. It is not satisfactory

The reality is that probably for the first time in the club’s entire history, even run of the mill games have far more people wanting to attend than the ground’s capacity.

Whereas it would be nice in a perfect world, if a casual fan could just rock up last minute to see a game. I think that would be unfair on someone who’s paid for a membership and hasn’t managed to get a ticket.

Are you sure it is only big 6 clubs that do that though?
