League cup draw - United (a)

[Edin blue]

Is the cup ticket allocation entitlement 10% (7500) or 20% (15000) of the stadium allocation? Would love a ticket for this if it goes to low enough points. I'd pay £45 no probs.

They are definitely £45 but at least the money will be going in our coffers and not theirs.

Is that 100% as if so they can do one, I aint paying that.

It's 10% for league cup but presuming we get all the top tier and usual away section I think it works out around 9k

Thanks for that.

Put it this way, City get 45% of the total gate receipts which will be a much bigger amount than 9k @£45 each.

The gate receipts hardly matter in the bigger scheme of things. It's an opportunity to back the £30 max we have in the prem for away support and instead we are back to rip off prices. Ill prob still pay it so suppose I'm part of the problem...just pisses me off. Saying that nothing official yet so I live in hope.

Is that true? If it is - then depending on average price of tickets etc - City could get £1.5m-£2m (have based that on 75k x £45) obviously there will be lower price tickets, but there will also be corporate as well.

Indeed... if they were so inclined, would City be able to subsidise the tickets to put the price in line with what the home rags will be paying. They'd still make a healthy profit...

The rags are paying £31 to £53 for their tickets, the £31 ones are in their nursery rhyme section, aka Stretford End lower tier.

the £53 will be in the south stand, so if they give us part of that as they do in the league, some city fans will be paying £53.

£45 is a joke. In my opinion if we are having to pay that amount it should include transport for all to and from the Etihad.
Open City square in the afternoon and send a convoy of nearly 200 buses to and from the Swamp and we have a celebration back in City square after we smash them again.
This is their cup final so we should put out a team that can embarrass them again. I would love another 1 v 6 especially when its around the anniversary of that one.

Some people on here saying this game isn't a priority etc is laughable.

There's no doubt they'll field a strong team. Mourinho's pride can't take two beatings off Pep so early in the season.
