Every single home game sold out last season apart from Spurs which was rearranged last minute for a Thursday night with prices the same as they were for the original fixture. A lot of these tickets on sale were also returns.
There will always be tickets on sale via the ticket exchange no matter how big the ground is but getting tickets in the original sale period is now extremely difficult especially if you want to get several seats together. We’ve reached the point where even league cup games are selling out alongside sellouts for every CL game and the FA Cup games as well.
City will easily sell out the north stand based on current demand and you’ve even said yourself this weekend that the stand should have been ready now to cope with demand…
There were plenty of tickets left on 3rd party tickets sites. Not all the seats sold out for the CL group stage games.
I’m sure the expanded North stand L2 will sell out. It’s the other parts of the ground and seats that need to be sold when fans relocate to the North stand.
We’re all guessing how the additional 6000 seats will be sold. I’m sure City will come up with something unique and different. ;-) Some people have suggested it may be match day ticket sales only. I can’t see that myself, especially with the current seaon ticket waiting list, which will has got bigger since City won the CL and did the treble.
