North Stand expansion | Trial Event - Wed 20th May (p110)

[Didsbury Dave]

Probably down to a bit of frustration. We pretty much all thought the tickets would sell faster, and hoped they would sell out.

I cannot for the life of me see that many people being up for a pointless cheesathon in the evening at the business end of the season. Why aren't they doing the YOuth Cup final or a womans game ?

Not all.

You'll be just behind me then. I'm in 135 and am sat just in front of the new extension. It's great to hear that the club have dealt with this well as one of the main criticisms we had when City Matters started, and they displaced people for the Tunnel Club, was that they dealt with this very badly. They weren't proactive and basically left people to sink or swim. Eventually we persuaded them to be more proactive and supportive of people who would be displaced and I'm glad they seem to have listened.

I agree. Having said that, its a lot easier when you have an enormous stand of unallocated seats to relocate to.

Still on sale, easily over 1,000 left.

Surely it’ll be opened up to all Cityzen Matchday and Junior members tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

What about all the people that have built the it, the admin staff, etc. Invite them all. Many will live in and around the Manchester area. I’m sure they’d like to have a look around it and sit in the tier.

It should be, but I guess if you’re a citizen member without a chance of getting a season ticket, what’s the appeal?

Test event on the 17th for that, I expect some photos to come out after then

Cheers LevyBee76.

You’ve been a good and reliable source of inside info throughout the thread, and on the construction thread, along with bluesmith, etc.

PS. I’m from Leve and lived on Langdale Avenue from 1967 when I was born until I moved to Burnage in 1984.

Good to see the right spelling of Leve, JRB.

It would seem like perfect opportunity to celebrate winning the FA Cup and League Cup double, if it happens. Personally unless we win the Premier League ( now unlikely due to VAR intervention) I would vote against a parade through Manchester

 

[richards30]

Can I ask Welty so many aren’t bothering to help the club out?

 

[WARBABY]

What are the dynamic 1984 group doing to help the club out on this?

Warbaby attends the 1894 group meeting to help the club out.

 

[Placename]

The conditions for matchday members have been relaxed now.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Consider this. city win the FA Cup on Saturday. Perfect chance to witness a celebration in the North Stand extension.

 

[LevyBee76]

Emails gone out to matchday members so expect this to be sold out soon enough

 

[Marvin.]

It would help if they put a prominent link on mancity.com. It's not immediately obvious how you can buy tickets.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Only allowing me to buy one ticket but I need another one for my lad who isn't a member

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Do the tickets come through on email or do they update your mobile pass?

 

[blueparrot]

Not all.

I did but didn’t expect them to be so restrictive with who it was available to, when they’ve done similar things they’ve opened to Matchday member almost straight away.

 

[Corky]

See they are begging people to attend but still charging.

A lot who paid £5 or £3 won't bother, as there is still no incentive to turn up. 3,500 in a queue to have a photo with the Milk Cup, not really a big USP.
