I think if they price s/t’s too cheap, they’ll get a repeat of what happens in the NS atm, that is people pick and chose their games leaving seats empty at other times.

Yet maximising at what cost to the fans and the atmosphere in the ground, is all good having shiny new things but without fans you have nothing
Of course, businesses want a return on their money but they have to look at the long game and they will get their returns just not at the expense of the fans as soon as you price them out of the game you have a shiny new stand with no one in it.
Khaldoon said he wants a blue wall so why are execs at the club doing the complete opposite, Pep wants atmosphere so why are execs at the club doing the complete opposite
They are hardly doing the complete opposite.

Not if they offer the seats to existing loyal fans. Give first refusal to season ticket holders in the existing singing areas and then work it on loyalty points to other season ticket holders.
The tourists can then buy tickets at full price on the spaces they have left.

That's his job, what do you expect ffs
They should prioritise groups of people, who go to games now and know each other, but are currently spread all over the ground. Getting people together to sit in groups would help massively. Limit the restrictions in place to help to promote this. Try and encourage groups of 4,6 or 8 initially. Probably wont happen like…..

Wednesday did feel particularly egregious in this regard, particularly with the number of “influencers” in the home end. This was particularly annoying for me given the good step we achieved with the matchday criteria. So it pretty much points to the third party resale websites or the hospitality packages which aren’t subject to rigorous criteria.
Given this isn’t the first time something like this has happened, it won’t surprise you to know that I’ve asked about this before. That said, very happy to do so again, as me and a few others were preparing to do. At this point, the club are focused on the new Ticketing Compliance role to undertake a strategic review of the issue. I don’t want to prejudge a role, but the proof will be in the pudding.
As an aside, until very recently, the club followed Live Football Tickets on Twitter. It’s “one of the biggest sites in operation,” the club’s words not mine. They believed this must have been in error but couldn’t determine when this happened. Optically, that really doesn’t help anyone.
When I was writing my first post, I did think about specific points - so this will be really helpful.

It’s smoke and mirrors by City. Make out the points system was sorted for supporters for Madrid whilst flogging thousands to anybody via 3rd party sites.
In which parallel universe does anybody at City think inviting influencers to visit and slag off the club during their vlogs or TikTok’s - and support the opposition etc is good for City. Mind boggling.
Feel sorry for City Matters reps having to listen to bullshit and lies.
As for the new ticket compliance position - his role won’t involve anything that will help ‘legacy’ fans. Saw fans getting pulled for using concession tickets on Wednesday - that’s the kind of stuff that will be getting ramped up more with our new compliance boss.
