Queues

B was weird yesterday.
Arrived to find the queue really bigger than normal on the two outside lines.
For some reason the two queues in the middle were short.
In in 5 mins happy days.
 
Possibly not the right place to post this (mods please feel free to move it)…does anyone know if we are allowed to bring laptops into the ground? I’ll be going to the match straight from work and don’t think I’ll be able to drop my laptop off beforehand.

Tried to call supporter services and was on hold for over an hour.
 
Do you need to show a text/email for confirmation of a negative Covid test too?
Then, open the app with the ticket scan code?

I know for most people this will be straightforward and done quickly but, we also know there'll be a lot of people are going to struggle to do this problem free.

No doubt, there will be a good few that turn up without even downloading their mobile ticket, and plan to just show the steward their email when they get to the turnstile. I hope City put on plenty of staff to walk around offering technical assistance. The queues were bad enough before.

It says really clearly in the email from City. They won't be checking covid stuff tomorrow but going forwards they might ask for the NHS covid pass.

List of prohibited items below:
The following articles must not be brought to the Etihad Stadium: weapons, air horns, narcotics, fireworks/flares, bottles/cans/glasses, cameras, long umbrellas, food/drink, selfie sticks, tablet PCs and pushchairs/prams.

If tablet pCs are banned presumably applies to laptops.
There is always the baggage drops but no idea how secure they are..

Thanks pal. Could definitely make a case for laptops not being on the restricted list but it’s not worth the risk

Great. Maybe I didn't open that specific email, or, maybe it's only really clear once you've read it but that is good to know, cheers mate.

COVID PASS

Whilst we would encourage you to download the NHS App to access your COVID Pass or consider taking a Lateral Flow Test before you visit the Etihad Stadium, no decisions have been taken by the UK Government regarding the introduction of mandatory COVID-19 certificates at this time.

For the avoidance of doubt, there are currently no requirements to provide a proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to gain entry to this match.

We will continue to work closely with the Premier League over the coming weeks and will provide you with more information relating to COVID-19 certificates should they be introduced later this season. "

Was talking to my mate about the weather and Queuing earlier on, As you've said it's supposed to be fuckin bouncing it down all day. I can see it kicking off if it's all going pear shaped and folk are getting soaked.

Yeah I can see some fun and games going by the experience of just 10k trying to get in for the Everton match

You can pay £5 to leave in one of the baggage drops but whether it’s there when you come out is anyone’s guess!

I'm going to struggle to get the atmosphere going without my trusty air horn & fireworks display!

It'll be like collecting your ticket in Glasgow, in the pouring rain, for the CL game against Celtic but with twenty times the number of fans.
