Queues

[Lavinda Past]

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.

Did you have to remind me of that shambles...?
Ruined my evening that has. Glad I'm not going tomorrow now.

 

[Eccles Blue]

What's the queue like so far? Many doing an overnighter? ;)

Only me here at the mo! But when the pubs shut I’m expecting an influx especially when they smell the steaks and the fish BBQing. Surf and Turf. ;-)

 

[Eccles Blue]

Just thinking…it’ll be a laugh tomorrow if everyone battles to get in for hours then it gets rained off at the last minute.

The way things have been going this week and it being us that could happen. You know the saying: Typical City! ;-) :-)

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..

How will I be able to watch the match if I can’t bring in my glasses?

Oh help same here. It’s bad enough that they dream up with the mask on. Now I can’t wear them at all!! ;-)

A good job I've had the cataracts in both eyes done since my last visit. I'm hoping to see the action in the South Stand goal area clearly for the first time in years!!

Already queues and they’ve not let anybody in yet

Farce, get here for one as everything is half price. In the small print none of us noticed we wouldn’t be let in

Full price in City Square and no John Smiths

So much for the half price beer and food 1-2pm!
Lots of security muttering into walkie talkies, has the system failed already?

That’s a salt in the wound job after announcing the offer - I’d hope they run it for a full hour from whenever the gates open …

You’d think but I’m not holding my breath

Good luck mate!

 

[ManCitizens.]

Good luck mate!

You too. Don’t normally drink in the ground but thought I’d give it a go, also expecting delays nearer to kick off. I’ll stick to the usual routine in future

 

[didsburyblu]

Turnstiles still not even open!!

 

[maurizio]

Closed turnstiles! Announcement: all turnstiles are now green. P1 open. Others now opening. Shuffling of queue forward...

 

[Ric]

Ridiculous in the circumstances that the turnstiles are only just opening.

 

[Vic]

Use barcode rather than NFC

QR on print at home ticket works off the download on the phone but actual ticket may be quicker

 

[Eccles Blue]

NINETEEN MINUTES PAST ONE THEY LET US IN!! That is just adding insult to injury especially when you can see the hospitality people at their windows looking down on the plebs!! The excuse? Not enough staff inside!
A strongly worded letter will be on its way tomorrow!! :-(
