The tickets are cheap and its not as though we are bored of reaching the latter stages of cup competitions. What more do City fans want?
Not everyone is in your or my position Carlos. We can be there but many can't, for many reasons. Still plenty of time left & I expect a close-to-a-sell-out. Keep the faith.

I find it amazing that the concept of not releasing every ticket on the website at once is blowing your mind.
North stand did'nt go up straight away and people where saying their is only xxx ammount of tickets left, then as if by a miracle another whole new shiny stand was bulit (by your explanation) called the North stand.
I dont think their is any major rush and the website is historicaly wrong, anyone remember the threads every week where some one counted all the seats ???
the reason that stopped was because it changed on a daily basis.
and Didsbury Dave......... An apology for what ??

I bet they would all be able to make it to Wembley if we get there.No doubt they will all come out from the woodwork, claiming its not fair that they cant get a ticket.

If that happens I will eat a sandwich.
In the event they release level 3 at a cheaper price expect howls of protest, and quite rightly in my opinion, because that would be screwing the most loyal supporters at the expense of dragging in a few extra "day trippers". That would be taking the piss in my opinion.Balti said:jrb said:here's what will happen. City will wait until tier 1 and 2 sell out and then open both 3rd tiers with really cheap seats.

I've been thinking this. They don't want to reduce all seats to Hamburg level cos the hardcore supporters will pay more so and the club would lose out so they rejig it so that the 3rd tiers become the cheap seats for the floaters/ part-timers/ tourists and plastics. Wouldn't surprise me to see them do this. Cue howls of protest from L3 ST holders and those who would have waited and paid less! lol
No they wont, if they sell all level1 & 2, then they will start selling East Level 3. Only when and if that is sold out will they start selling Colin Bell level 3. Why because they want it to look good on TV and the cameras are positioned in CBL3 and face the East side.SWP's back said:jrb said:here's what will happen.

I aint being elitist and if you want to start with the bragging rights on games attended then i can go way back to the early seventies and the number of home games missed since then you can count on one handsniff said:Marvin said:Look I know the on-line plan doesn't always cover the whole seating area, but this time every block in every stand bar West Level 2 has been on there so we know what's what.

Look ive explained the reasons as to why i understand i am correct, if you have further information from some one who works their also, then please share. Im not against the idea im wrong, just the fact that you cant take onboard an idea that isnt your own.
Im not arguing with anyone, just stating the facts, the Ticketline is an outside agency. so make of that what you will, but id go with the guy who sits at the desk and see's the whole picture.
but feel free to continue...... i was just trying to save some people the time and effort, since its not an accurate tool of measurement.
carlos : please shut up with you elitist bullshit...... yeah their are lots of people who will jump on the band waggon.
I havent got my ticket yet, but id be safe to bet you cant have been to more home games than me in the last 6 years. so whats your point, people have to wait or miss games for many valid reason's.

Agree with everything you say there Blue.bainy said:Not bothered where i sit - not a bad seat in the house, just a diferent view and angle on the game. Ive relocated numerous times from south upper this season and quite enjoy the diferent experience.
If city open the 3rd tier - so what, the more the merrier. I think when we only have 25000 in the ground, confinding everyone to level 1 & 2 is ok in my book and it improves the atmosphere.
Oh and i think the ticket office is OK (i know a controversal view!!!).
