Re: Season Card Reservation,New ST UPDATED TODAY 08/04.

Anybody know if you reserve your seat if it is still available to 'reserve' for other fans? I'm pretty sure on the picture posted a couple of pages ago that the seats I reserved for me and 2 others are still available to be reserved?
 
Re: Season Card Reservation,New ST UPDATED TODAY 08/04.

Definitely more available seats showing on the planner this evening that at any point yesterday or this morning. Just Managed to get 3 together in family stand level 2 block 232... £675 for me and the lad or stay in CBL2 block 222 and pay the best part of £2k.... Not a difficult decision.
 
Re: Season Card Reservation,New ST UPDATED TODAY 08/04.

Was thinking today while at the game. How are the south stand 3rd tier going to get up there? Is there stairs within the stand or will it be by the spirals on the east and west stands

Today at the ground I asked people around me their plans (this is in level 1 too). 3 behind me said they're moving. One nearby said he's moving. I'm moving. The two next to me didn't bother turning up, but are considering moving they told me recently. The two in front of me can't be arsed turning up for half of our games so couldn't ask them. But get the feeling a lot of people are moving this summer for various reasons (price / change / atmosphere).

Everyone that sits by me in the soon to be £900 seats in E2 are all renewing. All pleased with the 10 month DD scheme and all think the seats are the best in the house thus worth the money. Had they not been able to afford it we could have all relocated

So basically, despite all the whingeing and sob stories about being priced out, not a single person has been priced out at all? Unless people expect to pay less than 300 quid a year to watch premier league football, with their own team that contains the likes of Sergio Aguero and David Silva!

Yep, haters just simply will always no matter what gonna hate.

Can someone post a link to that page. Can't find it on the OS. Thanks.
For some reason when I sign in I get so far where a 3D image of my seat is shown, I then press relocate, and it says to pick seat etc... For map below, however I do not get a map to pick from.

Worked on laptop for me but not iPad.

There can't be many, if any other PL clubs where you can get an adult ST for £299. Particularly to watch one of the top teams. Fantastic value.

I've decided to move into this block from 102. What's it like in there? It's a bit further back than my current seat so hopefully I'll stay dry now.
 
Re: Season Card Reservation,New ST UPDATED TODAY 08/04.

The segregation netting in block 112 has been moved further across by 4 seats, meaning people in those 4 rows(top to bottom) have to relocate. Managed to find my partner and stepdaughter two seats together in 112. According to my partner most of the other people around her that have also been affected are moving to the new 3rd tier of the South stand.

Two of my mates who currently sit in the 3rd tier of the East stand have moved to the 3rd tier of the South stand. They saved in the region of £200 each. They seem very happy.

Plenty of "wet" people near me relocated.

Scurry along after them then

Me, my nephew and 3 mates have relocated from where we are. My mum and dad have relocated from where they are (great seats where they'd been since the stadium first opened).

No one's arsed. Me and my mates (and the other 5 that are meeting up with us in the 3rd tier) are buzzing in fact. Mum and dad were in some of the best seats in the house which are trebling in price for them I think (they're old bids), but I think they've saved some money and still got decent seats so don't seem fussed. They knew the price hikes were coming, as did everyone else

We've relocated to the back to tier 3 from 222. Glad that you and your mates are buzzing, but if the club told you that you'd have to pay double next year or find some single seats someplace else, you might not be, So all folks experience is different.

The talk around us was that there's now 3000+ seats that will cost £1250 or £1700 each. I'm not sure there will be the demand for them, and I hope the club haven't cocked this up by pricing loads of seats out of the market. The extra bars dont look like they have anything that the concourse bars hadn't previously offered, and it seems like the seats will be taken by corporates to offer to their clients (INCLUDING AWAY FANS) or tourists on package (buy hotel + ticket for £200) - not an area I'd like to sit in.

I am fussed about relocating - it's a shame not being with friends I've made, and despite the Fat el Hombre's view, the banter amongst folk at a match is all part of it, but the club seems to have outgrown us and they've decided to take back the seats we happen to sit in. Sure we had notice of improvements, and a price rise, but no-one seriously expected a 2x or even 3x rise.... If the seats were £900-1000, I don't think anyone would have batted an eyelid. But £1700 is a clear "get lost" call to those who are sitting there.

I'm moving from the East Stand Lower and I was on row BB right at the back.

I'd say anything from about P/Q/R backwards would be fine, but get to as close to the back as you can.

I think you're missing the point a little bit, Alex.

Firstly, i don't buy into all this I can't sit with my friends nonsense so I agree with you on that, if you want to sit together then stay or relocate together, as I have done. No problem with that.

It comes down to a matter of principle I think, and that means more to some than it does others, but that doesn't make them 'wet'.

This stems to the fact that we all chose our seats and have paid the premium since we moved to the stadium. We helped the club out by buying two years season tickets in one hit in the final year at Maine Road to help the club finance the move. Now, we're indirectly being forced out of those seats to accommodate people that can just throw more money at it. It doesn't sit well and it stinks, the fact we had two years notice isn't a justification either.

I wouldn't even have complained if they'd put our tickets up £200 for the sole reason that they are the best seats. Many would grumble but you can't please everyone and the world is full of busy fuckers that complain about fucking everything. However, it isn't £200, it's £400 (for me) and it's not because of the view, it's to accommodate people that want to sit on fucking sofa's like it's a starbucks and have plush concourse facilities. I don't want that, people I know don't want that, I'll go to starbucks if I want that, I just want to watch City in my seats I've had for years.

For me it's more about the reasons behind the increase than the actual increase (though not happy with that either admittedly) and that's why it doesn't sit well. I'm forced to stay and pay for other peoples fucking sofa's or move - and that stinks to high heaven and people are rightly miffed about it. Two years notice is irrelevant to the principle of it.
