It says in addition regarding the premium seats so it must be 42,000+, not bad at all.

Not sure if the copy and paste ban includes the City website, but I've included the link above just to be safe.
It says 40,000 seasoncards have sold which is a new record and a sell out.
Also says that 2000 Premium priced seats have sold, but it's not clear if these are counted separately to season ticket sales.
Either way it's good news. With 40,000 season tickets, 3000 away tickets, that's going to leave about 12,000 match day tickets for each game to shift. Does anyone know how that compares to previous seasons in terms of the match day tickets we need to sell to be at capacity? Cheers.
It's 45k which includes STs and away support..so factoring in segregation it's 9/10k on sale to Cityzens/general
Didnt know where to write it it, but just watched Paul Lake talk about agueros goal, just paid for my first season ticket in 20 years and he makes me appreciate it all, watched aguerooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos goal and im a bit pissed. i fuckin love city, wifes gone to bed, im not tired and all i can think of is gillingham, rovers, qpr and a shit load of horrible years. 6-1, fuck everyone else , cunts. I love it.

Will be interesting to see Citys pricing strategy once the season starts as for the smaller games we will have around 13k seats to shift rather than the 9k of previous seasons. Furthermore I would imagine a number of the new season ticket holders were previously bought tickets on a week by week basis so that in itself has eaten into the numbers who buy tickets on a casual basis. I must admit I thought we would have sold more but I suppose a number of fans had hoped for the £299 tickets and would struggle financially to justify it in other areas of the ground.

We have sold 40k season ticket holders and as we have found over the past couple of seasons the away team rarely takes all 3k thousand tickets. Even the likes of Newcastle have taken a reduced allocation. for arguments sake lets say the smaller clubs take 2k that will still leave 13k roughly

If away fans only take one tier (probable considering the pathetic numbers some sides bring) then we'll have even more home tickets available. If they're well marketed and tickets are easy to but then it'll be a good thing.

40000 plus in excess of 2000 premium season tickets. Your right about away allocations though.We have sold 40k season ticket holders and as we have found over the past couple of seasons the away team rarely takes all 3k thousand tickets.

Mate where has the 40k plus 2k Premium seats come from? The website says 40k. Either way I think the ticketing strategy and pricing structure will have to be much more flexible this season to create demand for certain home matches

The OS states that over 2,000 premium seats were also sold. We are presuming that the 'also' means in addition to but could be read otherwise. i'll go for the brighter outlook myself.Mate where has the 40k plus 2k Premium seats come from?

I think in the same sentence it discusses £299 tickets. So if we add them also we have probably sold about 50k season tickets. Happy days

"The Club has passed a ticketing milestone by reaching a sell-out 40,000 Seasoncards for the forthcoming season – a record.......In excess of 2,000 Premium Seats,(introduced for the first time this season alongside additional £299 SeasonCards) have also been sold."
I interpret that as 40,000 + 2000.

Well I really hope that is the case. That is a fantastic number. I do not understand why the club would not say '42k which includes 2k Premium Seats. Maybe the term season tickets is a unique term associated with the proles now rather than the aristocracy sat in the cushioned seats.

40 or 42000...whatever (though I would interpret that statement as 40K). It's all marketing bollocks to keep the profile high which is fair enough. What I don't like is the lack of any transparancy with the fans when it comes to ticketing issues. What happened to the poor bleeders on the waiting list who were scared into buying Premium Seats after being told that they might not get one from various texts/emails from the club? I would like them to give us, for example, exact numbers of bods on the various cup schemes from last season, so that you can make an informed decision on participating on the chance of getting a Cup Final ticket. I know that keeping this information secret probably helps commercially, but it does nothing with respect to fan engagement which I thought it was supposed to be about these days.

I read the statement as meaning 40,000 season tickets plus over 2,000 premium seats with an unknown amount of corporate sales, that weren't explicitly mentioned, on top.
It is ambiguous though and the cynic in me says that that's deliberate. The club gets it's headline "40,000 sold out, new record figure" circulated throughout the media but leaves people unsure as to how many match day tickets will be available whilst continuing to flog premium seats and corporate tickets on a seasonal basis. I think "bladdered" is spot on with this making commercial sense but it leaving the fans feeling less engaged. The club is doing so much right these days but we're starting to feel less and less part of it.
That is very sad.

I read it differently, 40,000 seasoncards, in excessof 2000 premium seats. To me theyre in the 40,0000
