They promised to be great option for families like my own who don't care about the opposition and are paying £150 a time for the lower profile fixtures we enjoy. It's just a shame the way it's been handled. Feels like we've been experimented on to test demand at this point.

I'm with you trust me. Just trying to polarise people's thoughts so they can see that City don't give a toss about any of their local fans. The crazy thing is I have seen queue numbers as high as 4,000 quoted already and I suspect as many as twice that over the course of 30 minutes tried. It then stands to reason that the North Stand expansion would sell out immediately yet they still don't bother because the same extra 6000 Mancunians turning up once a fortnight is not the type of revenue stream they want!

The thing not considered are the people who deferred then getting their tickets back. So you had last years season ticket holders renewing, the deferred back which meant an extremely limited number available now. I’m sure the demand is there given today, but as you say city don’t care about us in the slightest. They have falsely advertised memberships and pissed a lot of their proper fans off. Typical city
 
To add to what I've already said.

The families they said they were targeting to give them a cheaper option of tickets (all marketing of course - they don't really care), would have stood no chance of getting multiple tickets.

They would have lost out to people who would have paid gold prices if they were available but just took any ticket they could (can't complain at that as I was going to do similar).

Exactly. It's the ideal business concept. Sell the unattractive games to the local poor at a crumb of a price whilst set aside the glamour games for the cash rich tourists. "Let them eat cake" said Soriano as he washed down his latest corporate meal as he heard of the plight of local fans hungry for football who were disappointed they couldn't get a season ticket.

No doubt in my mind that this is what's happened. Real shame to see City taking Manchester families for granted like this. Tourists come and go but local support doesn't, but the way prices are going so many will be excluded unless it's an early stage FA Cup fixture. Terrible short-termism.

Yes I’ve got a feeling that families (who should have been prioritised) missed out. If Forums like this got behind the Club when they wished to act against season card hoarders, there would be more tickets available to committed Blue families.

We all love City but you don't have to be poor to balk at being asked to pay around £150 to see us play Brentford on a Wednesday, because it's a lot to ask. This is what local families who pay to see City regularly are trying to escape, but it seems like City aren't bothered as long as they increase the number of tourists. What this exclusivity will mean for the future - and the atmosphere - I don't know. I just know if matchday tickets go up alongside this it will leave a really bad taste - and more empty seats, sadly.
 
My Dad's been a season ticket holder for 60 years
I've been a Season Ticket Holder for 45 years
My sons went to every home watch and several aways last year including Wembley. We bought Citycards directly because we were told it put them on the waiting lsit for season tickets.

I couldn't get the very first season tickets for my boys that I promised them. They would have likely to renew for their lives like we have done. City need to be very careful here.
 
i logged on at 9-30 and phone at 9-30 was over 3000 online and 140 on phone, got to 10-25 and redirected and it said sold out got to 40 on phone and i turned it off, but as im got membership from a few years back when i had to give my season card up and now over 65, i gust get some cheap seats when i want to go as its a
