Season Ticket Waiting List | Sold Out

I get a sense of bewilderment reading parts if this thread. It was always going to be tough to get a new season ticket for 2022-23. City have won four out of five titles and have just signed the best young player in the world.

City have lost a fair number of seats with the revised arrangements and hoardings. Large numbers of those who deferred their season ticket appear to have come back.

Yet we get a load of entitled self-entitled moaning from those who missed out blaming everyone at the club.

The only way to be able to issue more season tickets is to expand the stadium, starting with a third tier to the North Stand. Until that happens people will continue to miss out on season tickets.

Even on that there is no consensus. Some seem to want to demolish the whole North Stand to replace it with a large single tier. Imagine the howls of disapproval from those forced out for a season? Some don’t think that expansion is needed because ‘there are loads of empty seats at every match’. Others seem to think that anyone from outside of Manchester should not be there?

I managed to get a season ticket after long gap since my last one lapsed. I did this because the team had a bad season losing the title to United and beaten by Wigan in the Cup Final and Mancini was sent packing. I got a second season ticket for my wife when the South Stand was expanded. That required paying a deposit well in advance.

Maybe there could be a more systematic approach to queuing for season tickets? But ultimately the same number will miss out.

everyone wants to do all 19. not always possible.
my daughter works in retail so only does half the games . do you want to take her card off her. the same kid that was at Chesterfield Walsall etc. or singing CTID on the way back from Boro after the 8-1. yeah that's fair.

If there is someone who CAN make all 19 instead, then yes, your daughter should lose out (if the seat is empty for half the games).


We want a full stadium. Some fans are desperate to watch City and can't - while your daughter leaves an empty seat - how is that fair?

If that’s the real reason then fair enough, and the club’s hands are obviously largely tied.

I have heard that reason before but didn’t know if it was true, suppose my head can’t get round the fact of somebody paying £500+ on a ST and not turning up to use it.

I make sure to get every penny worth out of mine :)

i think mostly its in family stand, as they have kids season cards at a small amount, i would say if you dont go to 2 games on trot the 3rd you will miss, and if that is utd liverpool or any top 6 then thats it, but you could also put ticket on the site for resale

Great response. Basically, you're alright, Jack. Screw anyone else who wants to watch City play - all cause you and your daughter went to a few games when we were shit (that we all did....) and can't be arsed spending 5 minutes to list your ticket on the exchange.
 
If the club didn't charge so much for single game tickets it would be much easier to list them on the exchange and have someone fill the seat.

I missed three games last year (covid), listed for the two league games, didn't sell. Couldn't list for champions league.

Who is this mythical person who knows he will be able to go to every game , every week , 9 months in advance ?
Bill has just said that his daughter has been there throughout the bad times but has to work matchdays sometimes. He doesn’t elaborate wether the seat gets used when she’s not there, nor should he have to .
It’s not a perfect system but I’d imagine there isn’t one . There are games I couldn’t give my ticket away never mind selling it .
 
Some blocks don't sell for low demand games at all, and you get messed around if you list it sometimes. E.g. It sells then the clubs relists it as the buyer notices the club are now selling all their tickets for £30, or it get put in a basket for hours on end so you can't take it down even though it hasn't sold.

Also the ticket exchange is zero help for people who can't make it at short notice. If you list you are never sure it has sold until three hours before the game, as the club can relist at any time so there is no confidences in the system.
