I was a step further. It let me in, got a lovely view of the stadium map with zero seats available. Just tell me it’s sold out. Then when the odd seat popped up it then told me I couldn’t relocate? IdiotsI was in some sort of repeat loop. Kept been sent to the back of a queue and being told 1 minute to wait. If your going to take the piss City at least let those in the queue know when you have sold out so they don’t just keep hanging on in hope.
This could be the way forward for a North stand expansion by looking at the amount of interest for these silver season tickets. Sell a few thousand silver season tickets at affordable prices and the extra seats are always going to sell at premium prices for the top 6 games.
You were way off with your assessment thst nobody would want.a Silver Card. Thousands did. Hope you get sorted next year.The amount isn’t overly the problems it’s the shitshow in how they was offered which has pissed people off. I’d been a season ticket holder for 10 years. Stopped due to work but always had memberships, go as many games as possible and some half arsed person who got a membership last week has probably got one before me. Many mocked on here when we said the clubs lost its way. It truly has, hopefully they stop advertising the membership as being on the “waiting list” for tickets. No list exists, log on, with no history and fill your boots. Cunts
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!Who is surprised? We are just pissed off. When they start doing the dirty on season ticket holders I’m sure many of you will be happy to moan then

I agree with a lot of what you say threespires. In my own case, being part of the OSC means it reduces the dealings I have with the Club’s admin and I receive a better service. I was being helped out by the leadership of the OSC this Sunday who graft 7 days a week to help fans.These days the club are pretty much excellent at anything they put their mind to, but sadly issues like this are not a priority as it doesn't have a significant impact on the business model or results. It's the nature of the beast with modern football I'm afraid, particularly for successful teams.
It took me a while to come to terms with this and stop feeling bitter about it, so that I could continue to enjoy being a city fan again albeit with a revised view of what that actually means.
That is the stupid logic I think city will take from this. It isn’t difficult. It was the only thing on offer. Thousands wanted a season ticket. They got the only thing they could. I didn’t get one as our club is a shambles, I’m more bothered about my daughter who will be incredibly disappointed. I begrudge giving city my time and money moving forwardsYou were way off with your assessment thst nobody would want.a Silver Card. Thousands did. Hope you get sorted next year.
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.You were way off with your assessment thst nobody would want.a Silver Card.

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.

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.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.
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.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.

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.Exactly. It's the ideal business concept.
