Seat Counters - 2023/24

You’re fishing again Hello City. It’s like anyone who has a different opinion to you is wrong. I’m entitled to my opinions, just as you are entitled to your opinions. I’ve got used to you sticking up for the club no matter what. That’s your choice. I see things differently at times.

You can throw as many positives at it as you want, but at the end of the day there are still loads of tickets left for Burnley, which is mainly due to the expensive cost of the tickets, and this when Pep is our manager, and City are the best football team in the world. God forbid what the attendance would be against Burnley with the Etihad expanded, Pep has left, and the team is struggling. If we have so many fans, so many new fans locally and nationally, along with football tourists, Burnely should be selling sold out. It hasn’t yet. Still 2 days to go until the match

1 more point before it ends up in trench warfare again and drags on.

I didn’t see a ‘few empty seats’ against Huddersfield, so don’t put words into my mouth, whatever a few empty seats amount to in your opinion, I saw loads of empty seats against Huddersfield all over the ground looking from ESL3. A match with cheap individual and family tickets, played early Sunday afternoon, on a nice day weather wise. A perfect scenario for every seat being sold and ‘OCCUPIED’. If I could be arsed I’d post the pictures again that I took, but I can’t be arsed.

Let’s see if Burnley does sell out or not. And how many empty seats there are at the match, just out of interest and nothing else.
How many times do you need to be told?

The seats you are seeing for Burnley are returns from them and from our fans via the seat exchange. the Huddersfield game was sold out weeks in advance.

As a City fan if you dont have a season ticket you aren’t getting a sniff at any of the big games so people buy them and don’t attend all games.

Stop fucking fretting about outside perception. Of our fans and club all the time. You seem perpetually troubled and angry. Manchester United appear to have ruined your life.

Relax. This is a shit fixture which plenty won’t be bothered to attend. It really doesn’t matter.
 
Bournemouth ticket info out. Surely our ticket office is the only one in the world that would sell "Severely Restricted View" seats at a higher price than "Restricted View" seats!

I’ll tell you exactly why returns haven’t all sold. Most returns are bought by matchday buyers that live away from Manchester go to maybe half a dozen games a year, have to pay for travel accommodation, and the ticket. If they are anything like me then the end of January Christmas bills coming in, midweek, cold and windy needing a day and half off work, this game whoever it’s against isn’t a game I’ll pick, I guess many are in the same boat.
Plus ,for those same reasons there will be more returns than usual.

January is the only month with 76 days.

After Christmas everyone is skint after being paid on 14th December.

As I said at the time Dave, The Huddersfield game was a freebie for Hospitality Season Members (Joes, Kits, 93:20, Ardwick, Managers Corner, Legends etc), hence some decided not to bother as they hadn’t lost anything in cash terms, it was Huddersfield, a foregone conclusion, it was freezing, early KO on Sunday and on BBC IPlayer). I was there though. It was sold out, they can’t re sell tickets in those areas I mentioned as they are included as a seasonal package.

How many times? I don’t know Dave, how many times?

If I want to fret(arf!), as you put it, I will fret. Is that ok with you? Don’t tell me what to do. I don’t tell you what to do even though I don’t always agree with what you post. It may have escaped your attention Dave, but BM is a forum where people/City fans can discuss what they want to discuss and express their views and opinions as they see fit and please without being told how to do that by other forum members like yourself. In other words fuck off. :-)

Not once have I mentioned outside perceptions.(quote me!) I don’t know where you got that from. Another poster putting words into my mouth. 2 today. I really couldn’t give a shit what other fans think of our home support or lack of it. I get that grief and jibe all the time from United fans at work, in Trafford Park. It doesn’t bother me one bit. It‘s water off a ducks back now. The irony being, those United fans calling it the Emptyhad, etc, don’t go to United matches. I know, can’t get a ticket, blah, blah, fucking blah! Fuck off!!

Going back to the amount of tickets still on sale for Burnley, which is part of the wider match day ticket price discussion we’ve been having sensibly before you barged into with your big gob. ;-). Minus the Burnley returns on SSL3 which is roughly 1100-1200 tickets, I stand corrected on that, are you saying City fans returned over 1500 tickets at the time of my count because they can’t make the match and wanted to sell their tickets on the ticket exchange? Not a fucking chance! Are you seriously saying that many City fans bought tickets for the match and for whatever reason have decided to try and resell them? That aside, I thought seat exchange tickets went on sale closer to the match when all or most of the tickets had sold out. The ticket sales for Burnley have been selling slowly for as long as I can remember. I don’t remember it being sold out. I stand corrected on that.

As for Huddersfield, given everything about the match, ticket prices, day, time, weather, etc, there shouldn’t have been an empty seat, let alone hundreds of seats empty all over the ground. That’s what I find strange. There will always be the odd empty seat due to peoples circumstances, but it now seems that more and more City fans aren’t turning up for matches because they just can’t be bothered and for no other reason.

Anyway Dave, I’ve got to leave it at that for now as I’m beginning to fret again. ;-) (time for a beer)

A shit fixture? City are playing at home and a living legend will be returning. Most Blues will do what it needs to be there. Unfortunately some just can't afford it with the ridiculous pricing. Try telling them and their kids it's a shit fixture.

Many of those seats in level 3 CB / E will be hospitality seats the club has put back on sale. Have a look at the hospitality on sale for Everton, you will see lots off options for offsite, you won't find the same for Burnley.

The game was sold out pre Christmas, they'll be low hundreds left on sale come kick off time.
