Seat Counters - 2023/24

thank you, it's a tense time as a counter, but with all the blocks open it's eased some of the tension, the not knowing exactly how many is in each of those big blocks that are normally not shown, well we don't have that worry this year, i think someone should log them for future reference, anywhere between (900-1080)

There’s still an element of mystery about the 8000 tickets that were missing on day one of sales. It’s possible that some of those could come back on sale.

Not that much of a mystery corporate players staff etc. and SC branches could take over 6 thousand at least in the latter case they’ll go to blues.:-)

i would envisage supporters clubs, City themselves, and enough for 8 buses from Scotland, but i agree, it certainly adds an element of mystery to seat counting, the real excitement/confusion comes when the fa start increasing the allocation from fa returns, what a time to be alive, and potentially a whole 3 weeks of excitement, in many ways a community shield style sale will kill it for us veterens of seat counting, maybe the club should hold back the criteria for our sakes

That’s definitely what they are. Im just pointing out that some could easily reappear if they aren’t taken up or whatever so there will be an element of mystery about if/when we sell out.

I’m don’t think there are many, if any, FA returns for semi finals. I think that’s why the allocation goes from 27000ish to 34,000ish. You can work out how many there are by taking the total capacity (88,000?) subtracting the club alllocation plus Club Wembley plus those central corporate blocks on the bottom tier.

You’re right. It’s the thrill of these unknowns that makes a Wembley seat count so thrilling. They sort the seat counting men from the boys.

Be amazed if this don’t sell out, think we more or less sold out against Sheffield last season if memory serves me right. This time better opposition and since winning champions league seem to have attracted a lot more followers.

Don’t worry about selling out. The club has great connections with all the London ticket agencies so if we don’t sell them, they will!

Can get two in our end online for less than £110 each including booking fee which for a tourist is great value! They must be confident of securing them to be selling at that price.

They’ve also been a bit more sensible with the sales criteria I think.
 
Why not just sell all the tickets to genuine City fans via the OS? Are the people running the club that desperate to drive match day revenue at any cost that they have to siphon off a few hundred home match tickets to legal ticket touting websites?

Season ticket and match day tickets going up in price, home and away tickets being siphoned off to legal ticket touting websites, no new season tickets being made available, only being turned into match day tickets sales, etc.

What has our club become? What have the people running our club become? People who worked at Maine Road and have risen through the ranks at City, and have all but forgotten about the fans, and what the fans meant to the club.

The discord between the club and the City fans is actually growing even though Khaldoon admitted as much and promised to reverse that years ago.

For these type of games I'm all for selling to any blue that wants to go be that legacy fan or the mum with a young kid from Kidderminster who is city daft, as long as we give those 'legacy' fans first option which the criteria does. City get a hell of a lot wrong regarding ticket, but the Real tie and the semi they've got spot on for me
