Seat Counters - 2024/25

[James2401125]

4435 tickets left on the OS for one of the most important games of the season because the cheapest ticket is £71. Fucking ridiculous pricing.

Plenty available through non-official channels too.

Going to be dead in the ground tomorrow, club only have themselves to blame.

Awful pricing. This game has been rearranged 3 times and pep wonders why he has to shout at the tunnel club every game to gee them up.

Mine and my dad's have just resold. Can't make it due to work.

Plenty available through non-official channels too and a much cheaper cost and still struggling to shift. £71 for a mid-week game, must have lost their fucking minds.

Going to be dead in the ground tomorrow, club only have themselves to blame.

Fucking good. It's only when they start seeing more and more empty seats they might get the message.
Where are all the tourist fans for this one?

It's their 14th missed game.

They only turned up for United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea. City have taken their Flexi-Gold season tickets off them. They did turn up for the Real Madrid game in the CL as well.

The facts are due to pricing and direction the club have taken we can’t sell out home games even before a new 9000 stand is opened, have thousands of unsold semi final tickets, have multiple protests planned and have alienated almost every legacy supporter with the direction the club has taken.

Absolute fuck up from the club and heads should be on spikes of those responsible.

Absolute mental way to run a club which has put us in reverse which will be difficult for the club to stop.

I blame myself for getting a chant going around the ground during the only time I’ve been in there. 100% freebie

Another problem is that they do not appear to have taken into account fixtures that could be moved owing to potential FA Cup matches. If I were at the club, before setting a minimum £71 price for this game, I would have thought, "Wait a minute, one or both teams could be in the semi-finals, and this will be moved to midweek with relatively short notice." Let's downgrade it to a lesser category game so we can better deal with the influx of returns if that happens. It's the same with the Bournemouth game. Once again, clueless.

The Bournemouth game was always going to be top dollar, because it’s the last home of the season.

The club would be terrified of selling it on the ‘cheap’ because it’s only Bournemouth and then it turns into a must win game for the league.

Obviously they could always reduce prices when it moves to midweek and the league’s well gone. But that would create issues with people who paid top price when they first went on sale.

That's one of issues with putting all seats on sale at the start of the season to bank all the money and interest made on it.

 

[Manchester33]

OK so you would buy a match day ticket at the lesser prices. Thanks.

I’ve just given away 2 tickets for tomorrow night so there will be cheaper ones knocking about. It’s a big game so if you can get there, turn up and get behind the lads.

Come on City.

I have a seasoncard so I’ll be there tomorrow. I’m not going on Sunday (running the marathon).

On the point about ‘cheaper tickets knocking about’ I would suspect this only really applies to a very small % of blues…

A big chunk of the City fans I know either wouldn’t be tech savvy enough to find them, or confident that they weren’t being scammed. The club sets the tone with £71 tickets…. If they were less greedy, they’d have a full house. The fact of the matter is they value a small profit over atmosphere.

It was actually going quite well considering its price, it got bumped about half way through the race and the jockey thought it had gone wrong so pulled it up. Horse seemed fine afterwards though.

They'll have that problem anyway when Bournemouth send back at least 1 tier and the club sell them for £30

I have said it before, the club should facilitate something which lets fans sell their ticket for less than they paid or even give it away if they can't attend with the new restrictions but it is opposite what the clubs wants to do.

They hate tickets being sold cheaper than they sell them and are clamping down on these types of resales so I would stay well away form the sites. The ones that sell much higher get a free pass it seems though...

 

[gkmcfc]

Why do you say worst? If those people didn't go then no one would be there. I'm not being arsey just asking

For me it’s just the match experience that differs to the PL. Fans that aren’t engaged with the game. At the Madrid game there were lads in front of us following Madrid. One was vaping in the family stand and took umbrage when my son told him to stop. Others feel the same around us. It was that bad many of us considering coming off the cup scheme.

 

[Donmcfc]

It's not all about you is it? Again, how do you think City fan used to get tickets?

The ticket fairy?

That was a mid season concession though I think. Pretty sure that at the start of the season they were selling away returns at normal home prices.

 

[Donmcfc]

4,250 empty seats tomorrow night? £71 a ticket. That's over £300,000 of lost revenue to add to the thousands of pounds lost revenue due to poor ticket sales for the semi final. When are these fucking idiots running the club going to realise the damage that they are doing by continually bleeding the fans dry?
It will take more than peaceful protests and 6 minute boycotts to sort this mess out.

I was meaning the possibility of moving it for a possible FA Cup final, not because it’s only Bournemouth. Once again however, they have set the price high in the hope that we would lift the Premier League trophy on the day, which only serves to highlight what I've said before: their whole ticketing strategy has been designed to capitalise on Pep and the team's success. Make a brief profit while we're winning things, nothing substantive or long-lasting.

Some of the executives we have are good business people, others I am not so sure about.
