Seat Counters 25/26

This post in another thread sums up why City's ticketing criteria are ridiculus. I think there are thousands of fans, me included, in a simialr situation to this. If they allow an extra ticket to be bought by qualifiying people it largely kills this problem and attract lapsed/casual blues to attend these kind of games, thus keeping them engaged.

Does anyone think these tickets could go on open sale ? My brother has a season card so we should get one ticket , i have a lot of points as a Cityzen member , but i will need three more for my sons and grandson , dont want to be at mercy of the ticket touts like Ticketmaster. Managed to beg steal and borrow five tickets for the Arsenal and Villa Carabao cup finals , hopefully will be able to source tickets again

Or the BBC made it up and everyone lifted it. I am sure 40,800 is correct. The bottom two tiers were almost full and they hold 34,000. The top tiers were half full. Newcastle was a bit higher because of their fans in the top of the South stand. Both over 40,000 which is not that bad.

That would also confirm my suspicions following United's FA Cup defeat to Fulham last season when a 72,000+ figure was published within minutes of the penalty shootout.

A few days later it was mysteriously revised to 65,000.

So the initial figure is lower for City, but higher for United
How fucking convenient?

Agreed, and it’s also about getting seats together, not one who qualifies early then the possibility that those extra tickets become available later at lower qualifying criteria are the other side of the ground in a different tier. If it’s children you’re talking about especially, that’s just a non-starter.

This is what City don't understand. You can see it in the post above. He's got 3 kids who want to come but once he's bought his own ticket they won't be coming. They drive me mad, honestly. I've got 6 mates who would come with me but they won't make that decision a week before the game so I'm pretty sure they won't be coming.

Yep
I'll be eligible on the first day, but my partner (who funnily enough attended the Galatasaray game) will be in the last batch when all the best value for money seats have gone.

Normally I would understand the reasoning, but not when the allocation will be 30,000+

Similar for me. If they do get chance to get a ticket is very unlikely it’ll be anywhere near my seat.

Salford have put their tickets on General Sale.

From the looks of things they've sold block 313. With 314 and 315 still on Sale.

316-318 are yet to go on sale, so I'd guess they've sold about 2,000 so far.

On their seat counters thread there are a few asking why they didn't have better sales windows:

Window 1 - Any Salford City season ticket holder
Window 2 - Any rag bastard

The have always done a Childs " pull though" if the adult qualifies. They have never expected children to purchase tickets at a later date and not be sat with their appropriate adult
