Anyone know why the back 5 rows of safe standing were completely unavailable yesterday? Were they reserved for OSC, 1894? Or fucking resellers?
It will definitely go past season ticket holders. I still think it will get to the stage where season ticket holders can buy an extra 2 each. It's likely we get a further allocation too which could be another 3k ticketsThere’s no point arguing with each other. Anyone putting in the effort to improve the atmosphere at the Etihad and Wembley deserves some credit.
Glad to see sales going so well. It will be interesting to see if tickets go past season card holders. We also have many thousands more match day members this season (as tons of people on the FV pages have them now) so I’m confident of a sell out.
No idea mate - those rows certainly aren't part of the 1894 sectionAnyone know why the back 5 rows of safe standing were completely unavailable yesterday? Were they reserved for OSC, 1894? Or fucking resellers?
I wouldn't have thought so. There are only 3k points drops from 11k to 8k to 5k as opposed to 5k and 4k points drops for the other windows so I'm guessing a larger proportion of ST holders not on the cup scheme fall into the 5k-11k points bracket than the other bracketsThis would also explain why the queues haven't been as long. I'd expect this'll be less of a factor as we go through the criteria.
Really interested to see how many sell in each window today. It makes no sense to me that the club rushed through the cup scheme criteria, but have spread out the Non Cup Scheme Criteria over 2 days.
The only reason I can think of is if there's a lot more people in this 10k-20k points range, who are no longer on the scheme, than we think.
Surely there's not many over 20k though?
Sounds to me like the club are giving prime areas to resellers? If they are then there’s going to be a danger of selling to arse? Surely the club not that daft, hopefully reserved for OSCNo idea mate - those rows certainly aren't part of the 1894 section
Yep, smallest queue so farSmall queue again, I joined just after 10 so I was at the back and placed in position 443
They've got the criteria wrong for none scheme members, there was never going to be lots of fans on 20k+ not in the cup scheme. Should of been been 3 windows instead of 6 - 15k, 7.5k all season ticket holders.Yep, smallest queue so far
Agree with this. I'm on cup scheme and would have qualified immediately but want to take two lads who are members. I'm confident that it will go down to members but now have to wait for these unneccessary two days to get seats together. I've got a feeling there will be lots like this wanting to go with family/friends etc.They've got the criteria wrong for none scheme members, they're was never going to be lots of fans on 20k+ not in the cup scheme.

People saying the queues are short today, I don’t think they will be on Thursday.Agree with this. I'm on cup scheme and would have qualified immediately but want to take two lads who are members.

That's what I think will happen. It will explode on Thursday.People saying the queues are short today, I don’t think they will be on Thursday.
Just checked and I've got a meeting at Thursday 10am, not ideal at all. Saying that I expect 1pm could be the biggun.That's what I think will happen. It will explode on Thursday.
Thursday will indeed be prime viewing on here.That's what I think will happen. It will explode on Thursday.
I'll be on that one. I suspect a big queue.Just checked and I've got a meeting at Thursday 10am, not ideal at all. Saying that I expect 1pm could be the biggun.
Defo got that criteria at 10 today wrong, will be hardly any on 20k points and not on cup schemeL1: 2,736
L2: 151
L5: 10,377
Total Left: 13,264
Approx 350 sold in the 10am window
You can appreciate everything they do and still call this out for what it is. They’ve prioritised ticket price over atmosphere for a final. That’s their choice, and they’re entitled to use their club privilege to secure those seats. But let’s not pretend it’s an atmosphere-first decision.I don't disagree about your comments on it being easier to generate noise from the back of the stand, however it's completely unfair to accuse the one group who regularly stands up to the club on behalf of the fans, of using "club privilege" to secure cheap seats.
532What row does safe standing start in level 5 and what number is the back row?
