Seat Counters 25/26

I thought Napoli would sell out. I appreciate it's a Thursday which isn't traditional for us now we're massive, but probably better for taking kids as it's only Friday to power through after a late night. Maybe it still will, but goes to show the strange situation we've got at City where even attractive pricing doesn't necessarily mean tickets sell out quickly.

The FA Cup third round always sells well when we're at home and is a great family day generally. But it's possibly the travel time and all that chaos which makes parents in particular decide the midweek games are too much.

Game will finish around 10pm so it's midnight before you're home considering how long it takes to get away afterwards.

It won't come close to selling out. The first game never does.

To be fair fa cup games are at the weekend and tickets are usually a lot cheaper. I don’t think the ticket situation has helped, as it’s becoming increasingly difficult to buy more than one ticket. Also your casual fan who might attend probably is less likely to bother buying a membership.

I think that first CL group game has always been an issue for one reason or another. Like it or not, loads of season ticket holders swerve the group games so it's left to members to take up a lot of the slack. We get a lot of international football fans turning up at our CL games and I'm guessing some of these will be students at Uni but I don't think the new term has started yet so that in itself will make a dent in sales.

Perhaps the club will prioritise matchday members who bought group games over missing season ticket holders when it comes to the later games. It seems only fair but they probably won’t.

Interestingly I was made aware yesterday that a High School up here (just outside of Glasgow) are taking 45 tickets and students down for the game this Thursday. All through a third party, same as the Newcastle case that caught the eye of the press.

No stadium tours on match day so they are going to Klanfield to view that dump first then back over for the match.

There are always coachloads of Scottish kids at our games.
 
Sticking with my aim of giving midweeks a miss this season. Watching from home. Should be cheap as chips midweeks to fill the ground.
