Seat Counters 25/26

[Tim of the Oak]

The club must accept that they have badly mishandled ticketing; all of their tweaking around the edges is only making matters worse. Restricting who you can transfer to and how many times you may transfer is creating more problems than it is solving; look at all the empty seats at the Burnley and Everton games for instance, and resale sites must be reined in, as they are the biggest problem of all.

Whoever has been in charge of ticketing should be removed from that position, and a route and branch review should be conducted to determine how to grow a sustainable match going fanbase that balances present and future attendance with revenue.

Yes there has been far too many changes to ticketing rules and at times it feels like we are in some sort of experiment.

I have heard a bit of Danny Wilson’s and Roel de Vries’ rationale in recent years. They sort of see increased paid membership sales as a trade off for more sensible ticket pricing. More memberships are likely to mean more ticket sales down the line, in their eyes.

The person responsible for ticket sales might get the odd bollocking but they will also get praise and bonuses from our senior execs if there is a big surge in paid memberships. We might not like it but I reckon paid membership sales will have rocketed this season.

We only


We only go to cup matches where we are drawn against lower division teams -:)

The only away games I’ve been to this season are Hudders and Chorley (pre-season).

I’ve got a spare ticket for the Bournemouth game which I simply can’t arsed to move on. It’s going to sit empty.

You are best off listing it on the exchange. Will mean you don’t count as a no-show on the 16 games rule.

I haven’t really seen any evidence of that at all. If it wasn’t for the protests last season, chances are match day prices would have gone up again. (They’ve gone up every other year and we have had some of the most expensive in the league).

Put ours on the Exchange yesterday and both sold in minutes.

I needed 3 extra tickets for the Bournemouth game and 2 were for casual/non members

No problem whatsoever, so for once City have read the room and made the.whole process easier.

What’s the situation with Bournemouth and Dortmund tickets? Are our seat counters on strike?

They're too busy identifying and monitoring BM member accounts for the ticket office mafia.

I did a count for Dortmund yesterday:

Level 3 - 4650
Level 2 - 1026
Level 1 - 487

6163 left. Sales have slowed a lot since a couple of weeks ago when I was confident it would be a comfortable sell out. Still over a week to go though

For Bournemouth, I think there were about 400-500 of the cheaper returned Bournemouth allocation left plus various numbers of tickets showing in most other blocks. I think that might turn out to be better attended than some have been predicting

Not as easy as it could be though. A season ticket holder can buy three extras, all in his own name, without specifying who’s actually using them.

But a non member still can’t go and buy any.

Oh yeah, not disagreeing mate, although I suppose with the Galatasaray game on the horizon, they need to display some kind of control.

Perhaps I'm being naive but I'd like to believe that occasionally even City realise that they've cocked-up

But I think they’ve now taken Colin Bell level 2 ( 3rd tier) off sale for Dortmund match ?

Count for for Dortmund this morning at 9.30am:

Level 3: 3,289

Level 2: 895

Level 1: 200

Total: 4,384

Nothing showing as available for Colin Bell Level 3 so they have decided to prioritise other stands sales. Probably closer to 5,500 tickets left in total

Any chance of a Seat Counter with enough points updating us on Newcastle? I'm waiting for it to hit 20K but not massively confident.

Hopefully see you up there mate.

I'll do a count after I've bought mine at 4pm. I reckon you're in with a chance as I think Villa just about made it down to 19k and we got slightly less tickets than we did for Newcastle. Difficult to tell at this early stage of the sales process though

Thanks mate. It's a drinker's kick off though. Saturday 5.30pm, so that will add to the demand I suspect.
