Seat Counters 25/26

Hundreds on sale for Wolves next Saturday..only £53 in CB3 on a cold January day against the bottom team!
Rows and rows together, must be also those season ticket exchange seats eh?
Declaring sell outs, flogging hospitality, then drip releasing extra tickets, at silly prices, when agencies haven't sold them = chickens coming home to roost.
You could sell tickets in good time, to City fans, at sensible prices for less glamorous fixtures, and fill the gound. Or stick with what you're doing and see what happens...

It’s weird, like most people don’t want to pay £380.00 for a KFC Bucket/3rd tier hospitality ticket v Wolves!

If i was City i’d be telling them ticket-tout sites, get rid of them tickets and do your job or your getting the exact amout of tickets for the Arsenal game which you’ve sold for this game
 
What is the position of the seat counters?
1) we don’t have enough fans so can’t fill the stadium or
2) we’ve got loads of fans but these fans can’t be arsed going?

What’s the criticism?
Demand has dropped for two reasons - years of inflated pricing has forced long term blues out of the habit of going.

And the tourists who were buzzing to see Haaland in 22/23 and the Treble winners in 23/24, have fucked off now we’ve dropped off in quality.

The stadium is about the right size now. We’re selling out most Prem games, a few end up on the exchange left over each game but it’s mostly full, and we’re almost selling out a lot of champions league games. We don’t sell well when there’s consecutive home games in a short time frame and people will pick and choose between Galatasaray and Newcastle, which is a problem.

But the main problem will be next year. They need to sell discounted season tickets and heavily discounted match tickets to fill 61,000 and bring back disgruntled long term City fans, that are locals. As well as any migrants who have moved to Manchester and want to watch us.

If they are really bothered about selling out regularly, we’ll need Exeter prices in a lot more games next season. My fear is they’ll continue with £50+ match tickets and the place will be dead.

These must be partner returns, I checked last night and there weren’t many on the exchange. This partners policy is fucking daft. Soriano thinks we’ve got Utd and Liverpool’s plastic fanbases. It’s delusional.

The clever and savvy people running the club won’t listen, and they won’t learn. They are determined to push ahead with their short sighted ticket selling polices regardless of more and more empty seats appearing for each remaining home match.

As for the additional 8000 NSL2 seats, they must have something groundbreaking and extraordinary planned to sell out those seats next season.

Well on the day the "second drop" of Chelsea home tickets were released in mid December, I was five minutes late logging on, and there were 11,000 ahead of me in the queue when I got in, and it was sold out in minutes.
There were loads of empties at the game though, particularly in level 2 middle tier, rows of empties in the 93:20 area. Seems very strange given they were impossible to buy, the thousands who were queuing for the second batch. Something is not adding up.
 
I don't know whether Soriano and Co really understand the demographic of City's support.
Yes it has picked up quite well with the younger ones , and we have a lot of FOCs still ticking over who started with the great sides of the 60s and 70s, but in between it was mainly hardcore blues only (luckily got my kids to be blues) and our support definitely took a hit with kids in those 2 decades with the incessant Sky propaganda.

So I agree can't take the support for granted need to keep growing it to cover the ' fallen' blues as well
 
They will write a book in the future on how City’s board managed to oversee 10+ years of success on the pitch yet somehow managed for the club to end up with less supporters than they had when they started.

They really have achieved the impossible.

They should be contacting supporters every week to see what needs to be done about filling that stand, but the complacency is staggering.

So true. Lots of youngsters and lots of FOCs. We lost a generation. That said United have lost this generation. The future is Blue,

Let’s hope we build some momentum. This League Cup is very important this season. We need to bag at least one trophy. The first leg was a great atmosphere and a thrilling match.

Slightly baffled by this given its a genuine chance to see City reach Wembley, prices are pretty reasonable and given the opponent Id wager you see a full strength City team selection too. Lets hope more turn up as the object of the exercise is to win stuff and we are close to the final in this comp. Paid £37.50 combined for me and my son for our seats for this on the scheme which is great value - we are on the Cup scheme.

Tbh if you offered me top 4 and a League Cup win right now Id happily take it.

They’re too busy bragging about how many they’ve managed to ban.
