Seat Counters 25/26

Sounds like it could end up like Wembley with people sitting down in standing areas.

It won't be like that next season, loads have bought season tickets in those areas from what I've heard. Plenty from SSL3.

This is a one off and obviously only part of the stand was initially sold. If they get their act together and remove the current restrictions it will sell out.

I'm sure the pricing was probably to prevent people whingeing about how they paid £56 when it was first released.

Couldn't agree more.
And I predict for season 27/28 they will be selling full ST and chasing new signups as they realise (slowly) what has gone on

They should have realised what was going on this season, the risks were clear as day for anyone to see, but they keep making the wrong decisions on pricing and criteria. I’m actually sick of them getting it so wrong, someone should be accountable for it.
 
Something has eased. I bought my mate a ticket just now. (He is a Cityzen but joined after June.) Bought on my membership, for him, not on his membership.
 
I had to sit on hold for an hour and a half to buy two tickets yesterday for my boys and it turns out that even though they were members they had joined before (or after) a specific date. They were season ticket holders before that without a gap. I wasn't even sure what he was apogiising for . I sat in a queue for ages, spent 20 minutes fucking about trying different ways to buy tickets, spent the rest of the working day with my phone playing that irritating hold music just to be granted the privilege of parting with my £90. Over 2 hours of arsing around. Many others would have fucked it off.

What the fucking hell are the club doing?

I’m tempted by a ticket for the Villa game. Gave up my ST this season but as someone said, I’d like to be there for Pep’s farewell.

However, when I log in it still says ‘restricted sale.’ Is there a criteria I’m not aware of?

Sure I’ve got enough points and am a match day member.

You need to log on separately onto the ticket section of the website. I always get this message on my iPhone.

They’re absolutely hopeless. I genuinely think they should appoint a dozen regulars in this thread and we’d do a far better job and get the place filled.

I’m sure they will sell if it opens up to all members today Tim but I just can’t fathom why they didn’t have that criteria ready to go yesterday “in case tickets remain”, especially as the match is now only 2 days away.

The ticket prices are another discussion and while I think they’re too high, 3500 fans bought them at that price in the new stand the other week so I guess they wouldn’t be too happy if this batch went on sale at the cheaper price, not to mention all the other members who bought tickets elsewhere in the ground at that price. They could’ve at least sold the safe standing tickets in the new stand though at a cheaper price.

Surely everyone is used to differential pricing by now. It applies to every other walk of life. Sometimes booking early costs more but you secure your seat. It’s the same for hotels, airlines, etc. i think £56 is too high but have no problem with ticket prices being slashed at the last minute. I would be happy with selling them to local postcodes in Beswick and surrounds for £10. Just sell the bloody tickets.

I'd call it dynamic pricing, rather than differential pricing, and for me it's a no no for sporting events and concerts. That said, the safe standing seats in the new stand could've been priced lower
 
Have they reduced the sales criteria? Get them on open sale for god's sake. There will be hundreds of seat exchange tickets appearing today too.
 
The remaining 50% new North Stand tickets are on sale to all Season Ticket Members and existing Cityzens Matchday and Junior Members (as of Thursday 21 May 2026). 4 tickets per member (Season Ticket Members can purchase an additional 3 tickets).
