rather depends where CL final I'd played ... Cardiff this year would've sold out no problem... Kiev next year not so much !!This puts me off bothering going on the Champs Lge scheme with my son. My son can never go (school) and I miss the odd one. Only do it to gaurantee tickets for the final but (assuming we qualify) I would think it not that hard to get one for the final even if not on the scheme (appreciate it will be more of a novelty but I think the overall price and distance to travel will put loads off!
Yeh that's a good post.
As for the younger fans who can't get tickets they should look at Boro away. Sluggish sales so if they really want to watch city there it is.
These threads are amazing really, we do have a fan base, maybe the 5th biggest in England, it will get bigger but it will take time. The issue has arose due to the media mentioning empty seats and the Urinal fans taking this on board, and trying to beat us with this. I see plenty of stadiums not full (Barca, Madrid, and even or so called neighbours with a fan base of around 659 million. However its only us that given this amount of media attention. There are grounds with capacities of 30K, that aren't full. Maybe shouldn't beat ourselves up, remember our fan base was loyal and loud prior to us competing with the so called big boys. Maybe that is the issue.
Not everyone can afford the trip average £40 for ticket then travel on top £30/40 that's £70 before the day has started. Factor in if we win they'll have to fork out upwards of £100 for a final ticket and again travel it's not cheap and loads of people can't afford it so maybe people are saving and hoping for the final and I don't blame them. Maybe a Sunday afternoon doesn't help a 3/4 hour journey with work the next day. Wembley for a semi final is a piss take it should be at a neutral ground. I wouldn't care if I was the only City fan in the ground on Sunday just as long as I'm in.
check the row numbers. That will tell you how many are online saleSo there are basically 11 blocks out of the 26 with tickets available...
there could be 1000 tickets left or 5000..... who knows...
Will they still be able to post tickets out in time now if buying now? Or will I have to pick it up now at the ground?
