I'm wondering if they've done this for Madrid. I still struggle to believe it's sold out over a month before the game at the prices they were charging. Perhaps they realised they'd dropped a bollock putting it on so early and took all the seats off sale?
Doubt it, if they were doing that they would drip release seats or blocks for sale, they have been showing sold out with no sales for days.
If my cynicism is well founded then we'll see after this week. If not then hats off to the club.
The match definitely won't sell out as there are too many tickets left in CBL3 and ESL3.
However, there definitely has been a late up take and surge in ticket sales on L1, especially in the NSL1 corner blocks, which had loads if tickets left at the Weekend. Now there are just singles scattered about. However, as with Fulham, many of the blocks were greyed out a while ago, and there could be plenty of empty single seats in those blocks, like there were for the Fulham game. On the plus side, the vast majority of fans going will be local City fans rather than tourists and day trippers, so the atmosphere and support should be very good tomorrow night.
Whether Pep made those comments about City fans on purpose to push tickets sales or inadvertently, we'll never know, but it seems to have irked City fans enough for them to buy at ticket at the last minute.
Seat planner now.
Well I remember I left buying my own seat until I read on here a topic about "Why can't I buy a Madrid ticket". I tried for myself and it turned out it was the day they went on sale to Citizens and the whole system was struggling to cope with demand. I got mine that day. It slowed down thereafter but I think it is largely sold out. They've probably got some hospitality seating.
Indeed, also in hundreds of years time Voyager(s) is set to return to our orbit.
Not if they get bricked by Liverpool fans, let's hope the ticket office at least has got its act sorted out by then.
