What's with all the ticket giveaways?

Tonight's match, what's with everyone giving up/selling/giving away tickets? Just curious. If I could get there in 3 hrs I would snap one up.

Weather? Lack of caring anymore about this season? Something else bigger/better going on in town? Haven't seen as many people selling/giving up tickets like this before.

Its a fuckin sham, as my username suggests I live in Newcastle now but Id be at the Etihad in a heartbeat, the seasons not over. I watch City on TV these days but the amount of empty seats is ridiculous.

Sorry guys, I had two tickets for the game for me and my son that came through Abu Dhabi but I landed in Manchester this morning and friends at the club handing me two extra ones - I didnt want them to go to waste and because they cost me nothing I wanted to hand them to someone who wanted to go - simple as really

Maybe people just can't make it or afford the travel costs or are working during a late kick off mid week match?

Just a thought

Their loss!! They are going to miss the start of the greatest league title come back ever. Either that or another lack luster performance by a seriously out of form side. Either way, I am off to the pub and then the match to cheer on my team. COYB

If we all keep moving and/or emigrating, there will be nobody left anyway.

This is the only league game this season that hasn't sold out in advance.

With very few tickets left I'd still expect it to sell out but it's amazing the effect the end of our title dream has had on the fickle few. Still, that is a small minority and the stadium will probably be sold out for the 16th time in 16 games this season tonight.

Anyone caught moving or emigrating without permision will be charged with desertion .... they will also be fined by UEFA if they are caught doing it late too!
