I don't believe that there is any delay in announcing the details The last round it took nearly two weeks for pricing etc to come out, it makes perfect sense that the club deal with sales etc AFTER the Cardiff game during the international break The club and those associated with it announced ticket details would be announced this week. Fullyly agree it makes sense to delay until Monday. However I had expected ticket prices and sales process to be announced this week to iron out any issues and announce at the ground before/during half-time of the Cardiff game so sales can commence early next week.

Monkeh Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 11 minutes ago, Bar BS3 said: Neither. Think about what’s being claimed. It’s either a complete fabrication or a complete misunderstanding. Either way, it’s completely not going to happen! It will be standard “gold” category pricing. Anything less than that, then full credit to City for not maximising profit and Utd for agreeing it. why would some one in the club shop know whats being negotiated at board level on ticket prices, that should be your first clue thats its bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 5 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: Presumably they could suggest any price they fancied. The rules say that the two teams must "mutually agree". If they can't then the board of the EFL will settle it. I couldn't see anything in the Rules about respecting a club's normal pricing structure. You are right that it would seem odd of us to accept a price greater than our normal POTD pricing. Personally I suspect this is a storm in a tea cup and that we will in due course get some sensible answers. I didn't go to Palace - what did we charge for that game? PS to think that Fulham away last year in the cup was only £11 or something If we agree to charge £50 for my season ticket seat in the Dolman, then someone else can have my ticket, on principle. They won’t. Someone is talking Shite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'm struggling to believe United are really quibbling over what amounts to nothing more than petty cash for them. We're talking about a club competing in the Premier League and Champions League with a massive global presence. It just doesn't ring true. And is a member of the shop staff really going to privy to such information? My expectation is they the club will honour their published matchday prices for this season and charge gold prices.

Why would some bod working behind the till in the club shop be privy to financial negotiations between our board and Manchester United’s, before they’ve even come to an agreeable conclusion themselves..?! It's a bit of a specific rumour for it to be false. What benefit would there be for Redmycolour to lie? I don't think it's a totally unrealistic scenario either.

People will talk at the club and rumours spread... Saying that.. had a look at Redmycolour's posts and found this from the other day re: ticket pricing Quote Don't pay it, stay away then,we're 4th in league and people moaning about £30-40.Then get a season ticket, Maybe trying to cause a scene on here given his stance on ticket prices.

Natchfever Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Could be a disagreement over the number of seats to be allocated to Man U with OB sticking their nose in to prevent part of the Atyeo being handed over to home fans - as it should be.

It never ceases to amaze me when I see rival fans at Premier league games separated by a few feet whereas at AG it was yards. The more fans they have in the ground the better their support will be.

RedM Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Is it 4000 roughly in the Atyeo if only away fans? So I think it's 10% a club has to give for cup matches, FA at least so 10% of 27,000 is 2700. Add in 300 for segregation and we have gained 1000 ish seats to sell to City fans? Is that the thinking? No doubt it's probably more than 300 we have to give up, and ManU will want the whole end as they could sell them, but so could we. Perhaps we should do a Fulham and have a neutral bit as I'm sure all the people who have been begging for tickets since this has been announced have never been to a match in their life. Suddenly ManU appear and they are Superfans. Sickens me, hope we knock them out...and ManU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 The club could charge £50 per ticket and still fill the ground. Would piss the fans off a bit though. More likely around the £30 mark. Would like MU to get 3700 tickets as i hate seeing empty seats in the Atyeo. Offers up to £200 for any spares going around.
