Oh wait, we don’t have to imagine! Out of interest what software are we using for ticketing, just seems a lot of money for something that I would think you could buy of the shelf.

Monkeh Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 so much drama over people who have 7 days to buy a ticket and can't read on screen instructions, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they are on hold from the bank, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling it at cost to a city supporter would be one thing (although not the day they go on sale), but this is just extortion. Cancel the ticket(s) and resale them.

Advertising a ticket for sale at £150 doesn't necessarily mean there's a market for it at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure. At the end of the day no one actually bought that eBay ticket. I think most people willing to spend that sort of money will have worked out that there are legitimate ways to get themselves a ticket - half season tickets, membership plus four tickets, etc. But I do accept there might be a few idiots with more money than sense!

This is absolutely true. It is not beyond journalists to list tickets on resale sites at extortionate prices to create a story. You may of read that Adele tickets were once selling online in the region of £20K each. They weren't but a journalist had listed them on GMI and Stubhub at those prices- next thing it is all the papers that Adele had failed to beat the touts (something she had promised to do) and that secondary sales sites were the devil reincarnated. Likewise touts have been known to list tickets at extortionate prices to create a buzz whilst creating a fake market price. For instance post a ticket online for £150 then people think they are getting a bargain when they see one for £75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it's perfect and couldn't be improved in some ways, but by no means useless as some have suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sensible to avoid the mad rush in the first hour(s) as City’s website always manages to have a new bug on day one of sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Could anyone give us an idea of how the ticket sales are going for the next few league games where a lot of people must be buying up tickets to ensure their priority for Manchester tickets. We should be in for a few more 20k plus gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operator said rest would be open if demand. Think you can also get an idea on the ticket website by seeing what's left for each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Only seem to be about 3000 left for the preston game. What sort of gate might that lead to allowing that the upper tier is not yet available, any wasted space in the away end (preston wont bring too many) and the fact that it will be POTD)?

Add 200-300 I’d guess for away fans, plus whatever else sells between now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted November 14, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Has anyone read how Utd fans qualify for their own tickets? Was intrigued how some of their games seem to go to a ballot to get a ticket?
