I'd rather s*** in my hands and clap than renew my season ticket. No chance of a renewal here.

From what I've heard, the odds are significantly better than 12000/1

5 out of 12 games are being shifted each weekend. So I'd assume that a fair few of our games that would've otherwise been 3pm will be moved.

Hearing that we may get an announcement on this tomorrow....

This. 2 accountants who know Jack about football. Clueless the pair of them

Lansclown out signs, followed by paper planes on the pitch!!

My hopes were raised too!

You can add Gavin Marshall to that too. Clueless

Constructive response.

Around 2600

That should shift another couple of hundred tickets!!!

Yep it's just over 2500 so far

Over 2500 going so should be a good atmosphere...

From City's POV, they want to sell every seat they can their end. Only once all seats are sold is it worth turning on ticket resale. It's not viable until a game is sold out. The difference with the "big" clubs is that their games are sold out weeks in advance. Demand is high and by utilising ticket buy back / resale, they can fill empty seats and ST holders can get a bit of money back if they're not going. However, we aren't at a stage where we're selling out a long time in advance. On the rare occasion we sell out a league game, it's maybe a day or two in advance. The cost of utilising this option isn't worth it so close to a fixture. Like I say though, if we ever got to the PL, and games were sold out well in advance, which they would be, I have no doubt this would be utilised as the demand would be there for it. As it stands, selling out 1 day before a fixture once or twice a season doesn't make it a viable option.

Yes, City use the same ticketing sales platform as Newcastle, Man C, Liverpool etc. The option to resell tickets is used by these clubs, but obviously the demand is there for them, whereas it's not yet there for us.

I'd say there's a very strong chance this will be cancelled. Sales are dire. They saw the pound signs, thinking they could cut out the promoter and do it themselves. They forgot one important thing....the quality of the line up!! Did they genuinely think Ne-Yo and Craig David were going to shift 25-30000 tickets?! Laughable tbh

As mentioned previously, this option is available and if demand is consistently there, the club will utilise it. At the moment, the demand isn't nearly consistent enough to warrant it I'm afraid.

Exactly this. The ability to turn on resale for fans that can't attend a fixture is there. But there needs to be consistent demand for it. If we ever get to the PL, it'll be turned on, as games will sell out far in advance. At the moment, games aren't selling out far enough in advance, or consistently enough, to warrant turning this on.

There will be plenty available tomorrow morning for members, and there'll be availability when it comes to general sale also. The requirement of 5+ for a 4hr window was presumably done to ensure those that have been to more away games had first shout. When it comes to Plymouth, the small allocations means the priority window is more likely to be around 10+ away games.

All true. There is a little more to it than this though. Home teams wants to maximize revenue from these FA Cup games. For this reason, bigger allocation offers often come with T&C's attached. For example, WHU offered City multiple different allocation sizes, the lower end ones coming without any conditions attached. However, the 9k allocation offer, which they were obliged to make, came with the condition that any unsold seats would need to be paid for by City. (Yes, clubs can do this). This is because it meant moving thousands of their ST holders, and because they were confident they could shift the tickets their end. Therefore, clubs have to choose their allocation carefully. In this case, it was a no brainer - a new stadium for most, top end PL club with recent European success, easy (ish) location, pretty convenient KO time, very cheap tickets, etc. In the case of Forest, it's not so cut and dried that we'll take a huge following up there. We've played them a fair amount in recent years, it's a reasonably long trek for a midweek game, the opponents in any potential next round are unknown, ticket prices might not be as cheap (they are not obliged to match our pricing) etc etc. So, it's not just a case of it's the FA Cup, we must accept 15%. There are lots of other factors that come into play.

Allocation will be around 2800.

Wednesday 7th is the pencilled in date.

Reprints will be available to collect at West Ham. If you selected Post and they haven't arrived by now, call the club. You'll get put on a reprint list to collect at WHU on Sunday

Agreed. They should open the Ticket Office 24 hours a day shouldn't they! At least
