NICK07 1 Posted August 19, 2019 I tried to get tickets this morning for Manchester City, but sadly no joy. i did manage to get 1 ticket in my basket, but sadly that's no good when you are trying to get 2 tickets for the match. Anyway from the experience of the sales for the Newcastle and Chelsea matches, is there any chance of tickets popping up for sale at a later date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,562 Posted August 19, 2019 For home games I think there is due to the buy back scheme. What level of membership do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also online basket will empty after 15 minutes I think so you may get some coming back available in a few minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woodlands4 0 Posted August 19, 2019 I had 3 tickets in my basket, but went to pay and the screen chucked me out due to being on the website over 30 minutes! How can that be right. My 3 x £50 membership looking very good value!!! I’m sure one year ( a few promotions ago) we were guaranteed a grade 1, 2 & 3 match, so at least we could go to 3 home matches. It’s the frustration that get you. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted August 19, 2019 Think it’s just going to be one of those things this year - I’ve got my own s/t but my 12 year-old has his membership so will go when possible. I was lucky and sailed through without even queuing last time but had to wait 35mins today, then there was v little left and whenever I clicked a block whatever had been there seemed to have gone....c’est la vie, I guess it’s keep an eye out for returns (Man C are unlikely to give any back, either).

Woodlands4 0 Posted August 19, 2019 I think you’re right BP, but very frustrating trying to get tickets for kids (and a big kid😉) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,562 Posted August 19, 2019 Without meaning to cover old ground it is just a bad system. It also hugely benefits people with desk jobs who can be online/by a phone at 9am morning of the tickets going on sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodlands4 0 Posted August 19, 2019 Currently in Cyprus and even being 2 hours in front didn’t help! Still, 3 points in the bag this weekend has certainly helped the mood, especially with a Villa fan next door 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also hugely benefits people with desk jobs who can be online/by a phone at 9am morning of the tickets going on sale. I've got an office job, but it didn't do me any favours. I've got a season ticket, but my Dad who lives a few hundred miles away has a membership so tries to get back to games and to make a weekend of it, so I can conveniently order tickets at my desk. Same as another poster in that on my previous attempt this season (Newcastle), I only had 2-3 minutes queue when logging on at 9.02am - this despite people logging on at/before 9am joining longer queues and being greeted with sold out messages. This time I logged on before 9am, joined a queue which was 45 minutes, was shown limited availability in 3 blocks (1 CIty Stand, 1 South Stand and 1 Community Stand), but when clicking there were none left. The point you join the queue appears to be entirely random. Edited August 19, 2019 by CaptCanary typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
