I couldn't see a thread for this, but the club are offering a deal for tickets for the City v CSKA game at the Etihad.

Basically, if you buy a ticket or have already bought one, you get one free as no CSKA fans are allowed at the game, so we have the stadium to ourselves!!

Here are the details - City v CSKA ticket deal

That's a great offer on behalf of the club.No excuses not to have a full house.

Will this apply to cup scheme members?

Doubt it.

Doubt it.

Apparently we need to contact the ticket office for our extra free tickets

Didn't we do this for that great Hamburg game that we eventually went out on?

If I remember rightly, that was £5 per ticket.

And possibly the best atmosphere I've ever seen at a home game.

Every fan, in every stand, was standing up for the whole match, singing and urging the team on. Incredible atmosphere.

It was a privilege to be at that game.

I would love if we even created half that atmosphere regularly.

Incredible night.

It was that and even at the end we were still full of beans. Hopefully this deal will bring the same atmosphere and it's good to see the club acknowledging that the price of football is keeping people, and the atmosphere, away from matches.

That pretty much sums up my efforts today too. Gonna email them and ask for a refund for one of my tickets seeing as I can't solve it any other way.

Took me 2 hrs 5 mins to get through. Service was spot on as soon as i managed to get someone on the other end of the phone

Yeah it took me a while to get through on the phone.

Basically, if you haven't got a ticket yet, you can ring up the ticket office and buy one and also then get your free one at the same time.

If you were on the Cup scheme and/or had already paid for a ticket and wanted to request your one free one, you need to speak to Supporter Services. So only speak to the ticket office if you actually need to buy more tickets rather than just requesting your free one.

Hope that makes sense!! As I got through to the ticket office yesterday after waiting on the phone for ages but was then told I couldn't request my free one from them as I had already paid for my ticket on the Cup Scheme and only supporter services could deal with sorting the free ticket out. Ridiculous system

THIS ^^^^ I had exactly the same pain. Follow this advice people or you will be extremely pissed off

Took 15 mins this morning on the phone to support services to get sorted with my free ticket.

Why should the fans bother when the players don't?

Buy 1 get 200 free..

Im still not interested.

Glad I e-mailed asking for a refund for one of my 2 tickets rather than getting more free ones after that farce tonight. No wish to be spending even more on tickets, food and drink for what is virtually now a dead rubber.

Guessing the phone lines won't be too busy tomorrow
