Call me when there mate, I'll be in nice and early and you can have a look at my tickets ...

Have you never been to Etihad before? The paper tickets have been same/similar for last few seasons now ...

And be careful it's not a trap by club's own staff or undercover police cracking down on touts ... seen clubs guide for the game for supporters? They have mentioned a whole para on touting not allowed etc which isn't there generally for any other games.

If it's printed on the front of a Ryvita cracker you actually get to play 45 minutes upfront.

Right thread this time!

Hold your tickets up to the light and check there us a watermark of Joey running through the middle of the ticket!
