Season Ticket Sales

[Wonderwall]

Most of the season ticket holders do turn up most weeks imo though. Some games we have a mass 'can't be arsed' but the majority are there apart from a small number of those who live far away &, imo, a bunch of so called season ticket seats which have been bought by proxy, by ticket touts.

I think another problem at City, is the fact that the ground is more spacious, & the seat colour shows up particularly well on tv. There are often loads of empty seats at the swamp or Emirates, but you can only see them on closeup. From the normal tv view, they just look like more wankers with red shirts on.

I believe the club have had internal discussions regarding this specific problem, I'm sure it was estimated by the club that some 10% of season ticket holders don't actually go to the games.

I admit to being one of them, but my ticket got used nearly every week the first year I was away, then my mates dad took it up cos he couldn't get a senior citizen ticket in our block.

I'll keep it as long as he wants it,and it serves my purpose if Me or a mate ever needs it for a European away game - because of the points it would be stupid to give it up. But I think amongst my group of 4 or 5 mates, there's always at least 1 ticket going spare most weeks, and it's surprisingly hard to give it away.

I admit in advance to being one of these "problem" supporters. I've got a couple of season tickets this season because I want a guaranteed ticket with no fannying around involved for when I can get back and get to games.

I can afford it fortunately but I am also doing everything I can to ensure the seats are always used. Also - I considerately got them in 93:10 so as not to ruin any pockets of weekly supporters by my empty seats if that happens.

And - if anyone on here does ever want to use them just shout

Are you 10 seconds ahead of everyone else Ant?

I've shifted to the new tier this season in order to save a few quid, don't post all that much on the site but just wanted to doff my cap to those who can't make the game but more than happy to sort out for a fellow blue. Just reiterates that we truly have the best fans in the land (and all the world) stay classy folks
