Must confess I got it on BM mate, where there are about 50,000 posts on this. The club only seems to be sending info via twitter, which I dont do. But this seems to have a well-hidden link:Quote:

New criteria:

Tickets for home supporters* will be available online at mcfc.co.uk/tickets, by telephone on +44 (0)161 444 1894 (option 1, option 1, option 2)** and in-person at the Etihad Stadium Ticket Office located on the first floor of the City Store, for supporters that meet the following sales criteria:

- Cityzens with a 2015/16 Seasoncard - Monday 18 April at 9am.
- Cityzens Members - Wednesday 20 April at 2pm
- Non-Cityzens Members who attended our home match against PSG - Thursday 21 April at 2pm

Not looking good so. I'd say flight tickets will have gone up by tomorrow also. Glad I didn't promise my young lad anything. Was going to surprise him.
Fair's fair though. I was thinking of going to the PSG game but it didn't work out. If the demand is there from regulars for this one then we can't complain.
Hope the atmosphere is cracking anyway.

I think where we do have cause to complain is that they decided to sell every ST holder 4, corrected to 2, tickets. So in theory they can all get an extra ticket to go to any Tom, Dick, Harry or tout, whilst other ST holders and many Cityzens undoubtedly miss out because of it.

Somebody point out the sense in that? You could have 10,000 non-City fans in there and thousands of us without tickets.

True enough John. Haven't completely given up yet. I've picked tickets up late before when it looked like a sell out. Season Ticket holders usually want to sit in a certain part of the ground. Sometimes you can pick up Family end tickets(I'll have a 13 year old with me) or if you're not fussy where you sit you can pick up singles.
Wait and see.

Just looking and I could have got two seats together for the Arsenal match instead, but we have family commitments that weekend. Pity.

Its Real Madrid or just wait until next season I'm afraid.

I have no idea what the shambles of a ticket office are up to but they have now removed the option for Season card holders to purchase a second ticket?

Talk about confusion and lack of planning and communication. Absolutely useless

Have just logged on and bought one of few remaining tickets in Colin Bell stand at the back. Two rows better than my season ticket.
Over 65 = £35
Took 14 minutes
Very happy.
Having root canal at 1300 hrs on Tuesday next so needed a distraction for later on!

Club have dropped a major bollock on this one.
Early yesterday it was 4 tickets per SC holder. By the time i was able to purchase it had been changed to 2 tickets per SC.
I bought 1 ticket each for 2 season cards (friends and family).
Then it was showing i could still buy another ticket for each card.
Logged on today to see how many tickets remaining and it now shows 0 tickets available for each SC. (So they finally corrected the issue after nearly 2 days of sales!!)
I estimate from the planner that there are about 5k seats remaining. By the time they go on sale to Cityzens it will be 2/3k max.

I didn't moan then and I'm not moaning now. had my chance for PSG, thought about it but it didn't suit family-wise. If it works out now, well and good. If not, good luck to those that do get tickets. The more regulars that get them the better, in my view.
Just like John says though. Hope it's not people buying them to sell on. Hope it's a hard core of City support getting them.

East level 2 Had a lot of PSG I am expecting the same if not worse with the Madrid game, something is wrong in our ticketing. Not sure what, I still fail to get my head atound the Scousers getting pretty much our whole CC allocation for club Wembley.
We got thousands and I did sit within 5 blocks of a blue in our own section. Next Tuesday is going to be interesting.

I've just had a text message from the club that the Cityzens window opens at 2. Maybe they are afraid it wont sell out after there's about 1000 tickets left

You couldn't make it up.

Season card holder on the cup scheme seem to have been allocated their own seat only. At a guess that seems to be over 20000 of the crowd or half the
number of season ticket holders. So the problem seem to that the system cannot deal with 20000 people using online, phone and personal visitors to the ticket office.

Why? Pop concerts sell out in a few minutes.
