I managed to book 4 tickets (as individual tix: 2 x adult + 2 x Junior), because I couldn't work out how to book them as part of my family membership; the dropdown next to 'family' was '0' for all four codes farken. So I ended up paying $300+ instead of $225. Now I'm going to have to email the club and ask for a refund of the difference!

The options map back to your barcodes - so if you have 4 members in the family, you would have options for 1 ticket for each of adult, junior, etc... Not family. Let me know how you go, I suspect it would be the same for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what they are doing at the Euros now as well. The whole stadium will be used and everybody spread out.

jw1739 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Usually we don't have much lunch and so we eat early in the evening, but today we had something in the middle of the day and dinner was late. That's the only reason why I saw the email in time to let the rest of the gang know about the "window." After dinner I changed my mind about going and was able to obtain good tickets at the back at the Northern End with 20 minutes or so to spare. So we're in after all! Really though, two and a half hours isn't a lot of time to stuff around with the Ticketek website. Would it have killed ticket sales to give City members until 8.00 am tomorrow? I don't think so. Incidentally, FWIW our Pax numbers in the 4,800s. Edited June 23, 2021 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PAX was 34 for what it's worth, I absolutely sped through Ticketek on my work break in pure fear I'd miss out but those fears were evidently misplaced lol. Just so stoked we're able to host this.

Tony999 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Since I have nothing better to do at work I decided to count all the available seats. It did my head in but I'd say it's almost accurate: 2119 seats left for MCFC fans and 467 available seats left for the away bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people have lost jobs, or lost part of their wages and /or other income during the pandemic, and have to think at least twice before hitting "pay now." I had decided to give it a miss but then got caught up in the last-minute hype, but I winced when I saw the total cost. Politicians like to make big-picture grandiose statements about the overall "economy." In reality there are a lot of "individual economies" that don't look all that healthy. I think a secondary issue is that football fans remain divided over the significance of "finals" and those that bother to see the new qualification criteria for the ACL know that winning the GF doesn't lead anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some valid points. Regardless, I'm hoping it will sell out eventually. My guess is the away bay will not sellout or even close to a sellout with what's happening now in NSW with the covid cases.

With distance spacing between rows and seats they will have to open the upper level. "Sell-outs" are almost never such, unless all that's counted is the number of tickets sold. There are always last-minute no-shows. I would be surprised if we get in excess of 13,000, simply because even last night there were odd seats scattered through the sections that I looked at. So if you're looking for a single seat you will be OK, but if you're looking for three or four you won't be keen on splitting up at these prices. To reach 14,700 and be COVID-safe it is necessary for the whole stadium to be open. Anything else will make a mockery of the restriction. During the regular season I could see no attempt at spacing between rows whatsoever, and the "Covid marshals" were the most idle group of people I've ever seen.
