Regards tickets to this game. I seem to recall that priority would be given to those 3,000 odd that attended the Burton Albion home cup game, and have the green reciept to prove it.
Anyhow season ticket holders need not worry as they have first refusal.
Anyone who turns up to the next few home games will no doubt be guaranteed tickets too so you need not worry, unless you don't actually attend games and Arsenal will be the first.

have a cut off date for season and flexi tickets, then just put them on general sale for the same £20, all this suggestion of collecting vouchers is rubbish, welcome everybody down to VP to watch because afterall making the ticket process any more complicated might just persuade people to stay in the pub and watch on sky. Arsenal or not the main aim should be to fill 25000 seats on a Tuesday night . it will still take a reasonable price to do this, thats the reason wigan sold for £10.
afterall, "its only the cup, who gives a f**k were super city and were going up!" win or loose were in the money!

Season Ticket and 50/50s will ALL get tickets. That still leaves 15k to 16k to fight for the rest; including away fans. If you are not a season ticket or 50/50 holder then to be honest; i don't care of you don't get a ticket.
Those coming out of the woodwork because we have an attractive fixture deserve no priority. Those who support regularly will get a ticket anyway.

Now we know the exact date of the game, let's get the tickets printed for the S/t & flexi holders and get them out of the way. all those others who normally pay on the day, want to see the Arsenal game must attend those 2 games to receive a voucher which gets you a ticket for the Arsenal game. It's ok jumping up and down and saying that it's big mony for the club for that night. What about big money for the league games. We could easily get 15-16k for those two games and that will also help city with their promotion push.

Chances are if you were an ST holder that long you'll be on a database/mailing list - I assume BCFC will do like Wigan did and use a database to make sure non-regulars who want to come are at least BCFC fans of some sort and not armchair Arsenal fans.

another 15000 to sell, you suggest that we charge the floaters, current, old, new fans £40 quid and then £20 to watch Arsenal ( because thats the team they want to watch) £60, get real, i would just watch it on sky and think sod it!
Its worse than wigan's half empty effort. If people want to watch the local team and Arsenal that they see on TV every week, let them, take there £20 quid and laugh all the way to the bank, sell them pies, beer programmes , tacky one off scarfs and who knows, they might come back or keep going, your suggestion prices kids and family's out that could be future fans.

I said yesterday anything to get bums on seats on the lead up to the game is just as important as the game itself.

Say Arsenal are given 3000, picking a figure out of thin air.
That leaves 14,000 tickets.
There's enough for everyone. Calm down. Don't panic. Get a grip.
Pricing. £20 all day long. QF of the cup. Worth £20. If you don't like it don't come.
City fans have been spoilt of late with cheap tickets. Get your short arms in your deep pockets for once !

By that I mean Leeds. On the BCFC Facebook page there are a couple of people seemingly posing as City fans but are obviously Leeds fans when you look at their profiles. One of them has photos of himself at away game with a load of thuggish looking mates.
Do Leeds thugs have a rivalry with Arsenal? I don't know. But its not unheard of for different fans altogether to try and get tickets for games with ulterior motives.
And as for Arsenal fans in the home ends, I remember when Man United scored at VP and some of their fans made themselves known in them Kop, resulting in them getting smacked by a few people. Anyone who gets in with the other fans when they shouldn't may risk their own safety.

Season ticket & Flexicard holders in the Kop & Main stand should be able to reserve their own seats for the Arsenal match like we used to do for big cup games on the past. Only one ticket per season ticket/Flexicard.
Besides, those talking about the Wigan game and those who went; I was surrounded by Arsenal fans at the DW! Not sure if they were students in Bradford or just friends of City fans but when one of them said; who is the number 23 then I suspected that he wasn't a true City fan!!

Anything above 18,000 would surprise me.
A draw, and a big gate at the Emirates would be the icing on the cake.

I also think, that the match will NOT be a sell-out if the game is on TV (probably on a cold, potentially wet windy night a fortnight before Christmas!)
Yes, perhaps City WANT that TV money, but any money coming from Murdoch enterprises is 'tainted' as everything is that has come in contact with 'the dirty digger!'
On the subject of WHO SHOULD GET FIRST CHANCE AT TICKETS-it's simple! ie those who go to ALL home games each season, paying a large amont of cash up front (the season ticket holders) After that, it should be 'first come first served'!

What a set of worriers and whiners. Simply 8000 tickets or so will be sold to ST and FC holders. The bread and butter.
Say Arsenal are given 3000, picking a figure out of thin air.
That leaves 14,000 tickets.
There's enough for everyone. Calm down. Don't panic. Get a grip.
Pricing. £20 all day long. QF of the cup. Worth £20. If you don't like it don't come.
City fans have been spoilt of late with cheap tickets. Get your short arms in your deep pockets for once !

£20 seems fair, and all i'll do is wait until the week before and take my chances at the ticket office.
would be great to see city dump the arsenal out!

I have a fifty fifty mainly because I missed so many games last season due to work commitments holiday cover etc. Previously I have bought my season ticket along with everyone else. I thought if I make every game the club makes an extra eighty notes from me and I wasn't bothered but if I miss a few I'll end up paying the same as you and the others season ticket holders so the club is in win win.

so far this season I have missed two games but passed my fifty fifty to other family members so the club are on course to claim the max 280. So as i have been to all cup ties as well as the club getting more money from me than season ticket holders why do you think i should get in line with the real plastic fans.

City fan or not i wouldn't be travelling down to chelsea or Arsenal on a Tuesday night, wouldn't afford the time off work, Money, would kick back and watch it on sky, all this arguing about who is the better supporter is a load of shyte! decent prices is whats needed as an average person in this day and age would struggle to budget for axtra games like this, especially with kids and family, If we start picking and choosing our fans we will end up going the way the bulls have.
I am a city fan but if there is a good game on elsewhere and city are away i sometimes watch guiseley , thackley anywhere with a good value day out.
also tickets for Man City and wigan are below £25 quid for most premier league games, they offer good football on a budget.

I don't recall us ever selling out the stadium since it was finally redeveloped.
As you say, approximately 14,000 spare tickets for a midweek game, to be televised, in December of all months.
Anything above 18,000 would surprise me.
A draw, and a big gate at the Emirates would be the icing on the cake.
No replays all a draw will do is force penalties.

Never been to VP but my 8 year old boy is an Arsenal fan so I will be making the long trip from Queensbury to watch the game
