I know it's months ahead and many have just coughed up for City (or other) season tickets but I'm surprised how many didn't take up their renewals. 1000's of seats available right across the stadium. Moved from Ninian to the Canton for the next one.

Probably. Although i am sure sales will pick up, it seems to be one or the other, Wales or City and not both.Quote:

Call it fickle fairweather fans, plastics, glory hunters or whatever, people want entertainment, e.g. Ed Sheeron.
Another thing, are people that bothered going to see the game live when the big crowd experience on a big screen with beers is available?
The campaign ticket covers the Nations League games against Ireland & Denmark as well as the Euros, we'll have only played 4 league games by then. A clever ploy by the FAW to get money in the back 9 months before the Euro Qualifying begins.Quote:

Never mind I'll just renew and move to cheaper seats.
I guess there are many (like me) who would happily buy a "campaign ticket" for the Euro qualifiers but have no enthusiasm for the Nations League thingy. The situation isn't helped by us drawing RoI - they'd have to pay me to get me to watch them again!
I am glad we have drawn them, we owe them one big time. Also it will be a good measuring stick for us in terms of how much we have progressed under Giggs. We have really struggled against teams like Ireland in the last 4 years and we need to put that right if we want to qualify for more tourno's.
Completely forgot to renew mine
Remember to add the cost of the Spain friendly ticket at the Principality Stadium to your campaign ticket.
They may downsize and play at Jenner Park .
Me too. I presume we can renew nearer the time?Quote:

Stage 1 - RENEWALS Opens Thursday 17th May (10am) and closes Thursday 14th June (5pm)
Previous tournament ticket holders will be able to renew their seats or select an alternative. Seats will be reserved until 5pm on Thursday 14th June only. Members who did not purchase the last tournament ticket will be able to buy any available seat as a Campaign Ticket.
Stage 2 - RED WALL MEMBERS Opens Monday 18th June 2018 (10am)
Any reserved seats which have not been purchased by 5pm on 14th June will be available for all members to purchase as a Campaign Ticket.
Stage 3 - OPEN SEASON From Friday 29th June 2018 (10am)
Campaign Ticket availability will be reduced as we prepare for the individual matches to go on sale. Campaign Tickets will remain on sale while seats are available but members are advised to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
I haven't renewed my tournament tickets for two reasons:
1) I just didn't enjoy watching games up in the Red Elephant Stand. It lacked atmosphere even at the best of times.
2) I don't have any interest at all in this Nations League nonsense.
It’s hardly going to be a “red elephant” stand for the coming season.Quote:

It’s messy but it’s really replacing friendlies and I think it will provide the winners of each Nations League with a place in the Euros. There are four Leagues A,B,C and D. The winners of each will qualify for the finals. It means that a really weak team in D will make the finals. It’s bizarre.Quote:

More competitive friendlies, organised friendlies sound good - even if we have not had the best draw.
Please do get a campaign ticket though, plenty of positive things to come and you can see how positivity built from Bosnia game onwards where we fought to the end. Nothing worse than empty seats.
Firstly we play Ireland and Denmark home and away this autumn. If we come top we’re in the Nations league finals (to be played after the normal qualifiers)Quote:

Then it’s the Nations league finals. We play the other three top teams from group B (let’s say Austria, Sweden and Slovakia) in two semis and a final. The winner qualifies for 2020.
It’s better than friendlies of course but there is the obvious problem that, if we win our group we also get promoted to group A, making it much harder to qualify for subsequent tournaments through this route.
Dont let the truth get in the way, you knows the rules :thumbup:Quote:
