To be fair they've got it spot on, I was expecting 7-8,000 tickets to be left, this would have been disappointing and would have shown us to have a smaller fanbase than I would have expected.

It shows that there is a solid 32,000 fan base that can padded out by wives, girlfriends, husbands, boyfriends and pisshead mates!

Interesting to know what they do with the remainder. I think there should be some assistance for those elderly or who have made an oversight etc without an online account that can show some or a ticket stub in the last 3 years!

When I lived in Fallowfield you could almost see Maine Road but there were still more United than City.

Mos City fans you would meet come from places like Stockport.
When you lived in Fallowfield, almost everyone you lived near was a student so they don't count! East of Manchester was mostly City, but its very arbitrary. I've got three friends from Stockport and two are reds and one a blue.....

I think ST holder that has bought home tickets this season on their account could be a decent compromise.

Then people can get one for their mate that hasn't missed a game or child that for some reason wants to pay full price and isn't a JSB.

No they were not, there's large amounts of non students there as well. As you head west on Wilbraham Road you are skirting south moss side and 100 yards from my house was Kingsway and Burnage.

East Manchester may have been slightly more blue but North and West was very Red and South was mixed but slightly more red.

They'll ask people to submit a 2000-word essay on why they should be offered a ticket, along with a CV detailing how many times you've paid on the gate, or had your mate purchase a ticket rendering you unable to collect points.

I think a PhD thesis on the distribution of Man Utd and Man City fans in Greater Manchester is in order to settle the remaining tickets.

Either I or my girlfriend would have been your neighbour then!

Anyone had or seen any issues? Looked on the facebook group and one person got the email saying a randomer had added them to their network but managed to delete them before they bought a ticket, and another send money to someone who promptly didn't get them a ticket and pocketed the cash.

Not sure now that works as if the person had already brought a ticket there is no way the other person can get a ticket unless they qualify

It's not that exciting - a call to the AreaAvailability API that the website uses with some JQ magic to parse the JSON and sum up the AvailableSeats values

Had a quick look, and if we sold zero tickets after me typing this, there will be some blocks in the top tier with seats available right at the back. That's all there is. Shows that the club have got this about right.

Biggest issue is probably people not knowing that you can joint accounts together to buy seats next to each other. I didn't know you could do that! Otherwise, everyone's had a chance to get one in a fair order.
We have ours linked and have never had a problem for away games, but Ticketmaster blocking accounts on laptops meant had to order via a phone and it would only allow 1 ticket

It's not that exciting - it's a bash command to cURL to the AreaAvailability API that the website uses with some JQ magic to parse the JSON and sum up the AvailableSeats values. Currently 1296 available.

That's some top dot counting, great effort. 🏆

Ha yes - you can try running this in the console:

$("div#map-container svg g .available").length

Or add a little bookmarklet:

javascript:alert($("div#map-container svg g.available").length + ' of ' + $("div#map-container svg g").length + ' available')

🤓

EDIT: It's complicated though because the seats are rendered in a lazy fashion, so you have to zoom in and make sure you force it to render every section of the map before all the dots will be rendered to get the full count.
