By my maths we having roughly 4,500 tickets going to on general sale?

Maybe we should have a general sale area in each stand so people can sit together and we're not trying to sell of individual tickets? Although that might mean season pass holders moving.

Does anyone have information how the increase would be done? I've heard various plans over the years. Upper tier on the east stand, upper tiers on North and South, just extending the seating around the bowl.

With COC coming the City will probably be more of tourist attraction. Maybe if we increase the capacity we can sell packages to tour companies like others have said.. The club we do that if we develop the area around the stadium with a hotel complex.

But we still need to attract local people so I think if we increase the capacity we should bring prices down.
 
I know it brings in more money but I really dont like the idea of 5k away fans for the bigger games. I'd rather see a capacity increase mean we can somehow shift the away fans from behind the goal. Give them the whole lower west stand tier towards the north end or something. How big is that? I'd love to see only City behind both goals.

Why would we have to give 5000 to away fans? Arsenal has a 60000 seat stadium and only give 5% to away fans (3000)
