1. historically you are right in that demand > supply. recently this has proven not to be the case with tickets going on general sale (and not selling out).

2. re: location – you are incorrect. call the club, tell them you’re not renewing unless you can move and hey presto, you’ll move!

3. i think you mean the automatic cup scheme. this also included carling cup tickets.

4. if you want to sell your ticket for a single game that is easily done via informal channels – friends of friends or fan messageboards.

the sheer cost, and rise in cost is what has driven the ‘regulars’ away. this cost has come solely from the glazer’s leveraged take-over that imposed swinging levels of debt. that and the sanitized corporate experience, lack of ability to sit / stand with mates, influx of middle-class nu-footy muppets, robocop stewards and the general death of the match day experience.
