MANCHESTER City have sold out their season ticket allocation for the last season at Maine Road and the first in the new City of Manchester Stadium.

Such has been the huge demand that the Blues are considering making more available for the new stadium.

City have sold out all the 24,000 they can for the 34,000-capacity Maine Road and have a waiting list of 14,000.

Chairman David Bernstein has been overwhelmed by the response for season tickets and says there is no other club in the country experiencing such fever.

He believes the unprecedented demand has been sparked by manager Kevin Keegan and his exciting style of football.

"We have a waiting list of 14,000 at the moment which is quite incredible. I speak to other clubs and I don't know of any other club which has a situation like ours," he said on the club's website.

"As always it is a reflection of our fantastic fan base and now that we are giving them a lot of excitement and something to look forward to.

"The Kevin Keegan factor, the brand of football which we have been playing and the players who we have signed in the close season have all created a great deal of excitement and contributed to the rush for season tickets.

"We have sold out our 24,000 season tickets for next season and have sold a further 20,000 for the new stadium.

"We are considering a further offering of season tickets before the end of the year for the new stadium and if we do that I suspect we will sell out our allocation of season tickets before we get to next spring.

"We are looking at 35,000 season tickets for the new stadium but, as at Maine Road, we will put a cap on that number so that other supporters who don't want to buy season tickets or can't afford them can come in on a match to match basis."
