The presale window for tickets to the International Champions Cup tournament which features City, AS Roma and Real Madrid is now open.
From now until Monday 22 December at 9am (Melbourne time), tickets can be obtained here, using the special password for City fans, which is “City” (not case sensitive).
In case you missed the announcement, the tournament, presented by Audi, will feature the following games at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
City v AS Roma: 21 July 2015
City v Real Madrid: 24 July 2015
This major international event is expected to bring football and sporting enthusiasts from all around Australia and the Asia-Pacific region to Melbourne for the events, and will be broadcast to more than 150 countries.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini expressed his excitement about the trip at a press conference, declaring: “I think it is important for this Club to go to Australia.
“Firstly, because we have a sister club there and I think is a country where they like football and to play with teams like Real Madrid there is very important.
We are also going to make our training camp there. It is not that we are going to fly 12 hours to play a game. We are going to stay few days there so the distance is not a problem.
Ferran Soriano, Chief Executive of Manchester City FC, echoed: “We are looking forward, once again, to being a part of the ICC.
“We are particularly excited to be visiting Melbourne, which is home to our sister Club, Melbourne City FC. We know that it will also be a home away from home for Manchester City and we can’t wait to play in front of our Australian fans.”
