What are the prices and ticket allocations?
Ticket pricing for the away section has been confirmed. The club has received an initial allocation of 3,000 tickets for the South Stand of the Etihad Stadium. A further allocation may be made available subject to demand and safety approval from Manchester City and the local authorities.
All tickets will be issued as print-at-home PDFs or mobile tickets. No physical tickets will be posted for this match. Supporters must ensure the name on the ticket matches the individual attending, as ID checks may be enforced at the turnstiles.
How does this match fit into the current season?
This daunting away trip comes at a testing time for Ipswich. The team is currently six points behind Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the title race. Following the City game, the Blues face another away trip to Selhurst Park to play Crystal Palace on 12 September. Palace are one place above Ipswich in 13th, setting up a vital early-season clash.
The squad will be without several key players for the foreseeable future. Midfielders Azor Matusiwa and Jack Taylor remain sidelined, as does attacker Jaden Philogene-Bidace. Their absence is a blow for a team looking to improve a -4 goal difference. Fans can monitor the latest player availability on the club's injuries page.
Supporters traveling to Manchester are advised to plan their journeys in advance, considering potential rail engineering works and increased traffic. The club will provide a full travel guide for away fans closer to the match date. The next home game after this difficult away double-header is against Aston Villa on 19 September.
