Away tickets

[Tim of the Oak]

Or you could just wait until the corporates get their allocation and sell them on here if you're looking for one?

These Corporates come out with some far fetched reasons why they have got spare tickets!

does nobody realise if we didn't have corporate customers we would not be able to buy the likes of KDB? they are essential to the project.

Yep. Corporates should be taken out of the away ticket conversation. Way of the world and it's not going to change!

Thier alloaction will change, they only used to get 5%. They will only get more in the future with the North Stand expansion, and will have City Matters as the scape goat.

I think if I was spending £20k a year on a box or whatever I wouldn’t want to hear that!

Do you think the people who spend £20k and a box want to mix with the hoi paloi

Some buy tickets to pass on and make some of that 20k back

And, as usual, the people with the power and the money get the proles to argue amongst themselves so they don’t focus on them and how what they’re doing.

I'd still rather see a corporate season ticket holder at an away game rather than Thor and Knobrot who were at Anfield this year.

The issue with corporate will always be whether they are cashing in on resale sites. I'm not convinced. I'm convinced City are syphoning some tickets out and putting them on there. Nothing will change my mind on that

Sad way of the world. Money talks in everything. I wish we could change it but we know where the clubs priorities lie and it's not with those spending "just" £700 a year on a Seasoncard

It's always been the way. They have to entice people to go corporate in some way.

Same with points to some degree. If you can afford a season ticket you get extra points. If you can afford the time and money to do every away, you will end up with more points than those that can't afford it.

That's why I am in favour of SCs and other sources being allocated tickets. It gives most people the opportunity to get a ticket from somewhere. If it was points only, then it would pretty much be a closed shop.

Most supporters clubs are closed shops!

I think you could be right, or it could be the corporate recycling them

We'll never find out the 100% truth as the club has no appetite to disclose that

Well we know that at least 1,800 ( 60% of 3,003) have over 17,500 points, would be good if the Club were more transparent on this, even if it were just 1,000 have over 22k, next 1,000 over 18k etc; that way we'd know where we stand and a better likelihood of whether getting tickets or not!

Doesn’t the club release the tickets for seasoncard holders last? That way, they could easily manipulate the numbers. Can’t see them ever being transparent with numbers in different ranges of points or how many 18-25s already are qualifying on their points without the need for an additional leg up.

Celtic with collection and ID in the rain sold out at 13,250.
That was more than two years ago. Hardly a comparison for Spurs without adding points inflation at approximately 2000 points per year minimum, ie this year I’ve already acquired another 2500 points without the two remaining cup schemes.
Therefore Spurs should have sold out at a minimum of 17,500 with ID. Amazingly it sold out at at 17,500 without ID.

Two tickets for sale in the Spurs thread have come from the corporate allocation following their ballot. Clearly someone asked for more than they needed.

Would be nice if they offered them to the people who posted first rather than last

And if we're not for the likes of me and you and many thousands of City supporters of a certain age there would be no club for the corporates.

The City you and i grew up with went out of business years ago.
This is a totally different animal.

I’m expecting the Budgie’s got diorrhea to appear in the next list of reasons / excuses

Or a driving theory test? 1200 city games for me and 30 grand a year on a table. 35 years and probably missed 15 home games in all that time. I have no shame in getting tickets. City is pretty much the biggest thing in my life apart from my kids. Typing this just going through Euston ready for tommorow.

I ended up with one spare for spurs and have given it to a hardcore fan off here. I never charge for tickets I give away on here so anyone having a go. Well I couldn’t really give a fuck.

Anyone know where I can get a pizza near Euston?

There would have been no animal because there was very nearly no club

Tough though isn't it especially when it appears so many sell them on. Why should someone who is wealthy jump the queue?

Platinum is just the same principle
