Away tickets

who's going to id check the complete frauds who were in the away end the other night, and under what criteria.

Why should genuine fans be subjected to draconian measures, when the club actually facilitate United fans sitting in the City section at Old Trafford when tickets are like gold dust.

If the club shaft the real supporters, it would be nice to see some boycotts of some of the shitty away days, where there is no frauds, and little demand from those who cannot be arsed. I can guarantee the stance would soon alter when there are only a few hundred at places like swansea, newcastle on a midweek night.

Brighton away will be full of complete randoms for certain.

But how draconian is it for a City official to be stood near the turnstiles at an away ground and do a quick check as we go in?

I have my match ticket in hand and I have my season ticket and photo ID licence in my wallet.

I wouldn't be inconvenienced much, if at all, and it would eliminate the 'points whore' problem.
 
Can some categorically answer these questions with 100% accuracy as nobody seems to know the truth:

2. Do all 93.20, Joes etc automatically receive away tickets if they ask for them and how many?
They have to apply, with their chances of getting a ticket depending on the size of allocation. If I am correct, they can apply for two tickets each. I believe the corporate section received 450 tickets for Brighton, for example. I have also heard that they received 1,100 requests at the same time.

sure it will work well, think it will be really popular at places like Old Trafford while orientals on corporate are waved through to the away end holding their united merchadise.

before this season (I have been told by the guy who runs the Corporate) that no game has ever been oversubscribed. As such anybody applying for tickets through Corporate were always able to get them. Whether Brighton is oversubscribed I couldn't say, but if ever a game was it would be this one

Spurs was over subscribed and went to a ballot
Brighton is oversubscribed and will be subject to a ballot as I have a relative in Joes
 
Just paid £330 using Live Football Tickets

Not a chance I'm missing the Brighton game and it's only going to get more expensive from here

Fingers crossed it's legit. I've never used them before. The site I used previously doesn't do premier league anymore

My rag acquaintances warned me years ago about this.

Eventually we will be priced out, if not for home games totally, definitely for away games.

We are arguing amongst ourselves with regards the loyalty points system. In fact that is a system we should keep - loyalty points.

If it goes to a ballot it will ruin any atmosphere we have and those with money will take over.
Post of the week.
 
1100 applications 450 tickets

Absolute farce if you break those numbers down. That means about 40% will get a ticket

Consider how many seasoncard holders want one and have 1800 tickets (if we believe the club) to go out

I'd say 30000 would want to go (taking into account what we would sell for the cup final)

That means 6% will be successful

Scandalous. In fact, disgusting

Don’t forget that some corporate customers also have the points to get them through the points system, so chances increase.
 
150 tickets to employees

Total employees (according to financial report) is 449 including players and management etc

30% chance (much higher when you think 50-60 must be there anyway either on the pitch or in the dugout, changing rooms etc)

The seasoncard rep, who won't see this as I'm blocked, should be asking about this!

Not a peep out of him on this subject in the minutes so far. He just wants to dilute it further.

And this is why the allocation of 15% is way too high. Should be 5% max with the other 10% going back into the main allocation
 
I know a couple who have used CITC and they are long term s/t holders but not enough points for some always.
We should be targeting non-blues who get tickets for away games. And targeting agencies and club employees who help them.

You probably got one of theirs at inflated prices
