You've come on to defend your mate. Of course you aren't going to criticise corporate or the fact they get 2 tickets per man when you are the beneficiary of that system

So you've peddled the line of "they're city fans too" but that wasn't my point was it

For the record I think the systems wrong and if they changed it I wouldn’t start crying if I couldn’t get a ticket anyway might see you tomorrow or at Brighton

Do you design submarines? I've always fancied one of those! PM me a price for a Nuclear one please? with the new missiles that the Russians have that cause Tsunamis?
lol

On a more serious note best not to bother mate! just find yourself under fire in this thread. I got accused of being a champagne drinking toff because I get a free programme in 93:20

You will do pal. At both. Burnley on my points, just.

Brighton through a ticket site paying 11 times the face value. Probably so one of your pals can buy champagne at Leicester home game
 
My mates company have 4 corporate seats they applied for 4 got 2

The local supporters club applied for 34 tickets reckon they will get 3

In the season before we won the title under Mancini there would only be 2 or 3 applying through the supporters club and they’d get them every time.

I don’t think it’s a massive problem, it’s just that this game is at a small ground where we could potentially win the title

Of course it’s going to be oversubscribed
 
We should go back to the good old days. I queued outside Maine Road at 4AM on a Saturday morning waiting for the ticket office to open at 9-30AM for my Halifax away ticket. Used to regularly queue from silly o'clock for Derby tickets.

Points don't matter then, if you want the ticket you get your arse down there with your tinnies and hope you are near the front of the queue.

You lot today have it to fucking easy, marding about points and stuff. Buying online and all that shit, if you were proper fans you would be prepared to sit outside the Etihad all night for a Brighton ticket, I know I would.

Good shout mate
 
Yesterday I was offered 10 tickets for Burnley at £100 a ticket

I was told that Citys ticket office is the best for touts, the staff are more than willing to sell

£75 was paid in the end, make of that what you will

The point is it's not a small ground, we were given almost 3,000 tickets. There's 60% 1,800 supposedly available through the Loyalty Point system, do we really have that many on over 19,500 points?!

Spoke to a Watford fan yesterday and we were talking about the Wembley tickets and how they distribute tickets. They know exactly how many people fall within each category as Watford are transparent

There’s absolutely no reason why the club wouldn’t do this. Other than a shed load of people deciding against going platinum which could possibly curtail the upward spiral on some pricks graph.
 
what has been obvious in the last few weeks, has been the number of tickets that have been creamed off, except for the awkward trip to Palace, i have a friend who normally secures a ticket easily when its a 3000 allocation, all of a sudden he is missing the cut off.

Unless it proves there aren't 1800 over 19500 points and then blows the whole "60%" myth

My own opinion is that we probably do have close to that over 20k but a large proportion will be in a SC so for games like Brighton they'll take one from the 60% leaving those on lower points to take from the 20%

Because it sounds like you’re having a pop at high points fans.
I think I’m one of them, do I go to just the big games? Nice weekends away?
