I've had my 980 points added for this season for the renewal and cup schemes and whilst I'm not planning on missing games nowhere does it say, that I can see, that I will be docked points for missing a game or granted extra points if I swipe in at the turnstile so to me this will do absolutely nothing to force people to attend the home games, City don't really care if you attend or not they've got your money and can't resell the seat unless you offer it up so there's nothing in it for them.
Is that the 18/19 season because it does say that the 19/20 season cup scheme points will not be added until we are knocked out of that particular cup?

It’s the supporters clubs that do the most whoring .......
Using and Getting tickets and points for members who qualify who have no intention of going to the games, then passing them on to supporters who don’t qualify, at times supporters who are not actually members of there SC.
And funny enough it seems to be supporters club members (branch secretaries and in other high up positions in SC ) that seem to be the ones speaking for us none SC members via there position in City matters .
And funny enough again it seems there system of whoring has been left intact with these changes and even funnier there ticket allocation is untouched where as the regular fan now has a 5% less chance of getting a ticket
Having ranked SC members on the City matters is akin to having Gill on Uefa
Supporters clubs Self serving there own interests as usual

If it was a ballot, different 18-25 year olds could be picked for each game to ensure anybody who has applied gets the chance to get to an away game. As it is, the same 18-25 year olds will likely eat up the 150 tickets thus not giving others a chance to get one. If it's all about "fairness", then we were promised a ballot. This is bollocks
But surely the same 150 young people won’t always be the first in the queue to get them?

Spot-on. The price cut made a big difference. Many dropped out of places like Arsenal and Chelsea charging £60 plus a ticket. With my points I have virtually always got a Derby ticket (plus Anfield) but missed out for one season and was surprised. I am usually forced into the Home end at places like Bournemouth. I still believe clubs should be made to provide bigger away allocations (when required) and the FSA should fight for this. It mostly works well in the FA CupThe figures show it spiked, ie harder to get tickets, when they introduced the £30 cap. Last season was the easiest season to get tickets since before the cap was introduced.

If they go on sale at 10am on a weekday it suits those 9-5ers in an office a lot more than the lads on site or cant have a five minute skive to buy tickets.But surely the same 150 young people won’t always be the first in the queue to get them?

Great post. The other whores are of course ticket office staff themselves who seem to rake of a number of tickets and sell them on for their own gain. Nothing being done about that is there?It’s the supporters clubs that do the most whoring .......

Face painting and all sorts going on !!Are the 150 seats together? Could be quite interesting having seats next to them :-)

Apologies you are probably right I'm at work and the city ticket page won't load but suspect it is just the season card points that have been added at this time but still I'm not aware that I''ll be docked points for non attendance or that I won't receive my cup points should I miss a game

I think we both know what will likely happen here.....
Wherever these 150 were getting their tickets from before, will tell them to get their own through the 18-25 release but will still apply for the same amount and give them to Tom, Dick and Harry.

That's why the main stand ( supposed to be Home fans only) was packed with City fans at Plzen including me. The locals couldn't wait to offload their tickets.Correct, take an extreme example Plzen away. 600ish tickets available, 350 lost to 18/25s and Thomas cook, 250 left for players, staff, corporates, supporters club and... Nope none left.
If they go on sale at 10am on a weekday it suits those 9-5ers in an office a lot more than the lads on site or cant have a five minute skive to buy tickets.
Of course yeah but you can sometimes take a call on site.
It’s not going to be the same 150 though is it?

No doubt this is the case too and should be looked at and changed by the club but I don’t think the staff had a seat at the table pretending to speak on behalf of the general fan whilst preserving there own ways and allocation like the supporters clubs have in the guise of City matters ... I’d be willing to bet that most if not all of them reps on CM was high ranking members of supporters clubs.

How’s that a different scenario to a ballot?

a 25 year old new season ticket holder who has never been to a game
Yes but on his 26th birthday he ceases to be a problem. He will have fuck all points and the club will now regard him as a potential points whore who can be treated like shit.
I think it has already been mentioned on here but if not we seem to be missing the bigger problem. Forget the ticket allocations to 18-25 forget the collections at the ground. The biggest problem is the criteria that has just been released. Last year in April for United and Brighton top tier was 22,000 now it starts at 25,000. That is the biggest problem more and more tickets will start disappearing.
Don't think you get the cup scheme tickets added until the Final of the competitionHave you got your cup scheme points yet? I haven't got mine
Exactly , the bloke does a sterling job and a lot of people fail to see it . a great many forget it was the supporters club that kept city going in the dark days , the hierarchy at Maine road even raided SC funds to keep afloat !!
Just like Swales and Halford - selfless.

We aren’t all like that...Whenever ive gone away at least 30% have been 18-25 or younger anyway. You will hear them walking into the ground followed by getting drenched as they throw their beer all over you because they have had 3 pints and cant drink anymore.
