Champions League Final | Tickets - City Official Package + UEFA Tickets | 2022 Final (pg 1033)

[LangleyBlue1970]

They discounted united final by £200, I think it helped set this up to be honest, City going one better.

Oh I didn't know that.
Ok, well for letting the stadium rot then.. ;-)

 

[M18CTID]

We don't know what the proportion is, but if you've got concerns you could write off your independent plans and travel with the club.

FWIW, I think you'll be fine

Yeah, I know mate. Into over £750 already (£599 2 day Sport Options trip plus £159 for a PCR test with 3 hour turnaround) so a day trip with the club doesn't actually offset it 100%!

 

[Dubai Blue]

If the day-trip idea was stipulated by the Portuguese government to keep the number of travellers down, it will backfire spectacularly.

Announce it at the start as the only way of getting there, you'd get 6,000 day trippers only. Leave it till 10 days to go, you get 6,000 day trippers PLUS another 3,000+ who have already booked elsewhere.

Doesn't make any sense to have left it this late if that was their concern.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Meanwhile you can hear Abramovich quietly swearing under his breath.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Could still be the case that the Portuguese government haven't budged on the bubble idea and the only way City could placate fans & ensure some will still qualify to be in the ground is by offering the free travel. Offering tickets to fans who have made their own way might not be an option City have.

It’s a brilliant gesture by the sound of things. We need more information. I’m not sure why you are trying to turn this into a negative by writing about “placating fans”

 

[chaddblue]

It can't be a ballot

If they announce its a ballot, thousands who had no intention of going will jump on the free trip and suddenly want a ticket

I think the club paying for it is to reduce the financial hit off those who have already paid out, of which the majority will think they'll definitely will get a ticket or have a good chance. It gives them now a choice to write off what they've splashed out already

If it went to a ballot the chances of getting a ticket for those who have already made arrangements and spent a small fortune will be even less because of the additional x thousand fans who will suddenly decide I'll have a bit of that !!!

 

[BlueMooner123]

It should be done on Cup scheme and points and as I'm not in the CL scheme I don't have a dog in this fight.

Agree, I’m not on cup scheme and have 6500 points. Knew I had little to no chance of a ticket when I booked to go. As long as I can have a beer and watch the game I’m not arsed. It should be a great occasion.
A ballot would be my only hope but this wouldn’t be fair at all for those who have been going home and away for countless years.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Ive booked all of that on the presumption I have close to no chance of getting a ticket ! And can’t wait :)

Choosing to take this seriously (although I may be being clarkied, well aware). Are you flying in from Georgia, because if so, well, fuck a duck!

It's not to keep the number of travellers down. They would do that through ticket allocations. It's to keep the number roaming the city for days at a minimum.

 

[dancity19]

I imagine it won't get past scheme and 16,000 points.

Does anyone know how many people are on the scheme?

 

[Bluemanc100]

Because thousands have already booked trips and now fear they don't have a chance of getting a ticket. I'm sure no one is complaining about the gesture but the timing of it and how it affects ticketing is not great.

You can’t fault people who used their initiative but still, this is a magnificent gesture. I’m unlikely to get a ticket with 4,400 points but had I been in the 20k points camp I’d have organised travel myself too and (I’d like to think I would) still recognise this gesture for what it is

 

[TheRubberRing]

How can anyone see this as a bad thing? The Portuguese government have obviously stipulated that 'the majority of fans with tickets have to be in and out on the same day'. They might even be in a bubble. So, knowing that this wouldn't be a popular option, the sheikh has done something amazing and covered the costs.

Those of you on the spike trip will have an amazing time. There are still loads of tickets available and how can you be annoyed that someone with more ticket points than you gets a ticket?

It's very salty to be pissed off that blues (who might have had a tough year) now have the opportunity to go to the final (which we are all absolutely desperate to be at) because the price has dropped substantially. No one should be priced out of the game, no matter how much it inconveniences you!

ive spent my years savings on going to the final. expensive tests, flights and hotels. now a bunch of people who werent bothered about going will jump on the freebie and probably destroy my chance of a ticket as well.
well chuffed

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Fantastic from our big boss man.

I feel for you guys who've put the yardage in and made your own arrangements as tickets will suddenly get much harder to get hold of.

 

[Indaparkside]

I am finished now the supporte

If the authorities are saying bubbles only what else can city they do. They have tried to soften the blow . Fans who have booked with no refunds will have a choice to make . No anyone’s fault only uefa. Should have played at Wembley and fecked off the gravy train delegates and sponsors

let us know earlier the whole thing fucking stinks they’ve known about this for a while but said fuck all, to say I’m annoyed is an understatement people now gloating oh I will go now fuck off

 

[Its in The Blood]

Can’t see anything on the CFC site about their tickets!!!

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I think it should be a ballot for the tickets, same as with the Everton game. Not fair that only the people with high points get to benefit from Sheikh Mansour‘s gesture.

Sorry sir - absolutely NOT - the people with high points are the one's who've spent huge amounts in the past travelling all over Europe (Moscow, Kiev etc.). On some occasions the club didn't actually run a trip to get there.
No ballot - points based

 

[carlosthejackal]

Always thought being on the cup scheme and points criteria was set up to reward loyalty , the club no doubt have a list of who has attended most champions league games home and away , so I see no reason to use any other criteria

 

[Jamo Mcfc]

How many ticket points do we reckon this will go down to now?

Fantastic no just trying to make right for the super league fiasco we’re customers now not fans fuck city I’m done

 

[TheRubberRing]

We all are mate but you’re not allowed to moan about it, apparently. You have to take it on the chin how you have spent hundreds of pounds already and booked off holidays and spent hours booking stuff and generally getting excited about having a holiday after not having had a single day off work in over 12 months and yet your ticket is now prioritised to somebody else. Just smile and be happy for the free day trippers and the kindness of the Sheikh. That’s what I’m now doing.

ive taken this to heart a little as i was so excited and upbeat until now.
