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

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

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.

I think I read last week that the plan is fan parks for those on official trips and no roaming around the City.

Indeed lad - not a happy bunny at all about the handling. Suspect this has been out of their hands though due to the Portuguese Government.
There had better not be a fcking ballot now that's for sure!!!

They must of had a inclination though lots of people have lost a lot of money Istanbul/ Porto / Wembley it stinks to high heaven 50 years watching supporting keeping city a float until our owners come in, we mean fuck all

Fantastic jesture by the owner, can see a sky full of Etihad planes, gutted I can't make it to Porto, but if I could I'd be all over this.

If the club do leverage Etihad planes, some in City livery. Can you imagine the marketing exposure ? Pictures of 10 or more lined up for take off at Ringway ! F’in master stroke in exposure

 

[Tonster]

Etihad have 10 A380s not in use at the moment.

Depends if Porto’s airports runway is long enough

Why not give preference to people on the CL scheme who have bought an away CL ticket in the past?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

I've got 16,975 & i'm on the cup scheme. Do you think i will get a ticket?

Yes if there are “several thousand” available

 

[aka blue jambo]

I got told around 12/13 thousand are on the champions league cup scheme.

Oh well I'm certainly fecked
On the scheme but a measly 4k points


Sob

Makes no difference to me in that I won't be travelling from Manchester and I had fuck all chance of a ticket anyway, but I don't know why the club didn't say this when the move to Porto was announced. 'Details TBC... but if fans are allowed the club will do a free official day trip to qualifying fans.' It's not as if the Sheikh had to check his bank balance first.

I think this has come about as a result of Portugal insisting on a certain percentage of the fans doing day-trips and refusing to budge on that.

 

[SouthStandStander]

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

A majority of the people with higher points have their tickets used by people in the same supporters club. I know as I have had access to these tickets over the years from various supporter clubs. It is a huge con and is a totally unfair system that is massively abused.

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”

I wasn't.
What I said was that if the Portuguese government wouldn't shift their stance & the only option for the club would have been insisting fans get tickets only on the official trips. This would have gone down like a lead balloon with everyone. Agreed???
By announcing the free travel they have turned what would have been a negative into a positive (unless you've already booked).
Is that clearer?

They never said they'll land at Porto ;-)

That's what the points were awarded for when you went.
I just want it to be fair, honest and open. Something sadly lacking with this final so far

 

[willipp]

Depends on whether someone with lower points doing the day trip gets priority over someone with higher points travelling independently? If tickets are sold as they normally are - points and cup scheme - then I don't think anyone can have any real complaints in terms of the way tickets are allocated.

I dont think they can do it that way. It will be tickets for the day trip package, then maybe a seperate ticket sale if there are any for the ticket only ones. Now how they will enforce that i don't know - tickets given out on the plane maybe? Otherwise you will get people buying a ticket for the day trip, getting their ticket and then going on their independent travel fo the weekend. The more you think about it, the more i feel this means it will almost all be day trip tickets and you get your ticket on the plane or in Porto at a fan park or something.

F’in Auto Correct ! - edited :)

 

[rickmcfc]

Let's hope city sort something for independent when full details announced later. Nothing from city in advance of this and shafted those that had gone out of the way to already sort plans. Is nobody at the club saying do you not realise how many have booked independently?

Whilst great for those not really arsed about going anyway the rest get shit on. If nothing agreed for those with travel already that's me done with city.

At least there's the good press city wanted after the ESL.

LOL. So the owner pays for the fans to travel which is a fantastic gesture and people are moaning about it? Fuck me we sound more like the rags with each passing season. I get your point to a certain extent but he simply can’t win.

11,417 feet.
It's long enough.

 

[jordtheblue]

Great gesture by the club but feel a bit gutted personally - made own arrangements and feel I had a fighting chance with my 10,000 points and being on the scheme. Not sure that will suffice now :(

We already have a scheme to decide this, so why change it for our biggest game? Loyalty points and cup schemes are there for a reason.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

So let's see. Fans are complaining because they booked flights and accommodation before any details at all (not one single jot) of the criteria for tickets. We still don't know and will not know until this evening. It makes no sense to me to have done any of that without knowing if you can get a ticket. Part of me says you deserve it. Let's face it, it could have been (and may well still be) a straight ballot. I suppose that is the problem with allowing a system whereby the lucky few can amass gazillions of points.
