FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

I post my knowledge in good faith.

Look at my post history, I often get the team news early & it’s usually spot on.

I got told tickets would be on sale by today - it appears they were way out. I won’t be using that source again. Apologies

No apology required my friend, you owe me nothing!

I also think the club need to find a better way to reward people who are not ST holders but who attend most games. It is crazy that someone with a ST who has attended say 10 games and no cup games gets priority over someone who has been to 16 games and all the cup games.

It's never fair, but SC holders are rewarded for committing their hard earned cash in May for the entirety of the following season. Your example should be rewarded but not to the detriment of SC holders (BTW, I'm a SC holder and on all the cup schemes and have only missed a few games this season due to holidays)
 
Tickets were never going on sale today, with it being a bank holiday.

Wouldn't be surprised if the information came out tomorrow or Wednesday to be on sale from Thursday

That's what ticket points are for.

Were for. Correction. They seem pretty meaningless now mate.

Think it should be season ticket holders on cup scheme, season ticket holders and then sliding points for the citizens members. I joined a supporters club this year and it's outrageous if people with only one game this season can jump ahead of others in a game of this magnitude.

That’s what it will be but I don’t think it will get to Cityzens.

I agree with the broad concept of what you're saying but the club is usually pretty good at knowing how many tickets will be taken by SC holders. And many getting tickets through their OSC branch would probably have qualified anyway.

You could also argue that a season ticket holder who hadn't been to an FA Cup game shouldn't be entitled to a ticket before someone who didn't have a season ticket but might have been to some or all previous cup games.

I also understand that OSC's want to arrange travel, so you can't really keep them waiting till the last minute to see what tickets are left.

I dont know if they can. But i doubt all the tickets have to be disclosed with season ticket number as not all are season ticket holders that are getting the tickets.

They will be, but Tickets can be passed on very easily….tickets allocated by club, SC issues ticket to member, member passes it onto a friend, I’m not suggesting it’s common practice just it would be quite easy to do for games at Wembley

I would guess that with 30K tickets that all season card holders should be OK...as long as yer happy paying for the £115+ tickets. And if you know a SC holder who aint going, just get on friends&family and they can get you one.

I’m not sure about that. Do we know that the allocation is 30k because in the past it’s been less? A good number of those will be skimmed off to players, staff, corporates, sponsors etc. I posted earlier that I was told that we have 36k season ticket holders and the vast majority will buy a ticket even if it’s for someone else. I’ve been inundated with texts from blues asking if I can help. Given that I’d be surprised if it didn’t sell out to season ticket holders with a few thousand points. But the saving grace might just be those level two tickets which I think were £250 and will be the absolute last to sell.
 
As usually happens with high demand games people come out and criticise Supporters clubs saying they arent deserving. Bizzarely not a word is said when said supporters club takes a coach of 70 people to Southampton on a wet Tuesday night in march when all the people demanding tickets for brentford / finals etc will suddenly be busy that night and unable to attend.

But to give people an idea I run a supporters club, a pretty small one in the grand scheme of things but we have 80 members, 74 of which are season ticket holders, we asked for 15 tickets for Wembley we were allocated 15. We don't abuse the system and whilst the criteria hasnt yet been released I'm 99.99% certain all these would have qualified in there own right but by ordering via the supporters club they get to sit with a group of people they are familiar with and In most circumstances the more people in the group the better the occasion

Scousers and Chelsea got that last year and we got more v Watford. This was the criteria then...down to general sale! https://www.mancity.com/news/ticket...nal-ticket-information-sales-criteria-watford

Watford and MU games demand from City fans are ways at different end of the scale given the same allocation. Plus we got FA family unwanted back for Watford.

Not sure. That was a treble winning game against 'nice' opponents. Trains were running fine as well from memory. I think the high ticket prices put a lot of Blues off and might be similar this time with no trains.

Games away against united can be a chore due to groups looking to abuse and cause trouble, yet they are the highest demand. Some people can't be bothered 3 times as many will take their place, even neutrals would pay decent money for this one.

We have a record numbers of sponsors, partners, hospitality, staff, ex players, supporters club branches and season ticket holders. I think some people will get a shock with Wigan and Watford comparisons.
 
Hoping the train strikes don’t cause too much chaos, might be a blessing for me in terms of getting my hands on a ticket although that depends on what fuckery they decide with regards to sales windows. Waiting for them to allocate 10k tickets for London City fans with no previous purchase history or membership
