FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

What do you propose? How many coaches do you put on and where do you stop with which areas you pick- someone is always going to have to travel… they aren’t going to pick people up on route

Didsbury and Radcliffe are both 6/8 miles from town. Utter bollocks that they don’t have central Manchester pick up / drop back. Shambolic effort again regarding travel. No planes to Madrid and no coaches from town for the FA Cup Final. Can you seriously imagine any other team making fans do what we’re asking? Utter joke. Absolutely small time. Whoever is in charge of City travel wants fucking off.
 
Coach destinations are a complete joke. I get people might not live near the Etihad but everybody goes there every other week, they all know how to best get there by now so you'd think they'd arrange somewhere as close as possible or at the very least central-ish. Not city, too obvious, let's pick two destinations on the outskirts on manchester at the very edge of the metrolink and make it as difficult as possible. May aswell have picked old trafford.
 
fuck. fuck. on sale friday, fuck. it's practically impossible for me to be online on friday. fuck.

am i blind as i can't see anywhere in citys page a link or even a mention of being able to book on the phone? I'd be valid from 12noon at almost 15,000 points on cup scheme, what can i do??????

literally sat here crying like a wuss.

PMd you.
 
^ replied and said thanks, but yeah after a frantic 2am teary phone call to my sister she's agreed to be "ill" and miss work to book it for me.

Just in shock at the short notice of sale date, and so many criteria being on day one. It feels like the life shit is never ending for me and i can't catch a break... but if i can get to the final with my little boy in my mums seat and she can still be here to watch it from her hosp bed in her front room on oxygen, i will breathe and allow myself a small smile.
(And big tears of relief when we beat the scum)

Not if the supporters club have allocated him a tik already using his supporters number. If they haven't, then his card will be free to use.
 
Any out of town blues looking for a hotel to tie in with coach travel, check out Didsbury house hotel, £150 for the night (on booking.com) which ain’t bad for a Saturday & short notice, 500m or so from coach drop off point
 
It's just going to be chaos! No ifs, not buts, just chaos.

Lack of trains, accessibility issues with coaches, hassle of driving and parking, the potential for trouble, the game being in half term leading to holiday clashes, and a booking system that hinders the non tech savvy! Without any shadow of doubt, there are people who think they want to go now, but by the time those sales windows open, and people are thousands down in the queue, facing 3 figure ticket prices, then the cost and hassle algorithm will kick into fans thought process, with many just saying 'feck it'!

I cannot recall City ever attempting to sell so many tickets in such a short sales window and fully expext the IT systems to explode. Anyone who is seriously contemplating phone or going to the ground, then God help you. The current disconnect between our club and fans regarding ticket sales is absolutely staggering and as a business we are becoming more akin to a utility company every day, with absolutely no chance to speak or see another human!

It is a bit crazy to do such big jumps...big waits, little trust in the IT system etc.

Logic isn't ever a thought but as its being done online just drop 1k points every hour, drop the 18-25 bit as they'll get tickets anyway AND sell over the weekend at least on Saturday.

Hope I'm wrong but a wouldn't be surprised that we'll be watching a car crash in slow motion on Friday.

The coaches aren't any issue for me personally. But getting anywhere at crazy o'clock in the morning or late at night on public transport isn't good. There are three spots City Centre from the FA for those who can't to the others.
