I'm a member of all schemes so get tickets for finals. The only thing I don't agree with is Platinum. The club is moving beyond that and mass allocation to supporters clubs. Conversely the supporters clubs may facilitate young supporters more. I would happily prioritise younger support over me for the future of the club.

Yeah I thought that but they do say on their sales criteria that they have managed to secure some additional tickets. His 3000 might be a tad OTT though.I'd say it's bollocks. The fa cup final is more strictly monitored and it's harder to get tickets. The first all Manchester one will have higher demand than most. All the bigwigs of the fa and the associated clubs who get their share will take them up so I don't see where spares are coming from.
Fucking winds me up that. I wonder if they actually have them though or if they source after orders. Appears to be loads in ‘city section’ but only just gone on sale todaySee a lot of tout sites already offering tickets for £500 and more

It’s the reason I don’t join the cup schemes, sometimes life gets in the way, even though I’ve only missed (homes) Copenhagen in the CL, did both LC games and only missed the semi in the FA, I normally go on my own during the week & enjoy the escapism. Whatever tickets I do or don’t get in the next few weeks won’t change what an amazing season we’re having so I’m just a bit meh about it all, no sense in coming on ere and taking pot shots at fellow bluesYep, agreed. Certainly one of the major reasons. If I lived in Manchester I'd go to more cup games during the week. Bad enough the few I've done this season and getting back home at 1am.

It's not unfair if you are working all day, and don't have access to the City website, which I don't when at work.i think this is unfair. everyone on social media will check BM and MCFC pages. City put the info on webpage....not sure what more they could do....and if u are relying on a MCFC message...well read the ticket office threads!!!
My issue, was that they are forever emailing and SMS'ing me, when it's quite obvious I'll never be eligible for a ticket at say Bournemouth or Brentford, and yet they don't bother for the cup final, when I'm actually on the cup scheme and attend the games.
It's not logical is my problem, anyway no issue, as thanks to here I knew they were on sale and what the criteria was once I'd finished work, so all sorted.

I can see it now. Tourist or 50 walk in with red part of half and half scarf showing!Fucking winds me up that. I wonder if they actually have them though or if they source after orders. Appears to be loads in ‘city section’ but only just gone on sale today
It is a bit hit and miss on finding ticket news. To be fair to them they sent me an email at 9.01 this morning titled ‘Fa cup final ticket alert.’i think this is unfair. everyone on social media will check BM and MCFC pages.

I agree with that. They should have sent a message and email yesterday really.It's not unfair if you are working all day, and don't have access to the City website, which I don't when at work.

I've sat in the away end at the toilet, and still had rags sat next to me with shirts on, so nothing should surprise you that much.I can see it now. Tourist or 50 walk in with red part of half and half scarf showing!

That's why it's not "unfair" some did, some didn't get an email.I agree with that. They should have sent a message and email yesterday really.
They’d have to be minted. Prices start at £550I can see it now. Tourist or 50 walk in with red part of half and half scarf showing!

Hands up if you’re buying cup final tickets in the hope of swapping em for Brentford ;)
i think on this one...they put it on website, on mcfc news, on ticket news, on fixtures...then it was on BM. It was on MCFC b4 BM.It is a bit hit and miss on finding ticket news. To be fair to them they sent me an email at 9.01 this morning titled ‘Fa cup final ticket alert.’

I've criticised the tik office this week and last w/e.. took it up with them and city matters...but i think on this issue ... its unfair

How would they know?Friends in the scottish OS mentioned about 2000 tickets going to the OSC's but thought they were just referencing the scottish contingent.
Makes sense 6k .

I'm pretty sure you used to get 25k for the final but was increased last year to 30500 (not sure why) I expect this us what they mean by extra ticketsYeah I thought that but they do say on their sales criteria that they have managed to secure some additional tickets. His 3000 might be a tad OTT though.

They have announced extra tickets after the initial 30500, we got an increased allocation for Watford in 2019 up to about 31600, hopefully we get similar this year. I initially thought it unlikely with it being a much bigger tie but there is a chance we will.I'm pretty sure you used to get 25k for the final but was increased last year to 30500 (not sure why) I expect this us what they mean by extra tickets
I was taking about that today, very similar story, got to the ground around 5am and couldn’t believe the queue…got my tickets when United were 2 up. How far we have come ehI'll never forget queuing for hours for derby FA Cup tickets in 96 the day after we beat Coventry (I think). And the play off final. Got in the queue before 8am and United had beat Newcastle in the cup final before I got to the front, via some weird and wonderful back door tunnels throught the Kippax. Today, done in less than a minute!
