FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

urban genie said:
This is true, I was weighing up what to do and waiting on Madrid away, as if we were def going to istanbul and I could only afford one I would have binned off even a Manchester Derby cup final

As real game is not a certainty (I expect us to win tbh) I have got a final ticket as may be the only one of the 2 we are at, looks like I will have to raid the credit card if Wednesday goes as planned. :-)

I suppose its better to buy a fa cup final ticket,then you could always pass it on to a pal IF we did get to CL final and you couldn't afford both.
 
Wow surprised at those points levels back in 2011.

Tickets available to: Date
Seasoncard holders with 5,000 loyalty points or more Thursday 28 April 2011
Seasoncard holders with 4,250 loyalty points or more Saturday 30 April 2011
Seasoncard holders with 3,750 loyalty points or more Monday 2 May 2011
Seasoncard holders with 3,500 loyalty points or more** Tuesday 3 May 2011
Seasoncard holders with 3,250 loyalty points or more Wednesday 4 May 2011



** And any Seasoncard holder who is actively registered on the Cup Games Direct scheme for the FA Cup competition, regardless of loyalty point status.

I got mine a little earlier but on the last day of sales whichever it was when restricted view ones, went on sale I was queuing at the ground again this time for my lad with Mrs Moon trying on the phone....she got one when I was a couple of hundred from the front.

By the time I'd got in my car it was SOLD OUT.

There is no guarantee supporters club tickets go just to members. We are a household name. We don't need these clubs.

Many of these clubs have been around for years and no doubt ensuring we sold out away ends when the team on the pitch for many years didn’t warrant it. I’m sure they offer other benefits to the club as well that you’re not aware of.

Some tickets may go wayward, but the vast majority of supporters I’d say are season ticket holders on high points who’d get tickets anyway. For some this also offers a way around the closed shop of ticket points, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re any less committed.

FA Cup Final Ticket Criteria (Merged)

Re: FA CUP FINAL TICKET CRTERIA Have faith. They virtually sold out at general sale for a semi-final against Man Utd at cheaper prices. I reckon they'll go to around 2500, those with 3000 or over will be fine I reckon. This i have 3500 and on cup direct and i think i will get a ticket :)

It was different to the semi as you said, but there was a safety net for CS.

Looks like I wasn’t in CS then!
Definitely joined the year after.

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

Pretty sure it was as low as 23k back in the day. And that was with100k capacity.

I think a lot did, as the club intended.

Made me think this year will be similar, a lot will join next year as they have already raised the price cap from £25 to £35. Sneaky sods.

Aye but you know how it is City is a drug you find hard to give up.

I will probably just blow thw budget now purchased if it happens and bin off a holiday later on on the year (better start being nice to the missus)

The only solution to all this point and scheme chaos,is to revert back to programme tokens glued to voucher sheets and to send them in via post to the ticket office.

Bit optimistic mate. Ticket office can't cope as it is when pretty much everything is done for them. Applying the voucher sheet to the correct supporter would be like some difficult mathematical equation. Probably start blaming the postmen for the inevitable fuck ups.

It's probably been said before but it's absolutely fucking ridiculous that a season ticket holder with a couple of thousand points who is on the scheme can get a ticket before an ST holder with 25,000 points who isn't on the scheme.

There's no way you'd have 25,000 points without being on the Cup schemes or going to loads of cup games.

Excellent point, Eds - why should Supporters Clubs be given a very large, priority allocation when most of their members will be regular attenders on high points totals anyway? I'm pretty sure there will be a large number of SC holders like me, who live a long way from Manchester and who choose not to be on the Cup Schemes because of the cost and hassle of getting to Manchester for Cup games, particularly in mid-week. That's my choice, of course, but it doesn't seem right to me that someone who has been a member of a Supporters Club, for maybe only a few months, might have a better chance of securing a Final ticket than I do.

And I don't hold any truck with the argument I have seen on this thread of "that's the way it has always been", because with that attitude, nothing would ever change for the better.

Glenn stop talking sense this is Bluemoon mate,you’re the 1st I’ve seen mention one of the many reasons people are not in the cup schemes people live far away for midweek travel, some supporters work shifts, other people have child minding issues, some people can’t make the league games if the fixture is changed from a Sat to midweek

I would have thought by now you had enough pay back for the dark years

You sound like a scouser

If they are season ticket holders no reason to give them a ticket then

you can dress it up how you want pal

the only people who think SC should get 6,000 tickets for this game are the SC

Cracking post mate. Spot on. It’s a back door route for non- season ticket holders and they arguing a known fact!
 
Always been the same with the Supporters clubs and I’ve seen it first hand in more than one club I’ve been on coaches going to cup finals with people on it who aren’t even members who haven’t been to watch city for years who fancied a day out.
The supporters clubs will apply for as many tickets as they need and will prioritise it however they want. If City have given them 6000 tickets then I guarantee there will be people there who never go. That’s how it is I don’t blame the SCs either I blame the club.

The members of the OSC are blues when the club eventually erode the legacy allocation to them,who do you think will get their allocation those who only fancy the finals or popular games or corporate who’ll pay more for a jolly I was there day out.
