Do we have any idea as to what the facilities are likely to be at the fanparks? In particular will there be adequate seating? I’m not really up to standing for long periods, especially if I have to stand during the match.
Wind bags crying?
Season ticket holders are rightly annoyed because any Tom, Dick & Harry who's a member of their local (or not) OSC are getting tickets for the biggest game in our history before your average Season ticket holder who's not in an OSC.
There are members of the OSC that aren't on the cup scheme, are not platinum Season ticket holders and some even say that, in some cases aren't even Season ticket holders yet you post inflammatory shite like that.
The majority of our support are not in the OSC yet have to stand by and watch a minority get privileged treatment. It's ridiculous that ALL supporters haven't had to follow the SAME process for tickets for a game of this magnitude. I include the corporate support in this as not to upset you too much Timmy
1st: Priority, based on years holding a season ticket. 2nd: Priority based on years being an Inter member.Anyone know how Inter have handled there’s?
Where is that link which page can you remember?
Still doing code requests today is the last day. They are then doing it off how many years you've been a season ticket holder as I think they have 37k STsAnyone know how Inter have handled there’s?
Every Tom, Dick & Harry equates to any members of an OSC. They've been told of their tickets before the rest (majority) of us. So although on the face of it, it might seem an over aggregation, it isn't in my opinion. Possibly inflammatory but not an over exaggeration.I would have thought that most established OSCs have a pecking order which means the longer serving members are prioritised for tickets. Also most OSCs will contain many members who already hold season tickets, have plenty of points and are on the cup schemes. So I think to say any Tom, Dick or Harry as you put it can get tickets is a bit of an exaggeration.
Yes there will be a small group of fans able to get tickets that maybe would have stood no chance through the standard ticketing criteria, but is that how we want it to be as a fanbase? That we lock out new/younger supporters just because 'I was here first'? That would be counterproductive for the club as a whole.
20,000 allocation for the game. I suspect the main thing that will prevent supporters going to this game will be the expense of the trip rather than a few OSC members getting a ticket.

As has been pointed out, these members can and often will get their own, and the tickets they are allocated are likely to go to the lower point STs and other members.I would have thought that most established OSCs have a pecking order which means the longer serving members are prioritised for tickets.

That’s exactly my experience when I contacted my local OSC, as soon as I mentioned having a season ticket it was just pressure to let others use it (home and away) and a minor strop when I didn’t want to go along with it. I kept well away after that.As has been pointed out, these members can and often will get their own, and the tickets they are allocated are likely to go to the lower point STs and other members.
My local SC was just a group of mates to allow access to away tickets as they missed out on the 2011 final. They told me that if I joined they would have a better chance of getting more away tickets and that I should get my own. I didn't join.
No worries Rachace. It’s all a bit of give and take. I’m not particularly a fan of the ticket allocation system and my night in the Tunnel Club for the West Ham game was probably a once in a lifetime occcasion.Wind bags crying?

I I think you’re right about the expense putting people off. I saw a post on here a few days ago about the Club offering a “subsidised” flight for £995, in and out on the same day. Match tickets start around £65 but realistically I suspect we are looking at around £150. Add to that incidental travel (to and from airports etc) and food and beverage and you are looking at somewhere in the region of £1200 for a day out. That may be just a bit too much for a lot of people.I would have thought that most established OSCs have a pecking order which means the longer serving members are prioritised for tickets.

The OSC's should have not even been considered. The are not running coaches, they are not chattering planes, just why this was not 100% obvious to the club even before tha Madrid game. These needless and pointless delays pandering to the OSC's for absolutely no reason, has cost every other blue potentially hundreds of pounds in increased travel costs!Local Supporter Club Branch.
As has been said they’ve been able to input Supporter Number and Name etc towards a ticket but haven’t actually been allocated yet apparently
Spot on. When I asked to join I was asked if I had a season ticket or equivalent (hospitality season ticket) and if so did I use it for away tickets already? I said I go to every game home and away already so don't need a ticket off OSC. They then rejected me for no other reason that they couldn't use my ST. There is no excuse for people who simply attend a monthly meeting at a pub and have a few drinks but rarely go to the games to get priority over people that pay significant sums to watch the team every other week at home and as often as they can awayThat’s exactly my experience when I contacted my local OSC, as soon as I mentioned having a season ticket it was just pressure to let others use it (home and away) and a minor strop when I didn’t want to go along with it.

This may be nothing to go on at all but went to a few of the UEFA ones in the past Euros and there were not a great amount of seating. Bars were very adequate with little queues to be fair. Again, this was a good few years back so could be totally different for this.
same happened to me with Edinburgh.Spot on. When I asked to join I was asked if I had a season ticket or equivalent (hospitality season ticket) and if so did I use it for away tickets already?

It's not a debacle though. Inter's tickets aren't on sale yet either as far as I know.Frankly, lessons should be learnt from this debacle, and perhaps it's time to go to the fairest system for ABSOLUTELY EVERY ticket sale going forward, and that one in which UK Supporters make their own individual applications based on Shemes and Loyalty points, with a very small % held back for auction to overseas supporters.
You say needless delays pandering to the supporters clubs but do you have any proof that is the reason for the hold up? Yes I know 100% the club are still negotiating with the OSC about the number of tickets they will get but it doesn't mean this is the sole reason for the hold up there are many factors here that could be at play and don't forget inter haven't released sales details yet.The OSC's should have not even been considered. The are not running coaches, they are not chattering planes, just why this was not 100% obvious to the club even before tha Madrid game.

Why is everybody assuming that the tickets haven't been released because of discussions with the supporter's clubs? Because there are arguments going on on here? I think that's a false assumption and there is no "debacle" and nobody is going to miss out on a ticket.The OSC's should have not even been considered.

It’s not putting people off, I live 8 miles from the Etihad, run an unofficial Supporters club from Ashton and had many requests for tickets. I’ve never known so many fans going to an overseas game, it’ll be just my 4th one abroad but as a long standing season ticket holder and on the Cup Scheme I’m well happy to be getting my ticket.I I think you’re right about the expense putting people off.
