Champions League Final | Ticket Criteria | SOLD OUT

[blingy]

For transparency copy of the email wording at the bottom

Basically the way a supporters club works 99.9% of the time is you request a number of tickets, City receive and confirm how many you are getting, this then automatically generates an email confirming your allocation and you go in and add the names and supporter numbers of those having the tickets.

In this case however and I assume it is due to a third party (uefa) handling the sales the process is slightly different and they want the names upfront of those wanting to proceed based on the overall costs and they will use this to negotiate a number of tickets with city. The downfall however which is causing the problems is that by opening the portal in this way as a one off generates the you have a confirmed allocation email which some branches seem to have taken as read without reading kevin parkers accompanying email so as previously stated at this point in time no branch has a confirmed allocation, that is not to say they won't get what they want just simply at this time nothing is confirmed.

Anyway as stated at the outset the wording of the email.....





Afternoon All

The latest stage of my negotiations are now completed

Whilst I do not yet know the number of tickets we will receive I do know they will all be Category 3 - £156

So, I now need Supporters Clubs to add names and numbers to The Portal for anyone who wants to purchase and is happy with Category 3

If the Supporter DOES NOT want Category 3 then please DO NOT add their name and number

Based on the number who are happy with Cat 3 I can then go back to City in the Morning and negotiate on the exact number of tickets needed

So

Please add the names and numbers by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT - I know this is a tight schedule but I am working to get the best allocation possible

Any questions then email me

Thanks , I appreciate you taking the time to clear that up. Hope you can see where us independent fans are getting confused .

Can I ask if the suporters you put forward has to be on the cup scheme,( just wondering if the tickets that go to OSC will impact the ratio of tickets to cup scheme members) . Not particularly bothered how you distribute them tickets just wondering if we now have less cup scheme members requiring tickets if you know what I mean?

 

[blingy]

Let's be honest you're all flapping at the osc allocation when it won't be a higher % than any other away game. How many of you were at Brighton tonight?

Why ? Was all the OSC members who have applied for Istanbul at Brighton tonight ? They Must have been sat in the home end…

 

[kippaxwill]

I’ve got 22000 points and my son has 8500, he’s 20 years old, both on cup scheme. We could’ve applied for tickets together with the OSC, but we’re concerned we wouldn’t get tickets, or would get stung for the £450 ticket bracket hence believing best to do it on our own.
Any ideas what will be the easiest way for us to get a seat together when the access codes go live please? Many thanks in advance

When you go to confirm your payment of your ticket, you will be given an order number. When it's your son's turn to buy a ticket, he should have the option of entering your order number in which will allow the two tickets to be seated together. However, you might find with your points difference you might end up with tickets in different categories which cannot be seated together. My guess is the Cat 3 tickets would be your best bet.

Time will tell, but the cost will be prohibitive for so many.

People will find a way for a final, I think.

Edit - people who have the means, will try their best to find a way. Fully understand it’s just not achievable for all.

Semantics, but I don’t love the wording of “latest stage of negotiations”.

What about all those not in OSC who are waiting to see if they can get a ticket ahead of committing to flights and hotels. Just lower down in the pecking order.

I saw that West Ham’s codes has a expiry time so don’t wait, you can link the orders after you buy them and they will sit you as close as possible

 

[Stretford Born Blue]

OSC, flapping or not, there's an infinite difference between and clamour for a Brighton away ticket and a CL final ticket. People are also saving money with an FA Cup final and the expensive CL final to pay for.

Wrong, if we’d needed to win last night, which was still the case when Brighton tickets were sold, then every bugger was keen on then, same for Brentford. And by the way, we had 2 tickets only allocated in our OSC, over 200 members!

Presumably this means that branches will be allocated more than their usual %?

 

[blueparsman]

They will get what they ask for in portal. If they get confirmed 22 tickets and the 22 members are willing to pay for the 156 tickets they will add the 22 names and they will get them. No way will they come back and say you will only get 15 of those 22. If only 20 of 22 willing to pay they will put in 20 names. Anyone says otherwise is talking bs

 

[didsburyblu]

Presumably this means that branches will be allocated more than their usual %?

Why? It could just as easily mean they are getting less. I have no idea personally but not sure how anyone can know either way based on the information available.

 

[East Level 2]

Time will tell, but the cost will be prohibitive for so many.

The cost (official flights rather than tickets) is what stopped me going on the club flight.
I'm now stuck with enough points to get a ticket but no bloody transport.
Any ideas for out on Friday and back straight after the game?
I thought a club where the shirt and stadium sponsor was an airline might be able to rustle up a few planes.

if any don’t get tickets but have flights booked , they may shift on , if you can do a name change

Turkish Airways had flights MAN to IST for £622 a few minutes ago Friday: 17:10 - 23:10 Sunday 07:40 - 09:55

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

I say it as in the email from KP he states 'Based on the number who are happy with Cat 3 I can then go back to City in the Morning and negotiate on the exact number of tickets needed'. Why the need to negotiate if they are getting what they have asked for as so many people on here have said. Although you may be right in that the club have said you are getting 5% and KP isn't happy and again to be fair it may be the number of applications is low but in that case why the need to negotiate. And if the club are giving a lower % than normal then why and where are those tickets going to? Again the club needs to come out and be transparent about the split of tickets rather than just saying, as they normally do, that various groups of people will be allocated tickets. It would also be good if the club actually announced the timeline of when the criteria would be announced instead of leaving everyone guessing and speculating.

is that each way. cheapest i could get on the turkish airline site was 400 going , 350 coming back. albeit different times .

Try stansted or Luton. Much cheaper you prepared to drive down. Were going out of Stansted for £350.

 

[DimButBlue]

Both ways. Just looked again on the website and it's still showing £205 out on Friday:

So did our branch. And?

But City didn't need to win. Mute point. And many people couldn't go because it was a rearranged midweek game.

I have a mate who goes to most away games, but he can't go to midweek away games because of his job.

He's going on a full coach to Brentford on Sunday. Most of the people on the coach don't have a ticket, but they are going for the occasion and for an end of season piss up. I decided not to go. I need all of my money for Istanbul. Just like a lot of people who decided not to go to Brighton but would have done normally.

 

[tamesideblue86]

Has anyone had any email or information from UEFA yet? I have seen nothing or an indication on anything regarding the tickets. Flights are booked and hotel to be sorted but not feeling good about tickets only a few weeks out
