Champions League Final | Ticket Criteria | SOLD OUT

[Corky]

It should be the 60% figure that
was promised for every game.

Then we see 1k first minute of sale against united or 400 v Bournemouth.

It was a rough estimate rather than a cast iron guarantee.

And old the ex players and families at Brighton away in 2018. That said, I was happy enough celebrating the championship for the Brighton end.

I qualify tomorrow afternoon. Does anyone know if all four categories are still left?

I was adjacent to all the F&F and bodyguards block, the quietest I have seen a bar at an away ground.

Why would my view be different when I only go to games on my points. It’s other members who’ve done most of the charity work. Out allocation for Istanbul is less than 10% of our membership so it isn’t loads of tickets.

Also if we want to be nit picking (and my previous posts haven’t defended the 20%).
- I know loads of Blues with massive points who have 2 season cards. That’s the integrity of the points system.
- what about pull throughs.
- what about 18-25
- what about sponsors tickets
- what about corporate tickets
- the disability and ambulant carer system is abused
- why did points holders react so vocally against the 5% ID Checks.

I don’t think the OSC or the points allocations are perfect far from it but tickets have to be spread wider than the closed shop.

Btw I noticed they the Cup final went to Cityzens after all season card holders had 2 bites at the Cherry.

Alex, who is doing a brilliant job keeping Bluemooners informed, reckons the vast majority of season card holders who are going will get a ticket for Istanbul. Sponsors and corporates have already got their tickets.

I’m for protecting the points allocation btw

This is dead right. The loyalty points system doesn’t have 100% integrity because in the days when points were awarded for away games, the high points hoarders would buy tickets for every game and sell them on if they couldn’t go. If you’re in the top 5-10% of loyalty points I imagine you’ll stay there for generations.

As I’ve said before, there’s two ticket offices at city, the official one (direct from club and OSC) and unofficial one (Twitter, Facebook, pubs in Gorton etc). If you don’t have the points you have plenty of options, which is why I’ve never missed a final with my 600 points…

I have just spoken to my son who lives in London, he has just told me he has got a ticket for Istanbul as he's in the OSC. All good but he has only ever attended twice? My other son doesn't qualify yet and he's on the cup scheme with nearly 19.000 points. His best friend on the scheme and now thinks he has no chance of a ticket, he's also on the cup scheme with a few thousand points. How on earth is this fair?

We should have been in the mix to up the drinker element lol

Surely 19000 points on cup scheme guarantees you a ticket.

It will but what about the ST on the CL scheme with a 1000 points.
What if they lose out due an OSC behaving like this.
All OSC in the UK should have the same distribution criteria.

A coach load of City’s firm all got into Burnley on junior tickets the other year. Like you say, there’s all sorts of ways of getting tickets

I’m in the 4pm Tuesday club, and from what @Alex - City Matters has posted, I’m optimistic.

 

[liongard82]

Where did @Alex - City Matters think this would get to?

 

[i went to rotherham]

It's not a great stadium for football bye the looks of things, everyone seems to be half a mile from the pitch with that running track round it. Who on earth thought this would make a good CL final venue. Bizarre?

The UEFA official running away with a big suitcase full of cash !

 

[Erling9]

thinking i'm done with this waiting and will just grab one of those overpriced 2000 quid tickets from third party sites

 

[Corky]

Where did @Alex - City Matters think this would get to?

He reckoned it would make it past the cup scheme or I inferred that. Nothing precise.

 

[kippax123]

Absolutely does but he's booked flights and accommodation with his friend on the cup scheme with a few thousand points? Surely he should get a ticket first?

No it isn’t fair, but that’s the way it has been organised.
Both the poster and the poster they quoted believe it is fair though and will either tell you you are wrong, be condescending prigs, bully or abuse you, their mates pile on to bully you or they just outright lie.

But it is what it is, Jack’s fine and the branch members will always look after one another.

It really doesn't bother me to be honest. Put your opinion across and what will be will be?

 

[cibaman]

I think I’d rather pay for higher priced tickets and be up high. That view is atrocious down low.

It does depend how close to the front you are. At City i am in row L of the first tier and it’s a great view. Just a few rows further forward and it wouldnt be any good.If you buy a blue ticket can you specify that you want to be above the red seats?
