Exactly this. The club will get 2,300 tickets they’ll give them out to the different groups and it’s up to those groups how they give them outHerein lies the problem,
18/25 will defend their allocation.
Loyalty point holders will defend their's.
Supporter's club's will defend their's
Corporate will defend their's.
And the club will defend their right to sell to whoever they want and don't really give a dam about any of the above groups.
People should pass this on to Kevin Parker, rather than moan on here.I saw one lad on the City facebook sites who had sussed it out. He was setting up a OSC in an area which currently didnt have one, he needed a total of 20 members to become official, didnt matter where the 20 were from as long as they had a Cityzens number and he was also paying the £10(?) membership fee for everyone, once he hit the 20 mark no one else could join. £200 to access/request tickets for every game. I wonder which member gets the tickets allocated to that branch....
Could be wrong but do new branches have to wait 6 months to a year to request away tickets. If it’s a year that’s £430 for his first away ticket through the OSCI saw one lad on the City facebook sites who had sussed it out.

I'm not moaning, fair play to him, hes seen a loophole and used it.People should pass this on to Kevin Parker, rather than moan on here.
No idea but plenty will see that as value for money if it gets them ticket for big aways.Could be wrong but do new branches have to wait 6 months to a year to request away tickets. If it’s a year that’s £430 for his first away ticket through the OSC
If as you say most OSC members are season card holders then let them buy tickets via the points system. They way they took up the slack in the 80’s, 90’s etc and organised coach travel so all their members could travel together is to be applauded but as everyone says times have changed. Their allocation should be scrapped, there is no justification any longer for them to have their own.Atmosphere improved a million % since the club changed the ticketing. Just an observation. The away crowd really lifted the team at multiple points last year. It seemed we'd score within 5 minutes of the awooooo song getting going. I see the perspective of fans who had massive loyalty point totals who feel shafted aswell. Its a tough one and I don't know the right answer.
I don't think the OSC's are a major issue, most people who are members of the local ones are season ticket holders anyway. The one I was a member of distributed the ones they got allocated pretty fairly and wasn't some sort of clique but I can't speak for the others.
careful,name names, i might know one of them ,or is that woodhousesI personally know 2 city fans who don’t have a season ticket who got tickets to every away game they wanted to go to. They even got tickets for the FA cup final and champions league final. Where I have been a season ticket holder for over 29 years and can’t get pretty much regarding away games including Champion league final! Failsworth supporters club!! U know what going on
I can’t as one is family still piss me offcareful,name names, i might know one of them ,or is that woodhouses
Already here for some groups'Loyalty' points ceased to be once you could pay an extra £50 for double points.
So 'ticket' points are now an unfair measure of deserving.
Ballots are coming soon i reckon.
This happens everywhere in all walks of lifeI saw 2 guys at the CL final who have never set foot in the Etihad , but had a friend who knows a player who got them tickets
doesn't make it right thoughThis happens everywhere in all walks of life
someone,somewhere knows though.The biggest scam ever is the foreign tourists who infiltrate away ends at the biggest games, how they get tickets is anyone’s guess
