Well at least you didn't slag me off
The Ticket system for getting FA Cup Final tickets has always been a joke
Both clubs only get 25.000
The rest get dished out wherever
Don't slag City fans off for doing what they can to get to the final

I didn't slag you or any other blue off, and I literally said I'm ok blues doing anything to get a ticket.

Talking at the game yesterday member of a OSC who is ST NOT on cup scheme has a ticket. Stated that OSC applied for over 100+ tickets and will receive them all.
To follow the criteria … if you are ST and on cup scheme with relevant points I really do hope you managed to get a ticket.

Ridiculous if all these reports are correct. I hope all those part timers and glory hunters enjoy their day out taking photos whilst those of us who have gone to every game and had season tickets for years and aren't getting a ticket have to watch it on TV.

If you apply through the branch there are no price choices. All the ticket prices are the same, in the same block. You can get your own ticket, which I've done.

I paid £115 on the first day of the ticket sales. I could have got a cheaper ticket, but I wanted L1 and a good view. I've got 25k loyalty points.

Are you on the cup scheme? Rhetorical question btw.

I came off the cup scheme last season because of work and saving up to get married. Our wedding day was planned for the 3rd June of all days so I missed the final. My season card auto renewed and I totally forgot to re join the cup scheme. My mistake unfortunately, so I'm just pissed off we have been to all the cup games bar Luton and will miss the final again. If level 2 sells out before my window opens then I'll look at getting 2 from livefootballtickets website, there's over 2k tickets available on there apparently.

If you have a season ticket and been to every game for years then surely you would have qualified on Friday and could have got one

No Tuesday mate, had one for 10 years, didnt for a few before that when they were dishing out 1000s of points for things like buying platinum membership etc. Prior to that decades of support with many years as a ST holder for which we got no credit under the current system. Might get one on tyesday butlooks like it will be 250 or give it a miss !

I have had a season for 13 years and have over 9000 points.
So you do get credit under old and new systems.
I was not in the cup scheme last season and got one just at £115 so joined this season.
Got a £70 ticket this time.
Loyalty is rewarded if you join the cup schemes.
You take a chance you might regret later on.
Champions league points added as well before this game this season as well.

Was talking to to someone at match today. First year ST holder and he has got one for final.He said his branch asked for 48 tickets and got them all. Said they don’t normally get that many. The system is a joke.

He did well to get a new season ticket this season. Don’t think anyone else did.

The system is wrong if people who don't have a season ticket are getting final tickets via a supporters club at the expense of season ticket holders not on the cup scheme.

Yep. So what is the logic behind this? Trying to understand why City would give thousands of tickets to supporter clubs which results in thousands of ST holders missing out.

There were a few years when the club was dishing out points like confetti 1500 or 1000 just for joining bloody cup schemes or buying a more expensive season ticket, e.g. platinum, which was biased towards those who could afford it. Absolutely nothing to do with loyalty.I was on cup scheme this year but the club cocked up and took me off the scheme and nobody would help ( I won't bore you ).However I wasn't too bothered based on last year when it went down to members as I assumed I would still get a ticket.Clearly, as Rammy blue and others have told us, we know why that won't happen this year ! Shame on City, but me and my son will have to watch it on TV this year. I am seriously considering jacking it in all together to be honest based on the club's behaviour with this.
 
Don't know what the proportion of ticket requests our OSC got for the final - but I'd say the 'usual' is that about a quarter of requests are filled. Some members have their own season tickets but want to sit together so apply through the OSC. Its defn not primarily a way to get tickets - we recently took a big bunch to watch the MCFC Ladies for example - but understand the frustration of those who can't get to Wembley... still have to pinch myself about the level of support we're now getting.
On a personal note, see you at the Green Man... Ole Ole

I would say it was biased to loyalty more than affordability joining the cup schemes.
Platinum i could have affirded it but chose not to.
Never regretted not joining.

I genuinely believe it's just because it's easier for the club to get rid of a huge batch of tickets in one lump. Otherwise you'd think they'd bring in some real criteria that's used by every branch.

To clarify I've got one through OSC as a season ticket holder not on the cup scheme. I feel a bit guilty, but looking at some of those that have received them I shouldn't at all.

£115 is a lot of money to me so it may be the last time I go. Feel sorry for those on thousands of points and having to buy a £250 ticket when somebody that barely goes gets one for less than half of that. Maybe even missing out altogether.
