Members can buy an extra 3 tickets as well as their own for non members as I did earlier

So if they're letting member buy an extra 3, surely just let anyone buy one membership or not.

This game should be all about getting new local blues into the ground for the first time, which is what the pricing would suggest. However still forcing people to pay the £35 membership fee is going to put a lot of people off.

My mate saw the ticket info and his eyes lit up at 25 quid for him and the lad. But he has to buy a membership which brings the cost up to 60 quid so he's fucked the whole thing off.

Fortunately for him I'll be able to sort him, but plenty won't and will decide not to bother
 
The BBC will no doubt be there and shoving every syllable and good wish towards the underdogs, although by the time the tie comes round we could be the underdogs. I detest the likes of Butt, Giggs, Neville et al and anything they are connected to. I hope we've got our shit back together and give 'em a thorough pasting.

I think they set their stall out a couple of years ago, that the message is that you need a membership to buy a ticket going forward.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying by the way. I just think they’re determined to stick with that policy. They probably reckon that in the long term, it will be a profitable position to have, even if it leaves some tickets unsold in the short term.

Yeah definitely mate I agree, and I don't have an issue with it on the whole because every club does it.

I just think for dead rubbers and early round domestic cup games we should be giving newer local fans every chance to get in the ground.

Just checked and the Club Brugge game which is after and arguably a more attractive fixture is on general sale, yet this isn't. Strange.

Bollocks. This is probably the only chance that many local mancs will be able to afford to watch City. Great chance to bring kids at those prices. It will sell.

20 quid for me n my daughter is brilliant value. When you consider that the cheapest adult n kid for Everton is 120 then they'll fly out to working class fans who can't afford them ridiculous prices.

Is it? LOL.

That’s my well thought out theory out of the window in five minutes flat then.

Might go and edit it and quietly skip the word ‘domestic’ in there somewhere.

Probably fairer than having some games using it and others not, in the same round, as they’ve done previously.

I agree.

We might get some minnows get the rub of the green at PL grounds that VAR has prevented. Like Salford getting a dubious penalty and sending Ortega off when Alty is reffing it.
:)
 
With this game possibly being our next win. Some jeopardy might sell a few more seats.six of my family will be there and three of us always will be. CTID

Is there any way to donate my tickets if I decide not to go?
I'm sure I saw something recently...

For what it's worth, the donate thing doesn't mean they donate the ticket to someone less fortunate, it means they sell the ticket normally and donate the proceeds to city in the community.

Which is also good don't get me wrong, but I'd like a way to give my tickets away to someone who doesn't normally get to go to games.


Edit. As it's a cup game I don't think this option is available anyway

It would be the first time the BBC sent us good wishes! ;-)
