I am a season ticket holder and a OSC member
It’s not bullshit ! they may have only got to go on yesterday and choose but you got told a week ago you had been successful and would have a ticket so I guess easier to organise travel/hotels etc
For clarity I was eligible on the first day so chose to purchase mine independently because I wanted to buy a more expensive seat
 
Done! Didn't hang around, it seemed to be shifting fast. Got Row 9 in Block 524, so very happy with that. Fairly central, and considerably closer to the front of Level 5 than I was for the rags game (to be fair, I did fold on that very late on, had decided I couldn't afford it and then cracked when I saw the one seat available).
The situation — but that was fifteen minutes ago! — seemed to be that some blocks had about 3 left, others had several hundred.
I think there's a good chance of it going to all season ticket holders later on this afternoon. Good luck, guys.
PS Didn't see any £75 seats available, but as I say didn't hang around.

That’s not what you posted
Just shit stirring
Branches were allocated there tickets last week but under no circumstances could you just buy a £50
The branches had to request what cat they preferred
Then if fortunate enough to get what they wanted still had to go on yesterday or today at specific sales times
Que and but like everyone else with no certainty of a ticket or ones sat together
But don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story

Think you're splitting hairs. All the poster said was that the person in question got one through their OSC branch last week for £50. While that might not technically be true as everyone who applied through the OSC had to log on yesterday at the earliest to buy their ticket, OSC branches WERE informed last week that they'd been allocated the tickets in whatever price category they requested, and if that particular branch requested the £50 tickets then that would've been communicated last week to all members of that branch who had applied. In other words, everyone who applied through the OSC found out last week if they'd been successful.

A Few Good Men if it was a genuine question ;-)

This is true, to an extent - there will be some who get tickets via an osc who are not seasoncard holders or even members, but the majority are especially north-west OSCs, most are running buses to every game packed with members, and very few get their full requested away allocations every game. The system means if a branch has 100 members, 75 have season cards or memberships and 25 of them dont apply, means that the other 25 members who are part-timers can get a ticket off the back of that as the branch will apply using the 75 with SCs or memberships. You can’t get around that, even if it feels unfair. And back in the away points days there were plenty on high points who were selling away tickets throughout the season to keep boosting their totals, not least on this forum, which was equally unfair.

But the argument that a majority of OSC members are all JCLs getting tickets above regulars is bollocks. And the fact is that as of tonight there are still tickets available to non-scheme SC holders tomorrow seems to suggest a simple solution to those moaning about it. If you’re a regular fan with a SC and want a ticket to a final, join the schemes.

you can’t get tickets through the OSC without also having a match day membership or season ticket account

I said that’s bollocks. Which it is.
Agree with most of what you say btw.
