Cup Schemes - 2025/26 | Deadline Friday 27th June 5pm

[mrtwiceaseason]

Thank god im not alone, two girls 31 and 33, one has left home and is married and now pregnant, first grandchild on the way in July and i think i pay more now than when she was at home.

If it's end help you will be paying for the grandkids too .:+)

Just double-check your supporter account to make sure you're enrolled properly. I always join all 3 when I renew my S/T but having received the email from City this morning which seemed to indicate I wasn't in any of the schemes, I went into my account to make sure and found I wasn't in any of them and had to rejoin them all.

Me too, I joined FA cup and Caribou, when I renewed my Season card, then received the E mail the same as you. So I think there has been yet another cock up in I T department

 

[bluemick1]

Never been on the Cup scheme. Me and my lad are Season ticket holders in the North stand, so for cup games we see it as a chance to go with our nephews/ nieces who can’t get season cards (they would love to have). With not being on the cup scheme I have to take the chance to not not being able to get tickets for European aways just to being with family

 

[MCFC1993]

Same here.

I can get a ticket for any game at the Etihad in the CL I want to watch. I know I will have to pay more for the ticket as I’m not in the CL cup scheme this season.

Same. Might seem a bit glory-hunting but the cost savings of not going in the groups will more than make up for the knockouts when the jeopardy is there.

 

[bridgeblue]

All three for me, I say I'm dropping the champions league almost every year, but end up rejoining, I quite liked the format last year so have joined all 3

 

[inchy14]

Dropped all 3 this season, will choose when I want to go instead of feeling pressured.

CL format was the tipping point. Extra game and no knowledge of costs until they take it out pissed me off.

 

[East Level 2]

We are ditching the League Cup this year. Was tempted to drop the other two as well.

The club have to take notice of what’s going on with the fans.

An early post in the thread, well before the reduced PL prices were announced.
The club have !taken notice of what's going on with the fans", so will you reconsider?

There’s actually a bit of an anomaly with cup schemes this year, for me and maybe others. Because season tickets (flexis) were only offered to Matchday members this year who had bought x amount of home games including cup games, it now makes sense when sharing a season ticket between (for example) siblings to NOT rely on transferring the cup scheme from an ST to the Matchday member, but to buy the cup games as and when for them along with one for the seasoncard holder. In short, I pulled 2x STs out of the CL and Carabao schemes and will be buying 1xST + 1xMD in cheaper areas of the stadium so it will work out cheaper and the only downside is losing points and priority for finals.

 

[Oooh Curley Wurley]

Renewed all 3 cup schemes when renewed ST

After weeks of deliberation my mate and myself just left Chumps League tonight

Decided not being shafted price wise like last season, group stage cost £150 more than previous year.
Plus all tourists or away fans sat around us most games.

If I fancy a game will get a ticket
Do not think saving is that great being on scheme

Stayed in domestic cups

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Mine automatically renewed with my season card wanted to drop the league Cup but can’t be bothered changing it now

 

[Wallaceinthecheapseats.]

Fa cup ,and league Cup for me.Dropped champs league last year and won't be back .As a poster beforehand said like fucking Disneyland on those nights....not for me.

 

[James2401125]

I wonder with the early deadline maybe they'll offer cup scheme to match day members. It makes sense to me tbh. If season card holders can't be arsed then match day members could take up the slack

Might also sound selfish but ST holders will get tickets for the knockouts without needing to attend the group games.

Unless, and I do think City will do this, people who went to the group games get first choice. ST holders will still get a window for tickets though imo.

Or attending 1 or 2 of the cheaper group games might need to be done.

Either way the savings from not going to the groups, more than make up for the increases if you do go to the knockout games.

Ultimately, the transparency around ticket pricing for the CL isn't good enough.

 

[dooie68]

Taken up the FA Cup and Dropped the CL, getting home at 4-30am and having to be at work at 6-00, has finally got the better of me. But if there's one or two I fancy at home I'll get a ticket.

What would be ideal for CL tickets is for prices for the four home games to be confirmed following the draw and people then having a short window to confirm whether or not they want to be on the scheme.
It’s probably not practical as the first game comes so soon after the draw and if we’re at home it’s something of a race against time with the current setup to get all the ticketing sorted. But last year’s prices for the Inter Milan home game in that exact scenario definitely left something of a bad taste.

 

[blue44]

Just had the final email reminder at 16.43 with the
deadline to join imminent.
out of all three and it's so sad yet I can't afford it anymore.

 

[Gray]

FA Cup - Yes (in the vain hope it will be a Saturday match)
FL Cup - No (mid-week Metrolink no thank you)
Chumps - No (can not abide the money making, stupidly named thing)

The bad taste was because the club could easily have announced the planned prices for the other three games at the same time but chose not to, so fans didn't know what to expect. Villa set ludicrously high prices at the outset and some thought we'd continue with the same prices as the Inter game.

 

[Wirral Blue8]

I am out of all 3 Cup Schemes for the first time this season. Just too expensive and I don't like the extra game or like last year, 2 extra home games in the Champions League. Will pick and choose which cup game to go to
