Just to repeat, City will balls up the sales criteria for this big time.

It will need to go to members to sell out. Even then the level 2 tickets will go slowly and might not sell. There is no point having two weeks of staggered sales to season ticket holders. Do that for a couple of days and get them out to members.

I would take a different approach this time. Do the usual but allow all season ticket holders to buy an extra ticket immediately, or even two, at the same time but only for anyone else who is a season ticket holder or member. So people don't have to wait to find out whether they qualify.

They won't of course.

I think people who attended the semi final and previous games should get some kind of chance as well.

Glad to hear you're alright Jack, meanwhile many will be anxiously waiting to book hotels/trains/flights not knowing whether they'll meet the criteria or not.

Anyone and everyone in the cup scheme will get a ticket guaranteed

So if you not in the scheme that’s the chance you took.

Those the rules, read them and weep

Let me repeat myself.

It took Arsenal less than 24 hours to get their ticket info out. It's taken us over a week! Let that sink in. Is this not concerning to you?

Especially when you consider the fact that we go to Wembley significantly more often than anyone else, this should be 2nd nature to the ticket office.

Absolutely stinks of incompetence.

Ha ha ha. Yep. Unbelievable. It’s almost as if there’s 5 weeks before the final.
Truly unbelievable

They’ll do what they always do. And sell out.

If they don’t know if they’ll meet the criteria, guess what…. join the league cup scheme. Simples.
If not, get in the queue.
Behind me

And what about the thousands of loyal matchday members, who have no option of joining a cup scheme, and no way of getting a season ticket.

I don't blame any of them for being hesitant

It's 6 fucking weeks away. What's the biggy?

We all know when the game is and kick off time-Just book your flights and hotels. Everyone will get a ticket who wants one

It took arsenal 24 hours.
It's taken us over a week.

However you want to dress this, it's an incredibly bad look and unfair on the fans who are patiently waiting to make their arrangements

What's the real problem?

The game is over 5 weeks away, they are etickets also so no post to worry about

I live a long way away & can't be confident of getting tickets. The later the criteria are published, the more expensive travel and hotels become - so I'd really like the club to publish this info asap.
Hope this doesn't make me a "moaning w*anker" - I just really want to go (whichever end we're given) - but its a lot of £ for me and my son, and need the criteria to plan.

Unrelated, I note that Arsenal are offering physical paper tickets (at a premium £) so that supporters can keep these as souvenirs. I wish City would do this - for all games: those of us who only get to a few games each season might be willing to pay for this

@FootballStubs_ on Twitter do ticket stubs for memorabilia

I'm a matchday member so I didn't have any option to join a scheme.
Can you not look past your love affair with the club for 2 seconds and put yourself in my shoes, not knowing whether to book anything or not
