That won't be true. I know people who thought it was shit in Paris who went through the process themselves. Their hotel was in the North of the city and they had to travel across the whole city to the South taking hours out of their short time there to sort their tickets out and when they got there there was a queue taking more time out of their shirt stay.The only people who disagree with this system are point whores or JCL's.....
What if flights/trains are delayed and there isn't time to fuck about travelling across a city to get tickets sorted at random sites at very late notice? People could miss the match.
What if people are travelling by coach and it breaks breaks down and 50 people can't get to the hotel to get their tickets?
Tickets should be sorted out and in people's wallets before they get to go over to where they're travelling to because anything could happen to delay or stop the collection.
I do agree there are plus points but it will piss plenty of people off this.

Had the game been on the Tuesday I wouldn't have got my ticket as they stopped 45 minutes before my train arrived

United have done this for years, and have started it for league games over here my mate rekons
We don't have to follow what they do though do we? And before I get accused of being a WUM or a points whore (well I am the correct gender!) I'm just asking why we have to follow them: if they put their hand in the fire would you? As the saying goes!!! :-)
It doesn't really matter to me as I've got enough points to get my ticket anyway & all earned by going to matches myself, apart from 2 matches when I was ill & had already bought the ticket! :-)

You know my thoughts on the process mate.
The club is making an easy task incredibly difficult and someone with an ounce of common sense needs to step in and put it right.

Would never work for domestic games as lots of fans only arrive in the city within an hour of kick off so not practical to do.
Whilst I have no problem with them doing it for euro aways they need to come to us ie a central point and not having 2000 blues trading across a city wasting a morning or afternoon in the process.

Well I'm neither of those but I'll miss out under this system cos my season ticket isn't in my name and there are plenty of people in the same boat.
I took on my mum's season ticket when she moved away after she had it for only a year and have paid for it and earned points on it ever since (2004) Never changed the name on it as never occurred to us at the time that it would be a problem and when it did, city refused to swap the names over.

Which is why there should have been consultation with the fans who regularly go to the Euro awaysWould never work for domestic games as lots of fans only arrive in the city within an hour of kick off so not practical to do.

I know three lads who share two SCs because of how expensive it's become in recent years. They each go to a certain amount of games, share the cost three ways, but one of them will never be able to go to a Euro away because his name's not on any of the tickets.Well I'm neither of those but I'll miss out under this system cos my season ticket isn't in my name and there are plenty of people in the same boat.

He can go in the home end. Far better view at places like Barca!

They could ask people for a picture at the start of the season and print the picture corresponding to the name/number on file on the ticket. Then they can be checked on the turnstile. Less hassle all round.
