Never a truer word DD. Quite sad to see users who are so smug or retort with "Well serves you right for not being on the cup scheme" or "Will you be at Newcastle tonight then?"Load of rubbish on this thread, I'm afraid.
This is a forum. People are anonymous. They bitch and back-bite and wind up for fun, or because they have issues. It's always been like this on here and on every other football forum. It isn't real life.
I bet hundreds of blues have said to another blue this week "I can't get through to City for Real tickets", and about practically every response will have been along the lines of "Bad luck mate. You'll get one." Virtually nobody will have said "Where were you against Seville" or "Haha, you should have been on the scheme like us real fans", unless they are still at school.
Forums are full of shit.

The truth is that the club and its ticketing systems were 100% responsible for this. Even people on the cup scheme are saying they haven't got their tickets.
Woah there!!Never a truer word DD. Quite sad to see users who are so smug or retort with "Well serves you right for not being on the cup scheme" or "Will you be at Newcastle tonight then?"

I went to the Juve game and missed the Kiev game, i went against Hull but missed the Paris game,i am going against Madrid, the point is if i have the money in the bank at the time they go on sale i will go,i suspect that is the case for quite a few fans who are on the lower end of the wage spectrum, it isn't just a case of missing games because of not being arsed, i can't think of anywhere i would rather be than at the Etihad.
I think the point is that the ticketing systems didn't collapse for the earlier rounds of the Champions League or the League Cup. The League Cup home games were cheap as chips but I think more City fans went to Wembley than to Hull at home. A lot of City fans hide behind the cost of cup ties when really they just can't be @rsed. Remember the chant a few years ago - "If your watching on the telly your c***? Aimed at those that couldn't be bothered turning out for cup ties that were on the box.Never a truer word DD.

Some cup scheme members have posted that they haven't been allocated their seats as they should have been.Not sure what you mean by the last point though.
Us loyal fans just get our card enabled ;-)
I've never bothered checking before. Up until now I've just been receiving a text message on the day of the game telling me I'm in my normal seat. Do you think there may be issues with this one?Some cup scheme members have posted that they haven't been allocated their seats as they should have been.
So I'd stop being so smug and check before it sells out ;-)
That's because they had longer to sell them and spread out the entitlement to buy over a longer period. So there wasn't as much pressure on the systems as there was for these, where they stupidly tried to force all SC holders to buy in a 5-hour window, which completely overwhelmed the systems.I think the point is that the ticketing systems didn't collapse for the earlier rounds of the Champions League or the League Cup.
Well some people are reporting issues so I'd check if I were you.I've never bothered checking before. Up until now I've just been receiving a text message on the day of the game telling me I'm in my normal seat. Do you think there may be issues with this one?
Cheers.Well some people are reporting issues so I'd check if I were you.
Just check your account online, I've had no email, but it clearly says on my account that my seat has been allocated. People worry for nothing sometimes, but if they are worried they just need to login and check.I've never bothered checking before.

With respect I think that's a dick comment. It's people with season tickets who are having problems, people on the CL scheme and people who don't have season tickets but have been to all the CL games who may not get tickets.I think itspperfectly natural to defend the club and yourself, not sure why we are supposed to care so much about strangers tbh. Unity is ne thing, but saying that people who refuse to walk out are "im alriht jacks' is a dick move.

100% this, well said.I can afford it, I can afford to take the best part of half a day off to wait on the phone, I can afford to buy a season ticket.
What I can't afford to do is believe this gives someone any type of entitlement or superiority, over someone else.
Everybody has circumstances, everyone has their own issues to contend with, whether they be family, health, work or money.
Supporting a football club should not be a pissing contest about who has the deepest pockets.
My dad is 65 soon, one day you might be sat next to him in the pub as he nurses his pint, because it doesn't sit well with him that his son buys his season ticket, and he'll be watching it on the TV.
Maybe his son will find money harder to come by one day, as his young family gets older?
Few will have any knowledge of the years, money and devotion they have already put in.
They are a blue, and they deserve every entitlement anybody with more advantages has.
And the club need to address it.
With respect I think that's a dick comment. It's people with season tickets who are having problems, people on the CL scheme and people who don't have season tickets but have been to all the CL games who may not get tickets.
And whether you attend one game a season or every game, you're still a customer and entitled to be treated with due respect.
The club cocked up and it's disgraceful that people are playing the "I'm alright Jack" or "I'm on the cup scheme so I'm a bigger blue than you" card.
