5 home games 21/22 to be able to buy a ticket for United game !?

If it fills up Forest on a Wednesday night or the third round of the Carabao, I’m not going to complain.

 

[SWPISHOME]

So people who go to more games get a better chance of big match tickets.

Or is that a false statement.

I agree with you. But i also feel sorry for people like @Impeccable One as he lives so far away, He does well do get to as many as he does in all fairness.

The problem I have is I often had trouble getting some tickets last season yet when I get into the ground you see people that you certainly haven't seen before constantly recording themselves and taking photos ect in top of opposition fans being able to get their hands on tickets in the home end. I think that's bullshit.

Do points not count for the big games or does the Cityzens card not deal in points.First come first served.

You’ll just find people will buy the cheapest tickets to make up the 5 if they can’t make them then probably not bother

I think it would have been better to do it by Cityzens points otherwise what is the point of that?

Buy hospitality. That’s what the club expect for “foreign” fans. Logic being if you pay that much to come over what’s another 150 quid or so,,

I have and do, for some games .... but do you know the cheapest price for a hospitality seat for the United game, WITH NO FOOD OR DRINK !? .... try the best part of 300 quid ! WITH FOOD & DRINK MORE THAN 400 QUID !

I'm sorry, I love my club, I'll be in Manchester at the time, but I'm not paying those amounts. If we're away in the CL on the following Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll go to see that instead (flights and ticket will probably be less than the 300-400 quid)

THIS IS DISGUSTING.

I attend 4-5 games per year, some away in CL, when I live in Atlanta, GA, USA. Last year I attended 3 home (Crystal Palace, United, Sporting CP) and West Ham away. I even got to Porto the previous year for the CL final !

Last week I renewed my Cityzens and booked flights for the Sep/Oct to cover the home game v United. And now the club tell me "I'm NOT worthy" of being able to buy a ticket for this game as the criteria is 'must have attended 5 home games during 21/22 .... WTF !?

Is it right for me to be angry ? or should I just chill, and accept this is the new City, that makes decisions not in the best interest of their overseas fan base ?

Gutted for you having booked flights and respect for your dedication - that's a long way. But I suspect things will ease up. We are not long out of restrictions and have made a massive signing, so City are bound to capitalise on demand. Will that intensity of demand last forever? Well, we're heading into a recession, international travel is in a mess, folk are getting worried about Covid again, and there's always the chance the Rags get their act together a bit this season. All these things could knock demand for hospitality and encourage the club to be a bit friendlier to fans who really want to be there, instead of this blatant chase for the fly-by-night pound.

west ham away
league cup or prem ?
if it was the prem how did you get a ticket for that
league cup was midweek and bigger away alocation

League cup when we couldn't get a shot on target to save our lives :(

AGREED, but seems 20 years of average up & down loyalty, counts less than 5 games last season :O

They’ll be the resales of tickets listed for those season ticket holders that can’t attend. Better than an empty seat
