5 Live 7.30pm. 1hr City special

[mayo31]

I was stung twice by two different lovely city fans on this very forum. Both times were games I was attending elsewhere in the ground and I offered them out for free. One didn't return the cards so I had to cancel and pay an admin fee and one who met me his kid subsequently tried to get his pissed up mate in the ground on my daughters card and had it took off him by stewards. I had a right ball ache getting it back. If I am able to renew there's no way I am giving some scumbag city fan my tickets again and my seat will be empty whenever the 500 mile round trip is feasible.

Did you let the mods on here now, they do a good job policing the ticket part of things here.

You must have lost your tickets before as the club does not charge an admin fee the first time a ticket is lost, was you pissed that first time ;)

Listened to the show today. The first bit about the rise of the club, acquiring Yaya and Cook's comments were great.
The FFP section was appalling. The guests admitted, repeatedly, that they were speculating but continued to paint City as the villains. They banged on about the club thinking that it was trying to be clever in outsmarting UEFA but is now paying the price for naivety. I know that it is juicy subject given the profile of clubs like City and PSG but you think that the programme director could bring some balance by exploring whether it is UEFA who now have a problem.

an opt out and let the club issue a paper ticket or put it on their access card would stop that. gives them the initiative to get extra bums on seats if you're not going

Might have only been the kids I had to pay for and it wasn't much but the principal of me trying to be nice and letting people have my season cards for the games both taking the piss and causing me hassle confirmed that whenever I cant make the trip from IOW my cards will safety be in my wallets and the plastic blue seats will be empty and thus pissing people off. I understand that it looks bad on tv and annoys people on here but just trying to to highlight that the £200 or so its cost me to get to one game via ferry\car\train or plane means I appreciate that's its not possible for seasoncard holders to make it to every game especially with so many moving for TV, but trusting strangers just because they are blue isn't wise and the current and previous attempts for official ticket exchange haven't been adequate.

well i emailed the club with my suggestion for the sake of putting it out there. if by chance they take any notice then the responsibility of selling the seat and that persons actions would be on the club so you would'nt need to worry
