am i wrong for going a bit annoyed about this? (blackpool)

[mancitymick]

Just a quck question.

Is there any reason why an OSC member can't ring up the ticket office/line and get his or her own ticket, just like the rest of us?

If not, I fully understand and appreciate the roll of the OSC in getting members tickets, who either don't have a telephone landline, a mobile phone or internet connection.
I rest my case.

On to the favourable beer prices the OSC members receive. ;-)

not if there is a group of people the osc get them all to sit together

LOL

I have a solution for any final that we reach this season.

That City do not distribute any tickets to any branches. All tickets must be collected in person at the stadium, or posted to supporters who can't get to the stadium(due to where they live, etc), on the proviso that they have enough loyalty points.

Is that fair? Damned right it is.

and if you get a ticket but cant go will you return it to mcfc or give/sell it to a family member or mate

3rd time i have asked you this question

At least everyone here gets loyalty points... I go with the club bar east stand because its cheap, but we don't get points at all. So if I wanted to go to an away game, im expected to cough up £100+. Bit of a kick in the bollox really, citys hospitality seems reasonable, but if I wanted to go on an away game I have to pay the full wack by the looks of it.

everybody who goes to an away match has to pay full wack

As said earlier, most of our travelling members would be entitled to a tkt by the 2nd day of sale, so if I am prepared to submit an application on their behalf and drive down to the stadium to pick the tkts up, what difference does it make? The main selling point within our Branch is the cheap transport to away games. We get good prices from a local coach company and sometimes double up with another local Branch.

TBH, I've never passed a ticket on for a match that's 'sold out'. I've always gone. Good try.

TBH, your trying to deflect from the real issue. Nobody is having a pop at OSC members who deserve tickets. It's those members who don't deserve tickets and get them, because they're mates with the Secretary, or whoever distributes the tickets.

Put it this way. How would you feel if you found out that a person you knew in your or any other OSC branch got a ticket for a final this season, at your expense, even though you've earned the right to one, due to the away matches you've attended and the loyalty points you've earned. Just admit it mate, it would piss you off big time.

And yes, I've seen and witnessed that scenario at first hand. And yes, I did tell him what I thought about it.

Remind me next time to get a camera to gather evidence for you. Do you issue tickets to those without enough points? thus by passing the criteria. look fans can get tickets from other means however they should be sold to the fans with the right points through mcfc first.

Why now all of a sudden. This criteria has been used for years. The camera comment was uncalled for, you could trot out any kind of story on here without backing it up, do you think thats fair. Do you think it's alright for you to besmirch the character of every Branch committee member with UNSUBSTANTIATED remarks. Believe it or not, we are not all wide boys out to make a buck we genuinely care about the branch and its social responsibility.

i agree wholeheartedly with that comment

however some members (not branches) are abusing the system
as admitted by one arrogant poster on here
and to defend them is wrong, and doing a disservice to those who are above board

I would agree with that however it's also worth pointing out that non-members also abuse the system, so the issue goes beyond supporters clubs.

I have just been PM'd by one of the lads and made aware of the bragging about tickets and I am in agreement with you 100%. If this fella was in our Branch he wouldnt make it onto the application and would be reported to Kevin Parker Gen Sec OSC

for me the difference is that it's systematic when done through the OSC

Personally I believe that it is individuals abusing the system, be they members of a supporters club or not. I would feel equally as pissed off if I lost out on a ticket to a supporters club member with insufficient points as I would losing out on the ticket to a non-supporters club member with insufficient points.

There again I'm not sure that I fully agree with the points system being used for tickets anyway.
