good post.squirtyflower said:ffs, just stop itForeverCity said:no mate. don't wait that long. it will be sold out by then lad.
supporters clubs have sold out there section. 6,000 today, lots more tomorrow for people with 5,000 points then they will sell out at 4000 loyalty points which will be teusday or wednesday. there going like hot cakes.
there are only 36000 seasoncard holders
last year there were 33000 and the year before 28000
there's no way they are all on the cup direct scheme or have 4000 points (which is impossible)
the club know that if everyone gets a ticket when they should then it will sell out at 2000
not everyone will want one, some may not bother
no today is gonna be the busiestsquirtyflower said:i was there, number 72!ForeverCity said:i'll relply anyway.
i am only trying to give people advice and it's up to you to accept that or to ignore it. i'm only trying to help.
You was not there today so i'm trying to Give people like you advice.
SO WIND YOUR NECK IN!
they had up to about 900 according to some later arrivals
900x6 max = 5400 tickets gone today at the most at the stadium the max
and today will be the biggest day as you have all the CDS (approx 5-6000) which are now out of the system
do you really believe there are 6000 fans between 5500 and 6000 for tomorrow?

love your work on BM but i disagree with you on this one because the club have given everyone the opportunity to sit with pals, unfortunately for you that opportunity was not today and there will be others with a similar situation who have to come on another day.
and no, I am not in the OSC, I queued up today too.
jrb said:Let me set the scene.
5 of us going. Me, two mates, my Girlfriend and my Stepdaughter.
Me and my mates are in the cup scheme. My girlfriend isn't.(she has well over 5000 loyalty points) My Stepdaughter is a Junior.
Obviously we all wanted to sit together at the semi-final.
Anyway. My mate has been queuing since 8 this morning.(I work Saturdays)
Just rang me.
The ticket office would only let us have 4 tickets. Mine, my mates and a Junior. They wouldn't let us have another ticket for my Girlfriend. She has to go down on Monday and get her own.
So we now have a situation where she will have to take the day off work or queue up after work.(fair enough) Even so, she won't be able to sit with her Daughter unless I swap seats with her, which I will do. This obviously means I won't be able to sit with any of them.
No doubt many on BM will say well that's the criteria the club has set down and all fans have to adhere to it. Well, you couldn't be more wrong.
Because as we know, the OSC supporters(oh here we go again, blah, blah) who aren't in the cup scheme, and who don't have the correct amount of loyalty points, have managed to get their tickets. Not only that, but they'll probably be sat with each other. I'll repeat that again. They'll probably be sat with each other.
So Gary, how does that work? You and the people that came up with this criteria won't let families and fiends sit together, but you'll let OSC branch members sit together. Perhaps I'm missing something? Feel free.
Please tell me about creating a family friendly club. What's the buzz word at City? The family/fan experience. What happened to a bit of common sense Gary? FFS! My girlfriend wanted to sit next to her Daughter. Your criteria wouldn't let her.
Here's a suggestion.(I'm sure I'll get a few in this thread) If we beat United I suggest you sit down with the other high paid Execs at City, look at that criteria and wording once again before the final, and try and use a bit of common sense.
Anyway, I'm bailing out of this thread. I've made my point and I've made it to the person that matters. I fully expect the usual tirade. I've just done it, so feel free. However, I'm not going to spend the next X amount of hours trying to justify my post and my actions to other BMooners. If you don't agree, fair enough. Have your pound of flesh.
that was not the case today, those arriving between 10 and 11 queued the longestBillyMC said:ForeverCity said:i'll relply anyway.

Your talking shit pal and fucking winding people up.
"They are going like hotcakes"...no shit Sherlock...heres me thinking no fucker would bother.
My advice is if you go down an hour or two after the windows open you will queue for a lot less time than the early bird folks.
