Away fans / tourists in home sections

Wembley can be a problem.
I have been in the away ends at Bolton,Burnley and Southampton.Still get emails from Southampton about tickets.

I’ve actually been a home fan in the away end.

City v Blackburn at Maine Road.
Big game
Sold out and couldnt get a ticket.
A friends sister worked for C.I.S.
Got me 3 tickets - promised we wouldnt jump up if we scored.
Getting a load of shit from the North Stand - i was smug as fuck.




Richard Edgehill scores and we jump up and down and was surprised of the amount of City fans around us in the Blackburn end (i shit you not)

We all got escorted into the North Stand and stood at the back

If anybody knows the date or the score that would be apprciated

Not sure about the game you’re on about but I remember the game in 2002 when we came back from 0-2 down to rescue a draw right at the death. My Blackburn supporting mate was in the away end and I was at the back of the north stand. We were in the ground early so my mate casually strolled into the home end and we went for pre match pint together. He casually strolled back into the away end as the teams came out for ko. The stewards didn’t give a shit!
 
Ticketing Compliance (so a bit broader than this thread) is actually on the City Matters agenda next Monday (14th October). I've had a lot of comments from supporters already on touting and third party platforms, but would welcome any further comments.

@jrb has done a lot of good work on this and the example above is a great example for me to use.

Good story that. Think it was in 1999 the season we went up with Royle. I was at the game too - can’t remember who got our other goal. Think Kiddo was sacked as Rovers manager soon after

How many City fans considered registering as a Bratislava fan on their website when our small allocation was announced?

Also, I've spotted dozens of Glasgow Rangers fans at big CL games at the ETIHAD.
Who will they support if City get drawn against Rangers?

It happens, and occasionally (United v Celtic, United v Galatasaray) it comes back to haunt you.

I registered as a Porto fan for the Chelsea CL final and got tickets :-) They keep sending updates on how the team is doing :-)

Same with Southampton and Brighton ..

A simple, ‘is there a possibility that you just sell tickets to City fans?’

If City are so insistent on not giving a shit about who has tickets for City games and they let any **** in who supports any old cunty team to sit in the City sections of the stadium, please can the condition come with a stern ban on any and all club colours (shirts, scarves… anything, everything!) of any other club in the home sections… only City colours should be seen in the City ends.

Also, if they can refrain from jumping up with their team scores and then kicking off with Blues who dare to tell them to sit down and shut up, that would be nice n’all.

Ideally, City would sell tickets to City fans only in the City sections of the stadium, as per their own Ts&Cs, but they don’t stick to that.
 
One issue is that the club has priced out thousands of fans especially those who are relatively local. In turn their kids haven’t been exposed to the game as their parents were. You only have to look at matches from the 70’s and 80’s to see the thousands of kids in the kippax. So now the club had to outsource tickets galore to third party agencies who don’t care who they sell to. Equally the club takes the piss with away tickets by giving hundreds to companies / ticket agencies who have no affiliation to the club which is why you see fans of other clubs in our away ends at many games or people with little or no interest other than saying they were there.
Rags in front of me at Liverpool last season, a family of Chinese at Arsenal where the wife spent most of the games sat down on her phone, a Spurs fan next to me at Chelsea as he hates Chelsea and wanted them to lose. The list goes on and it’s beyond a joke how the club treats the fans. The Real Madrid fiasco is another game that springs to mind and don’t get me started on the horrific pricing for the CL this season.

How about this?
Someone I know well, who is definitely NOT City is doing work at the ETIHAD.
A conditìon of his company being allowed to work there was that he paid for 2 seasoncards for the tunnel club at a total cost of £20k.
He only goes to one game a season and lets other people use them the rest of the time.
Something wrong there on a couple of levels.....

I suspect the company received a heavy hint that buying Tunnel Club seats would "encourage" the club to favour their bids for work.
It's not even remotely legal but goes on in many industries. Better make it 116 charges and this one could stick; unless it's bullshine.

Any feedback on what was discussed at the meeting last night in relation to ticketing?
 
I can’t remember 100%, but I think it was Mönchengladbach at home in 2021?

There were loads of Mönchengladbach fans in SSL1.

It was getting a bit tense, whether it was the Mönchengladbach fans themselves or the stewards, the Mönchengladbach started heading towards the SSL1 concourse where the away barrier is. There was quite a few of them waiting to be transferred into the away end. As they were waiting on the concourse next to the away barrier, the City fans started chanting, “Why the fuck are you still here to the Mönchengladbach fans. It was getting quite tense on the concourse and eventually the Mönchengladbach fans were allowed into the away end. There must have been about 50 of them, maybe more. They just kept on coming from the SSL1 terrace when the away barrier was opened up.

It is a shit show Madrid at home last year was terrible. European games seem to be worse than others but considering the clammer for tickets for this one, it was shocking how many were in the home end. I was behind a few going up the steps to my seat. One had a Madrid scarf on whilst talking to a steward looking for his seat. Him and about 5 others. The steward asked him to put his scarf away. That's it. The club know it happens and the club don't care. But if you are let a mate who is a blue use your ticket and they have a craft cig with the hundreds of others who do, then you will find yourself banned. City don't care.
