Away tickets price cap next 3 seasons

[Bill]

This is what I've heard will happen

they might do for 10% of tickets but that's it. oh and if they do the middle pointers will never catch up. with 10% less tickets available they will sell out at much higher point level. so the same faces will still be going. as they always will.

 

[Bill]

very strange argument strategy you say it is fair and then point out why it isn't

clearly it is not fair and as others have pointed out it is actually stopping younger fans attending, by definition every one in a ballot has an equal chance of a ticket

why should someone with 1000 points have an equal chance with someone with 5000? what you mean is the bandwagon jumpers want equal billing. sorry wait your turn. I did.

And they will continue to look down on those who don't have as many points and whom they deem not as loyal. I am not naive but the sheer selfishness and mean spiritedness of this group's posts about the Bournemouth allocation has surprised me today/

I wonder why the corrupt BBC who sheltered child abusers for a generation chose to broadcast outside the Etihad to report on the welcome cap on away ticket prices, then subsequently made the point that three London clubs were planning to freeze ticket prices or reducing away ticket prices? Boycott the fuckers.

Ask any rag about the ballot there. It makes fans have to purchase top price season tickets to ensure they get an away ticket

I have only ever heard those with hardly any loyalty points complain

As for youngsters getting tickets. My lad is 16 and has about 8000 points and has only missed the cup final as he was working in Spain. He asks about and chases tickets and I do also. I have 9500 points and not missed a match in the league this year. I been going since 1977 but for a number of years for various reasons could not do away games and missed a few seasons altogether home and away but now I can so i join the race. Never done platinum either.

Football fans will always get tickets

Anyone a spare for Bournemouth?

I don't know of one blue that "looks down" on another blue. not one. if anything, I and a few others do our level best to find tickets for people. ask on this forum, go on ask how many times I have got tickets for blues. you are stuck up and pompous and know nothing about me or the rank and file city fans that go to games.

Probably because BBC sport is based in Salford so why not choose the Etihad.

I go to which ever games I want so it doesn't effect me either way but this system is being abused by point whores and even by the club itself ie selling points.
The people with high points clearly advocate no change but they fail to see how this flawed system is damaging our away support, since my first season ticket in the sixties never has the average age of our away support been so high, this club has always innovated with our young fans but that is now being strangled by this badly managed points scheme.
We went from ticket stubs to points at a whim of the club and we could just as easily go from a points scheme to a ballot in the same way. I know loads of lads who went to every away game when this club was on it's arse in div 3 and were priced out and who can never realistically get back on the away game scene even if they wanted.
Do you count them in with the bandwagon jumpers?

If you concerned about a young following would you advocate a ballot for say 16-20 year old?

Could put them in a block and see what happens

'you are stuck up and pompous and know nothing about me or the rank and file city fans that go to games' . Pots and kettles?

Just read the holier than thou attitude of those who have mega points and the way they think they are superior to others because of their higher points.

You said yourself that 'middle pointers will never catch up the same old faces'. My problem is the self satisfied looks those people have on their faces.

Make your mind up
