Away tickets

[Tim of the Oak]

Or you could just wait until the corporates get their allocation and sell them on here if you're looking for one?

These Corporates come out with some far fetched reasons why they have got spare tickets!

does nobody realise if we didn't have corporate customers we would not be able to buy the likes of KDB? they are essential to the project.

Yep. Corporates should be taken out of the away ticket conversation. Way of the world and it's not going to change!

Thier alloaction will change, they only used to get 5%. They will only get more in the future with the North Stand expansion, and will have City Matters as the scape goat.

I think if I was spending £20k a year on a box or whatever I wouldn’t want to hear that!

Do you think the people who spend £20k and a box want to mix with the hoi paloi

Some buy tickets to pass on and make some of that 20k back

And, as usual, the people with the power and the money get the proles to argue amongst themselves so they don’t focus on them and how what they’re doing.

I'd still rather see a corporate season ticket holder at an away game rather than Thor and Knobrot who were at Anfield this year.

The issue with corporate will always be whether they are cashing in on resale sites. I'm not convinced. I'm convinced City are syphoning some tickets out and putting them on there. Nothing will change my mind on that

Sad way of the world. Money talks in everything. I wish we could change it but we know where the clubs priorities lie and it's not with those spending "just" £700 a year on a Seasoncard

It's always been the way. They have to entice people to go corporate in some way.

Same with points to some degree. If you can afford a season ticket you get extra points. If you can afford the time and money to do every away, you will end up with more points than those that can't afford it.

That's why I am in favour of SCs and other sources being allocated tickets. It gives most people the opportunity to get a ticket from somewhere. If it was points only, then it would pretty much be a closed shop.

Most supporters clubs are closed shops!

I think you could be right, or it could be the corporate recycling them
