Away tickets

[squirtyflower]

Which is why the club shouldn't give tickets to agencies to sell for away games

Exactly.
The issue surrounds the corporate ticket lark.

Some at times look bemused by it all as if they not sure what is actually going on.

I bet they couldn’t work out the Empty Seats song, nor 70,000 rags leaving early!

Guy interviewed outside by Radio Manchester.

From Scandinavia - first ever City game.
£1,500 for tickets , travel and hotel.

My rag acquaintances warned me years ago about this.

Eventually we will be priced out, if not for home games totally, definitely for away games.

We are arguing amongst ourselves with regards the loyalty points system. In fact that is a system we should keep - loyalty points.

If it goes to a ballot it will ruin any atmosphere we have and those with money will take over.

Did you ask how they acquired tickets?

The Truth is that some people with 19000+ points are selling their tickets for some big games - probably to fund the travel etc for other games.

I paid over the odds for mine last night and I'm pretty sure the fella i met to collect them, in Stretford McDonald's, wasn't Sorriano!

I actually did speak to a visitor last night and he'd bought his from a "guy in hotel reception".

Club makes lots of ticketing mistakes but let's be honest - people are buying tickets to resell...and the best way of stopping it ( the Celtic away collect in person with ID) was universally panned.

Some of us didn’t mind the ID collection set up

I did. It completely went against those that wanted to travel up after doing a days work. Made it impossible.

I saw a few tourists last night which is frustrating, but I couldn't believe the number of young lads that had got tickets last night. Much, much higher proportion than has been in previous years, which in theory isn't a bad thing.

Has the 18-25 ballot already been introduced this season? If so how many tickets were given to them?

Reluctant to have a go, but in the concourses the majority (90%) that were singing the Bobby Chartlon bit were young lads, grinning and videoing it all. Not labelling all younger supporters, but again it isn't a minority. The actions of this element reflects on all of our supporters, the club, and Bernardo Silva, but they don't give a shit.

Lets target these parasites before targeting true fans, we are supposedly being represented, this is the single biggest issue at away games, I asked a lad why he had a United bag, he just stared blankly. Not his fault, and doesn't deserve abuse, the club or whoever is passing these tickets on are actually putting these people in danger, it won't be long before someone gets hurt.

True mate. I just said some of us didn’t mind.
