Away tickets

[stadiumcat]

There should be plenty of tickets available for the Everton game, for those who want to go and complain they cannot get tickets. NOW is you chance, local game going to low points.

How does it though? you can't have as many tickets as you want and if you can pay for corporate why do you need to piss about selling tickets.

Someone said something similar on the City Matters thread but I think you're not understanding the type of money these tickets go for on these sites. Easily upwards of £200 for most games, £400-500 for United, Liverpool

You honestly think citys ticket office is capable of getting tickets in peoples hands on low points before this game kicks off whilst dealing with schalke and wembley ??

Anyway, it’s now 2 aways in a row that are likely to go to general sale so I expect the people who complain most often about away tickets to make at least one of these games!

The reason it’s going to low points is because we’ve had a load of extra cup games and a cup final to pay for just after Christmas, everyone is in the same boat on this one so everybody is going to struggle to afford to go to Newcastle and/or Everton, low points or high.

Having just now read the entire thread from scratch I feel it's time to put my 2 h'pennys worth in. In the old days we turned up at the ground and paid on the turnstyle and when there was a really big game we queued. I queued for over 12 hours for a Wembley ticket for the Gillingham game, not a great system but I was grateful when I got one. And in those days the football was shite, we went because we were City fans not because the team were likely to win or even turn up. There was one season we didn't win a single away game and I went to nearly all of them.
Enough of the nostalgia. My gripe is tout sites. I couldn't get a ticket for Basel away last year and had already booked my flights and accomodation so just to see I checked the likes of viagogo etc. I went through four or five sites and found (if I wanted to pay through the nose) I could have bought around SIXTY tickets IN THE CITY SECTION. So 60 people had managed to get sought after tickets and were trying to flog them for several hundred pounds a go. And this wasn't an isolated occurence, I've checked several other sold out games with similar results. I believe there are touts who have season tickets and maximum points who buy every ticket to sell on for as much profit as possible. It would be easy for the club to find them, all they have to do is buy a ticket off a tout site, trace who it was sold to and ban the perpetrator from buying any more tickets.
And in case you're wondering, I did get a Basel ticket in the end by paying £100, it was the only way I could get one.

Sorry i missed this first time round. Its the post of the thread.

I agree mate. People’s finances only stretch so far.

My comment was more more for the posters who said they never get the chance to get to an away game (because of our Club’s ticket allocation processes) so they should still have a few quid left for Everton away.

Look at the way they give fans money back in the ticket exchange scheme; they wait over 40 days to pay fans back so that the money sits in their account long enough to earn interest.

Don’t underestimate how dodgy the club are when it comes to tickets.

I actually think the club are going way out of their way to help fans here when you consider most season tickets are paid on 10 monthly debits so you can be reimbursed for a game you haven't actually paid for yet.

Excellent point Shirley
