Away tickets

[Chappie]

I don’t think it is unreasonable to expect the criteria to be out by now.
The fact that the announcement was made so soon after the Millwall/Everton match suggests to me that this contingency had been lined up with Everton. The allocation will have been known as well. (Should have been).

I was responding to a message that was put on this forum at 0637 am this morning not 47 minutes ago.
Research first before you reply.

are you for real,game announced on Sunday afternoon and you expect the ticket criteria by 0637 on a monday morning !!!
Perhaps Everton haven't sent them yet
Do you work on a Sunday?

Very real of course the criteria should of been out the minute everton got knocked out .
Do you think it suprised city it might happen on saturday.
If the workload is there and deadlines need to be met i work sunday as overtime like everyone else.
No body at city needed to work sunday just press a botton.start selling today how hard can that be ?

If you want to see points whores in full flow, check Daz Clarke's Facebook group. Tons of Newcastle tickets on there. That's a lot of people who've had to bail last minute!

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

I've just been checking, following a tweet from Supporter Services advising people not to use unauthorised sellers. Helpfully, it directs you to the official website which lists the official ones. We all know about Thomas Cook but it seems there are 16 others, which was surprising. Here's the link: https://www.mancity.com/news/ticket...18/june/man-city-unofficial-resellers-tickets

These include viagogo, who I thought we'd got rid of. I checked these for Chelsea tickets in a couple of weeks and was horrified. Don't forget that these are authorised sellers so presumably have these tickets from the club. One site, RCI, was offering a ticket in CB324, which is just an ordinary seat, for £252' Face value is £59.50 so it's more than 4 times face value. There were loads in 93:20, which are just premium seats and don't include any food and drink, some priced at over £300, which is probably 3-4 times face value.

Other highlights included tickets in the Commonwealth & 1894 Bars, which offer seats on the halfway line in tiers 1 & 2 of the East Stand, plus a programme and VIP Parking but nothibng else (food & drink separate) for £450. Another (American) site was offering an off-site package (meal in Manchester then transport to ground and back) for $686 (c£525) that the club was offering for £300.

Even worse, there were loads of tickets on Stubhub, which isn't an authorised partner as far as I can see and therefore acting illegally in reselling tickets. Tickets in 93:20 were going for just over £300 on there. Sell the Big 5 games on there at those prices and you've made your money back for 93:20, for which prices range from £1,215 to £1,370.

One of the reasons they advise you not to use unauthorised sellers is that you will pay inflated prices yet the club seem to exercise no control whatsoever over their authorised sellers, who charge inflated prices.

Unbelievable - didnt know any others existed outside of the exchange! It appears that they are all corporate packages which to be fair, i think if any average joe rings up city with some interest would be able to purchase!. I dont see any general sale tickets for sale on Viagogo and not sure a regular ST holder can sell on there?

Clearly it isn't, on the basis of that. I shall be having a word on Thursday at the CM meeting.

Nice one, I look forward to hearing how they can possibly explain this.
