Away tickets

[tedmak]

Since we had a City matters rep we have achieved.
An increase in season cards prices
Platinum sold under false pretenses
Thomas Cook guaranteed euro tickets
18 25 ballet that's not a ballet but free for all
Completely worthless home point system
ID system Thatcher couldn't implement.

Untouched
Supporter club abuse
Corporate abuse
Sponser / club partner abuse
Third party site reselling abuse
Absolute disgrace all done with no fan input!!!

Absolutely spot on - also - the proposed ‘solution’ was never mentioned on this site. We were led to believe they were thinking of no points for matches that didn’t sell out or went to general sale (not unreasonable).
Away attendees do NOT have a rep.

Ps Sorry to be a pedant but it is ‘ballot’

Has the club resolved the issue of ticket office staff taking away tickets to sell to the highest bidder? In my eyes that is stealing and touting both of which are illegal. Does anyone know how selling criteria can go from 22k to start with at Brighton to 25k at West Ham?

In response to these changes, the City Matters committee commented: “After our first season working collaboratively with Manchester City, we have agreed some changes as part of a wider review of ticketing processes.

"We have been pleased to be able to make our voices heard on behalf of the fans and have enjoyed the openness of the Club along with their willingness to take our points on board and to act on them. We feel these changes will benefit all fans and we are looking forward to further exploring ways to improve fans' experiences alongside the Club next season."

Think that paragraph is quite telling.... Basically they're shifting all of this onto the 'fans' committee so when it all goes tits up they can pass the buck and say we consulted the supporters and this is what you wanted!

So, have I got this correct??, the people who spent years and years going to games when we were garbage/ average now may not be able to get tickets for “big” games because the people who now want to watch us because we are a good side want to go and it’s the fair and correct way??, or am I barking up the wrong tree

Trying to get my head round points for home games.
You are supposed to need points for away games
It's fair to say the guys with lots of points I'm trying to catch might just have a season card.
So should they persue the new Interest in cricket i am going to gain 190 points
So I am on say 10k they are on 22k how does this help??
I'm lost here if the other 44 999 are getting the points also what's the fuckin point
Who dreams this shite up!!

I’m beginning to think these changes are deliberately shit to pave the way for a complete scrapping of the points system.

Unbelievable isn’t it?

'For a number of Premier League away matches, a limited and randomly selected number of supporters will be required to collect their ticket from the opposing Club’s ticket office.'
Do we think this will include Corporate members, Supporter Clubs allocation, Superbia, and members from the new ballot?
I am not a member of any of those, just a fan who wants to go to away matches, and go under my own steam. These measures seem to be specifically target at preventing me continuing to attend away games.

Seems that way.

It’ll be:
20% Corporates
20% Seasoncard holders
20% Supporters Club members
10% 18-25s
10% Friends of players
10% Other club tickets (those dished out to people who do podcasts and vlogs and all that bollocks)
10% Ticket tout sites

No points needed. All balloted for seasoncard holders.
