Away tickets

[Corky]

Just


Just seems to be a lot of fuss for 5% of fans aged 18-25 being able to get 150 tickets which is nothing , nobody kicks off about how many tickets supporters clubs get or for corporate

Loads kick off about tickets going out the back door, club employees, supporters clubs and cooperates, and the allocation isn't from these.

It isn't nothing, it means 150 other fans lose out to fans with potentially no points and is the thin end of a very large wedge. Even fans with medium to medium high who are 18 to 25 lose out.

150 is 2 or 3 sales windows for the big games were we only get around 1000 tickets to points.

These tickets are taken from the loyalty pot only. The corporate, supporters clubs and other pots don't contribute any.

Without stirring up a riot, the lesser pointed fans have been complaining for years about the system but people in the higher brackets haven't given a shit, well it's hit the fan now.

To quote a famous text...

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I'm going to try and stay out of this thread now as although a Scard holder I only tend to do Wembley and maybe 1/2 others these days but everyone has been shafted slowly over the last few years.

The fans are the club, working man's club, we won't forget it, it's your Manchester City etc.....but only if we can fully control you or you have £££.

That works for the England home games,no chance for away games when small allocation. Many tickets mysteriously disappear the higher the importance of the game

Yeah no chance that united away or Brighton has more than third to points, and decreasing every season.

Might get abit I’d stick , but there Seems such an overreaction from this new rule , it’s 5% which is 150 fans from 3000 people , Hardly going to make a difference.

It’s increased the first day of sales from 22000 points to 25000 points

I was speaking out in 2008 about tweaking with link earlier in this thread. The lesser pointed fans were not bothered then, but I could see issues a mile off, and rather than tweaking the club are looking to scrap it as they don't make enough money out of away tickets as incentives.

Yeah i agree no guarantee but at least i have some indication of where we stand.With City i have just under 18000 points & my lad 14000 as of now
but we don't know how many fans sit in front of us on points.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I’ve said this before, but we as fans have no one representing us. Ticket prices, relocations, away points ..... we have no say or representation on any of these issues

Above you now?
All the corporate, regardless of points
Supporters Club members, regardless of points
People in the ticket office who flog them at a profit.
