let's hope GDM has a spare then!mancitymick said:squirtyflower said:sorry mate, got delayed in the Alps with the heavy snowfall over the weekend so couldn't order your ticket for youmancitymick said:It is harsh when you have paid out money to go. Similar thing happened to me when we played Schalke. I did not have enough points (Managed to get one in the end) Over time though i have gained the points. System is not going to change
looks like you'll be stood outside!
Ha, Like Roma away lol
Is GDM one of those point whores,they sometimes mention on here !squirtyflower said:let's hope GDM has a spare then!mancitymick said:squirtyflower said:sorry mate, got delayed in the Alps with the heavy snowfall over the weekend so couldn't order your ticket for you

I know a few guys who aren't going who just snapped up the tickets for the fun of it. Sold them on to pals with under 2,000 points.
The club needs to stop this. The gulf between those with high end points ie 10k and above and everyone else is just increasing because those fans are buying tickets just to accumulate points.
For european away games the club should do what they had to do with the Roma away tickets, "each ticket must be registered and used by the supporter who has purchased it" which has the names on the back which corresponds with the passport.
This could deter the point-whores
It is your chance to make the system fairer or are you mischief making ?

I've just checked - I still have a pulse although I can't be certain of my mental state.
Relatives "inheriting" S/Ts and the associated privileges used to be a problem with the rags but nobody wants them anymore.
But you wouldnt be happy if you had the points and some one was getting your ticket through a ballotbluedan said:Chappie said:Send thier names to the ticket office,if you feel so strongly,it will be dealt with, as Tickets are non transferable.bluedan said:I know a few guys who aren't going who just snapped up the tickets for the fun of it.

No no, not making mischief, pal. I have already informed Supporter services about this, for what its worth.
My main concern is that the the top tier of supporters with 10k points and above are moving further away from everyone else, year on year. I have signed up for Platinum, cup schemes etc and gone to every away game I could go for and I haven't seen any change in my chances of obtaining tickets to a barca match. Missed out last year which was sold out on 9,000 points, and the same this time on 10,000. I have gained about 1,000 within that year.
Seeing people who have jumped on bandwagon since 2009 buying tickets from the point-whores is just the tip of the iceburg and a light slap in the face.
Would be happy if the club sold 80% of the allocated away tickets in its usual format, and then the remaining 20% of the allocation goes in a ballot there after.
Just an idea.
