Barca away criteria announced

Its a brilliant system, cannot remember anyone moaning when there was 900 city fans at villa under Pearce, the loyalty of those who went during the dark days is now being rewarded, anyone over 25 certainly cannot moan, most away games from 2003-2011 made open sale, and often didn't sell out
 
People who want to go badly enough will get in one way or another. Plenty of people went last year & either got home tickets or managed to pick up spares for the away end over there. It's not like it's a tiny stadium. You can't see anything in the away end anyway.

Send thier names to the ticket office,if you feel so strongly,it will be dealt with, as Tickets are non transferable.
It is your chance to make the system fairer or are you mischief making ?

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.

If you are on platinum plus the cup schemes you gained 980 points before the season kicked off
therefore 20 more points and you have 'caught up' this year's increase for Barca away, ie 1000 points

but you say you've gone to all away games
10 away league games went to less than 8000 points = 10x40 = 400 more points
four home CL games, two home FA Cup games and two home CC games = 7x20 = 160 points
and three CL away games = 3x40 = 120 points

therefore added 1680 points onto your total than last year, whilst Barca sold out at 1000 more than last year.

Hence you have caught up 660 points already, so don't lose heart

As others have said, you put in the time it eventually pays off

everyone of us who have the highest points have been in the same situation at one time or another
although you could get tickets for most games,the swamp away was out of reach for a few years but you do eventually climb the ladder
 
The only thing I find disconcerting is that liverpool, just 36 miles up the m62 gave us an allocation of 2800 and it sold out at 10000 points

Barcelona is 1840 Km away, gave us a much larger allocation of 4700 and yet it sold out at the same number of points

I really don't believe that there are 1900 City fans with the required points for Liverpool have decided not to go down the road but have decided to go to Barcelona again.

As usual the 'points whores' get the blame but where/who are the missing 1900?

There are a large number of tickets syphoned out of the allocation for this game, the same as last year

Corporate do get a separate allocation of good seats for champions league games.

they do, and they get an allocation of the shit seats too

however from last year's experience and talking to a number of fans out there I would say there was a much greater presence of tickets gained through corporate contacts than there were at Stoke the week before last

or at Roma if Stoke isn't upmarket enough for you
