Barca away criteria

[Didsbury Dave]

I went through the old articles on the website a few days ago. It didn't sell out for 5 days after it went down to 5,000. I don't believe anyone other than a child would have been able to get 2,500 since September 2012 if they only had 5,000 at that point.

Your argument about the notice is valid, but the majority had booked flights and accommodation immediately.

There have been panics like this before which have been unnecessary so I hope this is a similar instance and most people get sorted. I suppose we'll find out in the next day or so as it gets down to 9,000.

There is miles more demand for this game than both real and bayern because it's a much bigger game. That might be a bit offset by the wembley trip the week before, but I still think it will sell out in the high 8000s. There hasn't been a buzz like this for a European game before.

Just got mine DD. Rang up first thing, to find myself at queue position 48, so have just booked it online instead. Got a disconcerting error message logging off the City site, but I've received an email confirmation, so it seems to have gone through ok

Good lad EB. I'm still sweating. But I will be there, and will get in, regardless.

A little bit and of hope for my 8360. But no chance for sons 7965.

if you are platinum you'll get that 40 points for your son when you gets a cup final ticket

There were 2 blocks on offer online, so hopefully there's a fair few tickets left. Fingers crossed for you. Mine's Block 529

go on tour of ground day before , find a good hiding place and sleep there all night

We could dig a tunnel into the ground like those Galatasaray fans tried at Shalke.

I feel for you people who have booked the flights and accommodation and have up to 9000 points but it looks like you are not getting tickets. I personally know 4 fans who have zero points (not even Blue Membership) up to 4800 points who have tickets by using friends/colleagues loyalty points. Its really not on, I think the only way to deal with this in the future would be something like this:

Every supporter on the loyalty scheme gets their photograph uploaded onto the MCFC server (similar to how your driving license photo uploaded from you passport held by authorities). When tickets go on sale for prestigious matches like this one City get to print the tickets instead of the away club. The supporters image is then uploaded onto the ticket so only the genuine fans going to the game get in. I know most tickets are scanned now but surely if there was a chance of a ticket being looked at and rejected if it wasn't the correct supporter it would discourage fans who shouldn't be there of not going. There are always City Stewards at the big away games and they could be tasked with checking the tickets.

This is probably impractical but something needs to be done, it's wrong that you lads and lasses who should be entitled to a ticket don't get in but a part time supporter on a jolly gets to see the game, any way good luck and lets hope Barca release another batch of tickets.
