FFS it's a ticket to see a football match. Not an invite into the secret servicehammocity said: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.
