Get in!! 3 of us had 9500 plus points and one 8800!! All of us got tickets. Thomas Cook have separate allocation.
Still going, confident I'll be in the stadium.
Nothing personal against the one with 8800 and has got on it but I think this is wrong. Ever since we got into Europe there has been questions asked about the TC trips and suspicions that if you book with them then you may get on it without having the right number of points.
I always trusted they stuck to the rules but this now confirms they don't. I can understand it, from a business point of view when TC have empty seats on their place they are not going to want to cancel a booking for 4 because one person is 200 short but tell that to the people with more points who missed out. Like I say nothing against the guy who has got on it, I am pleased for anyone who is going, and to be fair he was only just short of the 9k so it's not like he was way off.
I always had a sneaking suspicion they did this too- they must have an allocation they need to fill and therefore give to those who apply. But I think he has just been lucky with this. I haven't got onto the TC- I have 7,000. Plus, the fact that they have advertised flight only would indicate they have places left on the plane, as a result of the number who booked to go with TC, but didn't get tickets.<br /><br />-- Wed Feb 05, 2014 9:57 am --<br /><br />

I have 11460 points and can't go the game. The lad who sits in front of me asked for a ticket who only has 6000 points and asked if I could apply for a ticket for him.
I got him the ticket and he sent me £80 (£3 for a pint he said) the day before I qualified for a ticket.
I would happily apply for a ticket for a friend or anybody who asked on here if I wasnt going to the game and they couldnt get a ticket.....
So all the people moaning about not getting a ticket would not take the opportunity of a ticket from somebody with points who isnt going to the game????
I dont thnk we have sold out for Norwich yet so now's your chance to "point build"
See you at Carrow Road.....Maybe
Point about Carrow Road is spot on. It is a tough place to get to etc, and there may be valid reasons people can't go, but if you want to make the glamour ties, you have to go to the 'less glamourous' games to build up the points. I'm going, and I hope I am rewarded in the future for it. Alongside the fact that I obviously want to go...!!!
