Game in 3 weeks not even any ticket details yet!
I realise that us supporters are seemingly an inconvenience to the Ticket office but do they have to be so blatant with showing it?
Given the new rules there will be people unsure if they will qualify for a Ticket holding back on purchasing flights but watching them increase in price day by day as we get closer to the match.
Leicester who have no experience of champions league football announced details for all their away games at the outset so why are we so inept at anything ticket related

It's an absolute joke mate, as you know i took my nipper to his first Euro away (PSG) last year and couldn't get a ticket due to the new ticket allocation kicking in, which is fair enough i might add but to leave supporters hanging on like this is ridiculous?

I'm now reluctant to book anything until i know i've got a ticket so like you say all flights going up day by day, i've pre-booked my hotel as it has a free cancellation included but apart from that i'm just sat waiting.......a joke!
 
How do you know it's coming from City's end? Who's to say it's not something on Barca's side?
 
There should be a rethink regarding the team's who need to qualify. These games should then be played at the end of the season. The draw made in June. This gives all fans as much time to look for flights and accommodation. But hey Feck the fans
 
I've got no qualms about the new ticket allocation system but at least give supporters a chance by releasing information sooner, yet again no consideration for fans taken into account before making decisions. Let's just make a decision and then make things up as we go along shall we?.......
 
It is farcical. With the new ticket system there's no way of knowing for many if they'll get a ticket, so no one is going to book flights, accommodation etc until they know the points criteria. To still not have that information three weeks before the game is due to be played is not on. I'm sure that was a factor in Spike having to cancel his Barca trip.
 
Absolute disgrace from City this one. I've been waiting on details for weeks, unsure whether me and my old man will qualify for tickets.

Over the past week, the flights have increased by a good 50% as well. See what the club has to say when we don't take half the allocation this time round. They never learn.
 
Surely leaving things this late causes them so much unnecessary work for themselves by mucking everybody else about, fixtures were released weeks ago now , booked up regardless but end up in the Barca end if need be

It seems we are able to sell home tickets almost a year in advance but can't be arsed selling away tickets in a timely manner.
They stopped giving a fuck about the fans quite some time ago now.

It's not beyond the wit of man to have sold these and Gladbach early so that fans can make plans, but the ticket office don't give a monkeys. It's probably a part of their plan to sanitise the whole experience so as not to upset the jcls who don't like the raucous behaviour of some fans.

Looks like it'll be £65 a ticket - no concessions.

Whats your source for that pal?

It was strongly rumoured on here they were going to be £108 last week.

Whilst £65 is still a lot of money for a shit view in a crumbling stadium, I can justify that a little easier than £108 which would have resulted in me watching from a bar on Las Ramblas.

Supporters clubs have said thats the price mate
 
They leave it so late so the corporates, players, sponsors can put their orders in and we just get left with the dregs and pay through the nose for travel or have to do the club trip if we want to go. Binned these off this year to do the league cup. At least I can get there when I want
 
I only have a couple of thousand points, with living overseas, its hard to make them.....not even gonna get a lookin when they go on sale :(
I'm going to probably do the Barca ticketshop variant..with a big jacket on.
Using the passport of my missus...
