They can cancel these tickets and start again. Everyone knows it is a glitch.

And I don’t resent 18 to 25s being allocated tickets. I thought the blend in previous matches was a decent balance.

As angry as people are (I'm on 26,800 so very angry), let's not direct our anger at the 18-25 lot. Yes they've got more tickets than they should've, but where are all the other tickets going.

781 out of 1725 is an absolute disgrace.

This means 944 tickets are going to people a lot less deserving than the 18-25 scheme.

This lot can fuck off to the back of the queue:

Seasonal Hospitality Members
Owner
Board of Directors
Football Management
Players
Club Officials and Staff
Former Players
Club Partners

I understand that these are important people, but absolutely none of these people are more deserving than the fans who've spent thousands watching this great club.

I reckon sponsors will represent a few hundred tickets too.
I will never begrudge a proper fan who ends up getting tickets. But it does seem wrong that a somewhat disinterested employee of one of these companies could end up with a ticket (over a fan who's been going home and away for 15/20 years).

1,725 tickets.

Where have they all gone bar the small allocation to the traveling fans?

If Sheikh Mansour wanted a ticked I wouldn't begrudge him one. He's spent a bit more than me.

Agree with the sentiment though.

I get your point, and this is obviously an extreme example, but it should be about loyalty.

I don't care if you've spent Thousands on a Box, or hundreds in the club shop, or even spent hundreds of millions on our club.

Was he at Sevilla at home in the wind and rain?
Did he make the long journey down to Southampton twice, forfeiting any potential sleep that night?
Did he go to Copenhagen, and have to sleep in the airport because he can't afford a hotel room?

Probably not. I did all of these this year because I'm loyal.

Also I bet I spend a higher percentage of my income on city than the Sheikh does.

He's spending £300mill on the North stand expansion. ;-) And building you a hotel. :-)

Good to see the spirit of Peter Swales still influences everything we do.

 

[James2401125]

Take the corporate and sponsors tickets away and re sell them. Everyone's a winner :)

You know what, for the hotel alone the guy can have a ticket haha.

But the guy is worth 17 billion.

300mill/17bill = 1.7% of his networth

It'd be similar to me spending £2,500 on a new kitchen or something.
