Champions League Final | Ticket Criteria | SOLD OUT

[John Wayne]

Yeah, I think so but even if just one person misses out it’s not fair seeing as they’ve enrolled on a scheme that’s meant to give them priority.

Yes. Committing to turn up on a pissing wet night in November for a dead rubber against Seville deserves a reward at the end.

That’s not quite accurate. He used the fact that city usually sell 60% of away match tickets and the rest go to supporters clubs and corporates. But that’s on a 3K allocation. In any case of the supporters clubs tickets a lot of those people will be on the cup scheme anyway.

Fair enough, I wish I had your confidence that I would get one. Like I said tomorrows criteria will tell me a lot. I’m on the cup scheme but 8000pts :-/

The thing is Dave, there are 18,000 on the cup scheme (surprisingly higher than I thought) and probably only 12,000 available to scheme members. Clearly not every scheme member will be going to Istanbul, but most scheme members know people who will happily use their ticket.

I really hope you're right, but I'm slightly less confident than I was about all scheme members being able to get a ticket. We shall see.

See my post above. I also people people are well over estimating demand due to costs and flight/hotel availability. I think these will go right down to open sale.

What’s stopping that person who’s got a ticket through the supporters club passing their cup scheme ticket down to their mates?

I tell you what fella. If you don’t qualify for a ticket at that points level you can have mine. How about that? ;-)

Nothing. Some will, some won’t.

A few updates from our meeting with the club today.

There are roughly 18,000 people on the Champions League scheme.

We will be purchasing our tickets directly from UEFA - not City. As someone else mentioned, all tickets will be mobile on the UEFA app.

In order to buy tickets, supporters will be given an access code. The club can distribute codes that only grant access at a certain time, so that we are still able to stagger sales to cup scheme members and different point levels.

We have asked the club to require supporters make an expression of interest to receive a code. This would like be done on our normal ticketing platform. The alternative would be providing every single cup scheme member, then potentially all season card holders and even a large number of Cityzens with a code. So, it should make things a bit more manageable and we are liaising with the club over potential accessibility issues to the site and tickets.

18-25 and Junior Pull through will be available and will likely also require an EOI.

As far as I am aware, UEFA will not allow supporters to choose their specific seat. Only the category.

Alex, appreciate the information and I know it's neither yours nor the club's decision, but I can predict a few issues.

Turkey is not part of the EU and as such even those with roaming packages will be charged excessively if an internet connection is required. I went to Istanbul last year and attended a Fenerbaçhe game which was a mobile ticket. There was a minor issue and I had to turn on my data briefly and it cost about £50.

By all accounts the UEFA app was a disaster last year and was at least partly responsible for the issues.

The access code to purchase tickets seems like it's going be a disaster, but admittedly seems like it's out of the club's hands.

If you're stressing this year, imagine we get to the final at Wembley next year. And a lot more will be on thr Cup scheme next year

You’ll piss 8000 and I think I’ll get one at 6000 but it’s the people that are on lower points that could potentially miss out that I’m bothered about. I can’t predict what the demands going to be like, but it’s going to be a very expensive trip so it will put a lot of people off. If it was somewhere like Munich then it would sell out on cup scheme members no doubt.

that’s very kind ;-). I’ve commited to going over regardless anyway. A ticket would be a huge bonus. See what tomorrow brings
