Reality mate. It will be a corporate wonderland.If you're on cup scheme with 11k points you think you wouldn't get a ticket that's the definition of pessimism.

TBH matey I'm now optimistic about getting one with just that criteria. Been a ST since 1971, never missed a year apart from n/a covid but 11000? Yep I'm a socialist and any scheme called 'Loyalty' which charges £50 for double is an abomination to me.If you're on cup scheme with 11k points you think you wouldn't get a ticket that's the definition of pessimism.
Not a chance you won’t get one even with corporate newbiesReality mate. It will be a corporate wonderland.
Wasn’t happy paying the extra £50 myself it was just an away game tax but if you want to go what do you do, same as cup schemes but as I went to every home anyway weren’t really an issue.TBH matey I'm now optimistic about getting one with just that criteria.

We could argue all night about the merits of the platinum obscenity and no credit pre Etihad but that wont get me anywhere. I'm booked up, I'll be there, but I've always said the first big game I dont get a ticket for after all these years, I'm done. If thats this year, Wembley next year, whenever.
Don't mind losing out to people who go to all the away games, ST holders also in cup schemes, but to someone who doesn't turn up regularly as we do and pays extra or pays a tenner for SC membership (Isn't one in Preston anymore) is just unjustifiable.
See you on the Bosphorus.
Platinum is the difference between having 19k or 28k now for some. We were not given an option if we wanted to go away. When it came in it was the price of 1 away ticket, most were at least £40 by then, and most trips would end up £100/£150.Wasn’t happy paying the extra £50 myself it was just an away game tax but if you want to go what do you do, same as cup schemes but as I went to every home anyway weren’t really an issue.
Also a small matter of watching as many minutes as you can of the best Manchester City team in history and one of the top five/ten football teams ever in history. Make hay while the sun shines!I don’t think the club have ever said you are guaranteed a cup final ticket.
My 23,000+ points aside, I knew I was going to get a CL cup final ticket today as I am in the cup scheme. I could relax once I got my code.
Signed up again next season.
Cup scheme is freeI reckon 5000 more will sign up for the scheme next season. The scheme is an expensive addition to your season ticket, that’s why it puts many off.
The tickets aren't though once signed up, you don't pick and choose which games you buy your all in or out.Cup scheme is free
You've more chance getting a final ticket than not being in the cup scheme that's for sure.But you could argue that for Wembley next year, unless you have 11K plus points, you will still have no chance of getting a ticket on the cup scheme. So not worth joining. Platinum killed a lot of FOCs like me.
