Someone with over 20k points could just have easily got a ticket & passed it on to someone who's rarely been to a game. Unless you have names on tickets and those names are checked, there's no way to stop anyone passing on a ticket to another person.Surely not.
Non seasoncard holders getting tickets ahead of seasoncard holders?
I would expect that most of the cat 1 and 2 will have been taken up by club affiliated people - families, sponsors, employees, hospitality etc.Could still be 3k tickets left then, cant imagine many chose that category when all the others were still available.
I read - second hand - of fans trying to sell access codes for £500-£1000, and another of trying to sell a ticket for £2000. Probably a lower category ticket too. It could be bollocks but personally knowing the one allegedly selling a ticket for £2000, all I will say is that I wouldn’t put it past that fucker!I’d understand giving it away, but selling it? Seems a bit of a cunty thing to do.
My son falls into this category, I admit. He's 14, been a member since he was days old, now unable to get a season ticket, been to over 30 matches this season, all home CL games, all but one FA Cup and quite a few aways. I'd say he deserves one, even if he can't get on the season ticket ladder - there's lots of things unfair about ticketing IMO.How many supporters club members don’t even have a seasoncard but have a ticket for the final?
To answer the second question, I think it will have been a high percentage. I know of people who did it.
If what is being reported is true - that 7,000 were siphoned off for the OSC and the club - the remaining 13,000 have nearly all sold out at the end of the cup scheme criteria. We've had people say that there are 14.5k - 18k people on the cup scheme. Without knowing how many cup scheme members will be at the final, it becomes difficult to predict how many codes were passed on. But if half of the cup scheme members were to be in Istanbul, it's not inconceivable that 4-6,000 could have done it.
why don’t you name them if that’s a fact
Think he did…. Gibraltar supporters club ha hawhy don’t you name them if that’s a fact
These must all have been snapped up pretty quickly hence the roaming gangs of “Parisian youths” trying to gain access to the stadium illegallyLiverpool published the % split for their final last year and there were only 16% in Cat 2 so about 3k tickets. City didn't specify but imagine it would be similar.
Did you not ask for their passports mate? Ha ha ignore the bollocks on here pal. Everyone knows it goes on and this chap is branch chair of an OSC lolBecause I’ve got no idea what they were called. I was just talking in the hotel bar and asked them how they got their tickets and this is what they told me. They knew it was a joke themselves but they are hardly going to stop the gravy train.
My sister has 23,000 points but didn’t join the cup scheme as she was expecting.My son falls into this category, I admit. He's 14, been a member since he was days old, now unable to get a season ticket, been to over 30 matches this season, all home CL games, all but one FA Cup and quite a few aways. I'd say he deserves one, even if he can't get on the season ticket ladder - there's lots of things unfair about ticketing IMO.
Miles Jupp tells a joke about him trying to buy a ticket for the final day‘s play of the 2005 Ashes series. He approached a ticket tout and asked him how much a ticket would cost. “How much will you pay?” said the tout. Jupp thought about it, decided he really wanted to get a ticket and said “no more than £250”. So the tout told him to wait a minute and then started shouting “I’ll pay £150 for a ticket”.Who is this guy that he manages to get hold of so many tickets for so many games. And we wonder why away games sell out at such high points. He also seems to have plenty of home tickets.
