Champions League Final | Ticket Criteria | SOLD OUT

Yes, I don’t know if it was possible.

I have no reason to doubt the person that said it was possible. The OSC insisted that people wanting tickets through them had to be match day members for a while but this might not have been maintained.

Hope you are well and enjoy Istanbul if you are going. Please bring the trophy back.

Thank you, I’m flying out next Friday afternoon to meet up with my mum and dad who are going on Tuesday with their friends.

When it was paper tickets, they could be passed on.
The seasoncards could be passed on.
The mobile tickets can be passed on.

As I said earlier, the only way to stop tickets being passed on is 100% name checks at the turnstiles. As my kids' primary school head used to say "Life is unfair and the sooner you get used to that, the better".

The difference is that the tickets will be in the name of the person who ends up with them so identity checks would be pointless. Not that it matters because they would never correlate tickets with their rightful owners anyway. It would cause too many delays. So you’re right that we’ve got to accept that there will be a proportion of tickets going to people who don’t deserve them and there’s no point moaning.

No confirmation yet mate, but the consensus/kangaroo court of the bluemoon forum reckon it will be around Wednesday 7th June.

Thanks mate - disappointing for me but good to know

If anyone not using/used their code, they could go in and see what tickets are available.....
(I have my ticket but would be interested to know if it goes on open sale tomorrow)

Only cat 2 showing available.

I guess it depends how many cat 2s there are. There could be a lot I suppose.

Why should supporters clubs get ANY priority? Why us a City fan in a SC more worthy than one who isn’t?

If it was left to me they and hospitality wouldn't get any.
All tickets bar 5% for staff would go through the loyalty points scheme.
I would set a side 10% for 18/25 and 15% for a ballot for Season Ticket holders who don't qualify through their points .
So if a match sold out at 16000 points any Season Ticket holders under that would be eligible to go in the ballot.
If City want to grow the brand do it at home matches and stop penalising the core supporters.
All the above is hypothetical as they won't allow it to happen anyway.

Unfortunately I’ve not booked carry on baggage so it is unlikely.

Going off previous posts based on last years allocation there's potentially 3k cat 2.

Possibly but based on this thread the writing is on the wall for the, “integrity of the points system.” This thread could be construed as an advert for ballots. That’s not something I want by the way.

Just put a handful of City staff on away gates to check tickets, if the person using the ticket doesn't match the person who bought it then a lifetime ban on away tickets for the purchaser.

Any ticket sold to OSC would also have to be used by someone in the branch if not the OSC get a season long ban on having any tickets.
Spot checks that will literally be writing a ticket number down and someones name from photo ID will hold someone up by a couple of minutes. they can be checked against purchaser at a later date. Its not hard to implement and will sort all this shite out.
