City v United ticket info

[Ding Dong]

Why would they want to do that? The demand for tickets is all they really want and that is evidently there so it's a case of if it aint broke, why fix it? In the clubs eyes.

How many points do you have by the way? The derby was always going to sell out on a high number of loyalty points regardless of our recent success anyway.

I`m sorry...... I`ve only got 11860 points.
Obviously far fewer than you or all the JCL`s or all SC members or all the corporate members willing to travel by boat up the irwell.

No need for an apology.

No, a fair few more than me and I imagine more than any JCL.

I can see why you'd be annoyed as you've only just missed out and probably unfairly but I can't see this changing at all and it'll probably get worse. I know what i'd start doing if i was in your shoes (assuming you don't already).

Please enlighten me.........coz I`m fucked if I know.

Start helping "mates" out.

I feel a bit grim actually coming out with that but I'm now of the opinion that some preservation is needed for those that want to get tickets for away games in the future. This is partly the clubs fault too with the introduction of platinum, superbia and the obvious increase in corporate allocation.

I'm getting married next year and buying a house this year so my away games have been reduced from say between 8-12 domestic and at least 2 European to zero European and a solitary away game this season (Villa). I knew that this sacrifice had to be made as my money was needed elsewhere and I have no regrets, however, I do regret not bothering with platinum and becoming a "points whore". It seems that the majority who can are and there's no shortage of takers for the tickets.

Morally it's not right but nobody will pat me on the back for my morality when I'm watching Arsenal v City on the TV rather than being at the Emirates will they??

Actually he would be better off joining a Supporters Club
Then he'll get a ticket for big games regardless of his points total

Haha, not sure if it's said tongue in cheek but it's a statement that I'd say is true.

Surely the flaw in you`re master plan is....I`ve not got a ticket myself so I can`t "help a mate out". And all the popular aways , I want to go to and unpopular aways, only true fans want to go to.

So let me make this clear......Anybody in the City section of the swamp with over 12000 points fully deserves to be there and I do not have a problem with them.......It`s anyone with less I have the problem with.

Blimey you seem to have proper issue with the S/C strangely not many had a problem when we were shite, I've been a member for 30 years and funnily enough have a shed lot of points by er going to a lot of games as most in our branch have done for years.we get a lot less tickets now than we did 15 years ago when nobody wanted them yet we still took a coach to most away's. so i think its pretty fair that the supporters club gets an allocation attracting people into long term support is what its there for and the club recognise this.

What chance does an independent traveler have when you've not only got corporate allocation to deal with but you've got systematic ticket allocation abuse from branches too?

You've got to get involved in that systematic ticket allocation abuse yourself in the hope it preserves your previous loyalty or else you can kiss goodbye to the enjoyment of traveling your way to away games.

Or of course attend every game.

JCL
I've been a member of the supporters club since 1973
I just don't like the random allocation of tickets when we have a loyalty points scheme linked to a computer system that could allocate tickets to sc based on points and not who knows who

And I'm offended by the likes of you who make too many assumptions about me and cover up the mass re-distribution of tickets that goes on through the sc
