City v United ticket info

[RACHACE]

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??

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.

Of course where the derby is concerned, you'd not be able to but I'd suspect that with your points total that the derby is the only game this season where you'd have not got a ticket on your season card. Had you have helped a few pals out this season, you'd have got a derby ticket.

The blues that are at the derby who don't have 12000 points won't give a shit about whether you have a problem with them.

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

Said with tongue firmly away from cheek

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.

I've been making these points for three years, but everyone just blames the "points whores" firstly on here now elsewhere

As I posted earlier, before my fellow mod waded in, between last year's and this year's derby there have been 1940 points available, max
Yet the sell out point went up by 2000

I can't sit and read posts on here saying "you go to games and you catch up" anymore as this is patently not true for certain games

No.....Also missed out for Chelsea
But you only have to look around at aways these days to see the problems.
At Liverpool the other week I was surrounded by Mediterranean types who neither belong to a SC or , more importantly, were not at York away.

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

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.

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

In that case you're very easily offended is all I can say mass re-distribution I don't think so I don't know how many all the branches put together for the derby got but I'd say less than 10% of the total and of those the vast majority would qualify in their own right all it doe's is usually allow us to sit together. corporates on the other hand I'm afraid that's the way its going to go while we're good like it or not. and yep I'm a JCL joined in 78 but had a little break from away's when kids were young like a few do.

You must have been slow to miss out on Chelsea mate didn't think it sold out until 11k

I'm never offended by JCLs, they know no better
Corporate has been the issue this year IMO
However you insult the intelligence of other posters when you claim the tickets go to those who would have got them not their own points anyway

Let me ask you, are you aware that branches order 30 tickets, for example
They get twenty, so they then get ten members with enough points to buy the additional tickets

Or, as is the case in at least three branches, members are on Friends and Family and the branch buys as many as it can get on there as well as their allocation

How about my local branch that got eight tickets for Burnley, which sold out at 9000 points, when the highest points holder is on 7300 points

Or the young lady I met in Barcelona at her first ever City game having got a ticket through her boy friend's branch, but that was one of those games no-one would go to

It sold out at 11 1/2 k ...... I got there in my dinner hour [12pm] sold out at 11am. But at least I know anyone who went down that morning had enough points to get one legit.

Yes mate I'm aware that branches put in for allocations 30 for Burnley received 8 most of us in Branch got our own we qualified in our own right fair enough some fell short and got one of the 8 it filled the coach and increases the membership those who got them are all season card holders. and yes I know branches have people on family and friends ive got mates on my family and friends to get tickets you have to have the points total though so club won't stop that. like i say our branch as been taking tickets for donkeys years when the club were struggling to sell out.

 

[Dogtanian]

If only i had the money to get platinum instead of gold and get double loyalty points...more money = loyalty

You have completely mis read and then moved to the fall back position of 'we' have been taking tickets for years when the club struggled to sell out
Typically defensive clap trap covering the abuse going on at the Supporters Club, you a politician?

I said a branch asks for thirty, they get twenty, so they back fill by getting their top points people to buy them for themselves

The eight at Burnley were given to a branch where no one had more than 7500 points

Lots of people have been supporting the club for donkey's years, including me, and have been going to games when they didn't sell out, it's not just the SC you know. Your next gambit will be all the charity work they do, yawn.

Why is it that the branches know their allocation before they go on sale? How do they no what points it's going to sell out at?

Why was I sat next to a non seasoncard holder at the swamp for the 6-1, but he was a branch member

All of the ones who went to that game from the branch, apart from me, had never been to a league derby game
