Cup scheme ticket transfer

Do the younger fans still get to buy tickets first dibs.

I am not sure but there were some at my last away game, Spurs. I have always assumed they get their tickets from older relatives who have a lot of points. I do think we have to do something to help younger fans. It makes long-term commercial sense for the club.

Could you not print off your ticket still and give it to a friend / relative to go in on your name? Or is there something that blocks that

It's bollocks - I'm on the scheme and now isolating as I have Covid. So they have my money but nobody can use the tickets - Glad ive not gone on the other cup schemes this season. I'll be binning Champs League next season too

Saying on here you can reject the ticket but still be on the scheme??? Is this correct or do you get bumped off the scheme

Absolutely. The whole away ticket arrangement (probably every club) has needed to be reviewed for years.
The points system is decades past it's sell by date, and I suspect it has only been retained for so long because it's a simple process..
Dead men's shoes has never been a fair system, particularly if the main beneficiaries are the offspring or mates of fans who either don't go to away games, or pick and choose the best ones.

They have done something, they've removed the away points. Wembley, Spurs and Leicester all went on to Citizens. As they say 'come on kids, fill yer boots'

Limited cup final tickets lol, what complete bollocks.

FA Cup and League Cup finals always go down to open sale to ST holders irrelevent of the cup scheme.

Pretty sure the CL final would have this year if free travel wasnt offered.

The club simply don’t want people passing tickets that have been paid for to their parents/siblings/friends as they think they could sell them a matchday ticket instead.

The club has been going this way ever since Soriano came in.

Maybe or it could be linked to the Blue who was savagely beaten by a Celtic fan in the City end, after a blue had sold the loon a ticket
