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.
Absolutely. The whole away ticket arrangement (probably every club) has needed to be reviewed for years.
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'
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
Nail on head. The man may well be brilliant at driving revenues but the club has been taken so far away from the traditional fan base it’s untrue. I first started having doubts about him when I discovered City were one of the few clubs to vote against £30 tickets for away fans.
And the club are correct there I think as in you should only get points if the person who buys the ticket is the same person that attends the game. I know of fans who buy tickets for all home and away European games to build up there points only to sell the tickets on. But are then entitled to a ticket to a final if u should make it and this may go against someone who has in person attended all home and away games in that competition and also spent a fortune on travel but may miss out due to not having the same amount of points.
You can't say things like this on here because you get told you're being ungrateful, but season ticket prices have gone up by an unprecedented amount ever since Soriano came in, the distance between the club and the fans has grown so large and fan representation is in the toilet, the Ticket Office has gotten worse at carrying out simple requests, we've tried to join the Super League and would have absolutely gone ahead with it had the fans not protested, and now we've had this "digital tickets" nonsense forced on us. There are other things as well that I won't go into here. It's nonsense.
Then give the points to the person who does take the seat. They have the technology to do this but they've just decided not to because there's a 1% chance that somebody might spend anywhere up to £500 on cup games just so they can stay at home and wait for Wembley tickets to become available.
You would like to think they have the technology but I'm not convinced. The fact it's come in now and at late notice makes we wonder if it's because they realise a lot of people can't make night games and pass tickets on and given the issues people are encountering with trying to transfer tickets to others and the increased phone traffic it presents they've bought this in because they know if they don't it'll make what presently seems to be an IT system on the brink to finally topple over the cliff
Suppose you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. They didn't have 18 months without fans in the ground to sort this before forcing it on us all.
That's if PAH will be an option!
