Cup Schemes - 2025/26 | Deadline Friday 27th June 5pm

[MCFC1993]

I'm aware that we have a season ticket thread but just wanted to see what the consensus was on cup schemes next season. Who's doing what?

I was in all 3 this year but planning to drop the League Cup and Champions League/UEFA Scheme.

The League Cup is going for sure. Mid-weeks aren't great but are made worse with the lack of announcements regarding pricing, they just make it up as they go along, especially the Champions League games and for the first time since we've been in Europe I found the group stage completely tedious and meaningless.

Probably stay in the FA Cup as it's usually a weekend and costs in that competition for the last 2-3 seasons have been the best value for money.

Edit: I think the deadline is the 27th June.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I have also always been in all 3 but for next season have only renewed for the FA Cup as I know I can't travel to away matches for the other two so what's the point. :-)

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Fa cup only for me.

 

[James2401125]

All 3 for me. Main reason is to keep up with the loyalty points tbh

 

[dooie68]

I've Dropped the champions league for the same reasons as above, getting home in midweek has become more and more difficult even league games .Last week because of closures on the M6 heading south it was 4-50am I walked in the house less than two hrs. Rest before getting off to work is becoming harder the older I get.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Possibly staying in all 3 for now as we share 2x seasoncards between 3 so the extra games are handy. If I manage to get a flexigold (as a 3rd seasoncard) then I’ll definitely drop CL and Carabao. Pricing was shocking for CL this season and having away supporters taking the piss all around us has killed my enthusiasm a lot.

 

[jazzy]

All 3 for me , I am retired so no issues midweek

 

[ninjamonkey]

I would drop them but they've got me by the hook, I need to maintain my loyalty points otherwise I'm in danger of dropping out of eligibility for away tickets with how they've increasingly siphoned off away tickets from general loyalty point allocation.

 

[crystal_mais]

dropped FA Cup and Carabau 3 years ago. Have decided to sack Champs League off for next season. I missed 2 of the home games this season due to other commitments and its hard to sell them back, so I'd rather just buy a ticket if I'm going to go to a game.

 

[i kne albert davy]

All 3 for me as we enjoy Euro aways so a bit stuck.

 

[bennyboy]

I will wait and see the fixtures for next season.
See how the dates work out for my shift patterns and take it from there.

 

[cheddar404]

Me too. I'd definitely drop the Champions League and possibly the league cup but I need the points.

 

[Cravenvirgin]

All 3 for me , I am retired so no issues midweek

Same for me

 

[Mhh1960]

All 3 for me , I am retired so no issues midweek

Same. What else would I do.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

All 3 for me as we enjoy Euro aways so a bit stuck.

That’s a good point. I qualified for PSG away tickets this year on my measly points balance and I was really tempted to go. And if we get to another final I would definitely go. Well maybe not if it’s at the Ataturk.

I'm kind of in this camp and have always registered for all 3 cup schemes. I'll have c.12k loyalty points, so never going to catch the long-term hardcore supporters. I get the odd away ticket via our OSC. Fed up with the away fans in our the home ends for CL games. Would be cheaper to watch the CL games in the pub. Yet I'm still 50:50 on what I will do. Is it the slippery slope to falling out of love with the club (not the team I would add)?

Don’t even know how you can think of falling out of love with our club. For me it’s always been in the blood and always will be.

 

[City & Blue Brazil]

I dropped champions league last season but ended up buying tickets anyway so probably be back all 3 next season just to avoid having to buy tickets .

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Not been in League cup scheme for years.
Always join FA Cup scheme and European schemes.

And that's my dilemma. City have been, and always will be, my team. I just don't like the direction the execs are taking the club. Maybe falling out of love was the wrong phrase.
