5,000 is a hell of a lot of points. We have 16 days of seperated sales and 5,000 gets you in on day 3.
But all the dates listed are for seasoncard holders aren't they?
Sorry I mis-read. Yes they are. There is a thread going on about this now (a different one) - the consensus being that SC should ALWAYS get priority as they put their money where there mouth is.

2170 Points now the EL games have been doubled. I'll be devastated if I don't get a ticket for this.

Re: direct cup and you get first tickets
if you have had a season ticket since back in the day then you will have more than enough.
Me and my m8 been S/T holders for years, but he doesn’t travel away but still has 3800 points.

For various reasons I couldnt come to the Cup games this particular Season - so cant now get a ticket, whilst some who have only gone this year can get one. How fair is that?
Some reward for going to York,Doncaster,Derby etc on freezing cold wet mid week nights when the Club really did need proper 'support'!...........................

CARROT AND STICK.
agreed. I went to every FA cup game home and away, all the Euro homes and West Brom away in the LC and really should have thought about joining the scheme but couldnt be bothered. Next year will be different.

Thought so...I have to say as a season card holder I feel getting a ticket is a reward for investing in the club but I would feel for someone who say for example can't do a seasoncard for cash flow reasons but follows City everywhere and has more loyalty points than i do...Why have a points system if the highest points owners can still lose out? I am assuming here that it is possible to amass a high points total without being a season card holder.

No matter what the Club should of let it to pure points criteria. Like they have done for every game since the points came in. Why did they not do this for the CC Semi last year??, Also advertise at the start of the season "If we get to a final and join the cup scheme you will jump the Queue" Complete FUCK UP

Re: direct cup and you get first tickets
That's me, not missed 1 yet but couldn't commit to the cup direct scheme cos of shift work. Shafted indeed.MonsallBlue said:What about us that have been to all cup games but didnt go on the scheme in case of work commitments? Shafted I guess.
Not gloating, and I mean that, but, I shouldn't say this, it has back fired on those fans with enough loyalty points that couldn't be bothered(is that the right word?) going to this seasons cup games.
Yes they will eventually get a ticket, but they won't have first pic of the seats.

Funny thing is, this is exactly how united stareted their cup policy.
Some people on here cant see whats right in front of them. Yes their will be a big uptake next season. Followed by the season ticket where you get have no choice but to sign up. You will have other options, but all of those will be .... dont go.

for those who's been to every single game, but haven't had the cup scheme due to not always having large amounts of cash in their account, that's why some don't do it. i know loads.
it's a joke, once again i know a few people who are in this scheme, but sold the tickets cause they had the points and wasn't arsed.
i know so many who may miss out with this now, my mate is currently in the process of phoning them up and asking them what the fuck their playing at.
my mate has 2,100 points, never missed a home cup game in any competition.
the bloke on the phone agreed with him, said someone will get a ticket before him cause they signed up and it's wrong.
he's been told to ring supporter services on monday.
even some of own ticket office know it's a joke.

Not strictly true that though is it...I 'bothered' to go to all the cup games but did not join the scheme...I'll get a ticket but I'll have less choice and I saw as many games as Schemer's. In hindsight I should've joined the scheme but I did not know then I would be more 'loyal' by doing so...I went to all the games anyway and accrued Loyalty points but I am 'less' loyal according to this system. Shit Happens!

if your mate has 2100 points, he's hardly the most committed, my daughter has only just turned 5 virtually has that amount.
he will get a ticket, whats the problem.

Not very happy about this. I have 6070 points, i have been to all the Europa (home) and F.A. cup Home & away) games but im not in the cup ticket scheme as i dont feel i have to justify my loyalty to a club i have supported since 1968. And yet someone with 4,000 points can now get a ticket at the same time as me...... Sure i will get a ticket, what about the fans with say 5,990 points who are not in the cup scheme who perhaps missed the couple of cup games that would have given them the required 6000 points........ THIS STINKS!

Its not true at all.....
itr backfired on all the regulars who didnt miss a game, but failed to sign up to the cup scheme.
what conclusion are you left with.....
all those that didnt bother where right, the club wont look after the mugs who decided to go to crap games against no mark teams.
So in the future why should i make the effort of changing my plans, finding the cash to go.
since i have exactly the same chance on my SC as the ones who stayed away. Id like to see the argument against that.

Didn't mean it like that.
(If you've attended all the cup games I would have a word with the ticket office. What you've done is no different to somebody being in the cup scheme)
More so those fans that have the loyalty points and assumed they would get a ticket first, regrdless of attending this seasons cup games.

I mostly agree with that. I do however have a few more points from attending those games and so will get to queue up a day earlier than I would've.<br /><br />-- Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:13 pm --<br /><br />

Attending all the cup games is not being in the scheme though is it...I can't see them buying that tbh.
