direct cup and you get first chance of tickets !!!

[GStar]

I am sorry but that is a load of bollocks once again.

Firstly why have you mentioned the CityCard? It has no relevance to what we are discussing.

When you purchase a Season Ticket you commit a large amount of money upfront for attending 19 games.

When you opt to join the Cup Direct Scheme all you commit is your credit card details in case we get drawn at home in one of the cup competitions.

There is no guarantee that there would be any home cup game to use the credit card details you have given the club.

Like i said, i have yet to be given a proper answer or explanation why i will be left to scramble for the rest of the tickets with those who haven't bothered to go to any games at all.

Fair enough, if i missed even one cup game but i have been to every single one of them.

It's a joke and deep down you know it.

You have been, but if you dismiss it out of hand then there's no point repeating it.

Of course Citycard is relevent... it shows how differnet membership levels have different priority.

I compared the way the league games are prioritised and showed how City have basically matched that in Cup form.

Personally i think it's fair, our attendences in the cup this season have been nothing short of a joke... add to that that any ST holders who wants to get to the final with any kind of loyalty history will get one and City have introduced a reward scheme without hurting anyone yet giving everyone plenty of notice for next season (the final may be different a bridge to cross if we get to it).

I think its a joke anyone is against it. When you sign up for the cup scheme you don't know how much you're going to have to fork out, nor how frequently... you can budget for a ST, you can't budget for the CS.

As much as you think what i'm saying is bollocks, i'd have to say every single point you've put forward stands up to no scrutiny what so ever (bearing in mind you didn't mention the one point i'd say everyone agrees should have been done different - telling everyone at the beginning of the season).

Deep down i think it's people who are pissed off they can't pick and choose the games as they like (although if they opened their eyes, they'd see that they're going to Wembley anyway).

City are the only club for whom a ticket 6 years ago still carries value in applying for a ticket today.

Yes its great from a fan point of view, but from a business point of view it makes no sense. You think the Sheik made his money from being sentimental or from being ruthless?

More and more things like this will come in, the season tickets will go up and we will complain that the average man is getting priced out of going. Its going to happen.

of course, he wants todays fans not yesteryears, which is kind of sad, but thats the way it is.

You are missing the point yet again GStar.

We both agree that those who go to every cup game should be rewarded, but then it has to be EVERYONE who has attended EVERY cup game not a minority of people.

I don't pick and choose the games i like, i go to everyone. It wouldn't matter if they were £15 or if they were £60, i would find a way of going to every extra cup game. Have you been to every cup game this season like me? If you have then don't we both deserve the chance to que jump everyone else? The only thing you have done different is given your credit card details to the club incase we get a home cup tie.

Can you not see where i am coming from? I am not someone who has watched half the games on TV and not bothered to go to them and is now kicking up a fuss because people who have been to every cup game is now jumping ahead of me even though i may have had a season ticket for the last 10 years, i am someone who has been to every cup game and is being shafted for simply not giving my credit card details over. Can you not see that? Put yourself in my shoes, imagine you didn't get the CDS form off in charge, would you honestly say you would be happy with this?

So next season 36,000 season ticket holders sign up for the cup scheme and City get to Wembley again for another semi, whats the scenario then......?

balloted

 

[Bill]

What happens if 20k plus sign up how do they decide who gets a ticket then

back to points as it should be now, except the club get loads of dosh.

Should be points anyway instead of forcing people to go down the CS scheme route to guarantee a ticket to Wembley.

WNRH to stop you whining, if you have over 3000 points and your other two pals do, well you can get the tickets when i do, anything to stop you bitching.

In an attempt to support this, groups of up to six supporters may purchase tickets as soon as 50% of the supporters have the requisite number of loyalty points, as long as all supporters have 3,000 points or more.
