GStar said:Bilboblue said:Check my other posts GStar, there has been a problem in the past with points being added when I received tickets thru supporters club, despite my season ticket being registered with City thru the SC's.
The reason I say it is disgraceful is because they have 'changed the rules' at the last minute!
Had they given everyone the option of joining the cup scheme at the start of the season, with the knowledge those in it would get tickets first, and I never got one because I wasn't in it, I wouldn't moan!
The first point will be annoying but it's not really relating to this subject.
The second i'm with you, ideally City would have stipulated that being on the CS would jump you to the top of the queue for SF/F tickets.
But then with 35/6k ST holders and 31.5k tickets available, then i think City have seen the 25k attendances and thought they'd reward the ones who showed up throughout the run rather than picking and choosing and relying on being 10-20 years older with a longer history of following City allowing them to automatically pick the big games.
I think City have chosen a good time to do this; they've rewarded the people who pledged money up front, they ensured everyone should get a ticket should they want one and they've shown that continued loyalty will matter as well as long term loyalty.
shadygiz said:chris, i think the point he was making is not the queue jumping on this occassion...his comment was in regards to bill saying the club should have let everyone know at the beginning of the season so people could make the decision then, rather than using a semi-fianl to force the issue and cream the fallout from it next season.
I can agree with that mate, i'd also hope we fans didn't need that kind of incentive to ensure we turned up.

If each team gets 32k tickets then surely I will be able to get a ticket??

I would in hindsight

A great Incentive for getting people on the scheme for next year as well.
Well done MCFC

and even still, joining a cup scheme to get a wembley ticket is a joke anyway.
throws the 'loyalty' system straight out the window.
our club is fantastic, new this new that, facilites investment.
but for the proper fans, lifelong fans who's been there all along are getting treated like shit, the club are shitting on them.
it seems now any bandwagon follower since the money has come in, and now the future and the main priority of this club.
it's a disgrace, whoever has come up with this criteria for wembley are a bunch of tossers.
