Does anyone else feel like this?

[Chappie]

YES. did you? And someone else on here is more worried about filling the seats on his bus!

I am not worried about filling a bus I am quiering why I couldn't fill a bus this season, but could last season for the same match.
Can you explain to me why supporters who qualified for the Liverpool match last season don't qualify this season through the loyalty points .

Maybe other fans have gone platinum; been to European games; & therefore increased their points. All I know from experience is that our away fans are true, loud singing fans - they are not “tourists”

(& as the previous poster says (which I’ve just seen) maybe our allocation was reduced by the opposing clubs

That would account for 10 of them

The people I am referring to are all on platinum and attend all home matches and cannot be overtaken by fans.
You do not get points for attending away matches anymore.
Totally agree with your last sentence if it is for one of the less attractive matches .
Today was not one of them.

We argued amongst ourselves for years as the number of tickets available to lifelong Bkues has diminished.

i actually think this is a social problem - I have a young daughter who wants to go to many a gig - constant queues to try and get tickets (we’ve never managed to get a single one)

Yet we can go on the resale websites and buy one for £100’s and £1000’s over face value

is this a club problem or the legalised touting through the after market ticket agents. This is something we need a football regulator for to create laws on resale of tickets above face value

 

[fitzy blue]

Just leaving anfield now feel rather deflated not with the football but with what I am now witnessing and have been for a while people I know who have followed city for years couldn’t get a ticket today yet I witnessed empty seats
Probably because these football sites couldn’t sell them on at inflated prices, tourists taking selfies all game which will only get worse and police treating us as scum. 1973 was my first game and I think this season will be my last can’t stomach it anymore it’s becoming a piss take now, I will always love the club but it’s becoming less attractive every week anybody who knows me knows I travel extensively all over Europe and England but I think my time’s coming soon to watch on the Firestick with a brew and sandwiches anyone else feel the same

Bit depressing reading this mate.
I was there today and have been going even longer than you have.
I Don't like the way tickets for away games are now distributed, but it happens at most top clubs and at the moment we're at the very top.
This game was always going to be a tourist attraction, weren't too many at the Luton cup game last week, or at least I didn't see many.
These times won't last forever.
When the chelsea fan and new part owner of man u gets his wish and we're knocked off our perch, a lot of 'tourist' fans will disappear.
For me, the good parts of following City far outweigh the bad parts.
Personally, if health aIlows me I couldn't just stop going, and think you might find it tough aswell.
See you next season.

There are already laws in place regarding reselling football tickets. It is against the law to sell them on at any price, even below face value , unless you have the authority of the issuing club.

Make of that what you will.

Thanks - I never knew that

Not sure how city (or any club) would enforce their authority unless you got into the hassle of showing ID with tickets like we used to in CL away days

I feel the same. Look we've done the hard yards, we were there to be counted when we were skint and the club really needed us. We've lived to see the club become the best in the world and win countless trophies, playing the best football I've ever seen us play. Our time is done.

Exactky how u feel, I can no longer get away tickets,, but frankly I don't give a shit,, I'm more than happy now watching in the pub,, I'd had enough of the fking sham it's become along time ago

True words.

Reading some of these comments it looks as though a new club could soon be formed similar to the rag sox at Moston.

Maine Road FC anyone?

Everyone gets tickets however we can. Most of us on here have accepted a ticket off a mate when we didn't have enough points. There's a lot of buying and selling of away tickets on Bluemoon and Facebook. Nobody who had enough points for today's game wasn't a Platinum season card holder. Plenty of "genuine" fans who were there today would have got their tickets through supporters clubs. I don't see why the tourists paying £400 online are any different to you.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Im still walking on cloud 9 after Istanbul. Won’t ever leave me. Love City. Dont pay that much attention to who is around me. I don’t throw the towel in after a point at Anfield too. 93:20.
We fight to the end.
#CTID

I agree. I don't think this thread would exist if we'd won today

 

[Gingers Dad]

It’s the tourists doing charlie that really get on my tits.

Are you talking about your sex life?

 

[Gingers Dad]

Well tell the Twat to give the ticket's to the loyal hard core support .
I have run buses everywhere and normally take a coach to Liverpool with 72 on it, I took one today with 35 on it.
They are taking the piss out of the loyalty scheme holders.
How come 35 people who qualified last year didn't this season.
Stop defending the club,they are the cause of our real supporters not being in the ground.

It was a reduced allocation

Passionate post but would be a shame to see the loyal fans start to disappear. You're right though we have seen it all with some of the very best players playing for the blue shirt.
