European away games ticketing policy

[Tonster]

Exactly most people on top points probably didn't even realise they were getting points for away and home cup games 10 years ago they've only become "fashionable" the last 5/6 years

Spot on both. For all those saying that young and old blues will NEVER be able to attend City aways there were loads of fucking spare seats near me at Swansea and Bucharest in the last few weeks alone, let alone all the games that made open sale or didn't sell out last season.

There is the opportunity for fans to attend away games, several games during the season do not sell out or go down to very low points. Granted these aren't the biggest or most attractive games but then again nor were the midweek one's when we were shit but where many of us build up our points.

So somebody who was 5 in 2003 (when the system was introduced) and now is 18, with his first paid job and is now allowed to travel to away games should not have any chance of going to away games so the dads army can use there discounted railcard?

Your blocking a whole generation of blues the opportunity to go and watch City away which is a right of passage. Small percebtage in a ballot and weighted loyalty points based on recent attendance is the best way.

yep. just when I was 5 and impatient to be 18 and in my first paid job.

what goes around comes around.

exactly.

spare seats and spare tickets are there, points too, just that jcl's only want certain games.

I applaud the club here they've listened but people cursing about the possibility of ballot are the same people who will have criticised the current system can't do right for wrong it seems

Two different issues. Not that bothered about collecting my ticket in the destination - normally a minor inconvenience if organised properly.

Where were all the higher pointers then who cherry pick the United, liverpool, Madrid aways which sell out at high points??. Why did they get yo low points???

No different to the rest then. Going to football aways is like anything habit forming. Surprisingly fans who are not in that habit are unlikeky to pick up the slack in Bucharest.

Come on bill when I hit 18 and im sure the same for you it was a lot easier to go to away matches. The problem is unique now for kids hitting an age where they can go away regularly.

I was there along with the usual hardcore you see everywhere (if you go). That's the point, we were there, no one else could be bothered. I thought these fans were desperate to get to aways with NO chance of EVER getting one? Swansea ain't that far if you're so keen to go. That's how you get points, go to the games when you can.

Agreed been based around the negativity of the Celtic game , the club have to hold there hands up for that

correct. the points then, like now are irrelevent. a by product of enjoying a hobby.

Got to be honest until last 4 or 5 years never really bothered when we played Santander one of the lads coming with us didn't have a season card so we just waited until they went on open sale and I walked in ticket office bought 4 never bothered with points.Of course we weren't quite as good then.
