He'll make up for it, like you say he was gutted when we had to leave that bar, you may have gathered he likes a good sing along.

They're probably fucking working. How many can take two or three days off during the week at short notice? Great if you can but most can't.
This actually proves how much of a problem points whoring was.
He was being sarcastic about the points whores pal - they're not point whores if they're at the game are they?
If people were hoping to be able to go to this game and allowed themself enough annual leave then 2 weeks before the holiday (in the majority of instances) is more than enough time to request a couple days off.
I agree it's an issue that City need to sort out, leaving the sale and allocation of tickets so late doesn't help anyone, both financially or taking time off work.
As soon as the draw is made why can't they deal with allocation and sale of tickets, I believe Leicester have done this and it's worked a dream?
Its been claimed that they wait until corporates, players and staff have decided how many they want.
Even if true, they could still put an initial allocation (say 70% ) on sale

Good to see the club has scrapped the collection policy for the next 2 Euro aways. They have obviously taken recent feedback on board.
Does anyone think the club will let me collect the tickets in person at the Everton game rather than having them posted out? I haven't ordered yet.

Couldn't agree more. Just like the 3rd time we played Bayern and we took about 1,000.
Where are all the 'young people' (I'm 28!!) who can never go because they haven't got the points to get tickets? Surely there's a giant queue of them?
I've got some mates going who thought they would have to be in the Barca end. They can go in the City end now if they are prepared to accept the shit view forceful policing.
So the tickets situation ain't so bad after all lol. Barca won't sell out and anyone with 9k points will be able to go to the League Cup derby lol!

After paying stupid money, just to watch subbuteo through a wire mesh, occasionally interrupted by a gang of idiots fighting amongst themselves, (in neck-stiffening gale force temperatures), I've finally decided that enough is enough.
Bollocks to the points. I'm going in the Barca end, just like I did for the pre-season friendly when Petrov scored

Yet Barca has no collection. Today you can get return flights £70 from Birmingham £60 from london and tickets on general sale from Monday.
So where are all these people who moaned about the system not being fair as they couldn't get tickets?
Clearly a lot just want to pick and chose their games and only moan about games they miss out on and this is why they wont catch up with the so called points whores who flog their tickets for every game. The points whores will be in barca a lot of the people moaning its not fair clearly wont
The demand for tickets is a lot less. The points whores aren't buying them as they won't be able to shift them. Do you not think there's previously been a large number selling on tickets for European away games? Explain to me how the criteria dropped significantly after they introduced the collection.
Perfect explanation of barca away !! LoLAfter paying stupid money, just to watch subbuteo through a wire mesh, occasionally interrupted by a gang of idiots fighting amongst themselves, (in neck-stiffening gale force temperatures), I've finally decided that enough is enough.

Demand is not high as it is the 3rd time in 3 calendar years - no longer a once in a lifetime trip, just as demand is low for Swansea away these days after being very high in 2012.
The Barca experience including view and treatment by police, plus the idiots it attracts with or without a ticket, just is not worth it. Of course lots of people share season tickets these days also, and therefore a lot of them would expect not to be able to get in also compared to the last 2 times. However the main reason for much lower demand is knowing it is very poor value for money.
