FA Cup Final 2024 | Manchester Derby | Sat 25 May 3:00pm

[i kne albert davy]

I don’t see it like that, the Ashton branch which go from the pub around 200 yards from my home have regular meetings, they are City daft, I drive by sometimes and the coach is there, doesn’t matter if it’s Brighton away on a Thursday or a Saturday 12:30 kick off, they’re there.

All season ticket holders, true supporters and deservedly get their allocation. The organisers put so much work into it, Middy the main fella goes into so much detail of getting the best deals when going to European games, they fly on some really interesting routes, I think they’ve been to more countries than Judith Chalmers, they deserve their recognition 100%.

Middy's a top lad supporters clubs get their allocation as they've always done, legacy of when we were shit, lots on here blaming OSC how dare they have some tickets yet as far as I know everyone on FA Cup scheme who wants to go has a ticket. Some seem to think OSC's tickets will suddenly go to those who just fancy final. Sorry to disappoint boys and girls but there's now loads willing to pay more for their one cup game at Wembley (see charity shield ) who do you think the club will re appoint the OSCs tickets to. At least OSC members are blues.

13k out of 30k is an absolute joke no doubt that a lot will be offered in package deals train/ coach hotel/meal and ticket for x amount. Total shambles city end will be full of rags

If that number is correct - it is a significant departure from previous practice. In essence you have to be on the cup scheme to have high confidence.
And blocking off the areas near the HW line is unfair. You could be top of the tree on ticket points and it makes no difference.

but how does that impact on other members who get tickets without doing the hard miles? I drove to palace and back in the day, Bournemouth and back in the day - I was fucking tired beyond belief but I don’t expect special treatment for my mates. I got my tickets through LOYALTY points not because my mate works hard in a supporters club. If Didsbury Dave is right and only 13k out of 30k cup final tickets went on sale via the normal method are we saying that all the other 17k went to supporters club members who have season tickets and are on the cup scheme? Did they fuck. Let the club and supporters club at least issue the true numbers, but they fucking won’t

Let’s see the numbers then. So far I’ve seen a respected member on here saying SEVENTEEN THOUSAND (57%) of our allocation never went on sale. Do you really believe we have 17k season ticket holders on the cup scheme and in supporters clubs? Pull the other one. The club, the supporters club and City (doesn’t) Matters could clear this up once and for all, but they won’t. Vested interests

The supporter clubs are getting a bad name for nothing because it's an easy target ... they DID NOT get 17,000 tickets off the 30k, they probably got the lowest share of this whole lot ... but easy to blame them because most fans know another fan who said something about someone else they heard on a bus where someone else was talking to someone else ...

Where the biggest chunk of that 30k went is 13k to ST holders on cup scheme (me included in that group) ... and the other 17k went to all these other categories listed here:



But no one knows them directly, or they won't come out and tell their pals that, oh look I got a ticket to the final because I know a "club partner" or a "hospitality member" or a "staff" or any one of the others listed ... but yeah sure, let's go bash other fans who happen to be OSC members and dump all this on them.

You seem to think 17k went to OSC. LOL lots in our branch been match going over 40 years none would need OSC for a final ticket but got them through branch so they sit together, not me by the way as 10 of us got ours as we're stopping over. But if you're an OSC member you perfectly entitled to ask for a ticket whether you get one or not is another matter.

And if you’re a non osc member I am perfectly entitled to ask where the tickets go. Freedom of information and all that

I don't think anyone has a problem with the scenario you have mentioned. I think people are concerned with reports that some OSC members with very little by the way of points or attendence are allegedly getting tickets.

Believe me, in the Ashton branch you only get tickets if you have the required points and go to the meetings and the games. They don’t get as many tickets as there are members but that does change depending on demand. As an example Brighton tickets went on sale to any season card holder so you can’t say the Ashton SC who took up their allocation aren’t doing the hard miles.
