FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

I don't think that's possible

It’s not and if somebody tries to double dip, the Branch gets their allocation reduced for future games.

It’d be interesting to know which branches it is that receive every ticket they request without apparently requiring supporters numbers and then hand them out to all and sundry. It’s definitely not the branch I’m a member of. Always lots of accusations but never any actual evidence.

Blues will be advised to use routes via the M1 and M1 Service Areas, United will be advised to use the M6 or their nearest Tube line.

Why would Mancunian’s use the M1….?? ;)

All because SC get them and distribute them to all on sundry. Plus wud not surprise me if ST holders who are members of SC can also get tickets via sale from City.

The OSC doesn't distribute them to 'all and sundry' and you can't get a ticket through both the branch and the club, because the OSC's have to provide Seasoncard or Cityzens membership numbers when placing orders through the club. Anyone attempting to double dip gets referred back to the Branch Secretary and, at least in the branch I'm in, that individual is then barred for applying for tickets for the rest of the season

We did for the semi final against the dippers.

I’d assume that. They’ve sold very few season tickets over the last year or two, I do know that, and they must get a fair bit of “churn”. I think they want to make more money and grow the fanbase by selling the tickets individually.

He also said that we have 40 something thousand Cityzens members now whereas we used to have hardly any.

I know of at least a hundred Cityzens in China, of which about ten maybe attend a game. They just want to belong and contribute

I agree Bozzie. Also, the main purpose of Branches is to expand the Club’s fan base.

I think most posters on Bluemoon got fed up with a small minority trying to divide Blues years ago.

Thanks for clearing that up. I still dont think its right that SC are given tickets for cityzen members before it goes out to all others ST holders.

Can we still get train discount with Avanti as we did with Virgin?

Not for years.

I know people like to come on here and tell us that their Branch with 15,000 members only receives 2 tickets for most away games, but I can say first hand that I've got loads of pals who've barely missed an away game this season through the Supporters Clubs.

I understand why we have them, but the truth is that people who've been to every home game this season are gonna miss out to people who never go
