Missed out on a ticket for the derby?

[GStar]

Sounds like a wind up!!!!

You're barking up the wrong tree.

I have no reason not to believe him, and if you're suggesting I'm on a wind up, you're a tit.

You sound delightfully well balanced ;)

It's laughable that you all complain and have a woman here on bluemoon about the supporters clubs but dont actually do anything to complain to the OSC.

I'm sure your complaint will be sorted out... But then again you dont getthe kudos for being yet another person to whine about loyalty points & the OSC.

A persons loyalty points must be used to get tickets for the away games.. if that said person gets the tickets then passes them on are you going to make a thread complaining about them too??

So what's the OSC going to do? Ban that branch or the secretary of that branch from applying for anymore derby tickets. Do me a favour. One way or another it will get sorted out or swept under the carpet. The secretary's who run the OSC's are a little clique. Tickets for the boys. Most of them know each other.

Put it this way. When you can pre order 10 or more derby tickets and pick them up, while people in the same queue have been told the tickets are sold out, you realise what you're up against.

And yes, I was in that queue and saw a Secretary walk out with a hand full of tickets, that had been pre-ordered.

Can I and other non-members do that? No.

Get to f***! The system stinks. End of.

'foolsgold' = pre-ordered derby tickets in advance. What is it? 6 or 7 weeks?

There are people selling tickets for Saturday for anything from £100 to £200.

Where ? If they can get Charlton for ticket touting, then I'm sure WE can get these.

Basically if you think its OK to post about it on here, then why don't you feel its OK to report it to the club ? As I said PM me the details you know, and I'll tell the club/supporters club, if it f**ks people off that much, then I'm happy to help get it sorted out.

I will say though that nobody ever moans on here about this for any other game, other than for the OT derby, funny that, personally I couldn't give a rats arse about going there, especially as every penny spent goes to the club we all hate so much, and not a penny goes to City, but that's another subject.

You're usually well balanced when i read your posts, so i don't understand why you don't see the point of view that, "if tickets are only allocated on supporters loyalty points, then why book through an OSC?"

But we've done this topic before on BM, i dont particularly want to open a can of worms again.

That's becuase you can almost always get a ticket for other away games. Those OSC members aren't arsed. However, when it comes to the derby, those same OSC members want a ticket. I know. It doesn't work like that Cleavers. :-?

Its been done before, in fact they were banned from applying for any tickets, home or away, for a period.

By the way there is no longer an OSC or a CSA, its just the Manchester City Football Club Supporters Club, they merged about 12 months ago, under one set of rules and regulations (which include ticket allocations/distribution).

It must have been my imagination.

Said secretary walks to counter.
Sorry derby tickets sold out.
No I'm x from x branch.
Wait minute.
Member of staff pulls out x amount of tickets.
Secretary walks off.

Laughable!...That's the whole point of supporters clubs...Organised groups! Think you need to do a little more research about this than making yourself look an idiot posting comments like this.
Do you expect each member of the supporters club branch to go down individually and collect tickets?
That's why we pay membership fees and vote in membership secretaries to do all the running about :0)
Our branch pro actively goes out and sells tickets to floating fans when the ticket office rings up the sec and asks him to do so..otherwise the club pays for the empty seats.
Derby day is different of course...but it happens for other big games believe me.
We also pay loads out for dinners such as this fridays Neil Young fundraiser.
We also raised over 3k for Paul Lakes Jumpspace charity last year for example...loads of these events take place every year raising thousands for disabled groups or youth teams at City.
Don't get me started on the loyalty point argument...my son will NEVER catch me up..so have to leave him at home a lot of games...Not a great way to bring thru the next generation of fans tbh...but I get on with it..although suggest improvements at meetings wherever possible, you should attend one and try it if you fel that strongly about it.

Well I can only speak for my branch, and the same members who get Wigan away tickets, West Ham away tickets, Fulham away tickets, Newcastle away tickets, got united away tickets, give or take a small few, and we probably had more for Fulham than united.
