Hahaha Tim that's goldenThe SCs' limited allocations are sorted in advance, as per PB's thread.
Slow sales have nothing to do with SCs who take what they have been given!

It might actually, for the same reason the points whores are out of the picture. We now know that the standard process is that SC's apply for a number of tickets, get an allocation, decide how to give those out then tell the club whose numbers to allocate the points to (which isn't always necessarily the people who get the tickets). And any that don't get used, they can sell.The SCs' limited allocations are sorted in advance, as per PB's thread.

What they've not been able to do this time is buy bucketfuls in addition to their allocation to pass on to outside sources or fans without the points. Hence why they've gone to the people who actually go.

This time (assuming they even get an allocation given the tight time-scale) the only people who can apply are those who are definitely going, as they'll have to be able to identify themselves to pck up their tickets.
You missed out the main reason which was the nullifying of the points whores in relation to your first point. The other reasons, excepting the cost issue at a push, are smoke screens.
The club have got it spot on. Well done City!
