PSG Away Ticket details - Update now 2,200 tickets available

I agree in principle, the only issue being the extra points for Platinum.

This is the first season where I’ve missed a few away games, but being Platinum, I will have accrued more points than a Non-Platinum Seasoncard holder who’s been to every one.

Platinum is one of the first things that needs to be scrapped in my eyes.

I'd say the points you get for joining cup schemes are excessive too. I've got more joining 3 schemes, two of which might not cost a penny than a year of aways back in the bad old days.

In general I do like the loyalty points system, and think it should come with rewards for the most loyal supporters. Just a few tweaks needed imo.

Chelsea have been doing it all season for their CL aways.

You've all had some decent trips then by the sound of it and they'll still be opportunity in the future should city decide to keep this system.

Napoli was a good trip, we stayed in Rome for two nights and Naples just the one. Prob not one to go and get absolutely arseholed singing city songs but the atmosphere they created in the stadium is the best I've witnessed so far.

Who knows, we could be in the Europa league next season anyway so this really won't be an issue at all.

Yeah, the more I've thought about it the more I have to agree this system is fairer but I would still like the club to show transparency with regards to how much of our allocation is going elsewhere - they need to go the whole hog on this and not just clamp down on one side of it.

They'll just have to be more creative with regards to future trips and if that means picking a less popular one then so be it. The upside of a possible Europa League campaign could be less of a demand for tickets plus some different venues compared to the usual suspects in the CL.

I know they've been doing the ticket collection thing, but I was under the impression speaking to one that the wristbands was a one off?

The rags have been doing it for a while as well.

If I'm not mistaken, I think United might have brought it in after an away game at Besiktas a few years back. From what I heard, they got something like 1500 tickets, sold them all, but only about 500 or so travelled. The rest just bought tickets so they could stay in the loyalty pot or give themselves a chance of applying for some of the more attractive games later on in the competition.

Another issue is the delicate subject of deceased Seasoncard holders (I remember United once estimating that they had around 1800, and declaring an armistice, because it was all getting out of hand)


If our loyalty points system has been going for around 15 years, then it’s naive to argue that our fans aren’t doing something similar ( family/friend/neighbour continuing to use the card etc)

Bizarrely, somebody could have been to every game, home and away for 10 years, yet still struggle for a PSG Ticket, because it isn’t their name on the card.
Not sure that's "Points whoring" though. Perhaps we need another name?

I can understand that the so called "points whores" might feel a little uncomfortable at what is an understandably derogatory term and to be honest even though I have also used it, I too feel it might be a little too strong. Would I use it in a face to face conversation with them without feeling that I am being rude, probably not. I accept that many of these will have cheated the system in the past with the best of intentions in mind, however misguided.

How about "Ticket Cheats" ?

Have no problem with the system but wonder if City could give more notice in future.My cousin and his mates wanted to go but have sacked it off as travel is so much more expensive now.I booked Eurostar last night and it was about £70 more than last week when we first looked.Think we may struggle to sell this out now as a few will be in the same boat I suspect.
