Exactly this. There is no conceivable way the club aren't aware that doing it this way is a complete shambles and blatant money grab. It's not even subtle.
I've heard on here that City Matters have no say or influence on ticketing?!!! I mean come on!!! It's one of the most important aspects of the fan experience. They have to be challenging things like this. Let's have dialogue with the fans but we'll tell them what they can and can't discuss. Hard not to view it as anything other than a box ticking exercise if that is indeed true.
I'm fortunate and have a ticket but briefly logged on at 10:30 out of curiosity to see how bad the chaos was. Over 45k in the queue tells its own story.
