Can someone briefly explain what’s happened as I’ve missed all this. From what I can see, Madrid home tickets went on general sale to all members with no loyalty point criteria. Is that correct?

Yes. and there's a feeling people may have bought memberships just to get tickets for this game, which should not have been possible. The club will know how many instances of that there are.Can someone briefly explain what’s happened as I’ve missed all this.

Because they are aiming at the tourist market. Regular fans are seen as a nuisance.Probably been said before but why didn’t they apply the same criteria as the Bayern game?

There are multiple coaches from Parks of Hamilton and Eire every game, seems like loads of kids. makes me wonder if the club is looking to grow its fan base all over the UK, starting with kids who become City fans for life, their kids etc etc still quite bizarre seeing loads of Scottish flags and I saw one kid in a Celtic shirt.Against Arsenal, it was a coach load of kids from Yorkshire, who actually started a yaaaaarksire chant. But normally it's Scottish kids, but I don't mind them as they are usually under 11 , they actually watch the game and most of them seem to know more about football then some of the FOCs like me lol.

That’s pretty much it. Sell 40,000 SC to make sure there is a base then leave the rest as a free for all. Keep them cash tills ringing.Because they are aiming at the tourist market. Regular fans are seen as a nuisance.

Yet kids in Manchester can’t get to games … and lots of local schools aren’t given tickets. It makes no sense

Did Season Ticket holders not on the cup scheme get first dibs to secure their usual seat?Yes. and there's a feeling people may have bought memberships just to get tickets for this game, which should not have been possible. The club will know how many instances of that there are.

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.Yes. and there's a feeling people may have bought memberships just to get tickets for this game, which should not have been possible. The club will know how many instances of that there are.
They must have known there’d be huge demand for tickets for a match against one of the very great clubs in world football. Loyalty must be rewarded for a fixture like this.

It’s not about the game but more the ‘match day experience’. Those fans who come to a one-off game are more likely to buy the club merchandise and spend the money in City Square as it’s a once in a lifetime event (probably).
Schoolkids from outside Manchester are more likely to buy souvenirs than local kids from Manchester.
We‘ve had quite a few yanks attending games near our seats recently; families who have spent big in the club store; it’s getting more and more prevalent.
it doesn’t bother me too much - it’s great to see the ground full but the ticketing criteria does seem unfair when people can jump the queue ahead of fans who have attended all the previous home UCL games.

That doesn’t make it right or fair though. Without our core support, the local kids and people who have attended for years the ground would be half empty and it wouldn’t be the same club.
How’s it fair that kids who aren’t city fans from Scottish schools are getting tickets, but kids from Local schools don’t get tickets?
There’s loads of long standing blues who couldn’t get tickets for games like arsenal or Madrid as well… yet there giving away rows of seats to non city fans (not just schools)
It’s completely wrong and if we stop winning things no doubt the club will try and get the long standing fans back.
