Return of Supporters

Had the rags made the final they would have had exactly 250 fans there

Prestwich_Blue as a representative on the City matters group can you explain why City have put a post code restriction on buying tickets ? or haven’t they involved City Matters in the discussion.

 

[OllyMCFC]

Just to point out that the person buying the ticket will have to be the one using it. I suspect this will be very strictly enforced to the point that the police could be involved if tickets are found to have been transferred without proper authority.

Really?? It’s just I can’t see anywhere on the ticket info a mention of the use of ID, even though I thought this would be needed to match the name to the test. I was thinking as long as the one gaining entry to the stadium has evidence of a test that matches up to their own name, they would be permitted entry not a triple check between ticket name, ID and test result.

 

[Manchester33]

Too much of a faff for my liking.

 

[Tonster]

Can’t find anywhere to get a lateral flow test in the Manchester area within 24 hours of the final. Do they mean after 16:30 on Saturday? If so can anyone advise where to get one?

I noticed that too so booked for Saturday at 1.50pm (latest one I can get). I assume the day before must be fine (as no one can get any later) but have asked supporter services the question

Jibbin in won't be as easy as usual

I used the NHS site and the ones near me are pick up for home test so no good, or shut on Saturdays.

Obviously I can go a extra few miles to find one, but that is against the whole public health agenda for unnecessary journeys. They need to define what the expectations are for the LFT as near as possible to the final if there are none available in your CCG area at all on the Saturday or Sunday.

Maybe but if anyone is thinking of passing their ticket on I wouldn't have thought it would be worth the risk to be honest.

What a palaver.... count me out

 

[Corky]

Also the train back times expected etc coach departure points and any parking arrangements would be good. Will the coaches depart from the Etihad and can you leave your car there?

 

[Rochdale Blue]

So apart from jumping through hoops for a ticket I assume all transport will be dry. They've basically given Spurs 6000 tickets, they might as well have given them the lot.

 

[Danny Hoekman]

Is anybody honestly going to bother with this?!!

 

[Bluesince1979]

Did a job for a lady who works in the tunnel club yesterday.
she said the ground wont be anywhere near capacity next season.
Think she was talking 20k initially with pre game covid tests etc, no bars open.

not for me ta

 

[tedmak]

I have had a lateral flow test before and they are pretty uncomplicated.
If it gets to my points - which is possible as I am in London, I will go. Is a bit of a risk, though, as if the test is positive, I assume I won’t get a ticket refund.
I can see a lot of people not bothering due to the distance.
And I - as aforementioned - can see this being used to stop away fans going to matches.
Needs must, I suppose.

Think I read somewhere that there was an option to defer renewal til the 22/23 season but still keep your seat - hope that’s true, seems like the best option if your source is correct

OFFICIAL MATCH TICKETS

The unauthorised sale or disposal of tickets may also amount to a criminal offence and the Club will inform the police as soon as it becomes aware of any unauthorised sale or disposal of tickets. Tickets are not transferrable

If the pick up for home rest are like we get at work you get the full kit for testing getting the test results yourself so can take it 30 mins before kick off if you wanted.

The while kit can fit in your jeans pocket

I could be way off on this but I'm guessing the postcode restriction will have been imposed by the relevant authorities and not by City. In fact, I'm guessing most of the restrictions will have been imposed on the club rather than the club coming up with them themselves.
