Return of Supporters

I feel for you pal but there always going to be winners and losers.
10k into 55k doesn’t go and it’s crap for guys like you.
The man responsible for me being a Blue also lost out and he’s also been going 50+ years.

I lost out and I’ve been going for 45. That’s the way it is. I don’t begrudge others being luckier then me. An email telling me would have been nice though. That is a bit disappointing for me.
 
Absolute shit show
Club could have done this so much better, it's piss easy to set up an automated "yes" or "no" email to generate and at least send a courteous message to supporters to politely inform them of the result of the ballot.
Very disappointing and moving forward this may occur next season a lot if we get another lockdown.

Season Ticket since 77 just short of 22k but hay ho just if it was going to be a ballot why not a full ballot seems strange, like you say easy for the club to send e-mail saying unfortunately you've been unsuccessful thank you for your support over the years was all that was needed.
For everybody going have a great day will watch with mates who haven't got one either in the pub.

Look lads and lasses it is what it is...please don’t be falling out amongst ourselves over this. We are City fans, part of the City family.
I was also in the cohort that almost had 22,000 and didn’t get a ticket but c’est la vie. I have the consolation that because of supporting City I have travelled all over Europe, even celebrating the birth of my Great-Granddaughter on a European trip in a Christmas market in Germany! Any City fan I bumped into that day heard about it as well!
There’s nothing we can do about it and I can appreciate it’s frustrating but you win some, you lose some.
It’s like I said the other day, I’ve had a Premium Bond since 1956 and never won a penny so I just knew I wouldn’t win a ticket. :-)
Please don’t be falling out. Let’s just be happy that we’re still on course for a treble and we won a match tonight.
Sorry to be a Pollyanna but life’s too short. :-) :-)

This sums it up perfectly. Good grace and lots of common sense.
If anyone enters a raffle or any form of lottery or ballot they are not informed if they have not won or been unfortunate in the draw.
Stick together and direct our ire at the revolting Rags.

Very gracious and absolutely spot on about the disappointing lack of communication. I'll always follow the boys in the light blue shirt but it all feels so distant to me now.

What matters to me was being there when we dropped like a stone and fought our way back up the ladder, culminating in the greatest moment of all in 2012. Being at Stoke in 1998, Gillingham in 1999 and Blackburn in 2000 is worth a lot more to me than a socially-distanced and masked 5th PL title lifting when the whole season has been watched from the living room.
 
I’m pleased for anyone who has a ticket. I have 19,000 points and wasn’t lucky enough.

Those who got a ticket enjoy the day and watch us lift the trophy.

Also I better not see any tickets on sites for inflated prices.

Yeah.

Would have loved to have been there after 14 months away but hey ho! You can’t win em all.

I was at two out of three missed the Blackburn one through playing in a Sunday league semi final(which we won) watched in pub, City might have found out and blackballed my ballot entry. :-)

ID required to match the ticket so I’d hope nobody is stupid enough to list a ticket.
 
I’m more bothered about missing Sergio’s last game than watching us lift the trophy. I’ve seen us lift 4 other league titles and loads of cups over the last 10 years so it’ll make a change watching it on TV but I would have liked to be there to see Sergio break Rooney’s one club Prem record (which he will) in his final game. But I had the same chance as everyone else and shit happens. No point moaning.

Help. I am 75 years old and have had my two Covid jabs, but only have a cheap mobile phone and haven’t got a clue about using it for tickets.

Will I still be able to attend if successful in the ballot?

Despite the ballot information earlier this week giving a print at home option, the email they send says it is now phone only entry.

Also they sent the health questionnaire to your phone too, good luck with that.
 
My dad and few of best pals got one, I didn't. Gutted but have no real gripes about how it was done.

I'm just shy of 21k and know they'll be many with tickets with much less but i don't think this should of been treated as an away game. ST is valid for home games and think best way was for ballot for all interested ST holders.

Mainly gutted about sergio.

Happy for all blues who have one..

Delighted to have got a ticket but at the same time gutted for my mates who haven't. Feel very lucky to be there next week.

I'm gutted for everyone who has missed out. I entered more in hope than expectation and was amazed and delighted to be successful. I have over 12,000 points but I realise this is small compared to some at the top of the points chain. I did however start going to games in 1968 and have done lots of hard yards throughout the divisions when loyalty points weren't around so I don't feel guilty getting a ticket, just genuinely gutted for those just as loyal who didn't and I sincerely mean that.

Now I have to try and work out this weird way of storing my ticket and paying for it. I've downloaded some Google pay thing but my bank has sent my verification code to some now defunct phone and I'm bloody lost. I think I'll contact customer services at the club tomorrow.

Especially those who’ve attended a few games. Maybe they’ll recognise a couple of players
