Seat Counters - 2024/25

Up to a couple of years ago I got a Liverpool away ticket. Since we stopped getting points for away games I haven't missed a single point that was available. It now sells out 1k points above where I'm at.

It’s getting close for me now. There were about 300 or so left the other day when it dropped to my points, yet I’m still doing Platinum and all the cup schemes.

I don’t think we can necessarily put it all down to points no longer being awarded for away games though. I reckon more were starting to get creamed off from points holders before that decision and it’s just gotten progressively worse as time has gone on.

I’ll give the Rags their due. At least they give a breakdown of where their away tickets go and the percentages, whereas with City it’s clouded in secrecy.

No I'm not putting it down to points not being awarded for away games. I'm just questioning how I've been overtaken by so much when there are no other points available.

Only City know the answer to that question.
Factor in also that we received more tickets for Anfield this season than the previous 2 and your still missing out.
The plain unpalatable truth,that so many are blind to, is that we are being shafted by the club we support.
 
I went backwards in away ticket priority due to the 18-25 allocation. I have no gripes about that as I support getting more young blues into away games.

I don’t like Old Trafford and Anfield so it’s not a big deal.

The thing is if all is fair and well you should actually move up slightly due to natural wastage with people stopping going all together and others deciding age is a barrier for travelling away etc.

I have no horse in the race, apart from Wembley I turfed away games in years ago but it's obvious the pot is getting smaller year by year.

I am on a mailing list of a OSC from using their coach a few times and am occasionally along with other members offered an away ticket at times. Now assuming it's 2/3 per branch surely they could easily fill them without offering them out. What I do think happens is when 'partners' return tickets late on they're fired out to branches at very short notice.

Now if that's happening those 'partners' shouldn't be offered tickets originally after 1/2 times of this happening (same with ex-players etc) but I'd guess these tickets are coming back from sponsor firms who are the proverbial noodle partner and it must to in the contract to get seats for every game if they want them or not.

Anyway, I've rambled on enough.

I think this definitely does happen sometimes and if it's at very short notice, it's not logistically possible for City to sell them through conventional means so that's where the SC branches can help out.

I got talking to a City fan at Newcastle away this season and he said he'd gotten his ticket (actually it might've been the previous away game that this happened but it was at Newcastle that he told me about it) at very short notice through a branch in Scotland that he's a member of. I suppose they could've been SC spares where some members couldn't make the game at the last minute but it might've been returns from partners. He did add that he lives nowhere near Scotland but joined that branch pretty much solely for the reason of bagging the odd away ticket that he wouldn't qualify for himself. A kind of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" stance. And to be honest, for all the various criticisms of away ticket policy/SC allocations, etc, I don't blame anyone for maximising their chances of getting away tickets.

Did it not get to Cityzen members? I reckon this will be the same personally.

You’re probably right mate. I don’t normally bother tracking it but we had one of ours with not many points on scheme, non stop mithering for me to check and it eventually got to him. Assumed that was near the end but never looked again.
