Don’t worry about it mate, the stick you’ve got here is nothing personal.
Many people have frustrations about every aspect of the ticketing system City use - including the ticket points system. It’s mostly self preservation, which ultimately means the same people always attend away fixtures, as they’ve had the privilege of doing for many years already. To be honest a hell of a lot of people think that isn’t fair either.
There’s also a lot of hypocrisy as PB alluded to. If you couldn’t make the fixture and offered your ticket on here, the most of the same people would rip your hand off, no questions asked.
Can’t believe you were charged a grand a half for two for Newcastle as well - that shows the lengths you’d go to to watch City but also what a crazy world we live in that they can charge you that. Hopefully the £30 ticket for Sheffield United makes up for that a bit.
Enjoy - you’ve got two great fixtures to look forward to and the atmosphere should be excellent for both.
