There's no way 700 will stump up for this.

I think the Club have an idea on what % will take up the offer.
Personally as someone with 5200+ points, I would not complain if I missed out on away European tickets should the allocation not go beyond Superbia subscribers...they've got the points so they deserve first dibs.

something has to be done to reign in the cash thanks to mr platini, we just have to be careful how we do it.

fair enough, finish 3rd in the group, and we are in the europa league, like i say the odds of getting a midjettland an aalborg at some point is very high, if you think we are never going to play a team again with a small away end you are naive.
money is talking, and it is wrong.
Money not talking, or no money means losing to York and the likes. Money has always gone hand in hand with success. Yer can't have one without the other and some things, possibly cherished by some fans, might fall by the wayside. But I could get used to two trips to Wembers each season! Never come cheap!

Most of the people invited to joing would presumably have qualified for tickets anyway. So why pay £2500 up front for the privilege of getting something ypu would get regardless?
Like the way they handled the Family Stand (and eventually admitted it) the club have dropped a bollock here. The thing that would worry me is that they start selling these packages to new fans who can afford it, squeezing out the real hardcore loyal fans who can't.

another point, what about those that don't pay adult prices. my seasoncards still only £300 odd, and there been quite a few games this season where it's been under 21 prices and its been a lot cheaper. apart from the american pre-season and abu-dhabi game i'v not missed a game anywhere and it's never been anywhere near 2.5k on tickets. it would therefore be stupid to sign up and lose hundreds of pounds just for a fancy card and a couple more loyalty points.
unless you're an adult paying full whack in the colin bell, go on the american pre-season tours and EVERY game it's not worth even thinking about really.

you are missing the point, they probably won't have the points, if those at the top end of loyalty points dont take the offer, it is going to be passed down to the next level, until they sell out, basically meaning someone with 8000 loyalty points whom cannot afford it, wont get tickets, while someone with 3000 loyalty points who can afford it, will get all the tickets landing on his mat.
they are DEFINATELY aiming to sell a certain amount, that is why there is a supposed waiting list with the platinum season ticket.
and like i will say again, if city get a small allocation, they who have literally spend thousands and thousands over the years will miss out to someone who is wealthier but has been far less loyal.
i really cannot understand how anyone cannot see this, and it has nothing to do with loyalty.
the club should be making people aware of how many they are going to sell, because if i havnt got access to the small allocation games, despite having a huge loyalty points total then i will take a stance on my future match going, and to which season ticket packages i will commit to.

and the likes of brighton away? that was murder to get tickets for.
the op is spot on.
But the Superbia members by their very nature went to those games anyway before they went on sale to mere mortals like the majority of us and as such, I wouldn't have had a chance at them anyway.
