S/C tickets are scandalous and abused..
Could have got as many as I wanted for the semi at a premium from a branch and was offered 10 £115 tickets for a mark up fee a couple if days back for the final..
Don't get me wrong I'm no saint and would have took what I needed if I didnt already have tickets sorted(needs must and all that) But still think its wrong that blues who are genuinely next in line for tickets have missed out due to s/c abuse...

if you are aware of Branches abusing their position, why don't you name them?

A few posts here are implying that branches are applying for tickets for People using other peoples Supporter Number.

This goes on anyway but amongst Friends & Family.

If your branch is doing this without your permission then name them.

Our branch gets a minimal amount of tickets for matches, averagely around the same amount as one family would get.
An example is this seasons FA Cup Final. We got 7 tickets.

7 Tickets. What is that really?

The real issues you have as a Football Supporter should be directed towards the corporates who have thousands of tickets for this final.

Not people like me (your fellow fan) who help run a Supporters Club for fellow Blues.

I don't get any cash for this, Benefits? hahahaha..... I can't even afford to go to away games so it's rare I even apply for tickets.

Direct your issues at The FA and the corporates who regularly sell their unwanted tickets on the black market.

Name them !! If you want the names of S/c abusing there positions then just google mcfc supporters clubs , it will give you a list,, deduct maybe 10./. Off that list and there you will be left with the guilty party's ..,

I'm not prepared to name names on here as that wouldn't benefit any one!! Just highliting the fact that even with all those s/c members denying that anything underhand is going on it. Very much is...

In this case not only are s/c getting tickets for members that don't come close to meeting criteria, they have extras (and plenty ov) that they at profiteering off as well..

If you choose not to beleave me then that's up to you, but it certainly ain't fa or the prawn sandwich brigade that are shiting on there own fans.. It's so called suporters clubs

Good post Ste. I am particularly keen to hear which SC were selling 10 x £115 face value tickets at inflated prices - if that is true.

I am in a SC but have sorted out my own ticket for the semi and final because I have enough points and I am on the Cup Scheme. When I was just short of the points needed for the 2011 final, I bought my ticket outside the ground off a tout.

If its true ?? So what you implying exactly ?? Don't beat about the bush, just say what you mean!!

Iv got no axe to grind with thease dodgy supporters clubs ripping off there owned fellow fans other then the fact that there c***s for doing so...
It dose t affect me one iota as I have enough points to get what ever tickets I need for most games, and also joined the cup scheme out if convenience,I'm just stating fact, but if your that keen to know who's who or want to out me as telling fibs, give me £140 for a ticket and ask those sat round what branch there from..

Name the branch or many will just not believe you.

Over 100 from my supporters club attending and a large proportion not in cup scheme or would have the requisite points. It is the main scandal of ticketing that needs sorting out.

Name the branch or it's not true

We have had to comply with the rules on every single application.

ok
explain to me how my mate, a seasoncard holder, was able to take his son to the semi-final and now the final when he hasn't?

I think you should explain to us how he's done it.

although i have no need to
i have already explained to you and three others

Alex. People will not name and shame as they may well be benefiting from it. I take it from your responses you are a member of a Club. Be honest, Not all clubs are whiter than white

OK There is a lot of defence from those in supporters club. That means that every fan who got tickets through them had over 3500 points and met the criteria laid down by City.

There is a big difference from somebody getting the odd benefit from a supporters club and the allegation that one SC offered to sell ten x £115 tickets at a profit. Either the claim of touting isn't true or the "culprit" should be named.

Its true pal!! Iv no need to make this up as like iv said earlier it doesn't affect me at all, I have what I need legit, although iv certainly done some much deserving blue out if a ticket by getting my son (7 year old 2nd year s/t holder) a ticket on the kids thing..,
Like I said origanaly I'm not whiter then white and would have got one if these s/c tickets if I'd have needed two, iv got a m8 one, my brother (who is the friend of the s/c guy getting the tickets has took three, so you can see why iv no intention of naming anyone.... I'm just pointing out that its happening ..
Not my place to sort out what's wright and wrong, its the clubs.. But it is wrong and the S/C ticketing alication in general is wrong..
Lots of s/c members on here telling different stories about how they get them and how there distributed, says they know its wrong, but fair play for sticking up for your own.., but you know what..,,.. It's wrong

Ever had a ticket off a mate as you didn't have enough points?

Yes - And Twice. Liverpool away a couple of seasons back and the 6-1. Difference is i will not deny it.

Face it. It's a system, which for the most part, works. It's open to abuse, but in the main is fine. Like I said earlier, no-one complains

Wow is that a extract out of Mein Kampf...
if somthing for the most part seems to work whilst those who run things are telling you it works then, it most Likly doesn't work all, which is highlited when it matters...


Nothing wrong with bettering any system never mined a corrupt one..

If you want a ticket for a semi final or final of a cup competition, or a game that can see you become champions, you will try and get one by whatever means you can, and will not give a shit as to who it upsets because you want to be there, so fair play to those who have got on the phones, called in favours, or blagged a supporters club and got a ticket, you wanted to be there so put in a little bit of graft and got rewarded, you didn't sit back and wait for someone to contact you and offer you a ticket.
As has been said if you know for a fact, and not off a mate of a mates brothers cousin that something illegal has been done, then report it with all the facts and names through the proper channels, or just name them on here, but be prepared to back it with cast iron facts.

This blingy bloke seems to be on a one man crusade to slaughter the S/C.

Wonder which one wound him up so much?

Chill out - suporters clus play a vital role. Logistics, whether geographical, personal or financial dictate the amount of games some blues can get to. Supporters clubs keep these Blues connected to the club.
They are not, as some would have you believe, parasites.

If clubs are dishing out tickets at a mark up, then name & shame them or shut the fuck up.

I find it very strange that people aren't willing to name and shame branches that are touting and who used cards without permission. They aren't allowed to do that, so please name and shame.

Finally a sensible contribution to the annual "let's slag off the SC without any hard facts, because I didn't get a ticket" thread.
Yes, there are instances where some people have got tickets through a Branch with less than the 3500 Points. However, there's also going to be a lot of other Blues with less than 3500 points at Wembley with tickets who have sourced them elsewhere. (the FA, Player contacts, Club Wembley, Bluemoon ticket exchange, knowing Seasoncard holder who isn't going but is happy to points whore etc etc) We never see a thread for these instances...the SC is an easy target and just because you've "heard" the SC got 10% allocation or a Branch is touting tickets, doesn't necessarily make it true.
