Would the Celtic games not be the the kind of game that fans want to keep at the front of the queue for? Therefore very few applying but not going?
Yeah not too many selling on as this is a once in a lifetime game so far. I am getting there at 3pm, if the club plan to steal supporters' time again with a London distance match in the same state they can fuck off.
Celtic were always a possibility, they should have planned and published something on the site when the fixtures were confirmed at 7.10pm for those booking trains etc.
They're not 'stealing supporters' time' mate, the supporters should plan more effectively.Yeah not too many selling on as this is a once in a lifetime game so far.

I was in Dortmund to watch Scotland play, our allocation was about 10,000 with most staying in dusseldorf .The Scottish fa have a percentage of random pickups, I think 10 percent. So those that got ticket sent out had free travel those that had to collect had to pay. I suppose at least with 100% collection everyone is in same boat. I am going to Cologne to watch a game and have already got ticket on my phone. I know it's not a major issue but having a ticket could save a few €€Cheers though clearly that first trip to collect tickets you would have to pay for this time unlike previous trips
Though it only covers travel to and from game so unless they did collection at the stadium it shouldn't be too much of an issue
Don't you just love the intolerance of fans to their follow supporters.
Quick to tell you to make yourself better arrangements and all will be fine. Not everyone can take leave for a game of football and so will be on the minutes. But I guess that's their fault too for not arranging themselves a different job.
It doesn't cover Cologne, it's a different region. But it does cover a huge area. Here is the area https://www.google.co.uk/search?rlz.....4.3.380.3.zgfOeCOQyNU#imgrc=SVWuNf8ZBwAeeM:It covers all travel on a train network on the day of the game.
So, if you land at Cologne airport for example and have your ticket, your travel to Dussledorf/Glabach all your travel is free on the day of the game.
If you need to collect your ticket from the ground you'd have to pay for that travel.
Add to that Monchenglabach's ground is in the middle of nowhere.
As we both agreed earlier the system was not introduced to stop points whoring, regardless of what some think.Intolerance towards fellow supporters?? Lol it's just a different point of view mate but you enjoy yourself on your high horse.
What's fairer? A system that enables points whoring or supporter clubs pooling large amounts of tickets or a system that helps those that actually qualify (by attending games for years) have a chance of getting a ticket?
I've changed my travel because of that.
Was going to stay in Dortmund and travel in on the day of the game saving the €27 train fare. Can't do that now though without a ticket.
Maybe City will buy us all a travel pass for the day?

Moan moan bloody moan, the club have put in place systems that have proved to stop points whoring and people do nothing but Moan about having to pick up the tickets.

As to high horses, they're reserved for those making comments regarding others ability to manage holiday allocations or travel arrangements.
Everyone has different priorities and different lifestyles. I prefer to leave it to them without comment.
As for me, I couldn't give a monkeys. Makes no odds about ticket collection as I work when it suits and take time off when I like. But I still have consideration for those that aren't as fortunate.
Personally I'm glad that the club has introduced something that makes it more difficult for fans who buy tickets and sell them on regularly just so they can stay at the front of the queue.
It's not the clubs fault that some that want to go can only take half a days holiday etc. Ticket collection ensures that those that purchase tickets actually go to the game and that's fair.
I little bit of an inconvenience at times maybe but I'm all for it.
