Why did the people who travelled on the Thompson trip get their tickets on the Plane.
While the rest were subjected to the farcical scenes at the Pullman Hotel .
For those who were not there we had to go thought an Airport type screning ( not as intense) but my
mate went to the bogs and came up behind the security check in, to get the tickets nd wristband,
All in all a total joke and the smirking clowns ( Yes Mr Chisholme ) said quote " this is how it is and this is how it will be"
This man is a complete tool ( don't want to get banned by using words I would prefer) but he is trying to introduce the ways he used at the swamp. Just why we employed this clown is a mystery to most who know him.
Bernard Halfords ticket office transferred to Paris.
City you are clueless.
 
This is 100% spot on, it was just a joke what we had to do yesterday to get our tickets and the staff did not help with the way they went about doing their jobs.
 
He certainly gets a buzz out of thinking he's some kind of God bossing people about.
Whilst I dont disagree with the idea city need to pick a central location and get the 5 of them to come to us not have 2000 fans travelling 16 metro stops across Paris
 
my understanding is this new collect your ticket rule is imposed on city not invented by them. Advice from British Embassy on travel to the game mentioned it http://us3.campaign-archive2.com/?u=808cfacd6584a4dafe2bfb99c&id=0a74bd1693 I am not defending City on how it is handled and don't travel to European games so have no experience, but if it is as bad as you describe I suggest you contact the appropriate supporters club (me for disabled, Kevin for all others) so we can work with the club to improve
 
You should have flown with Thomson I guess.

Look it is the way it is and you should just get used to it. High ticket prices, being farmed like cattle, 16 stops to get your ticket. This is the price you pay for supporting a big club ( or so people keep telling me)
 
I went on the Tuesday to collect my tickets, took a few minutes and the staff were fine, can't see the problem

It was a disgrace city yesterday, treated like shite, there was a friend of mine who had lost her phone, so she had no e-mail to show at the check point, and Chisholm had great delight in making her squirm, kept telling her, "stop bending my ear", while we was in the queue, he is one bad smart arse penny, needs to be sent packing back to where he came from, old Trafford of course.
 
Stood with a French blue nice lad no season ticket, so asked how he got his tkt and wrist band!
Oh I know Kevin Parker!!! Enough said
 
Two lads I know fucked it off and went round Paris on the piss instead of going to the game because it was far too much hassle.

Where has this come from that someone called Chisolm used to work at the swamp? No one has ever worked there with that name.

This is very similar to the way England fans had to get their tickets in Lithuania. Seems to be the norm now!
 
I found the this process a minor inconvenience that gave plenty of Blues who have missed on tickets to points whore the chance to go.

I know what one or two posters are saying about Thomson customers getting preferential treatment. That's true but the queues would have been a lot longer if all Blues had had to go to Montparnasse.

No one has answered this question! Were the Thompson trip people subjected to the same scrutiny and checks or were they just handed their tickets with their wrist bands on the plane without the checks? Think about the logistics of this; how long is the flight to Paris? How many people on the plane? How many people checking their credentials?

England fans have been picking tickets up like this for the last seven or eight years. Some people still complain about it but I've never had an issue and I've only missed a couple of aways in that time. Saves me having to remember to take my ticket with me and there's always a pub nearby full of England fans as it becomes a place to congregate.

This is also the case for England fans on official trips. They all get their tickets given to them on the plane or the coach. Presumably this is because they have everyone's name and so can cross check them all with the club to make sure they are all genuine.

What would you need to check when they are already on the plane? They have already checked their names and passports match so I'm not sure what else would be needed? Am I missing something?
