If that was the criteria, no fucker would have gone to any game between 1970 and 2012 apart from maybe a few in '77.

In block 326 there are normally 200+ at the back on the 1st day of sale. Today there are only 4 single seats in the whole block.
So there we have it, people who may have wives and children who wanted to attend this single game and sit together have almost zero chance of doing so!
All because the decided to sell an overpriced last 5 game ticket to people who could commit the money and attend all 5 games, although I suspect many were forced to buy seats they will never use just to get the last game that looks a dead rubber now anyway.
Well done City, not!

They have not fleeced anyone.The offer was there and it looks like most fans who bought them,thought great value for the money.Obviously you`re not overly happy but you had a chance.

Yes I had a chance to feather my own nest at the expense of others, but I also knew that of the final 5 games I could only attend 2 due to working patterns.
I also knew that like many others that are blue members (25,000+ of which 14,000 have MTP, ticket office provided figures in recent email) that I would have a fair shot at 8,000 tickets for any home game.
Sadly for many genuine fans who can't afford Seasoncard or hyperinflated 5 match bundles at £250 (equates to a £950 Seasoncard!) it appears the club has completely sold out on it's promise. In fact you can still go on line today and buy Blue Membership with MTP for tickets that will never come on sale! Amazing!
So Mr Oakie Cokie, I suggest that you should consider others who are perhaps less fortunate than yourself financially and remember that Manchester City Football Club was formed from the poorest folk of east Manchester and that it should never alienate its core fan base who I am glad to say are still largely working class people with a understanding of the virtues of what is fair and proper.
