Ticket Points Sales Tracking

[wolfie1988]

Thanks to the pathetic group who fought for the points system to be abolished all so that they could get there own tickets has now meant all fans are getting done over. We all knew how stupid that group was in thinking that removing Loyalty points for away games would give everyone else a chance of getting a ticket. They were driven by selfishness and now everyone loses out.
Looking at the points for Liverpool I probably have 2 seasons left before I miss out.
Though I must add that of all the aways last year Liverpool for fans was the absolute worst. Never seen so many corporate and International fans in the away end.
So you only have yourself to blame for supporting those c*nts in changing the points system.

Bang on. A fucking joke. Because, remember, passing a ticket onto a mate for FV is far worse than the club touting tickets to 3rd party ticket sites and selling corp packages for away games

Really poor from City. Only silver lining is City have got quite a few criterias wrong this year so wouldn't be surprised if it goes lower

But this time theyll have less tickets available to buy through points criteria

I'd be very surprised if it goes lower.

City do not care about us, pretty simple really

I’ve never seen….
Our owner
Director
Management

……in the away section.

Don’t they usually go in the home hospitality section of the ground that were visiting?

So it seems less tickets are going to point holders each season.

Which means this double points scheme you pay extra for is misleading.

Your paying extra money to fall behind which is the opposite of what they promised.

This could be the next PPI

Anybody know any decent solicitors - you could be owed thousands ;-)

I said that as soon as they announced it

For Liverpool and united I would imagine the players get what they want regarding tickets in the away end for their family. I've had it a few times where my ticket has been amongst the allocation of players families and there's usually a bit more space to stand (albeit not for the two games mentioned, but I had it at Newcastle this season)

Exactly. Plus it's always done for home games now too. They are constantly trying to make it more and more difficult for fans to stop passing tickets on to family members and friends.

It's blatantly obvious that they want to sell to third parties and corporate packages.

Same reason why they won't be releasing extra season tickets when they expansion is completed, Why would they sell more season tickets which would work out at £32.50 a ticket when they can sell a single ticket for £77. It's fucking scandalous.

Wild criteria, I basically get a dippers ticket every year although I've been pushed closer and closer to the drop off over time but this year the criteria (if correct, which is debateable) suggests I will miss out by several thousand points.

If that turns out to be the case, they've finally stopped siphoning off a few dozen tickets per season for the ticket points pool and just gone fuck it were having them all.

All the regular away dayers from the last decade will have a similar story to me of either themselves or their mates no longer being able to get tickets and the group they go with dwindles year by year.

The people I typically go with used to be able to fill a coach or at least 2 minibuses for every game, nowadays they could probably get a taxi to most games, the away ends are not a patch on what they were just a few years ago, they're full of first timers who have paid through the roof for tickets they should have no access to.

City have played the long game to do this, they banked on many of us being in the "I'm alright so I don't care" camp which many of us are guilty of and now we're at a stage where there's enough people impacted to be at least a vocal minority if not a majority but it's far too late to do anything about it. They've fucked us slowly, they don't give a shit and we have no way of changing anything. This is the new away crowd.

We're not unique in this, it's probably happening to us at a bigger and quicker rate than most because we've always had a core local support and now we're the best club on the planet that everybody wants to see but it's happening at every club in the league and will continue to do so. The only hope we have is if the inevitable independent regulator targets these issues but that's going to be way down the list of things to sort.
