Ticket queues in Glasgow

It doesn't stop you buying league away tickets getting the points, flogging it to your mates and there is 4 times as many games
 
We were on the day trip from the willow in Failsworth. Had a few hours pre-match to have a beer with the lads and soak up the atmosphere in the centre centre. To have to spend nearly 2 of these hours queueing in the rain for your ticket that you have already paid for the month before is unfair and not right. It's just another example of the working class football fan being treated with contempt. We felt like cattle yesterday, not a valued loyal supporter travelling Europe (ha) watching our beloved blues. It didn't ruin our day, it was a top trip because we're Mancs and we know how to have a party but sometimes you don't feel like you live in a free country or are respected, especially as a football fan. As we've said before many a time, football without fans is nothing.
 
The reasons for the ticket collection are very sensible, the organisation of it is shambolic.

Will there be an instant response from the Club and a vast improvement for the next match - I suspect the answer is a great big NO!

This is what angers me. Why are they doing this? I don't buy into the "Points Whore" thing either. I reckon it's some sort of control/hooliganism type measure.

It really bugs me to hear Blues supporting it, too. As though it's perfectly OK to ask you to waste half of your day arseing around just to be given the priviledge of giving them your £60.

It's the same with the UEFA alcohol ban. Everyone just accepts it. And not drinking in seats in the league. It's a scandal. Football has moved on and we should be treated like that given the financial commitment required.

Agree on every single point. I can't think of any other "industry" where you pay a fortune and get treated like shit into the bargain. It's scandalous in this day and age.
 
A question.

If you can get to the ticket office at the Etihad prior to the match and show your id that werk, why can't you collect your wrist band and ticket there?

Over to you City.

Pretty alarming when members of staff are telling fans "If you don't like it don't bother"

People need to stop jumping on the straw man moral high ground that this Chinese Whispers quote provides them. If there's one thing I've learnt about forums is that you can't take any second hand quote on any kind of face value. I'm not saying someone is lying as such, but people spin conversations and quote them out of context to make a point.

I would also love to hear what City have said about the reasons for doing this.
