Got to CoMS at 5:30pm yesterday before the game and walked straight up to the window and got 4 tickets no problem.

the problem with that is a lot of them people will probably not be able to go or not want to go.They'd take the ticket and then throw them away.Hand them out at the ticket office to people who want them and they will take their family.Maybe they didn't realize the demand but i'm sure everyone will get one.JohnMaddocksAxe said:A complete and utter farce!!!!!
Whoever is responsible for organising that tonight must have no concept of how people would react whatsoever.
Why not just hand everyone a ticket upon entering the ground. There's usually two or three stewards stood there doing fuck all and having a natter with people they know as they go in at each turnstile anyway.
Then open it up to everyone else tomorrow.
The reason they didn't do that is the same reason that they didn't get the cup out tonight. They are desperate to get as many people inside the ground as possible on Monday evening, spending money.
Nothing to do with respect for Stoke (who couldn't give a flying fuck about it) or wanting to allow everyone a chance to attend. Everything to do with a desperation to get 40,000, or however many they want, spending on Monday.
The stupid thing is that if they had any idea about the fans at all then they would know that they will probably easily get that amount anyway. Without the "quick, quick, take four tickets and give them to anyone you know" bullshit. More to the point, they would be going to people who deserve them too.
Every dickhead and his dog around Manchester will be getting hold of the thousands given out tonight.
Joke organisation of queueing too. Which idiot thought that a couple of windows would be enough to serve 47,000 fans?
Great match, great night, great atmosphere. This was a joke though and primarily motivated by Garry Cook's obsession with getting people spending (imo obviously).
i can see trouble brewingflipmode said:I got mine before the game off those Steward like people who have the remote machines to check Seasoncards and stuff. Asked me if I wanted 4 and when I responded "just the one, for me" I was looked at like I was a fruitcake.
People must have been asking for 4 even though they might not necessarily use them.
I'm unsure what I am going to do, but one thing is for sure I'm sitting in my seat no matter what time I get to the ground ;)
you need to look at this again and then maybe you will see a problem(or 2)xmusampa said:cant see a problem as people will be dispersed all over route.just open the doors and let everyone in who turns up .let people stand and you could easy get 60000 in.beam the players onto city square screens for those left outside once the stadiums packed.

As above poster says all Seasoncards should be activated for it.
