    Or stay down South and soak up the atmosphere with the lads in Trafalgar Square.

    There will be many down there, ticketless, to join in a boozer for the game, and then at least you can join in afterwards!

    possibly haha, it seems the staff are sworn to secrecy, all sorts of rumours flying about, the most plausible to me is that they will be offered to non season card holders with the most loyalty points

    as above mate

    That seems more than fair mate, I understand people can't get to games, live away etc, but you have lads in the south who get to every southern away game etc, they should be prioritised, course they should.

    This is precisely why when I moved to Spain, I kept season card on, mind, I managed 11 home games year 1 and 13 season 2, admittedly helped out by a few conveniently placed weddings etc.

    I have a feeling City won't sell their full allocation, what happens to those tickets do we know?

    I've been told I should qualify for phase 3 with no loyalty points, but in an event of more restriction which they don't think there will be It will league cup loyalty so I'll be sweet for attending quarter and semi at the sol. Not to mention Southampton and MK Dons.

    ebay is a good safe site as you get refunded etc if you do not get what you want.

    Ebay own Stub Hub, a Sunderland partner, so if I was buying away from allocation I would trust that entirely.

    i think, and this is an educated guess that a proportion get offered to the club, as do any unsold ones that have been distributed to the league clubs, i say this as i recall it happening in 1992 v liverpool and v swindon (however that was the fa cup and play off final so could well be different)

    these are the quiestions so many are waiting on the answers for, the club should pull there finger out and put people in the picture, folk are paying £450 as they are scared they might miss out when there could be a chance of getting one direct from safc

    You can't sell tickets on ebay now. They cancel the lot and tell you to use stub hub as they own it now.

    Yeah, the clubs usually spot in with handling of fans but they haven't done nearly enough on this.

    I've heard of lads selling motors and all sorts to buy touted tickets, that's bullshit man.

    mate you dont know what to beleive,other rumours of phase 3 i've seen are

    additional tickets for people who have held a sc for 10 years plus

    non season card holders with most loyalty points

    Free for all general sale

    additional tickets for season card holders with the most loyalty points

    folk that had season tickets for 5-10 years and gave them up in the last 2 seasons

    there are loads, I agree with gonads, fairest way would be non season card holders with most loyalty points

    now living abroad, I went back to the UK a few years ago and was in need of ticket's for an away game. Couldn't get any the genuine way. Our away ticket allocation was sold out.

    My only option was to go on some website which had ticket's but meant me having to go in the opposition's end and I paid at least double the face value, but worth it when you only have limited time spent in the UK these days.

    If there is additional tickets for anyone over 10 years as an SC holder, I will buy mine and sell cost price.

    I think all of my lads are sorted, so unless one of my uncles wants it, I'd put it to someone on here, we spend that much time on here it feels like we know each other anyway!

    We'll see what the crack is in a couple of days fella. Announcement could even be tomorrow but most likely Friday. Be gutted if i miss out as I've been loyal to our progress in this competition. Had my money for the away leg and never got the chance to see that. So personally I'm hoping to be rewarded for the 4 matches I've attended in this comp this season.
