seems the 6pm general sale for remaining tickets is now no longer going to happen. They will now be offered as extras to existing ticket holders So need help to obtain a ticket please, will pay double face value....
Sorted. 2 x Wembley hospitality tickets with lunch, free drinks and parking so prob not much more than it would have cost us anyway. I spoke to the club who swear that it was never announced that any tickets would go on general sale, it was always the intention to sell to ST holders and priority members only ??
I was going to try and get one (or more if I could), but took one look at the prices and it put me right off.
Yeah but I'm 58.... so unlikely I'll ever get the chance to see them at Wembley again. Memories are priceless. I decided not to go to the Bayern Munich game and always regretted it so **** it, we'll make a big day of it.
I want to take my son but if i have to buy 2 priority memberships and 2 tickets it starts to get silly money.
What you need is someone with a ST or Priority membership that has only bought 1 ticket so far and does not plan to buy anymore. You can then use their ST number(s) to purchase an additional ticket. I have found a person who has a ST for himself and his son so I may well have the tickets tomorrow evening. This is what you need to do SN23. Massive faux pas by the club though I know LOADS of people that are VERY bitter about it. Shades of the Spurs cup game a while back when they tried to screw the fans and played to a pretty much deserted Carrow Road. Only this time they have a more valuable commodity to hold us to ransom for.
You can't buy 2 priority memberships anyway as they sold out on Saturday or Sunday I think. 3 people I know who have never seen a match did this and now have tickets. The thing that really chaps my arse is that I probably have spent in excess of £2000 in the last 3-4 years watching them play and then there's the replica kit, food, drink etc.... and I won't even get a chance to buy a ticket. However you look at it, that's bloody unfair. I've sat through some bad games like Colchester at home, all the Villa games at home including cup. I think NCFC should send me for free. ha!
What will really piss folk off is if any of tickets bought by 'priority members' end up being sold for a song on any of the many resale (ticket tout in other words) websites. Think that's illegal for football matches though isn't it?
That is what has annoyed me to. I cannot get to many games at the moment with living in Wales but any came there is a chance of me making a game I will go! If I can't I will always watch or listen to it. But people who have not been to games suddenly popping up and buy priority just to go to Wembley has got on my nerves a lot!
I've got 8 tickets using false names and addresses and have sold each one for a £150 mark up- just living the Tory dream
David McNally is copping loads of flak for this ticketing arrangement on twitter, especially. Though, as he said, we could easily have sold 60,000. Usual story, sadly - true fans deprived just so the corporates and prawn sarnie mob can be "entertained"
Can anyone help with this? My mate has ST and his kid also when logging into this account it says he is only allowed to purchase 1 ticket. How would you purchase the ticket for his son also? Do you have to register him as friends and family to do this?
I dunno, I think the 39k allocation is pretty fair and quite different from the FA Cup where I believe at least that many are held back for corporates and neutral fans. Like McNally said, and I'm sure we all agree with, we could easily have sold 60k to proper fans, and whilst it is of course harsh for people who aren't members or ST holders who still manage to get to a fair few games to miss out, 60k into 39k doesn't go so there will always be unfortunate people who don't get to go to the ball. There will be people who have never been to a game before in attendance, but I'm sure most of them will be City fans at least who maybe don't get the chance to go to games as easily as many, and whilst that doesn't make it any better for those not going, I don't imagine it will be the prawn sandwich brigade to blame. Bit like the Olympics, when demand outstrips supply as comprehensively there are always going to be people cheesed off, however there probably isn't much more the club could have realistically done about it, particularly as our fanbase appears to have swollen in the past few seasons. I'm just lucky my dear old mum was kind enough to step aside and let me use her ticket or I'd have been screwed, though hopefully she'll be able to get herself the extra one when they become available.
The FIRST people who should have been offered the extra tickets are the away season ticket holders, the fact they were not included in the first place is disgraceful, in fact they should have been the main priority over those who drive 20 miles once a fortnight and are back home for the 6 o'clock news Sorry, TMC, they ****ed up, they could have considered this far more carefully
Were away season ticket holders not included? I'm surprised if they weren't, they are 'season ticket holders' after all and I would be surprised if many of them aren't also home season tickets holders as well. If they weren't included then I completely agree with you that was very short-sighted and wrong, though I'd have thought that 'season ticket' would have referred to either home and away?
