As has been mentioned Man City and Man Utd have now sold out. We have 1,700 going to City and they were sold out a few days after they went on sale to season ticket holders with no loyalty points. You can get, as far as I am aware, over 3,000 if you take the full allocation. When I heard that Man Utd was sold out I was gutted but now I'm just pissed off. We have taken an allocation of 1,800 for a 3 o' clock game away at the biggest club in England. We sold these out, by the looks of things, at the season ticket holder stage of 25 loyalty points or more. It didn't even get down to 0 loyalty points. The away allocation maximum at Old Trafford is 3,000. I understand that Ashley doesn't want to risk having to refund Man Utd for unsold tickets, but we just took FIVE THOUSAND fans to Blackburn on a Wednesday night in the Carling Cup! So I doubt we'd have any problems selling 3,000 tickets to watch us at Old Trafford on a 3pm game not on TV. It is an absolute joke and it is going to make our support look shoddy (in terms of numbers) compared to other Premier League teams that are taking up the full allocations.. Rant over.
Email the club this, I have and hopefully if enough of us keep complaining they will give us the full allocations. They are taking the piss. http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/97003-Newcastle-United-away-tickets-policy
I think I will do later. What was the point in me buying the membership card if games have no chance of going to Club Member sale!
At this rate I might not bother. The three games I can definitely get to every year (in terms of ticket demand and location) are Bolton, Wigan and Blackburn. They currently occupy the relegation places!
We always sell our allocation of away tickets, Man Utd and Man City would have been certanties to sell out straight away. The powers that be should know that by now.
