So basically if you're not on the cup scheme you can't go?? Even if you went to the semi? Wankers!

Hasn't that been clear ever since they announced the whole cup scheme thingy?
and why would it matter if you went to the semi or not? In fact I'd say that should matter more who went to see 3rd round vs Watford than who went to wembley

It was made clear almost a year ago that fans in the cup scheme get priority, therefore if you chose not to go into it then its your own stupid fault and you have no right to cry.

The most loyal fans get the tickets... as it should be!!

It would be a true piss take if someone was on the cup scheme (holla), had to shell out for Watford, Leeds and Barnsley only to be queue jumped by a load of platinum members (or whatever) who've not bothered.

I still think the bands are a bit broad though - not an issue for games with 25k allocation but 6000 - 7000 is quite a big leap and tough on those with 6,900 points. Pleased I've got 7000+ mind.

So you're saying that if you had someone on one hand who followed City and had their season ticket for 18 years straight, was on say the champions league scheme but couldn't afford the FA cup scheme as well, but then there was someone who has had their season ticket for let's say since the takeover and was on the FA cup scheme this year, then that makes them more loyal???

Have a word with yourself please.

Having calmed down I've realised that it would only be fair that the cup scheme gays get the priority. But to make the accusation that the cup scheme fans are more loyal is one of the most stupid things I've heard on here!!

Can we bring back the ginger guy Doomie is grooming please??

Absolutely, if they go to every game in the cup run then they deserve it over somebody who picks and chooses his games. Thats why those of us who are better fans always make all finals, as it should be, if you don't like it then you should either enter all the cup schemes or stop crying about it.

Fortunately i' out of the country so havent had an issue with this, although my ticket was used for the semi final.

But the club fucked me off royally this season, I selected the cup schemes when I renewed my season ticket, then about the 6th september I emailed to ask mwhy i hadnt had an email about the first champs league game, only to be told there had been a problem, and I wasnt in any of the cup schemes, nor would they rectify it and out me in them because the deadline of 1st September had passed.

Manchester fucking City in all its common-sense glory there.

So I havent gone to a single cup game this season (other than free hospitality) out of principle, they can go fuck themselves. For the one final every now and again we reach, the money I save will cover the cost of a black market ticket! And to be honest, I think thats the way i'm gonna play it in the future when I come back to the Uk, pick and choose my cup games.

The point is that the rules were clear and simple, the best fans get the best tickets, so those of us who do go to everything need not worry about the new boys who weren't there 20 years ago. If you can't get a ticket then it is because you haven't earnt it... tough shit!!

Thats fair enough, I think considering City are striving to be world class in all areas their customer service both in box office and in match day bars/outlets is absolutely dog shit!!
