It is me this season, Had a season ticket last year but work situation put an end to that. However I think @Port Said Red's daughter sounds like a very worthy person for this offer to go out to. My sister recently had her first child and I have seen how much it has taken out of her, so a night off for PSRs daughter would undoubtedly be a welcome treat for her. Kudos to @Bar BS3 for doing this, regardless of who does or doesn't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to recover the air fare to Thailand and back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term relationships are tough enough without starting off with such a basic incompatability. Fortunately my wife likes football, and supports BCFC - I really can't imagine being with someone who hated one of my strongest passions. Try having a husband who's a gashead!

Depends on your other half I suppose. My wife of 32 years is the younger sister of a City fan friend, and one of the first times I met her was when she unexpectedly turned up on a mini bus to Wolves when someone dropped out. Always enjoyed going down the pub with our group before games, still keen on City and football generally - can't fault her really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 If even giving the ticket away is illegal, and if the club are letting you upgrade a childs ST place to an adult ticket, then how exactly are you supposed to use it without breaking the law? If you are upgrading to an adult ticket then the OP can give that ticket to whomever he damn well chooses so far as I can see, otherwise the club are ripping him off by letting him pay the upgrade and then not letting anyone but his son use it!

TBW Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Anyone who is willing to pay in the hundreds for this game is a tool. Yes I've been waiting for a game like this since I was eight years old too but you could just go watch United at Swansea or something if you were that desperate. Saying you got into the home end and supported United will just get you made fun of for paying so much for your ticket in the first place. Really hoping the club will be dealing with this issue with no messing about. If they catch you selling your ticket is cancelled. If they catch you in the home end, you're kicked out on the night.

I know on airlines, if you can’t fit in one seat, then you have to purchase 2!

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted November 15, 2017 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 1 hour ago, Red Homer said: At no point has the ticket been resold though, the OP has given the ticket away free, and sold the lint in his pocket for the same value as the ticket! Sadly, giving away a ticket for free is also against the law. It's one of a raft of laws that apply only to us hooligans, i.e. football fans, and is in bad need of repeal. It is not an offence to pass on tickets for any other sport or event. Back to the OP's question, however: I'd say base it on gut feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people I know and a few work colleagues have enquired, but I can’t bring myself to let someone who doesn’t really give a toss about supporting City, have the ticket. So, I know there are several posters on here, who are proper City fans, but for varying reasons, may not have the priority status to get a ticket. What are people’s thoughts on the best way to decide who “deserves” a ticket..?! Face value, obviously! I have no intention of making profit on it and certainly don’t want some plastic Manc sat in any seats, let alone the one next to mine..! It will not be sold until any remaining tickets go on general sale and people get their priority. Best to wait and see if any members miss out..? Pick my favourite pleading email..? Raffle it for charity amongst those who would like it..? What do people reckon is best/fairest..? What with your best friends all being like minded ST's as well, it's a tough one...if I were you just give it away to some deserving kid, anonymously, then you can skip social media entirely.
