New2City Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 18 minutes ago, phantom said: Getting tickets for Leeds is MASSIVELY different to Villa, these won't make general sale. Currently oonly on sale to Season Tickets plus, then season ticket holders, then members I didn't mean to imply that it was the same at all; just more of a commiseration for those who would want tickets and not be able to get them. I suppose I'm too new to understand why it's massively different, but pretty much everything about the ticket buying experience is different to me than what it's like here for sporting events.

Hint: literally 1000s of City fans are going to miss out on this one, including season ticket holders. Think about it. Thanks for the condescending hint! I think season ticket plus should get more benefit, hint: it's called rewarding loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think season ticket plus should get more benefit, it's called rewarding loyalty. But they are rewarding your loyalty by giving priority to you to buy a ticket. Why should your mate/family member who isn't a season ticket holder plus also get rewarded over other season ticket plus holders? Say they aren't even season ticket holders or members... Why should they benefit from your loyalty? I'd love to take my Mrs to this game. She isnt from Bristol, doesn't like football and has only been to 3 city games in her life. Imagine how annoyed you would be if you missed out on a ticket because I'd managed to buy an extra one for her one my season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have less than 2.5k tickets to distribute amongst (for starters) 14k season ticket holders. Why should your (or anyone else's) random friend get a ticket priority too..?! Do you expect City to let your friend into home games on your season ticket, so you have someone to sit with..?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 For anyone panicking, remember many will return their tickets after the fleetwood game if we win. Four of us going but if we beat Fleetwood that goes down to two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you create a new account you still won't have a previous purchase history though. See below image grabbed from the Villa ticket site. Presumably this would stop any new account regardless of postcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 10 of us going but if we beat Fleetwood then sadly none can go because of work and other commitments, So that would be another 10 going back. So id imagine there will still be some on sale come end of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Just thought I'd share this tweet from Adam Baker for anyone who's interested. Only 900 tickets left now and non-plus STH haven't had their chance yet. Can't see it making member sale, certainly not general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine there are many STH that aren't "plus" it was included for renewals and only an extra £20 for new STH, so I doubt many others suddenly be able to purchase. There might be a mad rush on internet sales after the result, if we lose the replay on Tuesday though, before member sales on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, although of course plus can continue to purchase through the weekend in addition to non-plus. If I was a betting man I'd say they'll all be gone by Monday...but I'd love to be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC1512 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Don't seem to be selling as fast as first thought. I'm a member and hoping some left Wednesday morning.

Mad Cyril Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 A lot will be waiting on the result tonight. At least the manager doesn't have the dilemma of whether to put out his strongest team for the cup.....he is too busy still looking for it.

Bar BS3 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Why would anybody be waiting for tonight's result..? The whole point of them already being on sale to priority groups is that you can get your allocation but get a refund if you can't make the rearranged date.
