The big issue is whether the prioritise existing members first over new ones. I've heard plenty of anecdotal evidence from friends and colleagues this week of new members signing up - both City and United fans. See also my (as yet unanswered) question in the Q&A section. Will the club therefore prioritise on the basis of purchasing history? If they dont there will be lots of plastics in the home ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan djurichimovic Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I hope so my only way of getting a ticket and there will be a lot of unhappy people if they don't reward the fans who went to previouse rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 31, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Let's put it this way, if you are a SEASON TICKET HOLDER or a MEMBER you WILL get a ticket !! STOP panicking people ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I've had three requests for tickets so far. One from my boss (placcy Man U fan), and two from mates who have never shown any interest in football, let alone City. After telling them all no chance, one of my mates is even trying to get a box or corporate hospitality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STOP panicking people ! You can't say that with any certainty. Any number of people could have signed up as members since the draw. It is inevitable the some United fans will have done so. Additionally, everyone who is a Bristol Rugby STH is also a member. With 14k STH and 4k away fans that leaves about 8k tickets after segregation. It is entirely possible that not every member will get a ticket. Hence my question in the Q&A, and hence why it is imperative that existing members and/or those with booking history are given priority after STH.

OK, let's believe all the unfounded "rumours" of people buying up memberships, just like the usual "I know of lots of away fans with tickets in home sections" All I say is keep worrying about it then!! There will be about 24k tickets on sale to City fans, we have less than 14k football season ticket holders - IT WON'T BE A PROBLEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well aware of several people - both United and City fans - who have bought memberships off the back of the draw. I am only one person so this will be repeated many times over. You may wish to poo-poo it but it is entirely reasonable to suggest that not all members will get a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake. Let's put it another way. If 45,000 people are willing to travel 2 hours to watch us play Walsall, it's probably not going to be hard to find 23,000 "home" fans to watch us play United at Ashton Gate. I don't why it's suddenly become such an outlandish theory to suggest that both United and City fans might be buying memberships in advance of this game. It was a commonly shared concern here just a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be astonished if there weren't lots Man U fans in the home stands if priority wasn't given to those with a purchasing history.There are thousands of their fans in South Wales and the West Country - including the Bristol area.

My issue is money, otherwise I'd have a season ticket or bought a membership already, and I'm not buying a membership to maybe have a chance of a ticket for one game and then maybe £5 off one more game if I can scrape the money together. Hopefully will be in a position where I can get a season ticket next season, but have priorities to pay before I can look at anything like a ST.

eardun Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Is tonight’s team and formation against Fulham - who had a lot of possession - the way to set up v Man U?

Where have I complained or said I wasnt prepared to pay the membership? I have accepted I almost certainly wont get a ticket, and didnt get a membership because that wasnt financially viable for me. I havent complained at all, merely stated how things are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
