The one change I'd like is to be able to reserve tickets and pay for them but link them at a later time if available to allow people to group up and go together. In our personal circumstances of 3 season tickets, we're often 3 but sometimes 2 and that means the 2 tickets are in a different points bracket. I can't wait in case they sell out and means I then buy another. Not only 2 booking fees at £1.20 (ok it's marginal but unnecessary) and means they're not together. Some will argue it's a free for all and sit where you like, but there are games stewards insist on you being in the correct area and we do generally try and sit (well stand) in our allocated seats. I know for groups of mates who go together, they experience similar issues.

Can’t remember how many away trips I did in 21/22 so I’ll lose x amount on top of the 230, then re-add the 230 for renewal, so I’ll be knocked back just below 1500 again. Doh.

Yep, I'm on 1910, my grandson's only on 1280. To guarantee my ticket I need to buy on release, as I can't risk waiting for availability at 1200+ so he can come with me (He can't buy one on his own as he's under 14, so he's missing out and it means I'm traveling alone) Frustrating, but at least this way those that go H/A are rewarded with availability for the away games they want to attend

Tommo1993 · 2025-03-11T11:52:23+0000

The brutal nature of the beast. As long as people are holding back so others with less points can come with them; when you are guaranteeing yourself the ticket all that happens is you make that deficit bigger should it not make their threshold.

I'm on 1840 but do a lot of away games. Strangely, my son has over 1900. Odd because he never goes without me.

Contact the club mate. Me and my dad were 10 or 20 points apart despite never going separately. Think he went up the ticket office and they corrected it.

slondonskyblue · 2025-03-11T12:45:36+0000

A lot of the away allocations in the prem aren't actually that big. So getting tix for most games will be impossible for those without over 1200 points.

They might deduct Torchys son 60 points!

I was worried they’d do that to me. It must’ve only been a 10 point gap between me and my dad. 60 points might be a little tougher for them to concede a system glitch though.

Mmm...think I'll leave it.

I get your point, but then it will be too late

If/when we do get there I imagine demand for away tickets will be huge so unless you have the points built up beforehand you won't stand a chance

given you build points up over multiple seasons it sounds like its already too late

My point was that it's still possible for people on lower points totals to gain points right now, that might not be the case at all in the prem as I imagine most games would sell out well before 1200 points.

Love it how posts like this appear when we are winning and doing well.

Swansea, WBA, Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday to name a few that went to general sale

It’s possible to get points throughout the season if you really want to build them up

And yes, I have 2000 +

Yep, the home cup games are always 20 points. Some away even 30.

I don't think anyone has argued about the points system. Merely a question of number on each band for interest..

That’s fair but would anyone be questioning the number on each band if we were 18th in the table and facing a relegation battle.

Unlikley as we wouldn’t be selling out the likes of Derby and Sheffield United away

So the link is there

CJ_covblaze · 2025-03-11T21:59:03+0000

The FA have just added this to our membership page. Quite useful. We’ve always been able to see the amount on each cap level. City are not alone in not showing fans where they stand as most clubs don’t release that but there’s software out there to do it automatically. Not sure what there is to gain by keeping it a secret.

lordsummerisle · 2025-03-12T08:06:20+0000

Wonder if the club would consider doing an away season ticket?

They used to years ago, when in the Prem, think ticket cost for away games taken out by direct debit every game.

Only home season ticket holders could get them, though of course lot less season ticket holders back then, and have to limit sales based on smallest away allocation I suppose .

My point was that its been possible for the last three or four seasons to gain points. If all of a sudden now we're doing well enough for you to start worrying about having enough points for Prem games it highlights exactly why the system was brought in.

Yes I get that. We're still allowed a discussion on it though

Just an irrelevant comment.

Picking up 50 or so points in the reminder of this season could be the difference between being able to get tickets or not next year if we get promoted.

Has the club ever released how many are in each band? I think this would be useful for planning when you have groups of friends in different bands.

I'm interested to where I'd be with 1300 points. Thinking top 4k? Anyone clever been able to roughly work it out?

How often would they have to release it though weekly? During the course of the season you can add up to 500 points. If they were to do it it would have to be updated after every match. Realise it’s just a bit of software they would have to add to the website but it would have to be agreed by multiple clubs as most clubs use the same framework for their websites.

Cov4life · 2025-03-12T14:25:28+0000

The points system is being abused though, there’s a big whatsapp group for Cov fans buying tickets just to sell in order to get their points.

I know it’s hard to police, but it would be interesting to know how many actual points holders are at the away games.
