scramble for Barca home leg tickets

[Ted Hughes]

I didn't realise that if you are not in the cup scheme that you can't just get your own seat when buying a cup game ticket, meaning blue members in the cup scheme get dibs on season ticket holders seats. Iv had to move somewhere else. Is is right that none season ticket holders get to pick seats over season tickets holders? Has it always been like this?

Was the case last season, wasn't in the cup scheme last season and it did say about that but still was ok to get my normal seat, i wasn't aware that Blue members could join the cup scheme though. They shouldn't get priority over ST holders.

I'm not sure how it works now. I thought that season ticket holders not in the scheme would have an allotted time to get their tickets and if they didn't take the seat it would go to blue members with high points. No idea who had taken my seat.

It seems that, if you are a seasoncard holder, you get an allotted period of time to pick 'a' seat but they don't hold your usual seat for you.

When you go online, there is no option to just pick your usual seat, you have to bring up the seat map & find it on there. In most cases, I have been pretty relaxed about getting tickets & my seat has been taken every time, but I actually moved pretty sharpish for the Blackburn replay, but my seat had gone anyway; thus I made sure got in within the first half an hour for the Barca game & managed to get my own seat.

So who's getting these seats then? I presume other ST holders who get in there first?

I dunno, perhaps non seasoncard holders who are on the cup scheme ?

Does anyone have an idea about away tickets yet?
Demand for them? And price?

Demand = very high

Price = very high

I've seen away end tickets for normal league games being sold for €200.

Hope this helps.

I've got a season ticket and I'm in the cup scheme. But because I'm in East Tier 2, I can't even have my own seat anyway. City have to provide so many for corporate. I've been moved up into some pretty decent seats (probably other ST holders) on tier 3 and I can see who sits in mine. Just fans. Fuck knows how they get tickets for my seat. Pisses me right off.
