Tickets will be made available to Seasoncard holders based on loyalty point status.

These supporters will have the opportunity to purchase a ticket for the Semi Final from the opening day of sale, regardless of loyalty point status.

Tickets are strictly limited and will be available on a one ticket per qualifying supporter basis. Tickets are non-transferable. If the Supporter Number used is that of an Adult, then only an Adult ticket may be purchased. This also applies to Under 16s and Over 65s.

Qualifying loyalty points will be taken as those held on the respective supporter’s file at 9am on Saturday 19 March 2011.

Buying tickets for other supporters

We are aware that some groups of supporters with different numbers of loyalty points would like to purchase tickets together for this match. In an attempt to support this, groups of up to six supporters may purchase tickets as soon as 50% of the supporters have the requisite number of loyalty points, as long as all supporters have 3,000 points or more. Where one or more supporters have less than 3,000 points, those on higher points can wait until every member of the group qualifies or buy tickets separately.

Any one supporter can purchase up to six tickets, using valid, qualifying Seasoncards. To purchase tickets on behalf of other supporters, the buying supporter must be in possession of each of the respective cards at the time of booking and be prepared to answer a number of security questions relating to each of the card holders including date of birth, postcode and card number.

Junior Seasoncard holder

so...... if you're not a season ticket holder "fuck off" then basically?
Its fair enough I suppose...

Beamback
The game will be shown live on big screens at the City of Manchester Stadium – further details to follow.

I checked the Thomas Cook match breaks special, not cheap is it? Well not when you convert ZAR into GBP. Get through to the final and then i will move heaven and earth.......

i only have 2230 loyalty points and im worried. Gonna be so fucked off if i dont get one.

So its just for SEASONcard holders not CITYcard holders no matter how many points you have on a Citycard???

I'm just ahead of you by a day or two Ash. Basically what they've done there, is to persuade people to get involved in the cup direct scheme.

My reading of it is that you could be a first year seasoncard holder with say 500 pointds, but because you're in the cup direct scheme, you're at the front of the queue. Apologies if I'm wrong on that.

being in the cup scheme has paid off then - only got 2460 points so would have been cutting it fine!!

been rewarded for going all those shit cup ties now - fair play to the club

Your not wrong,bit of a pisstake.
Should have been cupscheme and over 1000 points really.

36,000 season tickets is this correct? even though im not on cup direct scheme agree with club on this stance fair play

absolute disgrace 31 000 tickets i hope everyone who deserves 1 gets one,
but i doubt it. thats 62 000 between 2 teams.
about 28 000 going to no marks.
and they wonder why attendences are down.

Yeah pretty much, if your in the scheme you get a ticket, if you went to every game without being in the scheme then fuck you is my interpretation of it.

Don't suppose you can join the scheme today can you lol.

I doubt it will get down to half of the required points, Sold out in double quick time.

If i dont get a ticket from city then i'll spend next years seasoncard money buying one from seatexchange or the like.

It would be handy to know where you are in relation to other card holders...ie =18534th or whatever, and how many card holders the club has.

Not if you're a Citycard holder with twice as many points as a SC Holder....I'm sure there will be people in that very boat.

Think its around the 36,000 mark for SC holders but last year was only 31,000 so 5000 new SC holders but some of them may have been long time citycard holders so it doesnt mean they have less points.

lads just had confirmed 33k seasoncards but dont forget 31,500 tickets also needs to have deductions out of it for club,players, groups etc so were looking at 27,000. im on 2,500 points but looks like i might be in corporate box on half way line(brothers works) fingers crossed
