Weekend whispers were confirmed last night as the club announced how they planned to distribute their 25,000 F.A. Cup Final tickets. F.A. rules prevented a general sale so it meant they could, by and large, only offer them to their known database and members.
Basic distribution is;
Current Ambassadors renewing for next season - 2 tickets
Ambassadors not renewing/current season tickets/new season tickets/members - 1 ticket
By the time sponsor take up etc is handled and assuming maximum take up, it leaves 1,500 tickets which are available to anyone who purchases a season ticket now.
Some will be unhappy, the club can never win, but it's good to see them encourage loyalty.
When 20,000 of those who went to the semis couldn't be bothered watching City at home last weekend, you have to question how they feel they are great City fans and automatically deserve a ticket. Yes, many may work weekends, have other things going on in their lives etc but if you don't watch City all the time, you can't demand a F.A. Cup Final ticket as a right either.
