Biggest concern is that they are mailing out the code for Gold members to buy online. Should be in the post Thursday so should have it by Saturday in an ideal world. Hope they don't use the same couriers as the season tickets!!!

Manchester City Ticket Details
Posted on: Thu 21 Aug 2008
Owing to Manchester City's involvement in the UEFA Cup, the date for the Carling Cup fixture will not be confirmed until after Thursday 28th August.
However, in order to begin the ticketing process, the club has written to all Gold members to clarify this information and invite applications to ensure that all Gold members have ample opportunity to secure their seat for the Carling Cup second-round tie.
In line with the club's ticketing policy, Gold members receive priority for this match and have until 5pm on Friday 29th August to purchase their own seat by one of the following methods:
Online: Season ticket holders will need to wait until they receive their application by post (due for dispatch this Thursday), and then apply online their own exclusive account and reservation number included in the letter.

Eh? Not from where I'm sitting.
If you are NOT a season ticket holder or a Blue Member or a member of Gully's Gang or Team Stripes, you will have to wait until Monday 8 September before you can apply - and then only if you are on the Club's database.
Season Ticket holders can only use their priority status to buy tickets for themselves or friends/family who are Blue Members or members of Gully's Gang or Team Stripes.
If you are not a Season Ticket holder or Blue Member, you have until 29 August to sign up as a Blue Member (for £30) and you then get a chance to order a ticket before 6 September.
If you normally pay for games on a match by match basis and don't want to shell out an extra thirty quid, you will be in the last minute scramble.
If the Club think that this will go down well with that group of supporters, they must be CRAZY.

Sounds like there trying to get some new blue members

Abort, retry, fail
I am in for the scramble then. I don't see why I should have to shell out £30 for a Blue Membership when I end up paying more than a season ticket anyway.
I was going to say that I hope there is some form of points system when we are no longer a tinpot organisation, but then I guess we will not have to worry about Falmer selling out.

Maybe. Except they are offering priority to kids under 12 and under 16, some of whom won't ever have been to Withdean.

The other DAFT thing about these arrangements is that a child under 12 (Gully's Gang member) won't be able to get a priority ticket unless they are accompanied by a Blue Member. How many parents who have NEVER been to Withdean will be persuaded to join the Blue membership scheme, just so that their kid can get to this game?
And how many fans will that displace?

I take it that means thursday yesterday...
f*** that. Im trying my hardest to attract mates to come to the Withdean with me, some of them have since deserted to Charlton, but on the whole many are still interested in coming. At least 5 of them have expressed an interest in coming with me this season, and obviously when they heard the draw this was the match they wanted to come to. But they have ZERO chance of getting a ticket.
This was a huge opportunity to attract new fans. A big tie, get many in for the first time, many will then come again. But now, the club have other ideas and only existing fans and people that have attended before have any chance of getting a ticket.
Im going to have trouble explaining this to people I said I would get a ticket.
