Makes more sense. Fair play to the club for making the change.

Interesting.
They've struggled with the claret memberships this year, in some cases not even sending the cards out until 6 or 7 months after purchase.
Imo they continue to do so.
Changing the goalposts now, will obviously impact on some people. This decision should have been made when ticket details were 1st announced. Also I would suggest something in the t/c's when claret memberships were bought last summer (eg "in the event of reaching a cup final claret/cub members who have attended the most games in 2019/20 will get priority..etc etc) might have been in order so claret/cub members  could have ensured they reached a certain number of games to improve their chances depending on individual circumstances.
Obvs the claret/cub members with 5+ and esp 8+ games will be happier in regards to their chances of getting a cup final ticket.

Meanwhile, Man City have about 20 different criteria tiers.

FFS! Bollocks! Wank! Fuckity fuck! (Fair enough to those who have 8 or 5 games, obviously).

8, 5, 3, 1 would have made more sense imo. Although maybe a reason for only 2 criteria is so that those with 0-2 all have a chance of a ticket, making the membership purchase worthwhile.

Imagine the fun if we keep up this level of ST sales and make the FA Cup final when there's less tickets than ST holders.

Here's the Man City criteria

Or if we make the Europa League Final... UEFA tend to give each club about twelve tickets each. Probably won't have to worry about that too much just yet, though.

The new criteria rules me out then...4 games plus 2 on a friends season ticket when he couldn’t make it. Good luck to those that get tickets and make some noise for me at Wembley.

Well done to the club for listening to the fans and changing the criteria as this is much fairer, there will always be people who are disappointed, probably me included as I only have a 6 game history, but it rewards people who have been plenty of games

Just spoke to the ticket office to check how many home games I have been to, answer 7. The guy I spoke to reckons that all the Wembley tickets will have gone by the time I am allowed to try and get tickets. Fair play though to the club for giving priority to those who attend the most games.

Boom!!! Four tickets sorted by 5.15pm in block 133, Row 39, directly behind goal. At GT has said, for once it was easy!

we will obviously sell out but I reckon there will be loads available if you really want to go

if we got 33k and City got 33k that leaves another 23/24k floating about somewhere plus City will struggle to sell out anyways

it won’t be top priority for all those corporates and club Wembley’s

I was also expecting a bracket for ST holders that have been to the League Cup games this season, too. Thought those people should be rewarded.
