International Membership

Last July I took out International Membership for the 21/22 season. £25 seemed reasonable, the benefits were not exactly massive but good to feel part of the City Family, eh?

In November an email arrived apologising for the delay in the shipping of the welcome pack due to 'supply chain issues'.

Yesterday the welcome pack arrived. A pair of socks, a pen and a membership card. No promised personalised message from a first team squad member but heigh ho, whatever, Covid and all that. The box was smart 'though. But is this decent value? Maybe it is. I've been out of the country for so long...

What really irks me 'though is that in November I contacted the club, quoting my membership number,  to see if I could buy a ticket for the Napoli match that would enable me to be with the other City fans. Oh no, came the reply, for that you need to take out full membership. I mean, really? Look, I know that International Membership doesn't confer ticket rights but it's not as if I'll be flying into England every two weeks for the home matches is it? Having said that I did fly over for the Norwich match in the New Year and we all know how that ended up...

Moan over. Good luck tonight lads.

International membership not giving rights to tickets is poor form by the club, hopefully you'll be over for a match at some point.

That International membership is the biggest con going. The fact that you are unable to have access to tickets from it is shoddy.

When we moved and I gave up my ST I assumed an International membership would be the natural thing for me, but when I realised you have no hope of getting tickets through it, even in a ballot, I thought what's the point? 

 

Hopefully when I get the chance to go back to the KP I'll be able to get one or two tickets on here, certainly there's more chance of that than through the club.

I never understood the point of International membership.   :dunno:

 

...did you have to pay customs tax to receive the welcome pack? :o
