LOYALTY POINTS SCHEME
A benefit of being an Official Supporters Club is that we can request match tickets on behalf of our members for City away games. The matches are often oversubscribed and we receive a restricted allocation of tickets. Didsbury Blues operate our own branch loyalty points scheme to decide who gets these tickets (although those travelling on an official branch trip will get tickets ahead of those who travelling independently, regardless of how many loyalty points they have)
Our loyalty scheme has nothing to do with MCFC Ticket Points – it is designed to reward members who take an active part in the branch.
POINTS AWARDED
Points are awarded to members for a number of activities including:
- Applying for tickets and travel for away games.
- Each home game travelled to and from with Didsbury Blues.
- Attending branch meetings
- Attending committee meetings
- Assisting with running the branch, including organising/stewarding travel, home and away.

Points will automatically be awarded to travel season card members.
