I find it odd the number of people on here who have qualified in ballot draw but don't seem to have experienced or understand the intricacies of the the sales window - how could this possibly be?

About 50 pairs of adult / child left when I checkout just now.

I'm assuming they're all listed as "restricted view" because of the combined price.  Block 231 on the seat view app looked to be a boss spec.

You got a link to the seat view mate? Just sorted in 131.

Just a tick box on their renewal, I know a few that don't have a clue and have had to help them out over the last few seasons buying tickets for the finals they have qualified for.

Anyone going or had experience of these ?

Yeh. Went Kiev with them last year they were spot on. It was a TUI Netherlands flight and they gave everyone on board two complimentary cans of Heineken. Departure slot wasn’t the best as it turned out as we didn’t arrive in Kiev until about 3.30pm but they sorted out transfers. Coming back flight was scheduled to leave 3.00am and left 3.15am so was sound. Couldn’t fault them really.

As I was the only one successful in our group I was able to nab a single in 128 for £60. Means I can afford to get the others a round or two in on the Saturday. Buzzing.
I also got a single for £60 in 128. Buzzing too.

Last year I was in hospital and my dad came to the hospital to watch the final with me. If I dont get a second ticket I'm not going without him. I've told my mate he gets my ticket if I dont get a second.

Click the 'X' on the right side of the details about the ticket (I think).

Not in here. But I'm sick of hearing Season Ticket holders go on about how it's unfair they don't get priority in Europe over "people who've only been to six games all season"

Its the worst when people are taking the auto-cup scheme credits that someone else has paid for over the season and then claiming the final ticket for themselves.

I qualified for the ballot under my 6 auto-cup scheme tickets this season. But I knew I couldn't justify the money for the ticket, travel and accommodation (especially with ST renewal deadline only a week away) so I didn't enter. It's not fair for me to try and take a ticket from someone else so I didn't enter it. Wouldn't even dream of touting it.

But I will say it is unfair knocking those that do qualify for a ticket no knowing how the whole 'buying a ticket' thing. The club have done really well simplifying the process with the auto-cup scheme. Just ticking a box and adding separate card details in order to pay and not having to worry about window sales etc.

In general I agree that people who go to more games over the season should have a much better chance at a final ticket than those who have only done six. It's a wild assumption that they've only done six though. I've done about 20-25 this season. Unfortunately only the European games, a league cup game and a few home games are on my card - the rest I did on other peoples cards. No idea where that would rank me if they all counted though - maybe just enough, maybe not.

So the problem is two fold. I know lads who have done 40+ this season and don't have anything in their name, and that means equally there must be people that have done 40+ this season without attending any of them - and then loads in between who attend a few and don't attend others.

The problem as ever with Liverpool is probably the high demand. If it was easy enough to get into all the different ladders and some games didn't sell out away here and there, then I don't know why anyone would have an issue with people who attend the most games getting to go the final - I think that's what Spurs have done. If you're travelling up and down the country all season, through the good and the bad, then you should be first in line for a final ticket.

As it stands though and with the demand (and the ridiculous allocation) it's hard to find a method that is fairer. I guess one way would have been to go back through European home games back to the Europa League.

Anyone heard anything off Thomas Cook about changing members numbers? My lad's ticket was successful but I'm going and used my members number on the booking but there is no reference to my members number when you buy the ticket? Can'y get through to Thomas Cook to find out though.

Equally, anyone who has all the homes and had bothered to go to Spartak Moscow last season which went to all members, would have got a Barcelona at minimum from it I believe and then they'd have 7 this season and be guaranteed. I couldn't go as my daughter was due and I wish I had to be honest, don't get many chances like that.

I would have happily gone to Moscow, but was a bit stupid and never checked. I know a few people got Russian friends/family to collect them - gaming the system a bit but ah well. That said, I know a group of about 10-15 that all got on the ladder that way and go everywhere now which I'm mildly jealous of...  ;D

Couldn't believe the amount of unfamiliar faces around me at the barca game.  ACS members and STHs had obviously sold on their ticket thinking a 3-0 deficit was impossible to come back from  ::)  Glad they missed the match, but I bet they're some of the ones complaining about not being successful in the ballot, or one of these people who have already listed their final ticket on social media for a stupid amount of money.

Logged on first thing today to buy ticket on behalf of mate who was lucky in ballot.  Pissed off to see that row 1 seats in tier2 blocks were on sale today, whereas as they weren’t on sale yesterday to those with 7+.  Ticket office had clearly held back all row 1 seats yesterday.  Might be petty,  but it doesn’t seem right that those who have been to previous euro aways & homes are stood behind those who have only been to homes.  It’s not as though those of us in the 7+ sale could have waited and bought in today’s sale.
