5 of us have to collect too but not bothered as it's quite small and we'Re on the day trip so will be quite central anyway.

Wonder if anyone who had to collect in Munich has to in Porto too. If the draw is truly random, some will.
We are a team of one half.

People just emails or text msg as well? We’ve had nothing yet but still not been picked for any of the collections so law of averages we must be picked soon

When club say 400 have to collect do we think it’s 400 lead customers drawn so could be well over a thousand assuming most get more than a couple of tickets in a transaction or just 400 in total so maybe only 100 odd lead customers are drawn out??

Feels like they're drawing lead customers out and then stopping when that number hits 400.

I got 9 for Bayern, 8 for Porto and look to have avoided both which would be highly unlikely with the first one.

Yeah must be then. Chances are pretty low on being selected then as it currently stands

Same: 9, then 8 (plus the extra one in the 5 sale today). Not heard anything.

The 8 that we bought in the first sale all have either 9 or 10 credits from the 10 needed. So does like it is genuinely random and not just aimed at high credits.

personally i think they are starting off with selecting the bigger groups for collection then will work down to the single /smaller groups.

Nor me. I’d have opted for collection on this.
I’ve been to Porto too many times so be nice to find something new to do!

No doubt mine will be in Juventus or something next year surrounded by riot vans.

I think they are working their way up to 100% where possible (eg: not napoli , zenit etc).

It was 6% in Munich, 16% for Porto.

I think they are doing it the right way IMO. Testing and trialling it and slowly easing it in.

Even if it is a slight ballache to collect, if it fucks the touts off im all for it

It can be more than a slight ball ache. We go to pretty much all of them and need to keep each trip as cheap as possible. The cheaper routes often get us into the city on match day and often not till the afternoon. This has worked fine for years. We got to Munich at 3.30 and had to rush to collect tickets. We’re due to get to Porto at the same time which would no doubt be too late for the in town collection due to kick off being an hour earlier.

If we had to collect every game it might rule out some cheaper routes. So it’s not just inconvenience it’s changing the habits we’ve enjoyed for years and increasing costs.

There’s other ways to beat the touts without fucking up your trip. Proof of travel is tried and tested. It’s worked in the past. Don’t know why that working non-disruptive solution can’t be used.

Proof of travel was being faked. Its easy to fake a boarding card PDF. And the club has no way to check it is genuine.

It only really works for visa travel with a photo.

It was 6% in Munich, 16% for Porto.

Given the sterile area where the coaches were parked in Naples, then was very heavily policed, and were the vast majority of fans left from to get to the ground, they could have easily done collection for Napoli.

That way only the 1450 who went would have got a credit

Bearing in mind, we spent at least an hour circling the stadium & surroundings areas on buses without toilets before the match and an hour locked in the ground  afterwards. You have to ask yourself, having used time off work, spent money on flights, hotels and match tickets. Why does a 90 minute match have to occupy the whole day.
