Going of what they've done in the past, by the time we get to the Paris game, the credits for Napoli and Belgrade will come into the mix.

So if you've got four from last season but jib those games (or one of them) Paris might be more difficult.

So 4 from last season should be OK for Red Star if you're not doing Napoli, do you think?

Hoffenheim for the qualifier, Maribor, Spartak and Sevilla in the groups and then Porto, City and Roma in the knockouts.

Will I be guaranteed a ticket for Red Star Belgrade with Kiev(Don't think it counts anyway)  Roma/United/Dortmund? Might book it if so
That would mean it dropping to one, which is unlikely.

Hate to say it but them lot know how to run things.
https://www.manutd.com/en/tickets-and-hospitality/match-tickets/away-games/champions-league

Allocations given, tickets sold and a breakdown of how many has what credits. People can start booking flights knowing they have a ticket. Not like our shambles. How easy would it be for us to do the same?

Because they would then have to be transparent as to ticket distribution, and there not a snowball's chance in hell that they will do that

Would it work for ours, given the way ours are allocated, we would need to know if we'd been successful for the first game to know whether to apply for the second game, and so on. I guess it could be done somehow.

The only complaint the Mancs I know have about this new system (apart from there being not much prior warning of it) is that they're being charged up front for the tickets I think. They are being charged a random Ł55 for their December match in Valencia even though the two clubs haven't decided on a price yet. They will then get a refund or be asked for more as necessary.

We don't even need to go that far. The Mancs know, and have published their allocations and breakdown of CAT 1's for all 3 games. We could do that and you could work out yourselves, from allocations of other matches if you have a chance of a ticket or not.

So that proves clubs know their allocations well in advance, yet our club waits till 2/3 weeks before the game to let the humble fan know

Just letting us know the allocations - which the Mancs seem to know for their games already - would be a start.

I'm sure that from there, it wouldn't be a giant leap for the club to suggest the number of previous credits that would likely be required. Even if they overstated to compensate for potentially high corporate demand - at least we'd have an idea.

Full transparency would be nice but in its absence, an indication would be helpful.

Yep, fair enough, allocations would definitely help with booking trips. I've booked Belgrade but now sweating on whether we'll qualify.

Probably charging the home fans the same. I was looking to get tickets for the season opener against Atletico, as I was over there, and they
wanted 92 Euro's for a ticket.

Just looked on their website and the tickets roughly located where uts fans will be, for the game against Young Boys are 85 Euros

Be carefull what you wish for - I heard that at Southampton and Burnley away - United staff were pulling their supporters out of the line and checking the users matched the season ticket holder resulting in 3 year bans for some including people who gave the tickets to there brother or mate so a few could travel together -

Your going to end up with people going to the game on their own   - 

Say you go to away games with Joe one week he can't go but you still want to go and your brother can come with you, you won't be able to to take him in that scenario.

Sounds great mate. Loads of people going the match on their own.

Just to clarify, people who have been doing aways for years now can't go to aways?

Well it won’t though will it? It’ll make it considerably harder for people who’ve been going to away games for years to get tickets.

Whatwe have isn’t broken, it’ll probably take someone trying to fix something that isn’t broken before everyone realises just how not broken it is.

I certainly don’t want us to have random collections at UK grounds and people bouncing round away ends asking for ID. If united want to tell people how many people have applied and how many people have how many credits then fine, but I’d rather we didn’t have to experience their travails for what is ultimately a football match you’re attending either after work or on a day off.

There are people with access to cards with 19 games on who will lose them under what you propose. Attendance people have built up over 15 years taken away from them in exchange for the chance to run round like a headless chicken for a few years trying to build up those credits.

And Spurs knew theirs the day after the draw...not only that but they also advised how many points are required to qualify for a ticket as well. Light years ahead of the amateurs that run our TO.

i watched the chelsea game at my sisters. her 12 year old son is severly autistic and i forgot myself and jumped up screaming at the goal and he went nuts. screaming and shouting. scared the fuck out of me. apologised to my sister as i thought id upset him, turns out he was joining in.

Other than us drawing a Russian team (and presumably nobody being arsed to travel) - what potential scenarios would something drop down to all STHs?

its going to take at least 5k allocation I think. barca was 4.8k was it? and it sold out on 1 credit. Although thats a semi final, earlier rounds may be easier

Russia, Ukraine and Turkey would be the only places with big enough stadiums and lack of interests. Spartak was free to anyone, proof of travel was needed to keep credit mind. Will say there will be loads of interest should something like this happen again, 1 away and full homes guarantees final ticket, 1 away also opens up later rounds

Problem is now you need an allocation of over 5k for anything to drop to STH as everyone with Rome will I assume continue to buy. .

Does any team give an allocation of over 5k?

Exactly this especially as people now know it guarantees you a final ticket. Not sure who else gives 5k+. IIRC it was surprising at the time at the size of the Roma allocation.
