Benfica away, ticket selling details
ABJ:
Liverpool FC has released the following ticket information for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final at Benfica on Tuesday April 5.
Kick-off at the Estadio da Luz is at 8pm local time.
The club has received an allocation of 3,250 tickets for this all-ticket fixture. In line with UEFA guidelines, a further 200 top category seats have been allocated to be used as part of the players' allocation, staff, travelling club staff and VIPs.
Ticket prices: £37.61
Ticket sales notice: Benfica and the Portuguese authorities have requested that a robust verification process is in place for the issuing of tickets, and the club will therefore be carrying out a ticket collection process for this fixture.
Following an internal review and consultation with supporter groups after the Internazionale away fixture, we will be making changes to improve the process.
Tickets will be issued in the form of an e-ticket and will include the full name and passport number of the supporter using the ticket and attending the game.
We are working on securing a venue for the ticket collection point and anticipate that it will be in the centre of Lisbon.
We can also confirm that the collection point will be open on Monday April 4 from 5pm-8pm (local time), and again from 10am-7.30pm (local time) on matchday.
Further information regarding the ticket collection process will be sent to the supporter who has made the booking on Friday April 1.
Benfica have informed us that ticket checks will be in place around the stadium before entry is permitted. Therefore, to avoid any issues in Lisbon, we strongly advise supporters adhere to the following:
WHEN COMPLETING THE ONLINE FORM
The details of EVERY SUPPORTER ATTENDING must be provided at point of sale:
First name
Surname
Address
Date of birth
Country of birth
Passport or National Identity Number
Mobile number
Email address
Outbound travel date
Method of travel into Lisbon - plane/car/coach/train

If duplicate supporter details are provided for more than one ticket, only one ticket will be issued for that supporter.
Fans are advised that name changes cannot be made once tickets have been purchased. Refunds will also not be considered for duplicated supporter records.
The ‘ticket distribution’ option is not available for this fixture.
TICKET COLLECTION PROCESS
To speed up the ticket collection process and to assist with queue management, we ask that ONLY ONE of the supporters named on the online form within each booking collects ALL tickets in that booking.
The person making the booking will receive the ticket collection email on Friday April 1, which will include:
A unique reference number for the whole booking
Address and opening/closing times of the ticket collection point
Tickets will be issued to the supporter collecting the tickets only if:
They are named as one of the supporters on the online form
Proof of ID is provided - UK driving license or passport is accepted
They bring a copy of the ticket purchase confirmation email that will include the names of the supporters provided on the online form
They bring a copy of the ticket collection email that will include the unique reference number
As both emails are sent to the supporter purchasing the tickets, it is the responsibility of that supporter to ensure the emails are forwarded to the supporter collecting the tickets.

Redman0151:
Sounds like it's going to be a ballache getting the ticket and into the ground.
Price is sound
RainbowFlick:
Glad it's not too expensive. Guess they'll just use an away from a previous season if we make Paris going forward which i think is fair enough really (well, not that fair if people just bought for the credit, but it is what it is ;D)
I land about 4pm though so a little tight perhaps.
lucho07072016:
I think they said all of this for Porto away and it wasn't enforced at the ground. Let see!
If anyone has a card with away credit they aren't using, please PM. Happy to swap for any home game this season.
deanloco9:
Jeeeeez! No credit counting for this season either :o :o
I wonder if they'll go back to 17/18 or 18/19 and use Rome/Barcelona for guaranteed final ticket if they also do this for the semi final (if we get there)
