Topic: Paris St Germain (A) - 28/11/18

[nickyd186]

The club still haven't got us our full entitlement. The rules are absolutely clear:

38.01 Home clubs must make at least 5% of the total approved UEFA capacity of their stadium available exclusively to visiting supporters, in a segregated, safe area. In addition, visiting clubs are entitled to purchase 200 top-category tickets for their VIP supporters, sponsors, etc., but they are not obliged to take the full allocation (see Articles 16 and 23 of the UEFA Stadium Infrastructure Regulations and Article 19 of the UEFA Safety and Security Regulations).

We're entitled to 2396 general admission tickets in addition to the top-category tickets.

Why aren't the club fighting our corner on this? An extra 400 tickets would see fans who've travelled to Europe five times over the last two seasons sorted. No effort from the club to match the effort of those loyal fans.

The away section only holds 2000 plus psg sold the rest of the ground out back in September can't blame LFC for this. Surely its UEFAs fault for allowing home clubs the opportunity to sell home tickets in packages

If LFC got their act together and insisted on the full allocation required by UEFA rules on day one - and raised with UEFA if refused - and we still didn't get the tickets - I'd blame PSG and UEFA. As it is I blame LFC for not fighting our corner.

no chance it's dropping to 4 then - gutted

[Tommypig]

Anyone able to hazard a guess as to how many are on 6?

[Redman0151]

Not confident with 5 to be honest, 3 of us after them, feeling like we'd be lucky to get 1. Hopefully a decent boozer round the ground anyway

[Barry Banana]

Anyone able to hazard a guess as to how many are on 6?

The last game (2000 allocation) sold out almost instantly on 5 - and those people will now have 6 - so 2000 should now have 6. The second two sales are dependant on people who qualify not buying.

the way tickets have a way of going missing with our ticket office im not even confident in the first sale!

It says guaranteed

[KOTP]

It says guaranteed

it does but forgive me for being sceptical considering the last game with 2k allocation sold out on 5 meaning 2k are now on 6 either some went missing for the last so those with credits missed out as tickets went missing or it will sell out on exactly  6 this time so I don't exactly believe much that comes out of the ticket office to be honest

We all know there is probably more than 2000 tickets...how convenient.. exactly 2000 in Belgrade... exactly 2000 in Paris...everyone guaranteed is just them controlling the sale and the numbers...I bet those like me who went to Belgrade know we could have got a few more in the block for sure...if Tony is saying they are logistically visiting the grounds and weighing up all things 'away day' then they are manipulating the volume of tickets they are willing to sell...in my opinion...it's bent..we all know it

There was exactly 2000 tickets in the block for sale for Belgrade. As Paris is the same it would be a scandal if everyone on 6 wasn’t guaranteed cos it would mean some are being palmed off.

There’s a lot wrong with the way we do ticketing but 6 being guaranteed is actually quite heartening.

[uppercentenary92]

Heard in Belgrade that we never sold our full allocation due to safety concerns, There certainly wasn't 2,000 in our end, and the club held 100's back due to this. Maybe 300-500 tickets. Just makes the skimming off for corporate that much easier for Paris

Hell of a lot of empty seats in Belgrade. Even once everyone was finally in.

There was 200 hundred seats blanked out in middle of block for Belgrade. These were for Hospitality Members I'm guessing there be the same amount for them for this.

One of the travelling stewards in our end said LFC bought 500 extra tickets for our end not to sell, for safety reasons.

[elmothered1]

the 4 sale has only in event tickets remain yet the 5 sale doesnt. as 2000 tickets sold out on 5 for belgrade how can the club be sure it will drop to 5 this time when 2000 exactly got belgrade. safe to assume we didnt have 2000 for belgrade in first place?

[Craig S]

Good if they did. I didn't feel comfortable getting in or out of there with the numbers we actually took. It was really congested at the top corner and the stairs.

[Red_Mist]

No shock if it is 70Euro but lets face it thats £60 not exactly far off what i pay about £55 a match for anfield so cant complain to much

Or £70

[chrissimpson81]

1st Euro away that I'll be travelling without a ticket

Bottom left corner was basically empty but nobody would move down from the top poor managed by stewards

[LONGWORTH]

there was a Lady LFC steward who was urging us to move to the left hand side -think there were some latecomers arriving 15 minutes after kick off .  Reckon there were 200 spare seats

[kevlumley]

I personally think some fans shoot themselves in the foot not going. Napoli wasn't full.

Belgrade, i don't know, im only guessing, but i wonder if there were a few who found it difficult logistically getting the ground. As luck would have it we got a taxi, who dropped us at the home end, so missed all the commotion getting in the away end. But did all those get in? Might explain some of the empty seats.

Kevin people buy for loyalty and don't appear for the game- don't agree with it for the most part but it happens

I qualified and travelled to Napoli. Was ready book Belgrade (incl overnight train from Budapest...) but didn’t qualify as it sold out on 5. The fact that it wasn’t full is quite irritating.

I moved to the left as soon as I was in, but that top corner was horrible. I don't blame LFC if they visited, as Tony says they do before allocation announced, and had seen a single small exit, 2 turnstiles, 4 unisex portaloos between 2k people and we're possibly aware of potential congestion and stewarding issues.

I went to the ground the next day to get a programme. There was a gate at their end we just walked through and got into their curve to take some photos. There are no toilets at in that end either, they must just piss at the back or behind the stand. The portaloos were apparently put in after LFC demanded toilets. Normal away end has zero toilets.

How are some of these places allowed to host CL games? Rather than fan welfare UeFA are more interested in how many 5* hotels they have, how much sponsorship they can plaster over the place and how many canapes they can cram down their greedy necks.

I think it was full as don’t forget people don’t sit down at Euro always so you often have 2 people in the space of one seat and that was the case at the back of the stand.  I arrived early had shoes taken off to check for pyro!! And we couldn’t get down to our allocated row as stewards stopping anybody getting down the front. 

[Thomas]

sorry just keeping up here - people on 4 (me) are looking at an allocation of more than 2.5/2.6k going forward?

[Tiz Lad]

Definitely mate - Napoli 2639 Sold out, even though only 1450 traveled, so that many will almost certainly have 5.

[DOG-LFC8]

Napoli dropped to 2 credits so there will be a small number of people now on 3 credits (including Napoli)

The away end pic in the info doesn't look anywhere big enough for 2000

[gazzathered]

Won’t manage to get a ticket, all booked to go, will there be like a square where we can all congregate to watch the game ?

[kevlumley]

I cant qualify whether the missing seats were some not travelling, some not able to get in, some not able to get on buses as there weren't enough, or other. I think Belgrade was a bit of an unknown. But you could say there were lots of spare seats in Naples.

Hang in there, because if you get one more game, on a small allocation, you will probably be ok in future rounds. Hope so, as we need as many like you as we can get in the ground.

[kevlumley]

That access gate V looks like Roma away, Belgrade, as in very narrow, going to take a while to get in.

[ant]

From Paris down to Turkey…

[davidsteventon]

Upper tier or lower tier?

[Bembo10]

Booking hotel for Paris today, what areas are people staying in and where will be people plotting up for a bevvy on the day?

[kalle-anka]

Upper tier or lower tier?

Went for lower, block 102.

[davidsteventon]

Went for upper 302 in the end.

You get wristbands here-wonder if they are to stop upper and lower mixing?

[cheshiremike]

Nice and stress free for once
