They should drop it down by 1/2 credits a day or at least go all 7 then 3 or more and 1 or more.

7 to fucking 0? Who is that helping?
people with credit?

Was personally expecting this to be a straight free for all to be honest, what with the uselessness of the ticket office

Don't be a c*nt all your life. You know what I meant. All home credits then 0 isn't rewarding people with credits - its basically saying if you were on the ACS for the Europa then you're fine - I think all games up to United went to general sale and judging from the numbers from the final there was 17k in the ballot on 7 with a 1 in 7 chance so there must be around 20-21k with 7 or more. We've also now got a bigger capacity. If I've read the info right, only members have to have any credit so that number is then lower. Even if you estimate that 5k were STH on 7 in that ballot, that's 15k... and all those STH can just say they fancy it now, which is another fuck you to members from the club.

It's irrelevant to me anyway cos I won't be buying anything other than local tickets this season, if they don't continue them I won't go.

Ouch.

Plymouth auto cup payment bounced for me and my brother, missed the sale by an hour and it sold out. And now only have 2 of the 4 credits rather than the 4 I would have had. Done every FA Cup game for the last two seasons home and away though ;D

The criteria does seem quite high and quite strict, which means it won't sell out at these levels -clearly they want to make it possible for people to still enter the ladder or it becomes a closed shop.

Like the league campaign, this basically sends the message that attending a mid range of games is pointless as you get fucked off to the back of the queue every year. Either buy every single one and go (or sell onto mates), or just go occasionally on spares. No real reward for doing occasional games and being a sort of 'mid tier' supporter. It also increases the motivation for people to buy and not necessarily attend themselves which I don't think is right.

But then on the flip side you'd imagine there will be lots of tickets held back for normal game by game sales and if you want to get tickets for the FA Cup and the League Cup if you're on the ball you'll definitely be able to- I was just lacking last season. I don't envisage those competitions being a major problem for people if they try.

I've lost out on the FA Cup and won't be with my mates, but overall I think they've done alright - I just think perhaps they've been a bit too strict on Europe. All of us bar one qualify for Europe auto cup and one who didn't had 3, but even a 5 sale after 7 would have meant loyalty for those with at least one group stage game and all the knock outs but who didn't quite make them all for whatever reason. Again the message that sends out to people on 4/5/6 is that next time when they can't go for whatever reason - just buy it anyway and sell it on because otherwise your loyalty counts just as much as someone who attended absolutely none of the games.

League Cup and Europe sorted for me then.

Yeah with it being maximum credits as well it shouldn't be too hard to get our same spec for Europe in the CL.

Thanks for the heads up Vauxy and Doug.

As a ST will be sorted for all but had all the credits anyway.  Very unfair the drop to 0, unless the club are confident that most tickets will be bought in the first sale, so therefore unlikely to need any further steps.  Can't see it though, we have a much bigger capacity now, which makes it impossible for everyone of a 45000 capacity to take all the seats in a 55000.  Strange.

DIFFERENT DATES FOR ST HOLDERS

http://www.liverpoolfc.com/tickets/acs-season-ticket-holders


ADDITIONAL ENROLMENT PERIOD – SEASON TICKET HOLDERS ONLY

Liverpool FC are able to offer *Season Ticket Holders the opportunity to sit with their friends and family and also the option to re-locate to other areas of Anfield during an additional Auto Cup Scheme enrolment period.

Season Ticket Holders wishing to take advantage can:
•Choose to enrol with other Season Ticket Holders who have not yet enrolled
•Choose to enrol with other Official qualifying Members
•Guarantee seats for one, two or all Cup competitions (subject to availability)

Enrol from 10am Thursday 15 June 2017 UNTIL 8.00am Monday 19 June 2017 to guarantee a seat.

*The Additional Enrolment Period is only available to Season Ticket Holders who did not enrol in to the Auto Cup Scheme during Season Ticket Renewal.

How can I enrol?

Online - for a step by step guide, please click here

Disabled supporters - please click here

Can I enrol with an Official Member?

Capacity for Cup schemes is limited; we therefore advise that you enrol during the above period if you want to be guaranteed a seat.  Subject to availability, you will have the opportunity to sit alongside friends and family who are Official Members. Please click here for further information on enrolling into the Auto Cup Scheme with Official Members.

What else do I need to know?
•You will be required to provide credit/debit card details.
•To capture your payment details a charge of 10 pence will be applied per supporter per competition; the credit/debit card you provide will be the card that future Auto Cup Scheme payments will be taken from
•Season Ticket Cards must be linked via ‘Friends and Family’ to ensure you can select seats with other Season Ticket Holders you want to sit with.
•If you enrol into the Auto Cup Scheme at a concessionary rate you will be charged this rate for your ticket for all home cup matches. E.g. If you purchase a young adult ticket, you will be charged the young adult price for all relevant home Cup matches.
•Supporters aged 17 – 21 years (young adult) on or before 1st August 2017 should ensure your date of birth is updated on our ticketing system

Missed the Sion game due to moving house but got all other 6! Fuming isn't the word... 7-0 is a complete joke

To be fair it's the 0 that's a joke

Could easily have done 7,4,1 then 0

FFS, I've only just realised this isn't a wind-up.  I have 6 from 7 from that season which not only ensured I didn't get a final ticket chance but now I find out I might miss out on the CL.  I've been to every CL home game for the last 15 years so I'm mightily pissed off. 

Anyone got any figures for STs and members with 7?  That would give a clue as to how difficult this will be on the 23rd June.  Perhaps the club have thought that with the new stand they'll won't have a huge demand for ACS (?!?)

That's what I meant by the 7-0. Even starting on 7 then 4 then 2 then 1 would have been better. Typical of our TO to forget common sense in these matters though

Just can't understand it - so if ACS sells out to people with 0 - what will the first sale be when they go on sale properly? 0??? Or will they revert to 5+ games?

Thanks a lot LFC  :no I have 6 of the 7 matches from the Europa League and that counts for nothing. Just got to hope now that I get lucky if there is a European auto cup sale to all members, or that when the tickets go on sale for the first match, that they still use previous ticket sales from the Europa League as priority.

No you aren't reading it right mate.  If you are a ST not bothered about sitting with friends who are Members, you get first dibs.  If you are a ST and you want to sit with members who have the right credits, you get 2nd dibs.  If they haven't got the credits, then you run the risk of getting nothing together anyway on the 3rd dibs.

That bit about the previous credits requirement dropping gradually from 7 to 0 definitely wasn't on the page when I read it this afternoon. Feeling less angry than when I wrote my previous post an hour ago, but it would have been nice if they could have posted the details correctly first time round.

As others have said feeling less let down than before.  However, such u turns just show how much of a laughing stock the club is off the field.  The lack of credibility is alarming for an organisation in control of so much money/power.

Piss poor from the Club again. I have all the credits but I would be seriously pissed off if I was one short. The club would prefer a 0 credit sale for all so as to maximise membership sales and get the maximum number of occasional visitors through the turnstiles.   Should be a gradual reduction in credits until sold out.

Odds of getting an auto cup seat for the CL with 3 EL games? Had both the FA & LC ACS that season but didn't do the EL - what an idiot!  :butt
We’ll still finish in top four - and they won’t. You can quote me on this in May.
