We all know how our ticket office work. At the end of the day you play the game or you miss out.

As far as I am aware they have never ever done that for home cup games, everyone knows that, it is not new.

It is also the right policy as far as I am concerned.

did the auto cup scheme go down to all members as well?

That's why the policy isn't fair - Should drop from the minimum of ACS down

Once you take into account 2000 season tickets and around 2500 of hospitality seats, that figure of 9000 is quickly halved at a minimum. I would probably have thought there are additional tickets to sponsors too.

Free for all on Monday.... what a load of bollox. The system will grind to a halt again and people will complain. There won't be an issue for people getting tickets, but why make it more difficult by creating a scenario where the system will be overloaded.

Plus why give someone with 1 CL credit the same chance as someone with 3+ EL and 1 CL credit to pick good seats?

It would have been so easy to stagger sales much better/fairer over 2 or 3 days.

Yeah I think they should look at staggering sales more often as its a fairer way to do it. But having said that, they very often have sales for the first game using the previous seasons credits and then move forwards using the current seasons games as priority after that. In previous years the aim has always been to ensure you get the first one on your purchase history and then move forwards into the next rounds with it. Ultimately there were loads available for Sevilla in the end to all members as we managed to ensure 2 more of our lot got on the ladder. I have some sympathy that if people were unable to get to Sevilla, they didn't buy a ticket and now suffer for their honesty, but if it had been me and I was unable to go based on what I know of how tickets have been sold over the last 12 years then I'd have bought one and moved it on knowing that was my chance to ensure I was 95% on for the rest of the tournament (with Sevilla returning tickets, not even Sevilla is 100% for all games to Semi should we make it). For what it's worth I had all seven Europa games and the final and did Hoffenheim and Sevilla.

I can't understand what's so hard about staggering it as well: surely it's all on a computer and they just set the parameters and sale dates.

Presumably just like to get them out the way as soon as possible

Think that's the main point, they just want to sell the game out asap which is unfortunate for us who have Europa home credits.

Very few kop tickets for members on Monday. Be interesting to see how low this falls. Maribor not likely to bring many, so everyone who has Sevilla should be sorted. May even drop to all members.

Really hoping for a kop pair tomorrow, would be pretty annoyed if I don't. In the case there's no pairs, reckon 2 singles are possible if you're in within 10 mins?

Indeed,  they aren't selling the Maribor away game to those with just Moscow so why sell the home game to those with just Seville?

I'm in the queue now; does this mean I'll be chucked out again at 9.15 and have to rejoin?

It's a bag of shite. Last time they didn't empty the baskets, but you were kicked out. I went back in and the tickets were still in my basket. Everyone has put the lop tickets in their baskets now, so none in there at the minute.

So when do you try to join the correct queue for Maribor?

Atm if you join now your joining the local sales queue.....?.

Absolutely farcical, why not give at least a two hour break between sales so it's clear to everyone?

Edit: forgot it was our TO sorting this out.....
