This email was circulated to supporters clubs. Clubs in certain countries were purchasing tickets for cards registered to a member in another country. OLSC policy is that your members must be living local to your branch.

Which is spot on.

They only purchase them approx a month before the games as well. I know one and they get a block section of tickets at the front of the Kop. the block varies from game to game but it's always roughly the same amount

It’s absolutely shocking this still happens!! Didn’t know it did? It’s all good that supporter clubs are providing coaches to get to and from Anfield but get hold of tickets the way we all have to do!

I bet the foreign supporter clubs are offered tickets no problem

The part of the club I have to bit my tongue about and try to let it go over my head

Before the advent of technology I think it was a perfectly fine thing. Now I think people of Liverpool being excluded from buying tickets for a Liverpool game is a complete disgrace. If they want tickets then that's absolutely fine, this isn't a 'KEEP OUT THE FOREIGNERS' thing by any stretch of the imagination as I could not care less where anyone is from, but if you want a ticket, get off your arse and try and buy one properly.

Yeah definitely agree with all that! We all have access to the Liverpool website and can purchase a ticket the same way. Not bothered who’s in the ground as long as they’ve gone through the same channels to purchase

I didn't know that about only passing to other members who meet the criteria - a relative of mine used mine recently and I rang to let them know and the club certainly never asked for his membership details, which is lucky as he doesn't have any!

Oh, and if that's an official email they need to sort their grammar out..."if we find your not the registered fan card holder..."

Seen comments about supporters clubs on here, from I understand majority don’t get them some do. But most of them use credits, there’s some with 30/40 season tickets/members cards with full credits .  to be honest most of the Arabs go for corporate tickets anyway. Without the corporate tickets they’d be no new main stand. They expect to make a lot off them to pay back the loan for the main stand.  Even if you compare the corporate product across clubs lfc are behind.

The supporters club I'm a member of used to get a reasonable allocation of tickets but has been reduced year on year and is negligible these days.

I manage to pick up maybe one or 2 games per season via this avenue and I use the acs or my own card for the rest. In the beginning around 2007 I could get maybe 12  per season via the supporters club.

They certainly don't at the supporters club one of my friends uses, they just randomly swap them around on the coach.

Same with the one my mate uses (one of the Wales branches), they get allocated a ticket based on the allocation but the card/spec etc isn't known until they get on the coach and they are handed out on route

Ares is a bit different apply online and ticket is allocated way before game so you know where you’re sitting but get the card on coach

They are supposed to. I know the Brighton lads get 3-4 games a season and they require anyone who accepts a game to have a membership number which they submit to let the club know who is attending. I think where they've been sat has varied from game to game. I've never gone in with them.

Not exactly true or at least not for international supporters clubs. In our supporters club we must apply for tickets twice a year a couple of weeks before the members sales and this is the only 2 times a year our club can get tickets. An international supporters club can apply for up to 30 tickets per half season and can choose certain games to apply for tickets to but the tickets are not guaranteed. Shortly before the members sales we are informed how many tickets we get and for which games but we do not get to choose a stand but must wait until about a month before the game to be informed where in the ground our tickets are for. It is also at this time the tickets are paid for as the price varies after which stand we get tickets for. I guess this could be where the idea of purchasing a month before the game comes from.

I do not know if it is different for UK supporters branches.

It is of course an advantage to be able to apply for tickets twice a year but the international supporters clubs are not offered tickets no problem. No matter the size of the supporters club it is possible to apply for up to 30 tickets twice a year and cannot get any more than that or at other times. There are no guarantee that the supporters club will get the tickets they apply or any at all.

No, they had to fill in a form saying where they bought the ticket and how much they paid, the steward took their ticket and gave them a slip of paper with the seat number on. I guess the accounts of the people who've sold on will be getting banned today.

The problem is that for the £9 tickets all you need is a fan Number . Which can be got off the website at a drop of the hat. (there was a lad on Facebook selling tickets for the Bournemouth game at  120 each he had 6 to sell all under same name and address but different fan number) surely a better way of trying to beat this is to sell them to locals with a active paid membership

Absolutely fuck that.

Not every local kid can afford £30 on the off chance they might then get a £9 ticket in a scramble. These tickets should not be tied in memberships.

Have them all collection only, and do a proper audit of the names on the tickets. Do the work instead of blaming fans.

Good. About time they did that.

Meanwhile the ones by me had been sold on as usual. One got quite angry as the woman next to him was asking questions, but someone needs to and the club don't seem to be interested. I've lost count now of the numbers of emails I have sent ::)

I think a good idea for this is to be a physical collection/purchase of the £9 ticket on first serve basis on the day game! NO FUCKING EXCUSESS!! after all its for locals!(fuck posting/selling them out before the game!)

this may sound stupid but did they use the right turnstile? Also when they pay you do it by bank transfer noting that they’re for tickets, and has anyone else you’ve lent your card to have issues with it?

But would phone the club ASAP and ask them what evidence they have, record the call (and don’t lose your rag when doing so), and if they’re still difficult then go to SOS/FSF

Seems it is pot luck if it gets taken. But I’d wait for the letter the ticket office won’t say anything
