I thought their allocation was extra ? Surely they'd be nearer half-way line ?

Your probably right about the players allocation. But I couldn't imagine the general fan plumping for the most expensive tickets (which are feet away from the cheapest).

The club said that for the champions league final it would use the most expensive tickets for its contractual commitments: PRH, hospitality, sponsors etc. I imagine its these groups that have taken up those tickets (although PRH could buy CAT2 yesterday if they wanted).

Of course - I forgot about the PRH sale yesterday.

There were only about 1.2k cat 3. With around 4.5k qualifying for the sale today

I think they are being sent by ticket zone again. Thats why there is no Anfield collection.

I managed to get in with 1 minute wait in the queue. Sorted Block 111
Queue times fairly low so demand doesn't appear great.

Come on you Reds!

Got one last night for a mate, and didn't pick the post option. Called the club today and basically tough ! :no
My own fault, but absolute zero flexibility ! - Istanbul is mad, so i assume it will be near the ground to pick up

They've got CAT 3 in block 410 (upper tier) on sale. Much better perspective and can get restricted views for £36 there too. I'd have got them if they were on sale yesterday. What a pain in the arse.

Liverpool have clearly held blocks back in case they can return to uefa for slow sales. I think we have 409 too.
Look at Chelseas map, they have more blocks:

What a piss take. I know of a few that paid £80 yesterday as the £45 ones were sold out yet 24 hours later they release an entire block of £45 ones.

Hopefully UEFA tickets are opposite the Chelsea fans, if I’m lucky in the ballot

Ballot will fill all blocks in between at the bottom of the diagram I think and then the ones between us and Chelsea at the top of the diagram will be the corporate and local organising bollocks

Weird that ours and Chelsea’s corners are the same side of the ground. Normally opposite.

Nah UEFA always do it like that. Seville, Real Madrid & Spurs were all the same, a reflection of our end rather than direct opposite.

Might be my imagination or the way the schematic looks - but, those Chelsea upper tier blocks look smaller than ours ? Don't seem as many rows.

I think it's because of the hospitality between upper and lower tiers - which doesn't extend round our end.

Their lower tier has less seats due to the exits. Assume we enter from the back, like in madrid

Would think those who missed out on ballot would have interest since they didn’t get the game in Madrid, plus there’s like 20k of them.

That new Cat 3 block alone is about 1k tickets. I think we have been given more than the announced allocation.
The 2 cat 3 blocks were about 1k+ yesterday (rough estimate on rows that were there).

So we have more than the announced 25% of cat 3 tickets.

Yes still some blocks full of red, would think they will reduce this over weekend
