Topic: Crystal Palace v Liverpool: Ticket details

[kalle-anka]

Liverpool FC has released the following information regarding away ticket sales for the Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace on Saturday November 23.

The game at Selhurst Park is scheduled to kick-off at 3pm GMT.

We have received a total allocation of 2866 stand tickets for this ALL ticket fixture, this is a reduction compared to the allocation of 2998 that we received last season.

Crystal Palace have confirmed that the reduction is following a safety review of the visitors section and have advised that they are unable to allocate any additional seats.

Supporters not in possession of a ticket are urged not to travel.

As part of our commitment to improving the way we distribute tickets, Liverpool FC has worked closely with Crystal Palace on a pilot scheme that gives season ticket holders and Members the opportunity to use their stadium access cards for stadium entry for both home and away Premier League fixtures. 

Two hundred fans will be randomly selected to take part in this trial for travelling supporters.

Those fans randomly chosen will not receive a paper ticket for the game against Crystal Palace but must take their LFC stadium access card instead. 

The selection process will take place following the sale of tickets with the lead booker notified by email on Thursday November 7. Further details will be provided, including seat details and turnstile entry point at Selhurst Park. An SMS will also be sent in the lead up to the game.

Crystal Palace fans will also take part in the trial on a reciprocal basis when they visit Anfield in March 2020. 

A list of FAQs can be found here.

Ticket prices

Adult: £30
Over 65 & 18-21s: £20

This is a great move moving forward to stop touts.

Well done LFC and CPFC

[swoopy]

agreed.. this is a great thing to try

[dudleyred]

Great initiative and hopefully successful

[RainbowFlick]

Interesting this. Wonder how it'll work in practice. Doesn't necessarily seem to allude to an ID check.

Obviously touting is awful but there are genuine regulars who use other spares. Especially the younger lads. Could be controversial.

[RedPat]

The 200 card access is welcome but the sizeable reduction in the allocation is very disappointing.I don't buy this safety review  bullshit wolves were allocated 3036 for Palace away this season.This trend of away allocations being reduced this season however small seriously impacts the credits required infact if you haven't got 9 credits from last season you are really going to struggle for aways this season.

[PaulKS]

All for the trial with the card - makes sense but a part of me hurts as I am a bit of a anorak and like keeping my away tickets... have to get with the times eventually though.

As for the allocation reduction, I am not sure if that is a freudian slip by the club because we didnt get that many last season, it was more like 2,900, correct me if I am wrong. EDIT; it was 2,915

Entirely possible they realised after Wolves but it is worth pointing out that it’s an absolute shithole.

We got an extra allocation last season.

Like the idea in practice but can see this causing problems for some if selected. (Given that they have not yet sorted out the away credits issues to help stop touting) A better idea than collecting on the day thpugh as we have been delayed going there before, and it's usually the longest journey of the season

Just hope the scanners work so people are not stuck outside!

Ah, my bad. Cheers

[TeddyTime33]

Like the idea here and it makes sense that this could be a way forwards across the league but I doubt it will combat touting as much as collections would. Maybe once the fan update is complete

A big problem will be those who only go to away games, and maybe don't even know where their card is. And will there be a process for if someone loses their card en-route? I bet the club haven't thought of the first scenario at least.

I can imagine there's going to be a lot of scrambling around, with a lot of people needing their cards back for the European game on the Wednesday!

[monkeyharris]

I can see this going away very quickly
Every ground has a duty of care to get away supporters into a ground quickly and safely
As soon as an experiment like this cause build up of queues due to confusion about who is using what ticket then the away clubs will not want to be involved
I envisage that Palace(and most clubs) do not care who comes in from our fanbase and touting issues  as long as they get in(and buy  beer and food)
The queues at Chelsea, Southampton each year are bad enough - Watford was dangerous already last season

Why would it causes queues, you just go to the turnstile and swipe in with your card like you do up here.  There is no difference.

They are not asking for ID or anything, just swipe in.

Cannot see why this would fail.

Haha, I'm the same, proper geek with footie and gig tickets!

With our TO that's so renowned for its efficiency?! I can easily see all 200 not scanning properly!

[dudleyred]

wouldnt be at all surprised if the Premier league looked on with interest at this if not already

always wondered why the premier league dont select a ground entry system and make it a playing regulation that you all use the same

Entirely remove paper from the ticket process for both home and away fans.

good for the environmental aspect and helps combats touting

You been to an away ?
Where firstly you get funnelled and searched..and depending on the club that can take from no time at all to far too long
Then 1100-3200 people unfamiliar with the ground and ticketing scanners take much longer getting in than it ever takes at home. Then when one of the scanners goes wrong and the local stewards wish they were anyhwere else than being asked to help
Chelsea is ridiculous..Watford last year as I said was full on dangerous with anarchy reigning around the turnstiles as their stewards has lost control

Add in another entrance only for those with cards and i can only see those situations above getting worse

Palace to be fair aren't terrible at getting us in..just no room in the concourse by the bars when you do get in

Yes I do actually.

Where have you got 1300 unfamiliar with the ground from?  And where does it say one entrance?

Still don’t see the problem with this.

[monkeyharris]

I picked those numbers as our rough estimate lowest (Bournemouth) and Highest(Newcastle)..and by unfamiliar I mean no matter how many season in a row you've been to each ground its still not as automatic as getting into Anfield..even the action of where's the scanner, putting the ticket in the wrong way slows a crowd down

Says it here about those being chose for this experiment will be give turnstile information. I am presuming/assuming it will be a one entrance only scanner that can read LFC seaso's and member cards

"Further details will be provided, including seat details and turnstile entry point at Selhurst Park. "

Totally agree, people saying how can it go wrong have probably never experienced any issues getting in. Arsenal away in the champions league some years back is one example where I think a turnstile stopped working and it got very crowded around the away end and got worse closer to kick off. Similar could happen if our cards don't scan through at palace away with loads in same queue behind wanting to get in membership card or paper ticket.

[Hightown Phil]

So something could happen that could happen anyway?

[sonofkenny]

So something could happen that could happen anyway?

Exactly, if a turnstile fails it fails for everyone.

This is a great move by the club and I hope others follow.

[carl123uk]

This is the start of worse things to come. Everyone cry arsing about every little problem with tickets has caused this. How many lads on here who use an account but will have zero access to the card? Beginning of the end

[KOTP]

yep its terrible that the club are starting to clamp down on a major problem such games being a closed shop, stopping people having hundreds of cards with credits in the same name and helping to stop touting absolute disgrace of them to do this!

[RedPat]

Good about time this closed shop started opening up a bit.

[scouser102002]

yep its terrible that the club are starting to clamp down on a major problem such games being a closed shop, stopping people having hundreds of cards with credits in the same name and helping to stop touting absolute disgrace of them to do this!

And the people tantruming over it are probably the ones who fall into those categories you mentioned.

[Hij]

This is the start of worse things to come. Everyone cry arsing about every little problem with tickets has caused this. How many lads on here who use an account but will have zero access to the card? Beginning of the end

This is exactly what should be happening.

Edit: How worse can it get? The monopoly of tickets that are kept amongst a small circle might finally be spread out? Happy fucking days!

[carl123uk]

These tickets will only go into hands of the corporates. None of us with zero credits will get a look in anyway.

[Shanklygates]

These tickets will only go into hands of the corporates. None of us with zero credits will get a look in anyway.

Corporates? How do you mean?  They've not said what happens if people don't turn up though I assume they'll lose the credit.
Oh, if they tidy up the closed shop? Let's be positive at this stage. It's a start.

[TeddyTime33]

It will take time for the closed shop to open again and even if STH get first pick before members anyway so

Well we know it's not going to be us who go most week on spares is it? They will put it out straight to corporate as money talks.

[KOTP]

if they are gonna put them straight to corporate they could just do that now be reducing the allocation available in general sales

[sonofkenny]

Well we know it's not going to be us who go most week on spares is it? They will put it out straight to corporate as money talks.

This myth amuses me, usually perpetuated by people who are part of the closed shop and don’t want it to change.

The club are doing a lot of good things at the moment and if that means opening up tickets to more people then i am all for it.

[stoz]

As unfortunate as that scenario may be for some, hasn't it always been the case when using someone elses card, that the arrangement could end at any moment?

[bertiemee]

These tickets will only go into hands of the corporates. None of us with zero credits will get a look in anyway.

That's something that is being overlooked. Why do corporates get any say in aways? It's ridiculous and they're easy to spot in the away end.

And in regards to people going on spares. I feel strongly about this because it's created the type of culture in our away end that people are committed to travelling even when chasing spares. A lot of lads aren't getting sorted until just before kick off a lot of the time. Without these lads (and to be fair, a lot of them are younger scousers just loving the fucking carnage) then our away end is going to be fucking dead.

Rant over

[bertiemee]

As unfortunate as that scenario may be for some, hasn't it always been the case when using someone elses card, that the arrangement could end at any moment?

Oh yeah, nice one for travelling around Europe in my name but I'll be going to Madrid and not you. Nice one kid. 

[KOTP]

which is why those of us wanting changes to the system want it to be changed so the person attending the match get the credit not some bloke who never leaves UK except for a final
