Should be ACS before STHs

i disagree with that, credit is credit no matter how you get it. ACS is to guarantee you all homes, nothing else

[Welshred]

Why? Just coz you've ticked a box doesn't mean you are any more deserving of a ticket than someone who also went to the same matches

The same reason why season ticket holders get first dibs on away games when they go down to people without credits. Just cos they ticked a box on a form years ago doesn't mean they're anymore deserving of a ticket than someone else who hasn't been to the same number of matches they haven't been. STHs had the chance to join the ACS, those who didn't bother shouldn't get the same chance as those who did.

IF we are in the Europa League Quarter Final the 1st leg is the 16th of April, take it we would play the Sunday Semi.

What score did we beat Blackburn? Missed it

Roy Hodgson scored the winner apparently

[MerseyParadise]

No ballot , 40 thousand for a semi because there isn't the same sponsor commitment nor commitment to the "football family"   , anyone with all the homes was sorted in 2012. if we don't get utd or arsenal in the semi the team we play wont do 40,000 and we will have their spares aswell

The final was something daft like 25,000 and was a ballot after seasies and aways

[LFCStephen]

i know people like to plan ahead and fair enough, but to be honest no one can ever second guess our ticket office correctly, god know what they will do!

It's 31,000 for a potential semi - that's what we got against the bitters 2012

If anyone is looking at semi finals, depending on who we could draw, Arsenal actually got 42,882 for their semi last year

Sorry mate but that's not a fair argument. The ACS is capped at a certain number so that people who don't want to join it for whatever reason can make alternative arrangements for tickets. There are all kinds of reasons why people don't join the ACS which doesn't have anything to do with whether they go the match or not

[MerseyParadise]

My mistake , all I know is I had the homes (Oldham , Utd, and Stoke I think) and got a ticket without a ballot. Bolton to general sale and a high away attendance should mean seasies and members with homes are sound.

Last season Arsenal got 42,882 due to Wigan only taking 22,807. Hull got 32,011 and Sheffield United got 31,796. We'll probably get around 32,000 tickets if we get through.

Apologies for having the confidence we'll beat a Championship team now that Danny Sturridge is back in the team.

We'll agree to disagree then

[ScubaSteve]

Being in the ACS and not having a ST id like to agree.

ST certainly shouldn't go ahead of members thats for sure, what have they done to deserve priority. Its not our fault we can't get hold of one.

Id say scousers get priority (don't hurt me). Win for the city lads

that was because they got wigans returns, we'd get about 31'000 if we got there

[Alistairlfc]

the difference was there was no aways in 2012. most people with away credits will have at least 3 credits now so that takes away about 5000 from the allocation compared to 2012.

[EstonianRed]

Two my cards on ACS, would love to go to Wembley with my own name. But first lets really do Blackburn a good one, lots of people taking it granted already

[LFCStephen]

Depends on who we were to draw, someone like Bradford or Reading for example don't have stadiums bigger than 25,000 so could easily have returns.

1st up lets get past Blackburn

True but you have to expect most teams will sell out.

[LFCStephen]

Thats the issue with me, i have the aways but not homes, hope we get a look in (IF we get through)

[annieroadaggro]

We'll agree to disagree then

Fair enough. For example in my case, I have a seasie and my mate has one next to me. He's serving in the Marine's at the moment therefore isn't going the matches (my old fella is going instead). Because our seasie's are in the lower Annie road, 9 times out of 10 we get moved from our seats due to the away fans and we'd get an alternative seat and sent paper tickets through the post even if we were in the ACS. This therefore means his ticket automatically gets posted to his address where he mostly isn't living at present, meaning it's not convenient to be in the ACS for us, it's better for me to order both tickets to my address!

that's a fair point, id still expect  seasies an members with 1 away , then seasies with all homes, members with all homes to just scrape in .

aways don't get a higher priority than homes like, 1 away wouldn't sort you, you'd need 3 games (home or aways) to be guaranteed

[Thomas]

Member with 2 homes and 2 always like to think we would be well in the mix for semi

[gregorio]

Touts would be all over it

Quarter final draw was made 90 minutes ago and we're into the second page of a debate on semi-final tickets, ACS not having priority and ST's having priority over members. Welcome to the RAWK ticket forum!

Indeed - Have we not fallen at "easy" hurdles before

We should progress but of all seasons surely we can't take this one easy----Can we ?

Both will want United and Arsenal. They'll fight over that.

Do the KO times stay the same as previous rounds? If so that would mean if we're on BT it will be either Sat 5:30 or Sun 4:00

Yeah I've read somewhere we'll be on BT aswell. Sat 5.30 would do me.

[andy07]

Blackburn generally bring anything between 200 and 1000, though they had 3000+ the day they won "t'league."   Anticipate an away allocation of 2000 for this.
