Topic: European homes

[Levitz]

It would help the whole process immensely if you had to log in first, and could only do so if you qualified for the sale and then could only select the number of seats you qualify for.

[rawcusk8]

Saying sold out. Close to just packing this in

[red and white liz]

JOKE

[rawcusk8]

How restricted is the Annie rd view in 127?

[xRedmanLFCx]

There is a lot to be said for the ACS, takes away all this stress.

[Levitz]

How restricted is the Annie rd view in 127?

Don't know. But less restricted than being outside.........

[_Lfc_]

Luckily enough I got sorted in the main stand upper. Was waiting until a better seat popped up but then it cleared my basket??? Never had that happen before, panicked and had to just pick a random seat as there was very little left. Gutted for anyone who misses out with full credits.

[Ossie T]

After a 40min wait, got in and managed to get 2 singles in the basket after 25 mins of scrambling about. Then website crashes! Fuckin joke of a club. Fucked me over for the Porto sale and now this...

[rawcusk8]

Don't know. But less restricted than being outside.........

Got one in the lower Annie Rd severely restricted but ins in

[jbrady10016]

Missed out with all credits 😠

[xRedmanLFCx]

Missed out with all credits 😠

Thats crazy that the club can let that happen. Youve been to all Euro homes this season?

[Dublin Red]

Same, got in just after 9 and sold out.

[jbrady10016]

Thats crazy that the club can let that happen. Youve been to all Euro homes this season?

yeah mate

[willfc]

Keep trying !!! Just got 2 singles, thank fuck for that

[jbrady10016]

Sold out banners across on mine

[red and white liz]

yeah mate

Every home game, league, cup and screwed over for this

[LFC-Dan]

Sorted in the main stand upper earlier. Personally I'm mentally drained from stressing about this sale & the prospect of missing out.

How the club let this happen is ridiculous. Feel for those that missed out.

[mac62]

This is a fucking joke !!! Every bastard home european game for the last 30 years whether FCH or member - got in before 9 and still couldnt get a ticket every time went to buy one it went - seriously fucked off - wasnt this bad in 2005 2007 or 2009 .

[Momos_righteye]

It would help the whole process immensely if you could only had to log in first, and could only do so if you qualified for the sale and then could only select the number of seats you qualify for.

I always felt this should be the way the sales are done, reduce the pressure on the system as well and the stress for the fans

This is why
For this fixture, it is anticipated that there will not be enough remaining tickets to fulfil all Members who have attend four previous games. At this stage of the competition, we would expect fewer tickets to be returned from our contractual ticket obligations, compared to the numbers returned for previous rounds.

Got to fulfil corporate/UEFA. It doesn't matter about the fans.
I wanted 2. Managed to get a single then it timed me out! It's crazy to think you can have all criteria and still not get a ticket.

It is crazy.

[red and white liz]

Blocks have appears, but cannot click on them then vanished

[_Lfc_]

I understand exactly why uefa get the abuse they get in foreign grounds, genuine hard working fans missing out to a bunch of suits who suddenly want to watch a football game, it would make you sick.

[away.days]

ridiculous how people with full credits arent guaranteed... keep on trying guys it always keep on popping up tickets

[LFC-Dan]

It is completely crazy and as others have already said, it isn't like we have a bigger stadium compared to 2005, 2007 & 2009 is it. .

[dudleyred]

Thats crazy that the club can let that happen. Youve been to all Euro homes this season?

its a shite situation and rubbish for people missing out but this isn't entirely caused by the club really. This is UEFA rules which means as we go deeper into the competition they take more and more tickets. Its a shite situation all round and whats wrong with modern football

what the club should have done is used some common sense and applied an element of loyalty beyond the 4 games. people missing out for first time in 30 years is bang out of order

[andy07]

If....we beat city the semi final sale is going to be total carnage.    Another reduction of several hundred.

[gray19lfc]

Joke. Managed to get a single for me and when I tried to get a single for my mate, was told a maximum of 1 ticket per membership card could be purchased, despite no tickets being registered against his card number.

Done all the CL homes this season and Europa last season. Fuming.

[stuartheal]

Managed to get one ticket out of the three of us! Will keep trying!!!!

[andy07]

Should have been:

0815:  All CL +7 Europa
0915:  All CL +6 Europa
1015:  All CL +5 Europa and so on until it sells out.

For the semi final there will be very few so may need Knattspyrnufélag Reykjavíkur from the 1964/65 campaign!

[Dublin Red]

Just got a restricted view in upper annie. They're popping up if you keep refreshing, but you have to be quick to click the seat and BUY.

Missed loads of them but got one eventually.

[CONFIAMOS]

yous should tick the box to save all this fussing

[redmen27]

Lot on complaining about shite seats available in the auto cup. Bet there's a few would snap your hand of now.

[Barrowred]

0815:  All CL +7 Europa

Agree with that

[Paragon]

They did though. You needed three Europa League credits from 15/16 to qualify for the first Sevilla members' sale.

I can't understand how so many people are missing out with all these extra seats in the new stand.

[courty61]

It's a tough one as the club's hands are tied and not their fault that sponsors and UEFA sent back tickets for Porto.

Add to the fact all teams in groups didn't have massive followings.

We all want champions league and we all want champions league money so that we are competitive on the field - it's the flip side of that

[ABJ]

Obviously I understand peoples frustration but :

last seasons competition but it paints the picture - looks like an extra 240 tickets to UEFA etc from the group stage numbers and increases now round on round

66.09 For every UEFA Champions League and play-off match, the clubs undertake to
provide UEFA with the following numbers of complimentary tickets to the VIP
area, including hospitality, for UEFA and the partners:
a. Play-offs: 10
b. Group matches: 50
c. Round of 16 matches: 50
d. Quarter-finals: 50
e. Semi-finals: 50.

66.10 This number of tickets and hospitality passes must not exceed 10% of the VIP area
seating capacity. In such a case, any difference must be offset by tickets (including
hospitality) in the highest category. All such tickets must be in one block, in a
section located between the two 16m lines. Upon request, clubs must locate up to
five of UEFA’s VIP ticket holders in the best possible seats next to the UEFA match
delegate and/or the club’s highest level executives (for example, the club
president or chief executive officer).
58 XII – Exploitation of the Commercial Rights

66.11 Likewise, a number of complimentary tickets in the highest category, stated
below, in one block, in a section located between the two 16m lines, must be
provided to UEFA for its own use, as well as for the use of partners. The following
numbers of complimentary tickets must be provided:
a. Play-offs: 50
b. Group matches: 330
c. Round of 16 matches: 380
d. Quarter-finals: 425
e. Semi-finals: 475

66.12 In addition, UEFA and the partners must be given the opportunity to acquire, at
face value, an agreed number of retail tickets, whereby tickets in the next highest
category must also be situated in one block and in a central section (i.e. not
behind the goal):
a. Play-offs: minimum of 350 top-category retail tickets, 370 retail tickets in the
next highest category and 220 retail tickets in the third highest category;
b. Group matches: minimum of 350 top-category retail tickets, 370 retail tickets
in the next highest category and 230 retail tickets in the third highest
category;
c. Round of 16 matches: minimum of 410 top-category retail tickets, 460 retail
tickets in the next highest category and 360 retail tickets in the third highest
category;
d. Quarter-finals: minimum of 660 top-category retail tickets, 710 retail tickets in
the next highest category and 640 retail tickets in the third highest category;
e. Semi-finals: minimum of 880 top-category retail tickets, 920 retail tickets in
the next highest category and 730 retail tickets in the third highest category;
f. The final is exempt from these stipulations.

66.13 All tickets must be official UEFA Champions League or play-offs tickets approved
by UEFA prior to production.

66.14 UEFA and the partners may use tickets provided by the clubs in accordance with
this Article 66 for promotional purposes.

66.15 The clubs shall ensure that, as a minimum, their ticketing terms and conditions for
the matches stipulate that:
a. no person may conduct any promotional or commercial activity at the match
stadium, without the prior written approval of UEFA;
b. tickets must not be used for any commercial purposes such as for promotion,
advertising, use as a prize in a competition/sweepstake, or as part of a
hospitality or travel package, without the prior written approval of UEFA;
c. all people attending the match acknowledge that use may be made (free of
charge) of their voice, image and/or likeness in still images and audio/visual
transmissions relating to the match;
d. no person attending the match may, without UEFA’s prior written approval,
record, transmit and/or exploit any sound, image, data, statistics and/or
description of the match for any purpose other than for private use.
XII – Exploitation of the Commercial Rights 59

66.16 For every UEFA Champions League match, the home club must provide UEFA, free
of charge, with a single exclusive hospitality area of a minimum of 400m² of open
and usable space (excluding fixed installations and doors/fire access routes)
within the stadium. Following the group stage, the relevant home clubs should
(where practicable) provide UEFA, free of charge, with a larger single exclusive
hospitality area (i.e. in excess of the minimum 400m² size) in order to
accommodate the increased number of guests.

66.17 The standard of these facilities must be at least comparable to the highest
standard available in the stadium. If the home club is not able to offer such
facilities within the stadium, it must find an alternative solution at its own expense
outside the stadium. Such alternative solution must be of a standard comparable
to that of an indoor facility.

66.18 A number of accreditations for partners, to be agreed upon, will be made
available by UEFA, in conjunction with the home club. In every case, accreditation
will ensure that all services can be proffered before, during and after the match.

66.19 In principle, 60 parking places for the play-offs and 180 parking places from the
group stage onwards must be provided, free of charge, to UEFA for use by
partners. The number and category of parking places is decided upon by UEFA
and the home club. These parking spaces should be in a prime position, wherever
possible with easy access to the Champions Club (i.e. the UEFA Champions
League hospitality area).

66.20 The clubs are responsible for dispatching tickets and hospitality and parking
passes to UEFA and/or the partners in accordance with UEFA's instructions.

So UEFA can take up to 2485 for the Quarter Final and up to 3055 (more than the away end) for the Semi Final...this is the root of the problem.

They sent back tickets for this one as well.. all the seats in KM, KN, KP was clearly reserved for UEFA, all those blocks had good availability.

[Red_Mist]

Should have been:

0815:  All CL +7 Europa
0915:  All CL +6 Europa
1015:  All CL +5 Europa and so on until it sells out.

For the semi final there will be very few so may need Knattspyrnufélag Reykjavíkur from the 1964/65 campaign!

Absolutely right

c. Round of 16 matches: minimum of 410 top-category retail tickets, 460 retail
tickets in the next highest category and 360 retail tickets in the third highest
category;
d. Quarter-finals: minimum of 660 top-category retail tickets, 710 retail tickets in
the next highest category and 640 retail tickets in the third highest category;
e. Semi-finals: minimum of 880 top-category retail tickets, 920 retail tickets in
the next highest category and 730 retail tickets in the third highest category;

But they say a minimum of don't they, so in theory can they take many thousands more? Basically whatever they want?
