Topic: Members Sales

Doesn't look like it.

For example, https://www.liverpoolfc.com/tickets/tickets-availability/liverpool-fc-v-crystal-palace-13-aug-2022-0300pm-193 seems to say you just need to have an official 22/23 membership

Yep- perfect - they've both renewed and I've entered them into the league draws and the other fella into all the cups. Finally sorted 12 hours after the registration started.

[SalahsLeftFoot]

How does the late availability work? Do you get an e-mail if you’re a member or do you just need to keep an eye on the site?

AFAIK there is no email sent to members telling them about late availability sales, you just have to keep an eye on the site. Generally, late availability sales a week before the game. It's just a case of regularly [ some would say constantly ] refreshing the ticket availability page.

[Hij]

Yeah in typical luck, last season I broke 30+ games for the first time but with the cost of diesel unless I can find more people travelling up from down south I can't really justify £100 return in fuel on my own for some games. Though tbf most of the league games I went to I picked up late or were 4+ games. I probably just won't attend as many via the late sales now until either the fuel comes down or I find some more people to share with. Cool though in a way, that sort of nicely solves the budget issue for next season on it's own as I always do all the cup ones bar the Euro aways.

We've entered all of our league ones in groups of four and by location as much as possible so if any do come out, people that are relatively nearby can go together. Looking forward to the new season now just hopeful we get a couple.  Good luck to everyone else and my sympathies to everyone on 13+ who had to go through that just to buy in the guaranteed sales anyway

If they restrict friends and family to 20, then potentially an even larger percentage of tickets should be available in the late sales. 20 is a lot to be fair but you can't then just box some random on Twitter/Facebook etc. Often they turn up as and when people return their tickets. But remains to be seen exactly how easy it is as parts of last season weren't the same because of Covid and travel restrictions.

But yeah, eye on the website and refresh in the days leading up. Then just basket and check out!

Could someone have two or more memberships (unlinked) and register for the ballot, which essentially increases their chances of getting a ticket?

I ask because someone I know has been going on about getting tickets to nearly every game via the ballot last season. Meanwhile, I only got the 1. Could he theoretically have paid for 5 memberships in order to get a better chance of nabbing a ticket?

Pretty sure there is nothing to stop you - they would all need different email addresses - but at £25 (min) a membership - that is quite a bit of money for no guarantee of getting a ticket.

even with multiple accounts the odds of that are miniscule, sounds like shite

[ToneLa]

Bopped in late last night to register

Email arrived fairly quickly. This stage is not a race

They wouldn't have to be unlinked. Just don't apply at the same time.

Back after uni three of us moved in to a house off Aigburth road and we're all reds.

There's nothing stopping that in reality. Even with the transfer last season he theoretically could transfer any to himself and therefore on the odd chance he is asked for an ID check he's ok

[Teigen]

I have two memberships that I pay for, is it possible for me to add friends (who are not paying members) to both of those memberships and transfer them tickets if I'm unable to go to a match?

Yeah, should be an announcement today/this week about all this

[Jayo10]

Got a membership, added my Grandad as an over 65 and when trying to register for games, it’s stating that I’ve exceeded my allocation.

Any ideas? Won’t let me register for a single one. Or does my Grandad need a membership too? Which is frankly fucking ridiculous if this is the case.

Am I able to register myself alone and then still potentially get two tickets when they go on sale?

Apologies for the basic questions. We’ve had longstanding access to a season ticket that we can no longer have so have never had to actually register and purchase them myself before.

I have the same issue, ive exceeded my allocation, but in my case ive linked my dads membership to mine. I am not seeing where I can allocate the additional item to my eligible friend? As mentioned, we both have memberships and ID numbers and I have linked him as a friend in my own account (located him via his surname and ID number).

When you click on the game you want to register for, it should bring up a page with a little drop down menu to change from 1 to 2 or however many you want to add. It then proceeds to a screen where you use the drop down menu to allocate the other tickets to the right people and updates so you aren't exceeding your allocation.

I have the same issue my son is linked to my membership(junior member)but when I apply for tickets I can only apply for one?

Any chance of providing a screenshot? Not seeing this dropdown at all, ive gone in a couple of times now. Thanks so much for the reply

If you have added 2 tickets to your basket, go to your basket and it should show you have 2 tickets. Should have your name beside both with a little arrow pointing downwards. Press this arrow to get the list of people on your friends and family then pick whoever you are allocating that game to.

[Jayo10]

Thanks a million for this!

One more question and my apologies if its already been answered. Linked my own and my dads cards and applied for 2 tickets via my own account.

Can I now get him to log into his account and apply also linking me (i.e registering for 2 tickets for us) aswell? Double the chance of being successful?

Can you enter your Supporter ID a couple of times by being linked to other accounts? Or is it one application per ID number?

No, the system only allows one application per supporter ID.

Judging by the messages posted on here over the last 24 hours of people completely clueless to how the system works, I think your ballot odds are going to decrease and LFC are laughing all the way to the bank with their membership money

1 in 15 won't seem too bad come next Thursday

I wouldn't be surprised at 1 in 30 for some games in all honesty

I've seen all the FB ones but not on Twitter unless I'm following the Service Station game on our way down to Wembley

Cant wait for the fireworks over the next two weeks

Do we know if Members with 13+ will be able to purchase all 19 games with priority this season or will they need to enter the ballots for the games against the promoted teams?

Those 3 games are usually free for alls for all members except if we play a promoted team 1st home game or last home game of the season like we have done a few times recently.

[30fiver]

Having done some digging around in the site, ticket 'distribution' is being replaced by and dubbed as ticket 'transfer' it seems

Brace yourselves

Nothing in there, bar a link to the ticket transfer section, which then loads a blank page

[Hij]

Yeah looks like they're still updating it.

He's right in that 'Ticket Transfer' is a different term to 'Ticket Distribution' though.

Exactly... seems to suggest as previously discussed in this thread that the "credit" moves too

[30fiver]

Yeah thats the point I was getting at

Highly doubt it to be honest.
People will just give there logins to there mates to save credits if that’s the case.

You can give your login to 50 different people. If they don't have the phone the NFC pass is on, it doesn't make a difference.

I'm glad ticket transfers will be a thing to be honest. We've applied for a few games as a four. If someone can't go at a later date having bought well in advance, will be good to offer the ticket to one of our group first, before any return to the club.

League credits only matter currently at 4 and at 13. Not like other ladders like the aways where its 19 all the way to 1 basically. And if someone does attend 4 through whatever means then they should by rights be in those additional sales. It's the better arrangement than someone having 6, selling 4 of them, but retaining 4+ for the next season and rewards attendance.

I know there is some worry in here over people gaming it to 13, but realistically the club should have a minimum amount that go to 0+ and adjust the required number of credits for the guaranteed sale accordingly. That should be enough to put people off risking gaming it too much. Imagine getting 4 of you onto 13 through gaming the system and then the next season the number is 14 - that's basically all of you off the ladder.

People on 13+ are relatively sorted for now to be honest. People making 13 in future will be relying on spares and late availability tickets to make that number now. You can't get into two "first come first sales" and immediately basket over 13 in both sales anymore - people in the ballots will be lucky to get one game with 0+ credits I reckon- it was fairly competitive last season and Covid was still a massive thing.

[anfieldpurch]

I thought the belly-aching about things was bad enough and the lack of knowledge was on twitter and then I was sent in a group chat a video on TikTok ranting about "Not wanting any tickets anyway" because they were in the registration queue of 20k when only 10k tickets available... No wonder Touts have a field day

TBF it certainly has been an advantage to be on the ball, and put more effort in recent years.

Difficult for the club but you can see why they've done it. Now anyone can register and has a chance at a game. It certainly opens it up and makes it fairer for the rest of the fanbase to access tickets, as opposed to logging on with one browser and getting fuck all in both sales. And it should as a result increase the number of memberships that they sell as well.

The only reason I can see it going the other way eventually is that it's *that* competitive, people might sign up, get none in the ballot then not try again. But perhaps the Anfield Road extension will help somewhat with the demand, though I reckon it'll still be well over subscribed.

Didn't matter last season. Someone just sent me a screenshot (a trusted person), told me I'd have no problems - and I didn't.

There are two unsuccesful sales to get into and get all the games if you're lucky queue wise
But maybe in future it wont just be 4 and 13
