Topic: League Cup

[G a r y]

I think the odds will be a lot better than that, looking back to the ballot against City I didn’t hear of anyone being unsuccessful, covid will put some people off, as will the prices.

You got those numbers or can you still see those odds on the site somewhere?

[ChrisLFCKOP]

So couple of questions.

1) I am in the first sale so do I need to register? Its not entirely clear.

2) Can PRH buy in the second sale?

  No, just log on and buy your ticket...

2) Can PRH buy in the second sale?

No

So I have 2 cards with 3 so guaranteed. My youngest lad is 13 but has two credits so not guaranteed. He’s not allowed in on his own so is he stuffed??

[Craig S]

yes I understand that, but we still use his fan number to buy aways. He isn't a member. He has 3 aways but is not a member. Trying to work out if we need to buy him a lite membership before the final?

It is the same selling notice for all the aways, it never mentions fancards. Only ST & members.
I am surprised it worked, we had an old fan card we used for aways and it stopped working. Saying not eligible for this sale, so we had to buy a membership on it. This was a league game, Southampton at start of 19/20

If he wins in the ballot, buy your tickets in that guaranteed sale? Guess you'd need to confirm that you'd still be eligible to purchase but I don't see why not.

In fact it's a fair consideration coz I have 3 but have a few mates on 2, so I might want to be with them for the final if possible.

[Thomas]

Thanks Craig

Does it go to ET or straight to pens if needed? Trying to work the trains out!

swear everyone needs to be a member to buy tickets? You sure he doesn't have a membership now? If you've been able to buy tickets up to this point then you'll probably be allowed to buy these ones as well

[donnerz]

ET and then pens.

[TeddyTime33]

ET

[ScubaSteve]

New main stand is the concerning factor I think, Hospo members increase etc

Yeah this is definitely a concern. It was always good to get the anfield expansion done but when it comes to finals, it just means more fans but still the same ticket allocation at Wembley. The main stand expansion also messed with the CL guaranteed sales too as there were more people who got on the ladder

[Thomas]

Thinking about it, it must have a lite membership attached. Happy days !

[stueya]

Based on Leicester and Arsenals larger allocations, the PRH’s and the guaranteed away fans I reckon there will be potentially 30,000 in the ballot for around 23,000 tickets

[redgriffin73]

No

2) Can PRH buy in the second sale?

2) yes PRH can buy in the second sale and any other sales if any left - if you are a PRH but want to sit with those who qualify in the second sale you have to buy them all together in the second sale.

I am eligible to purchase a ticket in the guaranteed sale taking place from Monday January 31, can I purchase my ticket with friends/family who are successful in the ballot instead?

No, it will not be possible for you to purchase tickets with anyone who is successful in the ballot. You can only purchase tickets within the sale taking place from Monday January 31.

Well that sucks, if your boy is lucky I guess the other of the 3 should go in on the single and him with you?

[Sooty89!!!]

2) yes PRH can buy in the second sale and any other sales if any left - if you are a PRH but want to sit with those who qualify in the second sale you have to buy them all together in the second sale.

Does the same apply to people eligible in the 2nd sale, if they wait for others to find out if successful for the 3rd sale?

[Booze And Glory]

No you have to buy in the 2nd sale, so they know what's left over for the ballot

[Hij]

Looks like the computer is saying no.

The FAQ's make it sound like this isn't possible.

No, it will not be possible for you to purchase tickets with anyone who is successful in the ballot. You can only purchase tickets within the sale taking place from Monday January 31.

I can only imagine it's something to do with the software as I don't see why else it would matter.

Of course, I'm a fucking idiot

Not sure though as quite a few where still available for Arsenal after the fans with the Leicester credit ended

[Schmarn]

Yep, there were a couple thousand left. Also the registration window is tight, just 3 days, so expect quite a few will miss it (and then blame the ticket office).

[ChrisLFCKOP]

No

thanks

[Sooty89!!!]

Nice one 👍🏻

[Schmarn]

Someone asked this question earlier so posting the FAQ below.

“If I register with other supporters, will we be entered into the ballot as a group?

Registering together in a group will mean that those who are registered in the same transaction, will either ALL be successful or unsuccessful.  If you require adult/junior tickets, please ensure you register together within the same transaction.”

So makes sense to apply individually and then those who are successful can buy tickets together on the actual sale. Obviously can’t do that if buying junior tickets.

[RainbowFlick]

Asked in the other thread, bit if you register with family, do you both miss out if unsuccessful?

yes

[PaulKS]

2) yes PRH can buy in the second sale and any other sales if any left - if you are a PRH but want to sit with those who qualify in the second sale you have to buy them all together in the second sale.

That's exactly what I said....

(thanks 😂)

[stonecold_jpm]

So with three we don’t need to register for anything?

[Thomas]

So with three we don’t need to register for anything?

Correct

[jizzspunk]

3 - where will be the best atmosphere, am assuming lowest tier, will it be like Anfield where behind the goal will be rowdier?

🙄

[Shaneee.]

Some of the questions you see on here blows the mind

[redandwhitekuyt]

It’s like people don’t read the website

[ldsn]

Please delete if not appropriate but I'd happily swap a single on the Kop for Inter Milan (plus difference in money) for a final ticket. I know it's a wild long shot but wanted to get it out there in case by some stroke of luck someone fancies that.

[daindan]

I find it odd Chelsea got a slightly bigger allocation than us

single for the semi and you might get somewhere

[ldsn]

Haha true, although getting ahead of ourselves there

[PaulKS]

Thanks to everyone who has shared useful info in this thread. Two questions:

1 - if i'm guaranteed a ticket through going to three of the EFL games, do I need to register for the ballot or just log on from Monday 31st of January?

2 - do we know which part of Wembley we've been allocated? and how the categories 1-5 mentioned relate to this?

3 - where will be the best atmosphere, am assuming lowest tier, will it be like Anfield where behind the goal will be rowdier?

So with three we don’t need to register for anything?

Christ almighty

Baffling

Blame the ridiculous pre register interest rubbish for everything else earlier on in the season as the only reason I even asked it. Couldn’t add us to the ACS back in September/October whenever it was you could choose your seats purely because of that crap as I hadn’t registered interest earlier in the summer even though there was plenty of space left on it.

[andy07]

Always happens, people don’t want to go to the earlier rounds because it is only The League Cup and a distraction from real football, yet suddenly want a day out at Wembley.  Some who have attended 2 games will miss out which is wrong in a 90000 capacity stadium where we should have at least a 40000 allocation.
