Yeah got a couple of decent ones (Chelsea in the ballot, Arse, Spurs); but United, Everton & Villa restricted. Can't complain at all with that. Thought I was gonna drop off the ladder completely.   

Haven't sat in rows 34,35 Lower Anny for, I guess, must be decades. How restricted we talking? Can you see both goals? I can't remember.

Very restricted, unfortunately... as in you really struggle to see the goal at the Kop end. I think it's a bit of a joke that they charge £45 for them to be honest, should be about £25. Pro-rata it based on how much of the pitch you can see.

Credits have got people by the balls so it's better to just take the hit on SRV and protect yourself for future seasons imo.

Was a case of a restricted derby in the hand or risking it on a potential derby in the bush (late sales). Would have been fuming with myself if I didn't get to go at all. Also I'm a clearly a coward haha.

Wasn’t too bad that. Around 12k in the queue, boxed the 3 I was eligible before in about 10 minutes of refreshing. More or less the same seat in U1 for all three strangely, wonder if they had been holding that section back or just coincidence.

Nothing for me unfortunately. Was around 3,500 odd in the queue this morning. Got in after around 20 mins and Brentford, Fulham, Forest all Sold Out.

Have been refreshing ever since and a singles were popping up but I need 2 as my daughter has a membership too... no doubles came up at all they are like gold dust now. Will try my chances in the LA sales now.

Have been unsuccessful in all ballots since this started as well. This has so far been the first season in 20 years where I haven't been to a game yet !

Tickets
There are no games available for you to purchase

So have all the tickets gone or is there an issue?

Good to see that some are getting up the ladder, but until we have that 100,000 seater stadium, it's always going to be at the expense of others who were on it previously. A bit like everyone in the public sector wanting, quite rightly, salary increases; but taxpayers not wanting any tax hikes. We can't all be winners!

Good luck to those now in a position to follow the club with some guarantee. Make the most of it boys and girls.

Well done to the ticket office today btw for restricting the visibility of games depending on people's criteria - definitely made a difference for the 4+ games.

The only issue with this with this was that I was trying to sort my brother and some mates out this morning as well as myself - we enter the ballots individually to spread our chances so, inevitably, end up being successful for different games. However, I couldn't see all of the games they needed (e.g. Everton, United, Arsenal) from my account because I'd already bought my tickets for those games yesterday. This meant I had to log in as them on another tab to sort their tickets - I didn't realise this initially, I just thought that United and Everton must have sold out.

I get that this is a very minor gripe in the scheme of things and it's probably worth it if it stops people hoarding tickets in baskets for games they don't qualify for.

Has anyone had his ticket cancelled for buying a wrong category? I accidentally bought 2 Juniors instead of 1. Chose Junior for one of my mates by mistake and I'm not sure if it'll cause some trouble.

Agreed- the basket hoarding is the biggest irritation of all. Would love to understand why they cannot sort a Presale Login limited to one device which would stop the sheer unfairness of it all.

Not sure where to start with getting tickets that way Andy mate to be honest. I am not on Twitter or any other social media so not sure if thats how you could get your hands on 13+ members tickets via that means? I think i would be okay if it was just me, but my 9 year old (was her first proper season at Anfield last season; and she bloody loved it) needs to come with me too and i have found this season so difficult trying to get 2 together. Not happened yet!

Haha shut it soft lad and keep up with the system before ye fall behind

Cheers for these inspiring words earlier this week pal - blind luck gifted me with a queue position of 102 this morning, got every game and I'm now on 17 out of 19 for the season.

Take it easy!

Guess they want to check if the address on their system matches the address on your licence as only a 'real person' would have a passport/driving licence. Despite saying it could take upto a week, mine, at a quiet time admittedly, got verified crazy quick — maybe 10 mins — so the checks can't be that thorough.

Don't know what would happen if the addresses differ. Back when I was renting I kept the address for my licence at my parents'/my childhood home. Same with passport. Was less hassle than having to contact the DVLA/Home Office every move. Must be loads of people like this.

they must not check address as I just realised on my license is my parents address and my membership has my current address and it was ok, so exactly like your scenario

So I have been to every game since the priority card came in, that then turned into the members. I am in Switzerland and I completely missed the sale on Wednesday, just finding out now. I have all from first half of the season. I can only hope I pick up some returns 2nd half. Fuming with myself. Could be off the ladder now.  :no

Ouch!  I feel your pain mate.  I don't know whether I'm typical, but after the email from the Ticket Office telling us to register and saying they would be announcing detailed sale dates/times for some point this week, I received no additional information.  I only found out it was Wednesday by proactively checking the website.

The Club should have sent out an email with the full details as they implied they were going to do.  If they did, I never got it.  If you didn't too, I'd complain and involve SoS. It won't get you anywhere, but it might make them get it right next July.

Unless I'm missing a point here - It's been the same way for several seasons that when a person logs in, they only see the games which they qualify themselves for?

Contact them and ask to upload it again. Do it in daylight, no lights on, no glare, all of the bottom page, against a dark background as sometimes their system confuses background with the page itself.

Don't think anyone got an email about sale dates, just the earlier one about the ballots.

I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."
