Topic: LFC Bulk Sales for the 2nd half of the 2017/18 season *dates confirmed*

[Lusty]

So for those of us without credits, looks like we have more choice of games but probably less chance of getting any?

Not moaning by the way, right that 13+ get priority but it's been a ballache trying to build credits the last couple of years.

[kwalitee, no?]

Very happy with one sale for those on 13+ hopefully it goes smoothly!

[willfc]

Great news! Means I now end up on 18 next season👌

[OptoMystik]

You can link other members in at any time so do it now.   Yes you can get three together if you are lucky enough to get in early enough.

Make sure every person is linked on all 3 memberships so it'll ensure that any one person can buy the other  two tickets that are required. Do it now as you don't want to find out on the day that someone's not linked the cards properly.

actually i think its been quite easy. I've gone from zero to 11 in 2 years on PL. All cup games and Have full credits for CL. Just luck of the draw

I echo that, if you put the effort in with additional members sales it is easy to go from a couple of credits to 13+

You just have to not mind where you sit to build the credits up.

[roots99]

The Echo story and the info in the LFC members' area seem contradictory.

Concerning the four game+ sale on the 15th, The Echo says: "The first sale on November 14 will be for supporters with 13 credits from last season and they will be guaranteed one seat for each of the eight games.

"After that sale, the number of credits drops to four for the November 15 sale. Tickets here are not guaranteed but successful fans will be able to buy one seat for each of the eight games.""
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-tickets-pledge-improve-buying-13849485

Whereas the LFC site says: "Members who recorded a minimum of 4 games during the 2016/17 season wishing to purchase tickets for the following fixtures: Manchester City; Tottenham Hotspur; Brighton & Hove Albion.""

So on the 15th is it all 8 games potentially available (if any left after the Tues sale) as the Echo would suggest in the bolded bit or just the 3 games listed by the club?

Me to - have 1-2 for many seasons (I came from Poland for one or 2 games a season with ma Dad) and last season I got 5 this season I'll finish with 15 I think - it takes time in Additional Sales but it's doable for sure.

The Echo have got it wrong, the club are right.

I guess it's harder for OOTs because you've got to get travel and accomodation sorted in advance so you can't just rely on additional sales. That's probably a good thing though.

I've only just realised that cup games count though, so that's the answer!

Cup games don't count towards league credits, or haven't done up to now anyway

Ah FFS. Easy come easy go 

[NickoH]

Thank fuck for that

Of course it's harder - I'm still living in Poland so I'm classic OOT - but it's doable.

Looking at the games do we think Bournemouth will be a Friday or Monday game?

Sat 14th is Grand National Day and the 15th the Hillsborough anniversary

think there's precedent where we have played early on the 14th say and the National taking off at 5pm so wouldn't necessarily rule Saturday out (my memory could be rubbish and i've made all of that up!)

[redman1974]

I'm pretty sure V Ipswich at Anfield in April 1994 a game I was at kicked off at about 11 or 1130am on grand national day. Game is also down in history as being the last time a Liverpool player scored for us in front of the standing Kop. Julian Dicks was that player

Correct. Kicked off at 11.30 a.m. National won by Miinnehoma in the afternoon with Richard Dunwoody riding.

I bet Bournemouth fans will love having to come up from down there for 11:30

I suppose it would be the same getting back when it moves to Monday night - which I reckon it will

They need more police than they did in 1994 I reckon (and there isn't as many of them to spread around)

[Hightown Phil]

It wouldn't surprise me if they let us kick off at 3 now they've moved the time of the National to 5.15. First race 1.45, Kick off 3, National 5.15, last race 6.15.

Liverpool v Bournemouth doesn't need to be heavily policed, the traffic shouldn't really overlap either.

I've had a text saying the members sale starts Thurs. Is that wrong?

Edit - or do they mean the disabled sales?

It’s when the disabled supporters sale starts but text wasn’t exactly clear so now the site will crash Thursday!

[redgriffin73]

Thanks, I thought that was probs the case! Not clear at all, there's far more 'general' members than disabled so why not just put it all in the text?

[RainbowFlick]

Nearly time 

[RainbowFlick]

Wait. Hold up. The Tuesday sale is for ALL games if you have 13+ from last season? When did that change? No free for all for the smaller games e.g. Bournemouth? Am I reading this wrong? Are my eyes deceiving me?

They announced this 11 days ago.

Guess I should start reading things.

 In this batch Brighton would have been the free-for-all, just like Burnley and Huddersfield were last time, because they are newly promoted.

However, as the Brighton match is last home game of the season it becomes priority with prerequisite.

Last home game of the season always is isn't it?

[royabs]

It's been that way since 14/15 as the previous season, we finished 2nd and the last game hadn't had any prerequisites. This wasn't a problem until it got to the point that it could have been a pivotal game.

Late availability tickets for the Newcastle game went on general sale. Bare in mind that these went on sale after we beat Norwich and before the infamous slip against Chelsea. So at the time they went on sale it was looking very much like a title decider. Nothing short of disgraceful that someone who had never been a game in their life could have got one to see us win the league. So since then, the last game has always been a restricted sale and rightly so

Everyone ready with 12 computers/iPads/phones for tomorrow’s mayhem?! 

[EstonianRed]

Everyone ready with 12 computers/iPads/phones for tomorrow’s mayhem?! 

Only have 2 computers for tomorrow, not feeling confident at all. Must be at work 9AM uk time as well. Oh fuck... so giving myself 15-20 minutes for waiting in the queue and checking out, hopeful right.. 

[SingFongFC]

Surely, surely, SURELY it won't be as bad as the events of July.....

Praying for a smooth morning, in and out within an hour and getting at least half the games in the Kop (seeing as I didn't get a single one in the first sale, despite being on 19) and I'll be happy!

[Barneylfc∗]

Not even bothered about tomorrow as tickets are guaranteed. It's Wednesday and Thursday are the ones I'm worried about.
Since I moved to BT Broadband my queue times have been absolutely shite and had to feed off scraps.

I could have got all I wanted tomorrow but 1 card out if 4 is one short of the criteria so have to get them in pairs 

[willfc]

Changed my wifi from BT to EE, let's see if that makes a difference tomorrow

Newcastle would have been too, but they've put it in with the others thankfully. I assume that's why they stuck Burnley in with Huddersfield to give people on 0 more to aim for.

[kalle-anka]

Site closed and in the queue on my laptop.. will connect at the office and knowing the ‘new updates’ in the software I will probably be connected first on the device that I entered the queue with last.

[MKB]

I see there is now a Members' Ticket Sale Blog for updates throughout the sale.

Not only does it come it with an apostrophe, it's in the right place.  Bodes well.
