What was the take up like for those who were guaranteed? I had the feeling a few more than usual might sway towards the upper tiers due to the price increases in the lower

[bignred84]

Meant 514 sorry, was gonna get 540 if was at other side stadium

100% agree with you then 513/514 behind the scoreboard is a boss little spec (12 rows)
dead easy getting in/out
I was there for Man City v Wigan (*Wigan End)

There was a post on Twitter about 45 mins ago - 21511 remaining, all lower tier blocks are orange, just over half upper tier on green with the rest orange.

What time we expecting the emails on Wednesday...5.30pm?

not what I wanted to hear.... that doesn't seem like a lot

[Mamzz21]

How would someone know how many tickets are left?

if its like normal buying process, you can essentially add up each number of tickets per section to give you a total

I did some very crude numbers the other day and had about 20.5k available for the ballot so assuming most who are going to buy have actually done so by now then it’s actually a few more than I thought it would be.

[Jm55]

Someone on Twitter seems to think that the ballot told you how many people had entered when you processed the transaction (and that 30,000 people had registered by 11:15). Seems highly unlikely to me given the ballot only opened at 11am and it took me over an hour to buy a Norwich ticket with 6,500 people in front of me in the queue but just wondered if anyone else has seen this?

[scouser102002]

No, talking bollocks. Which is rare for twitter

There are always a few stragglers purchasing before the sale ends..

You got the link for us to see?

Yeah there will be but hopefully not too many.

What do people actually get out of just making stuff up like that?

My guess is he was referring to the transaction number.

[RebeccaLFC]

My guess is he was referring to the transaction number.

True, but you get a transaction number for every sale within the lfc ticket system - so if someone purchased say the ajax friendly inbetween two people registering for the ballots - their transaction number would follow that.

Someone said on last page that less than 10% of the allocation was for sale in the guaranteed sale, so how can all available seats be seen if so?

[Craig S]

No, all seats are on. It is less than 10% could be sold in this sale: 2.4k ish. But all seats are there

Yeah, it clearly isn't relevant to your number in the ballot but mine started with a 3 so I can see how, to the untrained eye, you might think that it is.

[RebeccaLFC]

true, but my transaction number for the ballot was 32 million, rather than 32,000.

[upthereds1993]

Hopefully it's not the number of applicants as i'm transaction number 32 million odd. Not sure what my odds would be but imagine they'd be slim 

[ABJ]

Gonna be a maximum of around 21K for the ballot. So lets say that a maximum of 2.3K can buy today, that means that around 9K have been reserved for 'others'.

It was about 8,500 in 2022.

This unknown about how many UAR got credits is going to be the key here - could have had exact qualifying numbers for ballot with that. going to be anywhere from 55% - 65% chance of success based off the remaining count so far and the educated guesses around qualifying supporters.

[Hij]

I'm assuming 50% chance and anything higher a bonus, although while I know mathematically it's a better chance, 55 or 60% kinda still feels a bit like a coin toss

I could be wrong but I honestly think it’s minimal.

There was a capacity of 6,000 more for the West Ham game (with the stand open) than Leicester (55k vs 49k).

The only people who have the credits without attending are ACS members who bought tickets in the Upper Anfield Road who the club were unable to relocate - I would assume that when the club sell ACS tickets at the start of the season they do so on the basis that the away team will take the full amount available to them (6k) where as Leicester took 2.7k.

I just can’t see how many people the club wouldn’t have been able to relocate into the seats not taken by Leicester and even then those people would have been able to get one on all members easily enough - I take the point that some will have not bothered and just taken the credit but I’d be surprised if this is though to significantly alter the odds.

[jwilstroplfc]

I know of up to 10 people myself who didn’t get all home credits …some started against West Ham and a couple even got some for the semi on the All Members sale …so I agree I think some projections on how many will be in the ballot might be higher than actual numbers.

[sambhi92]

probably be about 30-32k people going for 21,000 tickets.

[anitrella]

misread it, cheers

The club didn't try and relocate ACS members for the Leicester game. They just cancelled the ticket, then did a separate sale just for those with cancelled tickets, ahead of other sales. When they cancelled the UAR tickets, the email told people that they would still get the credit whether they bought in the new sale or not. I think quite a few took the opportunity to get a free credit from what I saw on here and other places. I bought in the main stand, during the special sale, and there were plenty of seats available but no idea how many did that and how many didn't bother.

Okay but even so, out of the 6,000 tickets how many were sold as ACS (as tickets being sold for general members sale wouldn’t have been sold by that point)?

I’m assuming no more than, say 3k, then plenty of those will have taken the option to buy a ticket in the following sale?

I can’t see it being many.

I went upper tier near the front (£58) partly to do with the price, I did fancy lower tier but didn’t really want to pay close to £100 for a ticket, but the main reason for going upper tier is because every other time I’ve gone upper we’ve won 😂 I went lower in 2016 against City and we lost 😢

[red79]

Paid £76 for a pretty much identical seat to the 2022 final which was £40 I think!

I take it that’s lower?

[red79]

Anyone know the logic behind the car parks at Wembley?  the designated car parks for both Liverpool and Chelsea fans are at the opposite ends to where we’re sitting, it was the same in 2022

Come to think of it, why weren’t we just designated the same ends of the ground as 2022, particularly as it was the same teams ?

[RainbowFlick]

not that i'd pay, but noticed someone on twitter claiming £700 is 'face value' for a club wembley ticket? what the heck lol

[scouser102002]

Yep, it's true.

[ripsaw19]

I was in and out quite easily this morning. Two sorted in 110 row 9 for the cheap seats. Same block I was in for the 2012 League Cup final. The 'cheap' seats went up to row 22 in 2022, so they have really cut back on them this year. FA Cup is going to be horrendous pricing if we get there!

[benitezexpletives]

no it was £125 this morning for front row of club wembley block 222

[ScubaSteve]

Hopefully it’ll put off a couple of people off from going. The ticket, travel etc for just going to Wembley is pretty steep

[carl123uk]

That's not club Wembley then. Club Wembley aren't available by the club. Only people who purchased club Wembley via Wembley however many years ago.
