[kevlumley]

Just been sent this, was on the lfc website yesterday but been taken down today

[SwedenRed]

I had a feeling the ticket allocation included the 200 corporates. So anyone new buying a corporate ticket are eligible to buy a Euro away... absolutely disgusting. Anyway, me and me mates the fortunate ones on 6 to be sorted. phew

[EstonianRed]

Is the 200 VIP tickets a norm at every CL game?

I swear I have seen sectors of away fans (obv. not hardcore ultras) inside or in the middle of the home crowd in Santiago Bernabeu and Allianz Arena with them proudly wearing colors as well.

Yes it is we always give ours in the upper centenary

Is that why when we played a team at home that didn't bring a single fan in the Anny Road we could see people going mental in the Upper Centenary when they scored? Was surreal as it was like silent, can't remember the game.

Yes it's always 200. I know this 200 seems shit but it is always 200.
I think the announcement should have stated that of the allocation 200 are for players, sponsors, corps. I think people would be less pissed off then thinking we had 842 for your everyday supporter.

Agreed. No problem with the allocation, it’s uefa and happens at every game. Would just be much better if the club could be more transparent about things and just say. Like people above have said about united saying who is on what credit as well, would make it easier for people to know if they’re likely to get sorted before booking travel.

We need to do more as fans to get this transparency. I was going to book travel/hotel for Maribor as I had 4 from 2014, 3 from 2016 and 1 from 2017 (Spartak) so I had 4 credits required but then sort of gave up last week because was proving too difficult to get there and back. I got 4 credits but it sold out well before then and didn't even drop to the 5 - I think I just read it sold out on 6?

All it needs is to say like United do...

There are 600 tickets. We start at 7 credits.

500 people have 7 credits
600 have 6
700 have 5
etc


Update AFTER each euro away.

Then I can look and go - Maribor - 600tickets. But I've got 4 credits. Likely no chance so won't book travel.

It's currently a gamble - book hotel/flight/time off work based upon guess work.

I'd be a bit stuffed if I'd proceeded yet if the club published their figures that they refer to for the credits anyway I'd have avoided getting my hopes up.

It's not even hard work.

Definitely. They make a big thing about not travelling without a ticket yet leave us to guess if we'll get one. I'm stuck on 4 now and wondering if I'll get sorted for Sevilla after this.

Good point and same situation.
There's also the cost element.

Today I can book to Seville (or near) and a hotel and be affordable.
Leaving it less than 2 weeks before (where you know if guaranteed a ticket or not) is a gamble and a guess.

[Tommypig]

It's also never going to change unless they make these smaller trips collection at location and in individual name who has the credit or possibly one of the 2 with credit must be in travelling party - I thought I stood a good chance for this and i'm gutted as can't do Seville but will 100%, qualify for that one and will have to make trip to Maribor hoping I can pick something up over there.

Seem to remember this being against Ludogorets? Could be wrong though.

[ABJ]

From memory, it was the Kazan game.

Kazan rings a bell think around 75 came over.

[rhylred]

Has anybody received their tickets by post yet ?

[LONGWORTH]

no -not expecting anything till tomorrow- don't they send you an email from the PO that it's on the way- the whole thing is a shambles-wanted collection redirected to my home address -when i phoned up and was up for paying the £5.65 their computer systems had conked out-had to take my debit card details in writing and said they would do it later. Shambles I'm afraid

[rhylred]

Your right,e mailed them Friday to make sure 5 were posted,heard nothing,still not received money for visa for Russia & no explanation how we’re going to get it...

[LONGWORTH]

you'd also expect the extra postage costs to appear on your purchase history -not on mine  A

[kevlumley]

Out of interest, how are the club able to reimburse peoples visas? Which pot of gold does that come out of? It was a great gesture.

[LONGWORTH]

Kevin -they only did it as the Mancs had already made that gesture for their trip  to Moscow -not sure what pot of gold it comes out of but they have a stockpile

[Craig S]

For the people that travelled from the UK it will be about £50k the club have to shell out. It's not a huge amount these days.

Just got the Royal Mail e-mail so 1 of our 2 sets of tickets is on its way.

Correct. I sat right next to the Real Madrid contingent a few years ago in the UC when they beat us 4-0(?). They were singing their songs and going mad. Steward explained who they were, seemed a mixture of youth players, officials, WAGS etc.

Ditto I've seen it at the Bernabeu etc

[rhylred]

thanks for that will keep a look out tomorrow 👍👍

[DougLFC94]

[DougLFC94]

i didn't have an email for our moscow tickets but did so for this so it must just be pot luck Phil

[rhylred]

With our TO Doug wait till ya get to my age you'll be a nervous wreck 

[LONGWORTH]

been out all morning-got there's something for you thing from the Post Office- no email the previous day---- jokers

[ABJ]

Has anyone received a Royal Mail e-mail today? 1 set of tickets have arrived but no sign of the 2nd lot and no e-mail either. Paid £5.65 for next day delivery and here we are 5 days later and they haven't even been sent out yet.

I've just spoken to the TO, I'm still none the wiser, I may as well have asked my 8 year old the same question. After telling them that we fly on Sunday, I was told that if I hadn't received them by Monday then to call them to arrange dupes...you really couldn't make it up.

[Trev20]

Tickets arrived this morning by post 

[rhylred]

Same as ABJ,5 arrived this morning no e mail to let us know,had also e mailed customer services last Friday to confirm that 5 were being posted to my address,as only mine was showing as being posted on order,now Wednesday still not responded to original e mail...
& Don’t even mention the Russian visa money we are owed,FFS how long does it take..
Absolute Disgrace

[Shanklygates]

Our lead customer is abroad til Thurs so just hoping he has a Royal Mail card on his mat and can collect Fri as we fly Sun too 

Turns out Ryanair cancelled his flight  so he was in Scotland but is back tonight and had 2 emails yesterday so hopefully they'll all be at the sorting office 2moro!

[jdirckze]

card on mat when I got home - don't think I've ever had an email off them confirming ticket delivery
