If I qualify for a guaranteed ticket but waited to discover if someone was successful in the ballot in the hope of purchasing two tickets together, would the guaranteed one still be eligible once the ballot sales commence or will it not longer be eligible to get one?

No

[lego]

No later than 3pm apparently.

There's a premier league game at 130.

Sky probably don't want them to overlap

They might put the final at 130and the league game at 430.

That would allow time for possible extra time, penalties, etc without any overlap

You need to buy in your allocated sale, otherwise they wouldn’t know how many tickets were left to
distribute in the ballot.

That would be even worse & fuck over even more supporters. Imagine being a wolves or sheff united supporter and booked advance trains.
"Sorry, have to move it now, despite there being absolutely no caveat on the game when the fixture was announced."

As supporters, of all teams, we accept being treated with utter fucking contempt

[claresy2005]

Usually go by car but have booked off peak train option just in case pending final ballot results etc as will affect which of us travel and method of travel.

Last train 21.19. Feels just about feasible with The inevitable ET and pens…

IF (aware there is some debate) it remains 4.30 KO, finishes 6.40 ish 90 mins. That’s no issues and you could probably comfortably fit watching a trophy lift in aswell

If it’s extra time and pens it’s leaving your seat 7.45 possibly if you bail … probably no time to hang around for a trophy lift?
 Thoughts and experience from those who’ve got trains back from previous 4.30 Sunday finals?

All this assumes there is no train/tube strikes too …

[upthereds1993]

That section will be sold out by the time he gets in. I’d do the opposite, take the upper tier as they’ll be what’s left to buy for him if successful

Im hoping they off the expensive tickets to the PRHs. If they want better seats and they’ve gone the games, they hold off in that sale

Think there may be a few more choosing the upper over the lower this time around due to them bumping the lower tickets up to £97. A good £50 / £60 difference between the two tiers

I had this issue for the 2022 League Cup final. Managed to stay and watch the trophy lift, but as soon as Hendo had lifted it, I had to leave. Made it to Euston just in time for the train, but it was tight. My train was at 2050 hrs.

Will he be able to enter the ballot by himself as a junior? Think he can as it’s not Anfield but worth checking that before you get yours.

What is the age limit to purchase a junior ticket?

A junior is classed as being 16 years and under.

Children aged 13 years and under must be accompanied by an adult.                           

Children (under the age of 2) will not be permitted into the stadium.

It says YA are 17-21 so would make an assumption kids are 16 and under

[G a r y]

Anyone remember the number of people you can go in the ballot with? I seem to remember it being 6 or maybe 8

It’s 8.

Just had the email there telling me I’m eligible to register.

[G a r y]

Yeah me too, nice one. Didn't see the info on the numbers for the group entry, so ta

[scouser102002]

Yeah 100%

I don’t mind missing out in another ballot providing that they go to the fans who attended all the games. With this impacting both STHs and members it would be a step up for them to introduce something that makes sense to us but a bold move for them to make.

I think if it’s NFC it might stop some (not all) from passing on as it’s far easier to do with paper tickets.

It's a million times easier to pass on with NFC. Just forward the email.

Don't even need to get out of bed.

[Hij]

Yeah I'll be honest I bought the tickets and didn't go cuz I knew I wouldn't have to. Until they make it like league games loads of people will do that.

Yeah fair enough, don't begrudge you doing that at all mate, we all operate in how the system works.

[Jm55]

I think the point is that for home game NFC you can check who is scanning in a it’s attributed to the membership - if the ticket gets forwarded you lose the right to enter the ballot.

so it'll be a generic NFC, not the NFC which you use every match getting into Anfield?

FA cup final I had to get a megabus home, never again. Will stay over this time if I get a ticket.

[scouser102002]

Ok. So I then open email on my lads phone and it will
Update his general NFC pass?

That sounds like a simple way for people to bypass NFCs and forward tickets on. Which is more open than allowing you to send to friends and family.

No. It will be a completely separate pass in your wallet.

I would imagine so yes, it's at Wembley stadium so LFC's membership card isn't going to work in that stadium.

Although I could be completely wrong about that, I haven't been to any of the away league games that have been NFC

[includo]

Did everyone get an email saying they can enter ballot? I did but my Mrs didn’t but we both have all homes

[ScubaSteve]

Nope, nothing. Hopefully a bug! Worrying tho

Have done it 3 times this season already. As far as I know, Fortress GB have the contract with the PL (I could be wrong though) so probably only a matter of time until everyones personal LFC pass will have to be used at every domestic ground.

[adzogolonzo]

NFC system is seriously flawed.  So easy to pass on tickets.  People had a work around inside 30 minutes of them switching

It's more difficult if every club had the same system and it was uploaded to your own pass, rather than being able to forward the email on to others.
Again, won't stop it with burner phones around, but make it harder.

[Jack Sambrook]

Expecting 2 emails only received the 1 so far

Been on to the ticket office through lfc help. Apparently a junior cannot enter the ballot on their own.  Therefore as someone who is in the second sale I can only sit with my lad officially is to drop into the ballot and hope we are successful.

I wondered if that might be the case though it’s not unknown for the TO not to actually know. You can check on Monday to see if it allows you to enter him by himself. For home games you would usually get an error message if you tried to enter a junior by himself but if that doesn’t happen on Monday, maybe go for it.

That’s fucking ridiculous.

You should be able to buy one ticket then enter your son in the ballot - not as if there’s any chance that he ends up with one and you don’t (which would be more understandable).

Do you know anyone else he is linked to in the ballot? If not, do you know anyone with a ST in the ballot that can still link?

Failing that, if you want to, send me a PM and I can link him from my ST. I am in the ballot myself and I will apply alongside him so its adult/child combo.

What a great gesture, thanks a lot.  However, I’ve contacted someone on his f&f who is going to add him to their ballot registration.  One of the key reasons for putting this on here is that I thought there may be others on here assuming they could enter the ballot on their own. Also said that as a junior I couldnt enter them as an adult either.

[willss]

Then if they are successful they can only buy in a max group of three.  Another rule I did know about but defies reasonable logic

[Schmarn]

Not sure what you mean here. Are you saying you can enter him as an adult or you can’t?

Glad you have some way of getting him registered. Good luck

Not sure how old your son is mate, but on the selling notice it says Children 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Therefor if he is between 14 - 16 he should be able to enter alone.

My lad is 15 now and I’ve had the same scenario the last few years when entering ballots for him. Just used to enter him as a single but had to be entered as an adult. Bit of a blow the full price if you get one, but suppose not that bad a headache to have if he gets lucky.

[willss]

Sorry it should have been couldnt

All juniors must join the ballot with an adult. The agent stated that about three times

Since they issued the age checks a junior can no longer buy an adult.
