Topic: League Cup Final 2024 vs Chelsea Ticket Details

[redman1974]

Any fairly priced coach travel? No one mention Coach Innovations…

Coaches from the church £55

[keano7]

Big green coach is 45 ... used them for the fa cup semi and final last year, sound as.

The 8.30 leaving time is putting me off a little. Even with a clean run you wouldn’t get to the ground until 1pm including stops. Hit a bit of traffic and it’s tough and go if you make kick off.

No worries, apologies for the terrible uploading/editing

nothing is blacked out just FYI, can see your email & supporter ID. would suggest deleting

[bignred84]

With the new "digital" system, they at least have some "data" on forwarded tickets so I would love to see them implement this as I think you'd probably see with the league cup that all homes attended (but not forwarded) would probably be guaranteed a final ticket

Amazing how many spares (& freebies) were on offer on every platform for the West Ham match a week before Xmas,
for a mid-week fixture, Xmas work parties to attend etc.

6.20pm and still no email whether I’m successful or not

Cheers mate. 4 off you, so hoping for similar luck to you and squeezing in. Were you the last person to get one or did it go a bit further than your number? No worries if you can't remember

This looks great! What are the coach trips like solo? I'm up for the craic

[sheepfest]

5 of us booked on this earlier, it is steep though - was cheaper in 2022.

It was quality last time, one of my favourite days out

Yep not cheap but a cracking day.

Booked this again and will be in Allerton Hall at 9 for all you can eat brekkie.

[bignred84]

Doubt it - the trains are scheduled to run fine*

*as fine as avanti can ever be

Worldchoice Sports are doing one @ £130

[nickystickers]

Emails should all be out by now to be honest, they did go successful first based on the messages in here but I've seen people with 6,000+ waiting list position (Josh Sexton is 7,000 and posted 40 mins ago on LinkedIn) so I'd check your junk/spam at this stage or try the website mate.

Yeah, I've been checking my junk all day but still nothing. Tried contacting the club through the chat and Twitter but the ticket office is now closed.

Anyone else still waiting to hear back?

[VVM]

Does anybody know of any coaches from the North Wales/Chester area? Imagine we’ll end up getting the train but nice to know if there are options.

[Craig S]

Obviously as someone who goes everywhere I’m all for those attending getting the credit. Just needs to be cross competition. People support Liverpool not Liverpool in the league cup, or Liverpool in the FA Cup. Those that go most deserve tickets most. Or the idea of any loyalty is completely out of the door.

I say this as a ST holder with 19 aways.

Cross competition makes it even more of a closed shop than it is now. It puts in the hands of STs with league aways for absolutely everything. In 2003 loads of STs fucked off the earlier rounds of the league cup, then all turned back up for the final vs the mancs, ahead of fan cards with lge cup credits - Could not be arsed supporting Liverpool in the early rounds vs the like of Southampton & Ipswich (they were poorly attended), but as soon as the final came around they were up for it - You would be back to that situation.

It would also be financial suicide from the club, look at the league cup attendances prior to them bringing it in. Now we sell out every league cup game whoever we play. It was changed after the 2003 final and I think the first season of loyalty in the cup comps was 04/05 (might be the season before but we didnt do anything) - even then when people were not onto it the attendances in the CL were poor, Monaco at home was a poor attendance, compare that to now.

Any spare stubs ?

Knew I was rubbish at this editing.

I honestly don't know to be honest. The email says positions 405 to 585, so with me being at 542 there was another 43 positions it went to.

Ah, I did it in a rush and forgot to edit.

[The_Rebel]

🤣🤣🤣🤣  🍻🍻🍻

ha im guessing the no booze rule does not adhered too then ha - none of my mates got a ticket so doing this one solo, did FA Cup Final 2006 solo on the coach when I was 17, been a while!

The 3000 most loyal fans gets to go finals. 99% of them probably do anyway.

All that would happen is below that; you get people who go to more games getting priority over those who go to three.

Forgive me for not favouring commercial advantage over rewarding the most loyal fans.

Completely disagree.

This helps out those who can’t be arsed with league cup but then all of a sudden are interested in a final ticket.

[Barry Banana]

Completely disagree.

Vs those who only bother with cups cos they know there is a chance of finals if they do?

Those who go the most are the most loyal or you might as well not call it a loyalty system at all. Just accept it’s a commercial system to encourage attendance at earlier rounds.

So you want everyone ranked on a list in order of how many games they’ve been too?

hypothetically, how would you get your child their first match ticket? If they’ve never been to one.

And what about those who I stated earlier, on paper their credit history is amazing and goes back years, but they’ve not been to any games.

They’d have loads of ‘loyalty’

[RebeccaLFC]

Completely disagree.

Yeah cross cup competition would be a nightmare.

[Barry Banana]

So you want everyone ranked on a list in order of how many games they’ve been too?

Absolutely.

And games they’ve attended personally - not just bought for.

Again, all you’re telling me here is (not you personally) you don’t want to bother with Leicester and west Ham in midweek league cup, and just want to go the league games and still be guaranteed for the final of the cup you couldnt be arsed attending until now

[Hij]

Sorry that you're original screenshot had your email, I didn't notice. 585 being a higher number than 546 gives me some hope tonight that I didn't have when I first got the email so thanks mate!

[RebeccaLFC]

Absolutely.

And games they’ve attended personally - not just bought for.

Ranking everyone in order of how many games they’ve been to has so many flaws and not to mention it would be detrimental to the future.

[Hij]

Absolutely.

And games they’ve attended personally - not just bought for.

Difficult to do that with the away matches but that's a whole different kettle of fish.

As I say I think if only those who attended 3 out of 3 through their phone NFC could enter the ballot, we'd have been sorted without the need for including other games.

[hoppyLFC]

Saw that Worldchoice Sports are doing one but pretty steep at £130 return

3 mates are booked onto this but are now going on a minibus.
They are selling the train tickets for £100 each, anyone on here message me if interested, i can provide email proof etc.

[Dagro]

My own fault for rushing. Good luck with the waitlist. Its horrible with a "relatively" low number as you are in limbo

[ScubaSteve]

Saw that Worldchoice Sports are doing one but pretty steep at £130 return

Did this I think it was for the charity shield. Was great on the way but the amount of people trying to bunk the train on the way back was a joke. More expensive this time too.

I’m staying overnight this time so can enjoy it. Booked a train from Liverpool as soon as I got the email

Finally successful in the ballot 

[ScubaSteve]

Totally agreed. Forwarding on could continue to count towards the home games maybe but should not count towards ballots for finals. Those who actually have been should be the successful ones. There probably wouldn't even be a need for a ballot on 3 If it was done for those who actually went.

This IS the fairest way to do it. I can’t believe it hasn’t been introduced already. Common sense should prevail

[Barry Banana]

Ranking everyone in order of how many games they’ve been to has so many flaws and not to mention it would be detrimental to the future.

As a loyalty system it’s flawless. Most loyal rewarded.

[WorldChampions]

Made up to be successful after the cluster fuck for the league games a few weeks ago.

You added to this after I responded so I’m responding to your additional points.

Kids would be able to more games because people wouldn’t have a chance of finals just by attending a few cup games. Demand would drop. People have already made the point that the loyalty system isn’t about loyalty but about filling the ground in earlier rounds. Over the years, people who taken all opportunities available (cos they want to go - not because of a dangling carrot of a final ticket) would build up loyalty and be able to go to more and more, until eventually, through years of loyalty, they qualify for finals.

All this relies on the people actually attending getting the credit - which I’ve been advocating.

[Stringfella]

If you attend you should get the credit, not if you buy!  Simple as that!

[RebeccaLFC]

Over the years, people who taken all opportunities available (cos they want to go - not because of a dangling carrot of a final ticket) would build up loyalty and be able to go to more and more, until eventually, through years of loyalty, they qualify for finals.

And then them people you mention ‘over the years’ with ‘years of loyalty’ eventually all die, then what? Dramatic I know 🤣. But there are flaws in your system…to the untrained eye you can see if this was implemented there would be a clear linear correlation between age and loyalty.

[RebeccaLFC]

If you attend you should get the credit, not if you buy!  Simple as that!

Same shit different year

Bring in this 'have to attend' stuff and there'll be people posting burners around with DHL

Always be a way around it

Burners are a massive issue atm…. I literally couldn’t even think of a way of the top of my head to prevent it either.

Other than literally thumb printing to get in 😂😂
