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

Yeah true that but I bet there are just as many regular match-goers passing on tickets in the early rounds than there are touts who just sell every time.

Having to attend would definitely prevent a lot of people from look at alternatives like the burner

I’ve never passed on a ticket but I do think you should have an option but not for them all

[Barry Banana]

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.

You were taking about kids. We all start from nowhere and have to build even in the current system. We just have to do it in separate competitions.

You could extend your argument about access to say kids not on Euro ACS will never get a chance of a champions league final. So let’s bin all loyalty in European competition.

It’s not just about touting, it’s about genuine match going reds on the ACS who can’t be arsed going to the early rounds, palm their ACS ticket off to friends and family in the early rounds and then go to the final!

For those looking for cheap trains you can get a return from Crewe to Euston for £38, cheaper if you have a railcard. So drive or train to Crewe, either way a decent option.

[DangerScouse]

Unsuccessful.  Same result for every ballot since they started doing them.  Never been successful ever.  And always get a waiting list number in the 000s

I'd still be unsuccessful if I was the only one in the ballot.

Harder though, I'm always up for making it harder. Currently you can do it all from the comfort of your home, at least in your method the phones getting posted in both directions etc, plus if it goes missing at any stage, you're back on to the chat asking for another NFC download.

[Jm55]

If they were that arsed they could just conduct regular ID checks and ban people’s memberships who have passed the ticket on without the club’s consent, as soon as that starts happening to more than a handful of people a week it’ll change.

Im not really telling anyone anything they don’t already know but I remember going to the First National (one for the kids there) after the Athens ballot result and having the same conversation with a couple of fellas who didn’t have a ticket in between them then, there’s no right or wrong way to do it and certainly not one which will keep everyone happy.

[Hij]

Plus with away tickets, it was only ever posting it one way, this is posting it two ways. Plus it would only impact finals, so if we don't have one for a few years people would get tired of the effort every September. Plus I'm not that bothered if the 10% of people keen enough to do whatever it takes have burner phones, there will be thousands who can't be arsed with it.

Whereas now on the same PC chair you can buy the ticket, forward the ticket and watch the game on a stream, at least get people out the house moving phones about, having it arrive late back for the weekend game because the fella you posted it to went on the lash after the game and was too hungover to leave his room.

What end are we? Got 1 out of 2 singles

I know but people who don't tout will still do that

I passed on my Norwich ticket and was email distributed a hospo one and still attended, club system won't have me down as attending it 🤷

To be fair though you’ve done that knowing that it doesn’t matter as you can forward the ticket and keep the credit.

If the rule was that forwarding lost the credit then I guess you’d have kept the original ticket?

[RandalstownRed]

East.

Thanks

[AR48]

Success!! Got the league cup in 22 cos of an away. Got the FA Cup Semi ballot but was unsuccessful in the final. So made up to be successful this time round!

Not really my partner got full European credits from starting fresh a two or three seasons ago. And now this year is on the ACS and will be in the ballot for the final if we get there. Just put the effort in. 


But obviously under your loyalty system he wouldn’t deserve it.


I’ve gone away from your point there… but it was that you don’t need to be in ACS to get European homes. Could get all homes without being in the ASC. (Admittedly it’s harder round by round)

Just put the effort in across all competitions. Easy. Plenty on here have built up leagues through effort and persistence.

Those who’ve put the effort in across all competitions deserve to go more than someone who’s been to three games. It’s that simple.

I go to all leagues, and cup competitions and still think it should be competition by competition.

So if I went to all 11 prem home games so far this season, but no league cup games… I’m more entitled to get a final ticket than someone who went to 0 prem home games and 3 league cup games?!!

Make it make sense. We’ll agree to disagree haha

[VVM]

Keep the system how it is but if you forward the ticket you keep the credit but then you give up your chance of going to the final should we make it that year. Can’t see there being an issue with that?

Sure people might start fucking around with burner phones but personally I couldn’t be fucked with all that.

Yes - that makes perfect sense. You’ve been to more games.

[RebeccaLFC]

Yes - that makes perfect sense. You’ve been to more games.

Great. So you can just go to the league games and the big cup finals across 3 cup comps without going to any of the shitty earlier rounds. Delightful. And morally amazing. 🤩. Sign me up. 🙃

[kratos]

10pm and still no email about the ballot. Yes I did apply in the ballot and have proof of email etc

Have you ever accidently unsubscribed to their emails? I saw on twitter some one done that once and they’ve regretted it ever since 😂. They’re just always on edge never knowing the results of the ballots haha!

[SnowGoon]

Ridiculous, 13+ would just sweep all the final ticket every time...

[Jm55]

Surely you can resubscribe?!

Probably, but why can't I upgrade for a game? 😂

Sure things will change going forward at some point

Shower Of Shite probably don't do cup games though and won't vote any changes through

[SnowGoon]

Its great that if you go to all rounds of a competition you have the chance of a final ticket, cant just fob you off and give it to others who couldn't be bothered. Didn't Forest do this when they played us 2 years ago, ST holders all decided to go as was Liverpool, leaving some who had been to all the games before to miss out.

The only reason people want ALL games to count is as it benefits themselves. This is what non 13+ go through for all 19 home premier league games, they watch as the 13+ sweep all the best seats up, they then enter a ballot and may or may not "win" the chance to buy. Then they wait for the late sales.

Contacting You

Please send me emails about Liverpool FC, the LFC Foundation and Liverpool FC Women
YesNo

YesNo

Both was selected as no. I don't remember recently changing this, certainly not since the ballot application where I have the email from LFC.  Nevertheless, changed both to a yes to see if anything happens! Probably not and need them to resend the email....

[DGS_05]

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!

Not just booze either!!
I use them a lot as cheapest around normally and collection/drop off points work for me. But, they won't be for everyone and know a lot dont use them as don't enjoy the company on board.
However, this time I'm getting train down Saturday, back Monday.

Is that your actual ticket account that you done that through? Or just your generic website account? They’re both two separate things aren’t they! Haha!

Basically they still get emails when they buy tickets and register for ballots, their booking confirmation ones but the ballot ones with info on, they never get and it was cause of the screen shot below they clicked unsubscribe

Fingers crossed it works

[Roy Cropper]

unsuccessful and now 4 unsuccessful in a row (inc FA Cup Final, Paris, Charity Shield). With Anfield getting even bigger ballots will become even harder to be successful.

I think something needs to be done to allow fans who have been unsuccessful a better chance in the future. This could apply to the membership ballots and local ballots too.

[ScouserTom]

A mate was successful in ballot. He won’t know until the week before the game if he can go. If he can’t the ticket is mine, however with it being digital NFC without the ability to forward or distribute what is the way around this?

Has this been the situation for some recent aways also?

How does it work in this instance? Is it a 1-time download link or something. Do we just wait and only download it to the the phone which will be travelling?

Any genuine knowledge appreciated

Kind regards,

Be less ticket scrambles over the Graham Potter years anyway

He can just forward the email to you, you then click download on the link and the ticket downloads to the phone you’ve clicked the link from. Whether it can be downloaded more  than once etc I think depends on the NFC ticket but to be honest they’re only sending them out the week before the game anyway so by that point you should be close to your mate knowing - best thing to do is for him to keep the email, don’t click the link until it’s being downloaded onto the phone which is deffo going to use it.

Yes, if it's like the aways this season using them, it'll be a one off NFC emailed to your mate. Tell him not to click the download in the email unless he's definitely using it, otherwise he can forward it to you to download to your phone.

We're only being sent them in the week before the game so it's likely he'll know if he's using it by then I guess.

So that one with the yes/no was from the ticketing account.

I found another Content preferences link from the main LFC account (or more accurately clicked the link from a previous LFC email) and this one has sliders to toggle on/off. And on that, everything is toggled off except the one that says "Please note we can send you messages related to your orders, services subscribed and updates relating to products or services you have purchased from us, or information about your account. This includes communications relating to Season Tickets, Ticket Sales and Official Membership benefits, If you explicitly would like to turn off these type of communication, it may limit your ability to be aware of these benefits."

So I feel the important one is switched on but I may have to switch everything on it seems. It feels odd because I do have the Liverpool FC Booking Confirmation from the actual ballot application just like the one you posted so I have no idea whats going on.  I'm going to have to get on the live chat first thing!

Perfect. Thanks

The only thing I’d bear in mind is that I’ve seen reports on here of people being unlucky and the NFC not working, they then go to the TO of whatever ground they’re at and are unable to get a paper ticket because obviously they’re not the person named on the ticket.

I went to Arsenal on someone else’s ticket as did my Dad and had no issues, but apparently some did have the above issue at Arsenal and Palace.
