Try not to panic if you get a notice saying they've all sold out. Dunno if they've changed the system since but if not you will.
The people on the waiting list for Basle got the waiting list email. Then got an email saying all sold out/allocated. Then got an email saying they had been successful.
So if the ticket system is the same now its quite possible they'll need to do the same thing.
As I said earlier we got 1 out of 27 - if you live local you didn’t get one
That's what I was thinking, that from what I'm reading people with L postcodes seem to have got more like 1 in 30 than 1 in 3.
No I pay 3.5k each and got fuck all
Something really stinks about this and supporters need to agitate for answers. The odds to actual success ratio amongst local reds is a massive statistical anomaly.
If they have really sifted the ballots and weighed things in favour of people outside Liverpool this could be explosive. It would need to be someone high up the chain of Lizards to be making that call.
Good to know, thanks mate.
Fuck knows. But it does seem like locals got a lot less than 1 in 3. A shitload less.
I know locals find it harder to get league tickets cos they allocate tickets to registered fan clubs automatically.
Yep. Pete used the supporters club spares to get me match tickets on a few occasions back when I could afford to go as they just allocate them out.
Using the same logic combined with the fact they've published figures about how much non locals fans spend compared to locals & you'd have to assume they prefer to keep non local fans sweet.
We spend less in the club shop and the ground
Yeah, that's true but this game isn't bringing money into Anfield or Liverpool. I know it's better for the club to keep the traveling support sweet but it doesn't make any sense to skew it for this game.
No it doesn't. And they mightn't have. But anecdotally, hardly anyone I know got sorted. Will ask around at the ground tomorrow.
Not really, but it does mean those fans arent gonna be pissed off & possibly tainted about coming over next season by the experience... Local fans may be, & if just a few percent of them fuck it off & non locals take their place match day revenue would go up.
Cynical as fuck maybe but hard to imagine why locals seem to have a 1 in 30 success rate otherwise.
I wondered as well whether OOTs and foreign reds are more likely to be middle class. Lessening the scally count and the potential for a negative impression of the 'brand'. That's maybe with my tinfoil hat on but it occurred to me.
Not at all mate, it's a fair point if we're considering possible reasons the club may have to skew the ballot.
Yeah, but you're using logic and the knowledge that people will travel without tickets. These twats (if we were to indulge my theory) are thinking (and are strongly advising) that no ticket means you don't go to Kiev.
Yeah. That screening thing was a joke.
Surely any sensible idea would be to do the ballot then give unsuccessful fans a link to that. Meaning Anfield gets more of the regulars in the ground & those fans arent left without tickets to watch it anywhere as many of them now will be..
Or get the tickets then can't get their flights cos they're sold out meaning they're returned or sold on.
It's just bizarre.
Most fans would be. But I doubt the dicks in charge have the same mindset & would assume that.
