Ticket price hike

Regular adult season tickets are around eight or nine hundred depending on where they are in the ground

Thinking back now, that was an amazing deal mate 🙂
Pre covid, just to get two tickets together I had 3 devices with 2 member subs open at 8am to in order to grab tickets.
Seriously considered buying a bot to do it for me but was over a grand for a LFC bot then, not looked into how that works now with tickets being all NFC.
Seems like for out of towners like me, easiest way out of member ballot to is to just buy the corporate tickets.
 
I've heard it's easier to get them off touts now if you don't mind paying over the odds, as they're selling the ticket on a phone you can buy off Alibaba for 30 quid and you can keep it or bin it when you leave the ground. You couldn't do that with fancards so they had to have a method of getting loads back after the game without looking obvious. This could all be bollocks, my mate was telling me the other day that he'd spoken to a kop steward, who'd been told to turn a blind eye to it. His theory was they were measuring the prevalence this year to see how much they can raise tickets by next season, or take all the tout's tickets back in one go.

I suppose it makes sense. If you spend a couple of hundred or more on a tout site and a phone with the ticket on it turns up at your door, they've still made a decent profit.

That makes sense, need to crack the NFC protocol over wifi then all sorted 🙂
 
I think tickets are generally easier to get this season as there are no credits associated with them, so people dont have to buy a ticket for every match just to keep their credits up,

Also ST holders were offered a year off with a guarantee to get it back next season

I got a ticket for the Palace game in September on general sale, which I think is almost unheard of in recent years

Credits do still apply but wont after this season.
I think the relative increase in availability of tickets is down to the multiple membership holders who snapped up tickets on all their cards previously lost all but one card as they had to link some form of official id to their membership.
 
The website said there were tickets on general sale for arsenal on Tuesday. Dunno if there are any left. Probs returns due to the NFC thing

Also credits not counting this season is a factor in this. People know they won't lose the credit so not as arsed giving it up.

Local general sale though.. for an OOTer like me, still little chance of getting one. Especially as I don't have a membership card.
