Match tickets and Season Tickets discussion thread

For this reason I still print my plane tickets

 

Aye, then there's the chance the system just doesn't even work on the day like at the world cup.

Everyone thinks digital is more convenient until it ****s up.

 

Was in Dublin airport last July,height of the summer and the guy in front of me approaching the security and they couldn't read his boarding pass after a 40 minute queue,downloaded in wrong format or something,send back to sort it out ffs As far as I know Ryanair don't accept e-tickets or at least you need both.

Sounds like paper tickets then?

Unless i didn't read it all properly.

 

They're charging £2.10 for postage

 

pity there is no diagram to show what section is what Category
last time I went we bought the second highest priced ticket and got stuck at the back of a corner
while the cheapest where sat behind the goal

hearing the allocation is 32, 761

 

How many ST holders do we have?

 

ST holders who haven't been to a league cup game ahead of members who have...

 

Is there an allocation for overseas fans?Asking for a friend.

 

theres an international consortium being put together to purchase a box

 

Was just doing a bit of maths 32,761 tickets available, apparently there are between 29000 and 30000 season ticket holders (say 80% of season ticket holders buy a ticket) then there will be around 8000 tickets for the members/ general ballot.

 

go look at the final thread

 

That's the e-mails dropping now, just got mine.

EDIT: It's just the details we've read so far.

 

What’s with all the likes you b******s.

 

Every ST won't go but all ST holders tickets will sell out as they'll get them for mates etc.

It just comes down to whether we have more ST holders than the allocation or not, however corporate is also included in the 33k allocation apparently.

Unlikely to get to members i reckon.
