Ticketing

I’m not sure that I’d twigged that it was a ballot for a ticket that you’ll then have to join another queue for for an actual seat

Oh aye. Depending on if lucky enough to 'win' yoh still have to potentially spend an age in a queue to buy and often if unlucky with queue position it is a case of having to take any old spec....Far corners of main stand upper for example.

Who am I kidding. I don’t think I’ve had a ticket through the club since Klopp arrived

Unless you had got to the 4 or 13 thresholds in league or were in the acs schemes for cups i can believe that would be possible 

 

As i see it it can be tough (not impossible) but tough.

Isn't this 'create the demand and they will pay through the nose' situation great nowadays! I am glad I dont go any more and can wax lyrical over queuing up outside the Kop to get in and waiting to see if the day's game is a 'voucher' game for an all ticket big game coming up.

[Kevin D]

ACS payment has been taken today.

[Kevin D]

Pfft.

You’re ahead of me

Genuinely can't believe they can still get away with this. If you get the light membership then the only real 'benefit' is having the chance to enter the ballot. But without capping the numbers that can join it's basically £25 for a lottery ticket. Or a £25 booking fee if you happen to get tickets for a single game.

I gave my kids' membership up as we tried for years with no tickets.

 

I'm on ACS with my mate and likely to lose access to the cup games if I drop off in the hope of getting them a game in one of those. Not really sure how kids are supposed to get access to games these days other than through someone you know when they start with zero credits.

 

They're 11 and 9 now and have been to one league game each. I'd been to dozens by that age.

Good chance for Burnley if they get the stand fully open. Best I got was 25k.

This new system where the member who attend the game gets the credit makes it even easier for the touts than it used to be to get their hands on more tickets.

 

The math is very simple.

 

If a tout has 10 cards with full credits and he buy all 19 home games on every card, he has 60 matches availible if he takes a chance on 13 matches is enough for full credit the next season.

 

He might want to be on the safe side though, so he makes sure every card have at least 14 matches, that makes 50 matches availible.

 

These matches he can then start to distribute on new member cards, then when next season comes, he has got 14 or 13 cards with full credits, instead of 10, depending on if he fill his cards with 13 or 14 credits.

 

This new system has to go, if someone cant attend a game and have to sell on the ticket, they should obviously keep the credit. The same obviously goes if they buy a ticket and then cant go without being able to sell it on or give it away so it register at the ground.

It is a scam.

 

If you explain it to non-Liverpool fans, they think you’re mental.

[RedKnight]

Said it for years. Not capping memberships is like printing free money for them. They could at minimum be transparent about the odds when you're looking to buy or renew your membership.

 

Don't get me started on the penalties for members missing games whilst the gilded life of the season ticket holder means they can drop in and out whenever they please,

Indeed - it was admittedly a few years ago but I remember researching other clubs' membership schemes and ours was uniquely terrible. Every other club seemed to offer tiered membership, with far more tickets reserved for members and much more transparency about what your chances were.

Another ballot coming up for me. I'd appreciate it if the stress of getting a ticket for a final stopped taking the shine off getting to every final.

Unless did an away was always going to be a ballot job. 

 

Seems fair enough to me.

 

Odds appear to be about a 1 in 1.8 chance it seems.

The gilded life of a season ticket holder also has its flaws. Like… I’ll never be able to take my daughter to a match unless I can persuade someone who sits near me to miss one.

 

edit: oh, and I’ll never go to a cup final again cause I said no to the ACS one year not knowing it was a use it or lose it situation

I thought ACS opened up each year.

Regarding the cup final, can anyone remember how the tickets work. I let my lad go the games on my ticket but according to the rules final tickets are not transferable so if I get one it will be in my name and I can’t use Family and Friends to send it to him. I took him to the last final so must have been able to get the ticket to him but can’t remember how. I am guessing it wasn’t downloaded to the nfc but maybe a qr code that I was able to send to his phone. Anyone know?

We had paper tickets for last final.

 

This time is digital but will just be a code in an email job i reckon not a wallet job like nornal home tickets.

Only if you were in it the previous year. I’m sure it will have said that the time I decided to opt out, but if it did I didn’t read it, and so no more domestic cup matches for me.

 

I kept Europe, thankfully, though I’ve never been successful in a ballot for any European finals.

Hope so. I read the link to EFL site about the tickets and in the small print it does say something along the lines of being able to pass the tickets to others as long as you know them and are not over charging. Suspect it will be a QR code then
