Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted August 13, 2019 Does anyone know the maximum number of tickets you can buy if you have the appropriate memberships and details? There are six of us who want to go, we're all premier away members, and we all have each other's details on our respective Friends & Family. If one of us gets through, will we be able to buy all six tickets? Or is the maximum number you can purchase lower than that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobsworth Canary 168 Posted August 13, 2019 I would say if you are not in the first 100 at the Carra by the time the internet sales open all tickets will be gone on about 15 minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROBFLECK 132 Posted August 13, 2019 My question (probably already been asked on the message board) : WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO PURCHASE A TICKET WITH STANDARD MEMBERSHIP? (at least what do you think?) thanks for your reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm planning on logging onto the website at 9am, and I'm aware that the phone line was a bit of a lottery... did anyone go down to the ticket office in person? Does anyone know what proportion of the tickets are reserved for buyers in person and/or what the queues were like? From what I saw/read; Liverpool sold out online at around 9.35 But were still for sale by phone at 10.30 - Getting in the phone queue was impossible for me. Managed to get tickets online at 9.20ish though. I believe there is a split of tickets by mediums, phone/in-store/online. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Il Pirata 249 Posted August 13, 2019 The issue (amongst many) with this membership scheme is that its a complete lottery. Tickets served on a first come, first served basis. For fairness, members who miss out on tickets this time should be given a greater chance come the next sale. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if I upgrade , I am not guaranteed anything... Naturally , as a fan I want us to win and can't start hoping for us to lose as CD mentioned...but there should be a fairer way to get more people to enjoy an away game! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farcical. I think the key is not to refresh once you get the 'site is closed' message. It seems to automatically put you in the queue, and for me my laptop (which I signed onto first) was in front of desktop, by approximately the same time it took me to sign in on that.

(at least what do you think?) thanks for your reply You will probably be able to get one for games like Burnley away or Southampton away. For anything in London, Manchester or Birmingham plus Bournemouth I'd say highly unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This system is far from perfect but a closed shop of 3,000 would be worse. Who gets to choose the elite 3,000? Whatever system why charge £50 for something you ain’t likely to get ?
