From the Daily Post today

 

LFC said it would ?not be drawn into the numbers game? and say exactly how many tickets had been up for grabs in the computerised ballot, which was open to season ticket or fan card holders who had attended six or more of the team?s qualifying Champions League games this season

 

If mods want to put this into another thread then fine

I thought it was worth highlighting

They don't have something to hide do they?

 

Oh and the Post also says there will be a protest on Sunday against UEFA!!

THOUSANDS of Liverpool FC season ticket holders have been left heartbroken after missing out on tickets to the Champions League final.

 

Pff, not just ST holders, the poor loves.

Yeah, I ready what the thread title states and it really annoyed me that. We're the ones that keep this club alive so we deserve to know why this "numbers game" has left me without a f***ing ticket.

Just on R5 that Liverpool have lodged a formal complaint with UEFA about ticket allocation.

 

Posturing. Putting on a show for the affected fans.

Makes no odds - what it boils down to is lots of expectant and hopeful fans, nothing remotely like a decent number of tickets for too small a stadium unless you happen to be a friend of the UEFA board.

A bit late in the day to be throwing shapes

Cos you of course know when we lodged the complaint

 

When would you like them to lodge the complaint? When we actually made our feelings known several weeks ago?

this may sound a bit stupid so forgive me for asking but i have a question about these fancards and allocation etc.. i've had a mad 7/10 days and i've been really out the loop as to what exactly's happened though i'm going to have a little look in a moment to get up to speed (and with all news in general)..

 

Fancards - why were they brought out?

Do season ticket holders have an option to buy one?

Liverpool have complained about their ticket allocation for the UEFA Champions League final against Milan.

 

The Reds have been awarded 17,000 seats for the game at the 63,000-capacity Olympic Stadium in Athens, and believe they are entitled to ask Uefa for more.

 

Liverpool have been criticised by some of their own fans for their methods of distribution, with some having made arrangements to travel only to be told they will not qualify for a ticket.

 

"The bottom line is that Uefa have not supplied anywhere near enough tickets for the Champions League Final," read a statement from the club.

 

"Liverpool have expressed their disappointment and frustration to Uefa - but have been told categorically that no more tickets will be allocated to the club, not even the returned tickets from Milan - they will go into a Uefa ballot.

 

"Liverpool Football Club understands and shares the disappointment of their fans in what is a very frustrating situation.

 

"Our policy on tickets was available right from the start of the season and has not changed.

 

"The ballot for Liverpool fans was drawn up to be as fair as possible to fans, but the bottom line is that Uefa have not supplied enough tickets for the match."

 

Uefa, who has allocated 20,000 tickets to the 'Uefa family' and a further 9,000 via a ballot, insist the system is fair.

 

"If we built a stadium with a million seats, the match would still sell out and supporters would not be able to see the pitch," Uefa spokesman William Gaillard told the Liverpool Echo.

 

"It's impossible more will be released in the coming weeks - 17,000 is the final figure."

all this uefa allocation stuff deflects from whatever corrupt f***up is going on with this ballot. this is purely smoke and mirrors to get fans to blame someone else. yes the alolocation is pitiful, but it doesn't account for the lack of succesful applicants from the ballot and the clubs refusal to say exactly how many tickets went into that ballot.

 

supposedly the players are on 24 tickets each - that's f*cking 500 for the 1st team squad alone.

STs are fan cards

?

 

Season Tickets are classed as fan cards you mean? ok then, so anyone with a season ticket who's been to the 7 European games and any fan card holders who've been to the 7 games qualifies for a ticket then?

 

At the beginning of the season (or each respective competition) do Liverpool say "if we get the final this is how you will get a ticket".. ?

WHen you buy a ST, you get a fan card with it. It has a number, it has additional rights (aways etc) because it's an ST and you use the number to register ticket purchases and the loyalty accrues.

 

There's nothing specific about the loyalty policy, other than the fact that it is competition specific.

Deflection happening big time...

 

Shift the blame on to UEFA.

it is ultimately UEFA's fault. For all finals, 90% of the tickets should go to the 2 sets of fans. It's not difficult. We could have shifted 100,000 tickets for this

What percentage of tickets do the mancs and chelsea have for the fa cup?

 

Bet it's lucky if it's 60%

Whilst that is largely correct, the lack of transparency in the ballot hasn't given those who failed a warm(er) feeling...

 

If you knew the numbers there might be some consolation that things appeared to have been done fairly. That's certainly not the feeling at the moment!

True, Wayne missing out stinks. My brother has 6 credits plus the qualifier (which doesn't count) and missed out.

 

Why doesn't the qualifier count? That's a game which real fans come out for
