Match Ticket Thread - Spares/Requests - FACE VALUE OR LESS ONLY!


Read a few points about getting on the ladder. One of the bigger issues here is the allocations that some clubs are getting away with giving meaning a few hundred miss out. With the likes of Burnley it is just unfortunate that they have a smaller ground - so a 2,400 allocation is fair and in line with the rules but the RS giving 2,700 is a joke.

It's been harder to get tickets for the last few aways due to us having Liverpool, City and Burnley in a row. After the new year the demand will reduce as we have less local aways and games like Cardiff midweek. If we are out of the running for 6th or if 7th won't get European Football then the ones in April/May will have a lot less demand too.

If you let Chelsea off for giving us 2,995 tickets, the ONLY match for whom we didn’t receive 10% or 3,000 was the derby. Of course, we gave them 2,892 in April and they gave us 2,749 in December. I’m not necessarily in favour of going lower because it becomes a race to bottom with both sets of away fans missing out. However, if they keep cutting us by more than they cut ours, then we have to at least give them only what they gave us. This piece in the Echo is interesting - https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo...ews/away-allocation-been-hit-everton-15470716
- but doesn’t call out the various hypocrisies of the situation, namely:

  1. They give us 150 odd fewer tickets despite having a stadium over 35% larger than us
  2. Literally every away section at every premier league match remains standing for the vast majority of the match – I can only think of sitting at an away game when we’ve been 3 or 4 goals down and everyone is slumped in a slough of despond
  3. If the jobsworth “safety advisory group” says that it’s so terrifyingly dangerous for 3,000 away fans to be admitted, why do they allow nearly 8,000 in the FA Cup?
  4. The article notes, “the reduction in numbers is to allow a safe evacuation of fans in the event of an emergency”. Not to be facetious or anything, but wouldn’t having everyone already stood up allow for an easier evacuation in the event of an emergency?

Good point, I had in my head Man United had done similar to the RS, but they actually give 3,000.

The Safety Advisory Group decision making is often flawed. Like when Arsenal conveniently cut the allocation for all the big clubs playing them in the Cup - the RS, Spurs, ourselves, but were happy to let the likes of Coventry have the full 9,000.

The ladder has always been easy to get on but you have to do a season or two of crap games to get the hot tickets, to be honest i can see the criteria drop a bit if our form dips around Feb, apart from Spurs (that will be super high) 5 out of the last 6 games will be easier tickets to get
