Sorry, maybe a stupid question, but how do you check how many loyalty points one of your friends and family have? I'm the main login guy so can find mine but can't spot the other 3? Strangely, 3 out of my 4 have more than 8,000 points but my eldest son doesn't!?
TIA

Did those shenanigans get confirmed? Previous "debate" on it was closed down pretty quickly which never looks good. If it's a lie, hold it up to the light so everyone can see it for what it is.

I think that only each individual can check their own points by logging in.

If you add other people onto friends and family you can check their points total by inputting their clarets number.

Got mine.
No mention yet about where in Aberdeen the tickets can be collected. Presumably the ticket office at Pittodrie?
The guidelines say you have to provide a driving licence or passport with an address matching your Clarets Number when collecting your ticket. However, passports do not include your address so I think it'll be safer taking your driving licence.

You'll pick up your tickets at the ticket office. I'll be on hand on the day to make sure everyone gets theirs. But get there early because the queue will be long and SLOW.

Hi Leisure!
Flying to Edinburgh on the Wednesday, trains to and from Aberdeen before taking the plane back out from Edinburgh on Friday morning.
Do you know any spots Clarets will be meeting up on the Wednesday night?
Hope to see you for a pint!

It's Beziers to Edinburgh.
In my head the plane will be packed with fellow minded Clarets, all wearing colours scarves etc ready for their 'European' tour.

If (and I know it’s a big if) there is some left after Saturday and the 5000pts threshold, will they be on general sale or are they further reducing the threshold required?

Go onto the BFC webiste and into the loyalty points page.
There is a section for adding friends and family.
If you put in a clarets number of your friends or family and register them it will let you view their points.
Or it always has done up to yesterday.

No Foundation tickets available, UEFA apparently.
They won't say how fast they are going today but suggest they will all go tomorrow.
I can buy mine tomorrow with my 7600 points and my son with 6400 can have his on Friday, if there are any left. We won't be able to sit together or do a ticket swap. Unless I wait to Friday and buy both then, though that seems an unlikely possibility.
If I get mine tomorrow and there are none left on Friday they won't take my ticket back or transfer it to anyone else. So my son cannot go on his own with my ticket.
The Points discrepancy arises because when I buy extra home tickets for his friends they have gone onto my account rather than his, leaving us either side of the 7000 boundary. He has been a continuous ST Holder since 2004, doesn't miss a game.
I'm cancelling Foundation membership as I apparently get no benefit from it apart from an overcrowded bar.
Great for the fans, this. So pleased UEFA acts in our interests.

The way the tickets have been allocated 8000, 7000, 6000 points etc. is purely down to BFC, no one else.

Ticket booked, can't wait but was expecting to have to give extra information at the booking stage but was just the same as a usual away game, sure it said on the website. UTC

No foundations and no shareholders is purely club driven.
They needed tickets for their friends and that was the consequence!

In UEFA competitions each club has the option of taking up to 200 "VIP" tickets (i.e in the Main Stand) in addition to the usual away allocation. Usually the club would use these for staff, players families etc. In the past Aberdeen have included a ticket for this part for those fans who travel to the game on the team flight.
So players family etc. may not be coming off your 2200.
