If we lose by a late goal at Pittodrie, we have another 90 mins to rectify it.

I'm in my mid fifties so my days of that are long gone. Just happy to get somewhere with a late licence.

There's still plenty of eye catching scenery on Thursday night too ;It's students night.

With so much interest for the away game at Aberdeen and probably not enough tickets to satisfy demand, has there been any hint at all that the game might be shown on a big screen at Turf Moor?

whentheballmoves · Post by **whentheballmoves** » Mon Jun 25, 2018 12:53 pm

I wonder when the clubs will publish full details?

Which could make things easier as we wouldn’t need “permission” to transmit it back.

Wasn't there supposed to be full details for supporters, according to the post they put up on Friday, "early next week"? Still no sign... I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to know exactly what's what?!

To be fair we only qualified for Europe about 8 weeks ago, so the club haven't had long to come up with a ticketing strategy! Joking aside I've heard a rumour that they're still planning on having a ticket collection system, so no using other people's Clarets numbers.

Could be anything- How about 5000 points + ID to collect your ticket at Turf

whentheballmoves · Post by **whentheballmoves** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:19 pm

This is what I mean, the uncertainty is unnecessary. Hope to hear tomorrow, at the latest!

How about not collection in Burnley.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:24 pm

A lot higher than 5k points to start off with. I.D to collect, no supporters club tickets handed out.

More chance of getting a ticket for a royal wedding.

How would collecting tickets work for those out of town? Surely not.

Loyalclaret · Post by **Loyalclaret** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:53 pm

Maybe they will say it’s UEFA’s rules....which it does not seem to be.

This condition is not being plucked out of the air by posters. Personally think it’s rubbish and unfair if they enforce it.

You'd think not wouldn't you. Especially for any later rounds where time would be tighter. Collection in Aberdeen on the day would make most sense.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:56 pm

If they are going down the collection route the only logical place for picking up is Aberdeen on the Wednesday/Thursday.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 5:03 pm

If you're not happy about ticket collection, you will go mad with the other policies they have put in place.

You have to buy your ticket but no postal option with every lucky applicant needing to pick his ticket up from the Turf with photo ID..

Can't wait to see how our ticketing department mucks this one up!

So what's to stop someone picking their ticket up at Burnley then passing it on to someone else?

Well, I hope not but given the Royston Vasey tendencies the club has shown in previous similar circumstances...

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 5:16 pm

Why would they do that for this one?

If you don't live in Burnley, then you won't get a ticket under that scheme.

Which as you already know, will affect hundreds of fans with well over the required points.

I'm waiting to see what the requirements are. The only fair way is on points, otherwise what is the point of having them?

Nothing, but the people who get them will be Uber fans who travel everywhere or paid a fortune through a supporters package.

I'm assuming you'll be able to buy online as normal but then can collect from Burnley in person at a later date?

Surely the club aren't going to cash in by offering guaranteed tickets if you buy an extortiniate "supporters package"?

There is, I doubt anyone with less than 7k loyalty points will get a ticket.

The club mentions supporter travel packages on the link. Every club have these in Europe.

In theory it is fair but the ID for collection in Burnley is completely vpointless because tickets can still be passed on.

They'll base it on the same method as the Arsenal game. Demand will be the same.

When we played Man U. on Boxing day those tickets sold out online within a couple of hours so I can't see the strategy being anything different.

No issue with loyalty points it's other stuff. I'm sure it will all come out though.

Expected to start at 9k points.

I agree for the more far flung destinations there a decent idea, but hardly necessary for a game in Scotland I would have though? Unless the club are trying to cash in.

Considering season tickets count for the vast majority I can't see many fans having that many points, even if you've gone to every away game.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 5:34 pm

People are going to be annoyed at this whatever happens.

If I get a ticket, great, if I don't then, I'll be a bit peeved but such is life.

Whatever points the top band have (amount of tickets so say 1800) will decide what they set it at.

I've had a season ticket for every season of the scheme and go to about half of the away games. I'm just under 8000 points.

I'm not confident of getting a ticket.

Interestingly I only go to about 4 or 5 away games yet I'm also just under 8000 points, but like you, have had season ticket since the points scheme started so there doesn't seem to be many points given out when buying away tickets, if these points are anything to go by.
