[Albion] Are you going to Rome? + ticket allocation / purchase discussion!

[Simster]

From Jenny Gower's comments today, they are apparently still waiting on information from Roma...

So, f*** knows. It is getting a bit f***ing ridiculous though.

I get the feeling (based on very little really) Roma are a bit of a shambles.

But we should have had 5,000 tickets sent to the club within 24 hours of the draw being made. How hard can that have been? It's not a secret that our club is very well run and we'd have filled our allocation. Instead we've only got 3,500 and some of the more deserving cases aren't going to be able to go because they won't have time to make plans after finding they qualify for a ticket.

We don’t know we’ve only got 3,500 though!

I have heard delegates from the club are in Rome today.
Might have some conclusive ticket news later on this aftenroon I would hope.

I thought we did, but it wouldn't surprise me if what you say is right and Roma are dithering over the allocation size too. I suspect they are a bit of a shambles by the standards we'd expect in UK/Germany/Netherlands.

It is going to get to the point though, where regardless of how many tickets there are, there will be deserving / eligible fans who just can't go because it will be too late to sort out time off work, childcare, etc, etc.

I've heard 3,400 from somewhere or other. Can't recall now.

Celtic had 3,600 for Lazio (same stadium) in November just gone.

Leicester had 5,000 for Roma in May 22.

Celtic had that for security reasons and were moved into the curva.

The normal away end is fenced in, holds 5k and is only ever occupied by visiting fans. Look at the pics of Servette fans there - only 700/800 but still occupying the visitors section with 4k empty seats around them.

Roma have already started selling tickets for this & will move onto 'phase 2' of their ticket sales at 4pm this afternoon.
Makes the delay on away tickets especially annoying as they must be selling home tickets with an away allocation in mind.
Hopefully some info by the end of the day!

Roma sells out every home game in recent years and this doesn’t affect the away teams coming.
The out come of the tickets for away fans will depend on the agreed away % given by your club for Roma Fans. There is a minimum by uefa rules and the rest will depend on what Rome gets in Brighton.
You should be looking at about 4-4,500
When I worked with Leicester here they only got their ticket numbers 7days before the game and when I brought to Naples the ticket pick-up location and time was only revealed 2 days before match day.

They have 3 phases of sales for home fans. 1. STH, 2. Cup STH. and 3. General Sale. In Phase 3 (from 4.00pm Thursday) each fan can buy up to 4 tickets.

"AWAY Sector entrances 50-52. Fans born in the United Kingdom are not allowed to purchase the local sectors through official AS Roma channels."

"Food items such as sandwiches and pizza are permitted but drinks in bottles or other containers are not."

Do you know about small bags

Do you know about small bags

Can't see the usual reference to allowed bag size on FAQs. Definitely no "luggage" allowed or anywhere to store it.
