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

[Bozza]

Agreed. Even an update with the number of pre reg and why we are waiting would be nice

The club have been in negotiations with both Roma and the local police today. News is "imminent".

Tonight imminent? 22:00 update

 

[SeanInRome]

The club are normally spot on with communication, but this has been unusually poor.

Trust me,after years of living in Rome and bringing thousands of fans to stadiums the lack of information you have right now has nothing to do with your club.
I’ve seen some British clubs only getting information from the Italian side the Monday before a Wednesday kickoff.
You’re all playing in Europe and have to understand this is anew and completely different set-up than the away trip up to Manchester or Newcastle.

Whoa, that's a bucket of cold water. I'm flying in to the UK from Montréal on the 7th, but willing to leave a few days earlier to catch a plane from Stansted to Rome if I'm allotted a ticket. If the notice doesn't arrive before end of week, though, fuggedaboudit.

[Scoffers]

Sadly I'm away on business, bad timing, at least I won't miss the home leg!

 

[Bozza]

It won't be 5,000 tickets.

 

[Tarpon]

It won't be 5,000 tickets.

'Sake. Was naively hopeful the delays were for positive reasons rather than (apparently) Italian incompetence.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

It won't be 5,000 tickets.

Is that due to lack of demand or lack of supply?

 

[Wallace]

FFS, why not? The pen hold 5,000, other English clubs have been allocated 5,000. Typical Barber, all he cares about is 1901ers

 

[Napper]

we wouldnt sell 5k anyway

at a push 3,600 about right

 

[RenboSlice]

Do you actually know this or are you just speculating?

Don’t be a twat. f*** all to do with Barber, if Roma don’t want to give us more than the mandatory 5%

 

[Bozza]

Do you actually know this or are you just speculating?

I know this.

 

[The original gezza]

When are tickets going to go on sale, anyone know ?

 

[RenboSlice]

I know this.

How?

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Wont be 5000. Flights already sold out and those that are left are very expensive and routes not at all straight forward. I think 3500 more realistic and many people who want one will be successful

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Yeah I’m going to Rome that day.

…..a feckin roam around Brighton.


[I’ll get my coat]

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Indeed, this isn’t Amsterdam. I’d certainly be confident that anyone that has booked a flight, provided they are at least an Albion + member will get one.

 

[Bozza]

How?

Mind-reading.

 

[peterward]

The draw was only 4 days ago and they’ve already told anyone with 301 points they are guaranteed a ticket. Pretty sure they’ll be doing all they can to get things sorted but reliance on other parties is going to impact what they can and can’t do.

That could've been communicated, it hasn't.
