Booooo! That's annoyingly and unnecessarily early given everyone has Christmas costs to deal with this month.

It's 86 days away - that's longer than the close season in the summer!
Yep it's crazileee early. Nice of the club to let us season tickerters know in such timely fashion. In the rush that is Christmas/New year for many, there will be many that don't know about this.

I know everyone immediately looks straight to their own situation and how it affects them directly.

That's why you need someone at the club overseeing the process and the priority windows to ensure fairness.

I bought a 3-game EL group package for myself and my daughter. And if I have understood this right, there I'd absolutely no benefit for that at all for the last 16, after 1901 and STHs are taken care of. As Albion Plus members we have been lumped in with everyone that has 1 point or more, neither of us having 188 (which seems very high).

Like the people highlighting the disappearance of an U18 price band, this may not affect loads of people. But for the people it does affect, it doesn't seem right.

Why can't they just say Albion Plus 188 points OR a 3-game group package? I think that's fair.

Why is there no U18 prices for zone E? Not sure I can justify paying £112 for me and my 12 year old to watch 1 game.
Isn't Zone E WSL central?

If so, from what I recall, that has never had u18 pricing for any games at all - it's always been sold at a single price point.

Anyone that goes 2 whole weeks without reading their emails (bound to be one tomorrow telling us sames are open) or looking at the club website (knowing tickets will almost certainly be going on sale for other games in the period) will only have themselves to blame I would think

Surely the main questions fans wanna know is 1. whats the ko time as 5.45pm makes a huge difference to 8pm if working for example 2. will trains be running
Based on 1 its a gamble perhaps for some and annoying not knowing WHEN the ko time will be confirmed

This is what I was thinking too. Surely the kickoff will be at 8:00pm?

Last season in the Europa League, when Arsenal were in the same position, they played the second-leg (against Sporting CP) at 8:00pm. Therefore, I think that there must be a good chance (90%) that our match will also start at 8:00pm.

This will not be finalised until we know who is playing who (23.02.24), but ALMOST certainly it will be 8pm.

The English teams only very rarely get 5.45pm kick offs, historically. Given the time differences, it makes far more sense for the clubs in central / Eastern Europe to take the bulk of those kick off slots. Istanbul is 3 hours ahead of us. Baku is 4 hours. Give Qarabag the later kick off slot, and the game is finishing at 2AM local time!

The club does so much right , but when they mess up it’s massive why not wait till mid jan to end of jan for season ticket holders
I think that is an over statement to say its a massive mess up.

I must admit I was surprised at their timing though on this. 6 days before Christmas is odd. An announcement in January to buy by end of January was what I expected. Feel sorry for those with budgets being stretched to their limit.

I can only imagine that the club have very good reasons for this approach and logistically this was their only option?

Agree with that - especially as tickets are not cheap (unlike the three game package where prices were IMO fantastic value)

anyone know how ko times get arranged, surely home club decides? could be a bit rushed for workers and school kids at 5.45pm ko if you subsequently cant go can they go on ticket exchange? assume club will go with digital and paper printed option as per previous Euro games?
