Last time I looked, which was a few years ago now, for an PL away game you had to have bought a ticket for about 15 away games in the league the previous season to qualify.
In other words, you either go to every game and always have done, or are in a group of people who between them go to every game and always have done.

Liverpool is basically a closed shop, they don’t really care who actually gets the tickets so the same people at the top buy a ticket for everything and then move it on.

I know someone down here that manages it, it picks and chooses and sells the rest. Even for home games he arranges for his mates to ‘walk’ someone in with his season ticket to keep the points up

Stupid that one person can buy TEN tickets.

FFS.

Oh I dunno..

Is 70 grandkids a new world record?

A HUYTON family may be heading for the record books after discovering a family tree of staggering proportions.

Thought that was buying for their group (who all need to be eligible).

One ticket per qualifying supporter. So it is a maximum friends and family purchase size of 10 tickets.

Yep, I can confirm that. Nigh on impossible to buy tickets unless you know the right people. It’s a utopian dream for many posters on here.

That is possible, but my point still stands. It doesn't give others a chance to buy tickets.

Support your local team kids. What is the point of supporting Liverpool?

Great idea, I only got an 83 cup final ticket because I had a voucher from the Stoke league match that season

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

but do they get their name written on the tickets for them?

Most kids support who their parents support. For the longest time, we were shit, so growing up in the 90’s for example most kids supported Manchester United or Arsenal and the top sides.

As we maintain our PL status, the next generation will be (hopefully) growing up with a top Albion side, and that’ll get passed down to their kids…

 

[portlock seagull]

going to be a lot of perm hairdo’s at this one…

The Liverpool games for away fans is a closed shop, you can understand why a club like that would introduce ID ticketing but they just don't care touts are galore selling for over face value.

That was true in olden days perhaps but now kids follow players and PlayStation than partisan allegiances. Oh, and multiple clubs domestic and international. Hence why half and half scarves sell so well. It’s shit parenting basically, but then that’s not use in many other values too!

70k fans on waiting list for STH and closed for 5 years.

i know 2 Liverpool STH's where I live, one uses his Dad's and he is in his 90's and never goes, another uses a friends who now resides in Germany and attends one game a season.

If Liverpool started imposing ID checks it would cause mayhem

 

[Husty]

Doesn’t this actually seem like a sensible way to do it, because loyal members who attend all cup games are guaranteed to be in the first wave, irrespective of whether they are season ticket holders?

A much better system than Brighton’s which is based more around money spent at the club rather than loyalty or quality of fan.

But most of those loyal members don’t actually go; they just sell the tickets on.

Yes I agree, the lads that used to go to aways back in the lower league days even championship were a lot better class of fan than now. Went to Arsenal away this season a rare away trip for me. Arrogant twats standing up in front of older fans who then couldn’t see the game because they had to sit. There was a time when we used to look out for each other at aways.

They absolutely should though. There are kids I teach and neighbours who would absolutely love to buy tickets but are locked out of the closed shop.

Just seems exactly the same as the our friends and family scheme with the ability to assign tickets at the checkout.
