Sydney .
I mean the only thing I believe that could get us more tickets is that Brighton offer AEK 10% and we get offered 10% back, same with all the clubs. I imagine the negotiations is what is keeping the on sale dates from being published.
That bird has surely flown though hasn’t it as Home tickets are already being sold in half of the South.

Will be too late offering AEK 10% given we're already selling home tickets for half of the south stand.

I think there'll be an announcement about Marseille tickets in next few days. I've seen some people suggest that pretty much anyone with a ST will be fine and others believing tickets will be gone in T2.

I guess it really is hard to call. Even with the registrations, while a lot will be genuine, a lot will be people dropping their name in on the off chance they may go
That Answers that question then. Didn’t know that, I can’t see us, giving more than 5% to anyone then.

If you can get tickets for Brentford and Bournemouth in the first bracket, then I think you’ll be fine, but this is all my opinion of course.
I can't, and that's fair enough, I don't put in the hard yards for away games that a lot of other people do. I'd even be willing to sit in the home end if that's even possible somehow.

I wouldn’t have much hope for Athens. 1,500 allocation, and I reckon 1,500 people in the top points bracket will have already booked accommodation and travel. People I know who travel home and away most weeks, could very possibly miss out.
Perhaps, but I don't think it is as likely as you think.
You would have to be committed to travelling to Athens, considering the cost of transport and possible violence, as well as not having to work on the 30th of November.
I doubt that 1,500 have already booked for this trip, without ticket confirmation, and even afterwards I would think it would even be available for MyAlbion Members.

EDIT: And I think it will be the same with Marseille.

I seriously hope you're right!

“We were in the queue for over an hour and couldn't move.”

This is a quote from an England Rugby fan on last night’s experience at the Velodrome. Might be worth getting to the stadium super early next month.

In general the rugby World Cup has been awful off field. Stadium in Bordeaux ran out of drinks in 36 degree hit. Thousands missed kick off in Marseille

The other thing to remember is that players and staff tickets don’t come out of our allocation like they do for Premier league games. I believe they get an allocation of up to 200 in another area.

But, on the other hand, we get 5% of the tickets after EUFA and away staff have been allocated.

For the football most fans will be Marseille regulars.

They will only have the 3,000 BHA fans that don't know what they're doing. Not a full stadium of noobies.

Confused as to whether you are being serious or some kind of attempt at a joke?

No way will the Albion be passing on tickets to re-sellers so I cant see any other way an away ticket could come on to market at the ground than this- Albion fan collects their ticket with photo ID in city centre, gets escorted bus to Velodrome, sells to reseller there who then makes his profit, with presumably the fan then twiddling his/her thumbs till match finishes, and then gets escorted bus back into city centre. Oh and all within a few hours before kick off.

No you cant be serious?!
I have an old work colleague who has offered me a seat with him in the main stand

Am I being stupid or are the tickets not out yet? I am already booked up but I know people who are waiting to make sure they get a ticket and I don't really see a reason as to why they aren't on sale? Chelsea away day is already up and running and that draw was only 2 days before!

Bit different having to organise logistics with a team in another country who you've never had dealings with before

Believe the club had a recce out to Marseille on Wednesday, so they could have been speaking to Marseille about ticket allocations at that time. These things do take time, especially when Albion have not travelled or played in this stadium before.

Bit demanding ! They will be ready when they are ready.

I think this was the whole point of the pre Reg stuff so they you can commit.

All of this is very frustrating. I'm top tier and have never failed to get tickets for away games. I also go to most, but not all, away games. I intend going to every Euro game but don't want to spend £100's on flights and hotel if I cant get a ticket. It would really help if the club ended their silence on tickets and gave a hint as to LP's needed to guarantee a ticket.
I’m top tier and bought flights and hotel as soon as the fixtures were confirmed. Why wouldn’t you if you’re top tier?
