[Albion] Roma tickets - number remaining tier to tier

[Wes Tupper]

I can't see that option on the LH website and not finding any info on whether could call and do it

From Lufthansa’s terms and conditions:

“Name changes: names can be changed easily and free of charge before the tickets have been issued. However, name changes to be made after the tickets have been issued are only possible for a fee of 100 euros per passenger name to be changed. Name corrections (e.g. upon marriage) are, however, permissible without charge even after tickets have been issued.”

No luck. Hoping to get lucky with returns, but the Print at Home element makes it more dicey in terms of getting access to the ticket itself if I get lucky in a few days.

Seemingly the only one of my group and other people I know travelling who didn't get a ticket. Not going to risk the home end as doesn't seem worth the risk to my own safety if getting outed at any point, so if I don't get lucky will definitely be up for meeting any fellow ticketless NSCer's somewhere to watch the game (whether at a bar or somewhere a bit more civilised with food that is less likely to be targeted!).

Just going to make the most of going to a new city and being around mates as much as I can and not get too depressed about the situation if I don't end up at the game. Is the risk I took as MA+, but is slightly bittersweet knowing the allocation some other english clubs have had there

There will almost certainly be some.

I'll keep a tab open on the ticketing site and if I spy any, I'll pop them in my basket and alert via this thread.

Yeah, I called LH and they said no changes of passenger, but I can rebook flight dates

As I’m flying via Frankfurt, I wonder what the chances of getting into Freiburg are?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Sorry offtopic again but there was a time when people who joined for membership were automatically added to the ST queue, regardless of whether they ever intended to buy a ST

Exactly what we did, it was the main reason we took the membership, go get back in basically

 

[KennyH27]

How many people already set to travel without match tickets? I’ve got a friend who might need some company while I watch the match I’m STH, they’re Albion+

Maybe this is going to need a whole new thread, dependent on numbers, but any suggestions for a central City bar that’s friendly for away fans and might have a gathering of Albion fans?

Exactly what i’ll be looking for
Albion+, ticketless, but looking forward to enjoying the city

 

[The original gezza]

I am desperately seeking a ticket for my brother he is an Albion + member but was too late today.
If i cannot find a ticket someone can take mine for face value as we are both flying together to Milan then training down.

You can’t transfer the match tickets

 

[The original gezza]

Just had an email i can return mine (if required) to ticket office by 10am Monday then they will re sell.

You would probably need to seek out the most dodgy looking steward you can find if you are going for the bribe. Definitely not the Colin of the group.

The steward on the VIPs car park entrance at Pride Park years back was easily 'purchased' when asking where we could park. After the standard "can't park ere mate" a fiver into his greasy palms sealed the deal.

 

[drew]

You think that, but we'll all be huddled in the middle based on Leicester fan experiences!

"In the ground, you will get pelted with flares, smoke bombs, lighters, coins etc, it’s Italian culture, it will happen and the police won’t attempt to stop it so it will go on all game,"

"Sit in the middle of the away end if you don’t want batteries, bottles, flares and coins thrown at you all night. I saw many walking wounded from this."

Will we be allowed to collect all the lighters and then return them to the Roma fans on the 14th?

 

[East Staffs Gull]

For those without tickets, be aware that those with tickets who find themselves unable to attend have until 10.00am on Monday 4 March to inform the club. Expect a couple of dozen or so tickets to become available later on Monday.

Don't give your ticket to anyone else, even if it feels like you're doing the right thing. You risk a ban from all Albion games and a loyalty point deduction.

My suggestion is continue as you seem to be, and just keep looking - all the time.

If you reach a point where you decide you're not going, even on the day of the game itself, contact the club and tell them - they'll be able to re-sell the ticket to someone else hopefully.

I think it's fair generally but I do think that a member who manages to go to most away games (not a category I'd put myself into to be clear) should be at least level with a STH who rarely if ever goes to an away.

Yeah I kind if agree, but the STH edged them out.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

the fair system only IS fair, if they have ID checks!

Otherwise you just have people sat in Tier 1, buying a ticket for every single game in perpetuity - and just passing on/ selling on the ones they can’t or don’t want, to go to. Protecting their position at the top regardless of how often they actually attend, and allowing people without the earned points to use ’their’ tickets.

all of this is exactly the situation that exists at a few of the biggest clubs, and is a source of much anger amongst their fan bases.

We do have ID checks, but rightfully not everyone is checked. Bloody nause.

At the end of the day, a STH takes priority of those people because their financial commitment is up front and they take the financial risk of a shite season. That's the difference.

 

[Simster]

Hahah class, think I'm gonna risk it and go home end, find a steward who looks like a nice person and offer em 60 euro to escort me to the away end.

Will I get told to f*** off? Maybe, worth a shot though I wanna sing

Not a problem getting told No.

Bit of a problem if they throw you out.

This is an interesting dilemma but I'm speaking from a position of having booked my flights and expecting to be in it myself.

Now i got lucky and got an away ticket, but was going to do exactly this. Giacomo, my
Italian former colleague/friend in London who is an avid Roma fan and member said this:

"In case you don’t [get an away ticket] , aim for “tribuna monte mario”, ideally those blocks which are close enough to the away section.
It’s still a home side but pretty relaxed
Also you don’t have to wait 1 hour before leaving the stadium"

I would definitely feel comfortable taking his advice as he's a great bloke. Take your chances trying to bribe a steward once there if you feel the need, but it sounds like you probably wouldn't. But if you do, we'll if it was me I absolutely would. Not sure the threat of being thrown out is realistic if you're behaving yourself, I have a bit more faith in humanity than to assume others are looking for reason to ruin your day.

I AM IN!

A return popped up about 15 minutes ago and a mate who was periodically checking the website pounced on it. Imagine more will continue to turn up as the deadline for returns closes in 15mins, so definitely keep checking today for them.

Nice one.

Only a 25 minute walk to the ground for you, too.

It feels a bit like fate that having had this username on here (based on a joke about my goalkeeping ability when at high school) since I was about 15/16 years old, that our first season in Europe actually takes me to the Vatican for the first time in my life
