      European ticket allocation a joke
      Apr 14, 2007 10:03:23 pm
      European ticket allocation for Liverpool Football Club away matches.

      Since the group stages, upto and including the Chelsea Semi Final at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool have been awarded just 9,545 tickets for supporters.
      This is broken down to :-

      Barcalona   4,817 tickets   capacity  approx  98,600
      PSV          1,625 tickets   capacity  approx  35,000
      Chelsea     3,103 tickets   capacity  approx  42,055

      Just wondering if anybody knows if there is a minimum amount they have to allocate for a European fixture, ie FA Cup matches have to allocate 10% of the capacity to the away fans.
      Realistly, the above figures are a complete joke and insult to Liverpool, especially when Liverpool offer approx the 10% of the capacity to the visitors.

      Look at the allocation for a European 1/4 final  1,625, and the semi final 3,103. These figures relate to approx 5% of the capacity. No where near enough for any team, let alone Liverpool and especially in Europe's premier show piece cup competition.

      If / when we get to Athens, I've heard of a figure of 18,000 tickets allocated. That relates to 25% of the capacity.
      Yet again coporate fans win again.

      Anyone else feel shortchanged by this ?

      This is a F***ing joke, with stadiums that size especially barca's we should defo be allocated more tickets and with it being the CL the biggest competion in the world at least 30% should be allocated to the away fans for each game.

      What you heard about 18000 for the final is true, even worse it's less then that : Finalists favoured
      The Olympic Stadium's capacity will be 63,800 for the showpiece. More than 50 per cent of the seats will be reserved for the supporters of the two finalists; with each club able to take up to 17,000 tickets and distribute these directly to its supporters. The remaining tickets will be allocated to the European football family, comprising UEFA, the local organising committee, national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters.
      This is a passage taken from the UEFA official website here is the link..http://www.uefa.com/competitions/ucl/ticketing/newsid=503059.html

      Alos interesting to read the terms and conditions : http://www.uefa.com/competitions/ucl/ticketing/newsid=67211.html
