2011 Changes to Official Membership Scheme

Important 2011-12 ticket news

Priority Ticketing Period for LFC Official Members

Members will be able to buy their Barclays Premier League home tickets for 2011-2012 season in two sales periods. All the pre-Christmas games will go on sale in July 2011 and the post Christmas games in November 2011.

Members will have the choice to buy individual matches or up to all the games in the sales period, subject to availability. The members' sale will remain open until all tickets have been sold or 21 days before each fixture.

Any remaining tickets will be made available through Late Availability.

The Club will also continue to operate its pre requisite criteria for Category A and B games, which ensures that half of all tickets in the members' sale period will be dependent on the number of games a member has attended during the 2010-2011 season.

More details on the dates of sale will be available on www.liverpoolfc.tv once the 2011-2012 fixtures have been confirmed.

Expansion of the Auto Cup Scheme for LFC Official Members

This season we will be inviting Official Members to join the Auto Cup Scheme. This change was the result of supporter research during the 2010-11 season. Whilst Season Ticket holders will still enjoy priority access to the Auto Cup Scheme during their Season Ticket renewal period, the remaining available seats will be made accessible to Members.

The Club still expects a number of tickets to be available on a match by match basis in this season's Cup competitions. The actual number available will depend on the allocations taken up by the opposing clubs and the number of tickets we have to make available to the governing bodies.

The available tickets will be allocated based on previous attendance history and will be offered to Season Ticket holders first. As numbers will be limited, it is highly recommended that supporters take the opportunity to join the Auto Cup Scheme during the summer.

Ticket Refunds

Following an operational review and supporter feedback, the Club has amended its refund policy. Any returns must now be confirmed back with the Club no later than 14 days before the match.  In the event of a postponed fixture, the Club undertakes to publish prominently, on www.liverpoolfc.tv, the refund and returns policy allowing supporters time to make new arrangements.  Full details can be found in the 2011-12 Ticket Terms & Conditions.

Child Ticket Prices

In order to make coming to matches more affordable for families, LFC has reduced the price of a Child ticket by up to £8 to actively encourage the next generation of supporters. Child tickets are available in the Anfield Road Upper Tier section of the stadium.

Booking Fees

As part of our improved benefits package for LFC Official Members for 2011-12 season, booking fees will be removed for supporters that purchase tickets during the members' sale period. Those supporters on the Auto Cup Scheme will continue to be exempt from booking fees for home Cup games (supporters who purchase additional tickets outside of the scheme will be subject to booking fees). All other tickets bought via Late Availability or for Cup games outside of the Auto Cup Scheme will incur a flat £2.50 per ticket booking fee.

Good to hear.

Don't know if I'm a fan of tickets going on sale that early to be honest. Looks like I'm gonna go to some after Christmas then!

Ticket touts dream, what normal supporter can afford to pay up front for several games at one time?what a terrible idea.

My and my bro's membership has just expired will I be okay to renew end of the month, wont lose my fancard history or anything will I??

I understand what you're saying but for me it's a better way of doing it.  At least I can plan ahead now (taking time off work) and book in advance.

I think you'll be ok mate once you renew.

Definitely good and bad things about this. Don't think I will really be able to afford five or six games all at once, but I suppose it would make it easier with worh and everything with booking days off etc.

What's this thing with adult and International fans? As far as I understand it, International fans can't buy tickets through the members sale. But can I become an adult member living in Belgium? Or is my only option International fan membership?

Can understand the advantage for the club - but yes it will be a big upfront payment.

HOWEVER (you knew there was one coming) - this is exactly the same principle under which a season ticket operates. Pay for ALL your games at the start of the season.

Clearly the club are hoping to increase capacity, and thus have more season ticket holders, so if a few more individuals get used to this system of operating then the transition to a bigger capacity should be more beneficial for the club.

I don't think anybody can ever really plan ahead months in advance for a football game 100%.  You may have heard of this thing called Sky Television...

True JD, I was meaning Saturday games as I work on Saturdays but I'd still be able to go if the game was moved to a Sunday or Monday once I had a ticket.

Me and me old man have about 15 home credits from last season, which essentially means with these new buying rules we're on half season tickets.

Will do me that!

Especially if we can choose what part's of the stadium we want them in...would allow more regular match day go'ers to get in The Kop and make some noise...hopefully.

I think this will allow me to go to more games, providing I save up to get a few lots of tickets at once.

Pretty disappointed to only manage a couple this season (actually probably a narrow miss considering Roy) but for me the travel is the most expensive bit so knowing much further in advance will be ideal.

Problem is Sky changing fixtures but overall probably an improvement on the current situation personally.

Just gonna buy them all, whack them on my LFC credit card. Me dads doing the same. Best way. Get those reward points. Not sure what they're for though.

Just got myself an Official Membership, it was very easy to do, my pocket is £29.99 lighter though, hopefully will be a tiny bit easier to get tickets next season.

Just asked you this question in another thread 

Being a member makes it easy as to get tickets! Ive never missed a home game I wanted to go to.

I'm liking the sound of this 

How many home prem games did you go to last season LFC-LCFC?

Think I ended up going to 14 in the Prem.

I've just renewed my membership but only went to one Europa game last season.

Do Premier League games from last season carry over, therefore reducing my chances of getting a ticket next season?

That's pretty good, hope I'm as lucky next season.

I think paying for a lump of games is a bad idea!

I mean when the games get moved to a Monday night, or a Sunday afternoon, its just hassle!
I was used to paying for the games as they came around, kinda skint from all them games last season, and just paid off my holiday!

These are good changes ,just like having half season tickets!!

I didnt miss any home game last season plus went some  aways 7 I think so I should be ok

Its the ones that get moved to a monday that nackers me up as well you always got the option to send them back to the club though.

I asked that question today and yes they do.

anyone know when there are releasing the first set of tickets as not renewed my membership yet

When I spoke to them to renew my membership they said announcement will be made at the end of June so now that the fixtures are out, presume it will be anytime.

July for first batch of 9 and second batch in November

Yet another outrageous idea from the club.  How do they expect the average man to afford to pay for 8+ tickets all in one go 

So not only do we have to pay £30 for the privilege of getting a ticket, we now have to spend £500+ all in one go!!!!

Another fine example of the club fleecing the average fan

Bit like a season ticket then. Or half a season ticket.

Wonder what the quota will be from last season?

Has everyone received their blankety blank chequebook and pen yet?

£29.99 very well spent.

</sarcasm>

Still waiting on mine  Come on Terry, get a move on, I want my blankety blank chequebook and pen 

wonder if this is a marketing ploy/research for where the owners want to go with the new stadium? it seems to follow the season ticket list shake up.. probably going to see true demand to help them make the decision on what to do with the increase in capacity/new ground

do we know yet what the level is for last seasons games etc?
is the date confirmed as Monday 11th of july for when tickets are becoming available?

Yes, 11th July they are on sale but they've not announced the quota yet, maybe tomorrow?

Got mine the other day. I wasn't expecting anything as mine was an automatic renewal.

Yes so was mine, but they do still send something every year.

and mine... nice little book to flick through on holiday though

Yeah I'm well happy with the book you get it looks a good read and the pen could be a serious weapon, its practically heavier than the book. Not that i'm planning an attack on anyone or anything.

Signed up last night and can't wait for my pen, it's like the night before Xmas when you have to force yourself to sleep because if you don't you know santa won't come!

I just have to email them later to ask them to update my surname as funnily enough it is not 10334819! (fan card)

Received my Membership Package in the post today in a nice smart box with a lovely pen and book.

Just wondering. Buying this is essential to getting tickets isn't it? My friend is looking to buy one and start going to games.

How many tickets can you get per membership? He is a big liverpool fan and is from Swansea and wants to treat his brothers to the Liverpool vs Swansea. He wants to get 3 tickets.

Is one membership enough?

I think League games are one ticket per membership.

I'm afraid it is mate but I think cup games are different. I got two for Europa League last season with my membership

This page will help you out

Cheers for the help mate. Was specifically for the Swansea game though.

Did anyone purchase the International Membership that is being offered?

just looking on the website.. it looks like the following for those who have not seen

all tickets being made available to members for the first block of tickets are :
Mon 12th July to Tues 13th July if you have 13 or more games on your fan card from last season
Then on sale on Thursday 14th July - Friday 15th July for all other members subject to any tickets left

only exceptions seem to be man utd / man city the second batch of sales still is subject to 7 games on the fan card

and wolves / swansea is just tues 12th - weds 13th no restrictions..

How long does it take for the Membership pack to arrive, generally?

I bought the official membership for the first time on the 12th of October.

I don't know really understand how it works but last year, when I managed to buy tickets to a game, I had never bought the membership before but I somehow had a "membership number" for signing up on the official website a long time ago.

Always pros and cons to a system. For me I dont like it because i cant book too far in advance. I prefer the old way where you can select the games you want. When i want to buy tickets this year every game is sold out 

Tickets for the second half of the season become available from 7th November

Let the scramble begin again

How long until you get your member-id after you pay? Cuz if I buy a membership tomorrow, will i be able to buy tickets next week or do I have to wait a few weeks?

It should be there within a week... Shouldn't take long... They will ship it as soon as you buy

As soon as you have your membership number... Which they should confirm on an e mail after you have paid you will be able to buy tickets with the membership number

Well, I live in Belgium and had to wait a few weeks to receive the package. It's for a friend. We want to get a game in the second part of the season. But if you receive a mail with the necessary data rightaway its okay! I forgot how and when i received what last june.

Thanks!
