UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[VillaTim]

The tickets are issued in Poland. The kicker is people who will buy with no intention of going to keep a record up. It would be criminal if we had 100’s of empty seats because of that and people in bars outside the stadium.

that's what i was alluding to .
We already know loads of the "19 a season away games group" buy tickets to every game and don't always go but do it to keep up their booking history

But as has been said that’s not how European aways work as you physically have to pick the ticket up, if you don’t then it doesn’t count to your booking history. Come on this isn’t rocket science.

the question was , what is the deterrent and penalty to them booking the tickets , not going and denying another fan a ticket . (i get they have to pick them up , i get they don't count towards booking history )

You’ve just answered your own question.

what is the penalty ? Hopefully a lengthy ban from buying tickets

I note that Almaar are top of the Eredivisie League after the first three games.  Not sure who they've played but am looking forward to watching the game against us in a couple of weeks.

They beat Vitesse A 2-0 , the other 2 teams i have literally never heard of (Go Ahead Eagles was one of them ??)

Let's hope we don't hear them mentioned again this weekend.

the other team was - RKC Waalwijk, yeah me neither

The only people who will buy tickets and not attend the game in Warsaw would be those who get arrested for too much arm waving or those that cannot handle their ale, usually they are in the same sphere. Nobody is buying a ticket that they won't use, its utterly pointless.

[Clampy]

Ads kind of beat me to it. The detterent is that they would be wasting their money doing something which won't benefit them.

Unless they are retarded and don't read the small print

Oof!

My prediction for tickets is that they'll sell out pretty sharpish on Thursday when they hit general ST holders.

That kind of insult is best left in the eighties.

Pretty sure one person could pick up several tickets in Edinburgh.

[VillaTim]

Yeah agree I think it's going to ST holders , I can't find any reasonable price flights so I'm out . Probably can't afford 2 days annual leave either in fairness

How can 1 person pick up several tickets ? I thought it was ID required for every single ticket ?

Sure if you have a lead booker then they can collect for their family.  All my ids are linked..

So the lead booker could collect the tickets and preserve anyone linked to their account and pass the other tickets on ? Flawed if so

I rarely, if ever, read the small print.

So in the event someone doesn't read the finer details and book tickets and don't go , do they go unpunished? As they could be denying another fan a ticket , that fan may even be in Warsaw making do with watching in a bar. Whereas the fan booking the ticket to keep up the booking history (they didn't read the small print) gets to carry on as usual . Then there is the lead booker angle now too.
