At the risk of being incredibly thick, it says “ballot entry”. Luckily we’re in Cat 1, but I thought they said the ballot was for Cat 3?

Is that all we do for now and then the Villa ticket office super-computer sorts out which Fan ID’s go into which category?

Then we can only use the same phone for using the UEFA portal, so I’d have two tickets for me and my lad on my phone? No pressure there then!

I think you’ve got that spot on CT.

Conference League final is in a bigger stadium then this one. The trouble is they go all around Europe and some stadiums are bigger then others. Bilbao for last seasons final was 50k+. Next seasons CL final is 70k so we should have enought tickets for that one.

I'd have much preferred a good old fashioned physical queue.

Deckchairs, sleeping bags and thermos flasks along Trinity Road

I sit with my brother amd mate. I have applied for the ballot , one ticket each using the three client references(3 in total). Should I have applied (or would it let me) for 3 tickets against each client references ?

No as this ballot with the Villa is about access codes.

I have used mine as a Group 1 and two other season ticket holders in the family who are at group 3 for example. I'll get a code Monday, the other 2 will go in the ballot.

That code let's me access the UEFA ticket portal so I can get my ticket. If for example there were 4 of us in Group 1 on Monday  then even though you cannot choose where you sit, you can get groups of 6 seats together.

How do we think tickets will be distributed once purchased? UEFA app?

It is what they stated in that link. All you are getting is a code to enter into the UEFA ticket app to get your ticket to appear. And if in the ballot, one to enter in the UEFA web page to get a ticket ballot entry.

I booked the STN-SAW 00.20 flight back in February for £100.00.  Absolutely made up.  If anyone else is on my flight it would be great to swap details and meet at STN for a coffee.

You can fly into Sofia for about £120 return from London and get the Flexibus to Istanbul.

It’s worth checking out Luton to Plovdiv flights on wizzair as they still seem pretty cheap that week. Plovdiv is a bit closer than Sofia to Istanbul and is a very underrated city.

Sorry, it's quite clear. I mustn't have read that bit.

I went to Lille away and bought tickets for all the home games so normally that would be eight games but I stayed away from the Maccabi game so I'm assuming I'll be in the ballot for the third group.

I suppose I'll know when my unique code arrives, or not.

It won’t let me register just seeing a greyed out coming soon button. Anyone else having the same issue?
