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

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.

If you bought the Maccabi ticket but didn't go, I suspect they might count it due to them being fine for stewards not to go. If you didn't buy one or resold it I think you might in the third.

I didn't sell it on. It was part of the four game bundle. And the thing with the stewards had crossed my mind as well.

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.

Registered this morning and I think it said those in Categories 1 and 2 are guaranteed a ticket.  I'm category 3 as I went to all tje home games, but not an away one, so will be in the ballot.  Can't complain about the categories to be honest as they seem fair, just a shame it's not at a bigger ground so we could have had a bigger allocation.

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.
Looks like a 7 hour bus journey though.

They’ve definitely counted the Maccabi tickets as my mate purchased them but didn’t go and is in the ballot.

I dont understand why they dont show it at the stadium - spurs did last year.  Feels like a real opportunity missed.  3.5k x £5 - think one way or another they could do 10 times that.

The club really should have arranged something inside VP. Did it occur to them ? Is there some logistical reason to prevent this ? For the many tens of thousands of us who are unable to go to Istanbul, watching it inside the ground is far preferable to if you have it on TV at home, any pub anywhere, or any fanzone which may (although I doubt it) get set up somewhere else around the city.
