12 of us with more money than sense could have a 'sky box' for €1290 each.

We’re looking at this. It says minimum 12, we’ve got 4 of us (possibly a 5th) up for it. If anyone would be looking to split then let me know 👍

I am interested also, however the DM didnt get through I think?
Interesting first post.


DM'd Paulie and JJ-AV, but likewise not sure if the messages got through?

Just looking at last year's season ticket renewal advert and it still says season tickets holders get priority cup tickets as a benefit, how are they getting away with that nonsense still 🤣

Members and STHs with all home games are the same criteria. I've long accepted they don't care about STHs but at least remove that bullshit from next year's advert.

100% agree with you. I’m guaranteed one but won’t be happy if my lad doesn’t get one based on that criteria. I’ll give him my’n if that’s the case but if I’m stood there in Istanbul watching it on a large screen and we win it, I’ll be as happy as anyone else.

Yeah i'm going over regardless as well. Think we need a revamp of ticketing priority, points based maybe that includes all due to the growing demand but this isnt the thread I suppose!

We're in Category 3, so I suspect there's probably a 1 in 4 chance we get tickets. I don't agree with the criteria but I'm assuming we'll find out tomorrow or Tuesday morning.

We're going via Edinburgh on Tuesday to Friday. I believe tickets are only available via the UEFA site with a code from them. With ID checks at the stadium I'd be very wary of buying from resale sites.

Tel aviv game was only 29k, say there's usually 3k away fans, that still leaves about 10k people who didnt buy a ticket for that game. Could help us!

So just got back from Burnley and was expecting to have an email with my UEFA code to access tickets tomorrow.  Anyone know when these are being sent ?

You’d hope before 10am! I’m just praying this will all go smoothly.

My assumption is you'll be notified just before you are eligible. The window to register interest only closed at 5pm.

The windows are
1. Mon 10am - 2pm,
2. Mon 2.30pm - Tues 9.30am
3. Tues 10am - Weds 5.pm

That’s what they’ve said. The category 3 ballot results won’t be out until Tuesday morning.

Talking to an Arsenal season ticket holder and they have to do exactly the same process as us - register for the ballot by Sunday evening and find out Monday night if they are successful
Interesting that in the 3rd ballot no mention of GA+ season ticket holders, are they all guaranteed a ticket for the final?

How does it work if you get a link but don’t buy a ticket? Is everybody with a link guaranteed a ticket?

Following on from the above, is the assumption that if you get through the Category 3 ballot you'll definitely get a ticket?

I would think so, I assume the ballot will only allocate enough codes for the tickets available.
