My tickets have landed in my phone.

On the UEFA app?

[ART]

yes, just came through about 1/2 hour ago. For me anyway. Could be released in batches

Yes.

Me, a season ticket holder didn't get tickets but a few of my mates, who are members, did.  I can't pretend to not be a little bit annoyed at that.

Forest fan here, I come in peace! I was successful in the UEFA ballot and I have 2 tickets for sale for the final. However I have tried to sel them on Ticombo (who seem a good site BTW) and I have discovered that the ticket which I purchased in my name cannot be transferred. I had arranged a sale with a Villa fan (who was a great bloke and very understanding of my mistake), but this had to be cancelled as he wanted both tickets.

So I definitely have 1 ticket for sale as I can transfer this no problem, and if anyone know how to circumvent the UEFA restrictions there is possibility of another (but I cant see way around this).

If anyone on this site is interested please let me know. Tickets have just been released by UEFA so they are in my wallet. This is a genuine post

ART, from reading the UEFA website, you're right about not being able to transfer the ticket in your name, it seems the best you can do is to put it up for resale with UEFA - at least that way you'll get your money back.

Your problem makes me wonder how there are so many tickets popping ip for sale via resale sites.

PS - can we have Elliot Anderson? Promise we'll treat him kindly.

believe me I tried to find a way around it but I couldn't find one. I did wonder how so many other people had more than 1 ticket to sell, but maybe they are professional sellers and have a way around it. I am just an individual seller, and dont normally do this so I am a bit stuck.

So 1 ticket still up for grabs if you know of anyone who wants to go, Its in the Cat 1 area of ground, upper tier, half way mark

I wouldn't be surprised if part of the thinking is to encourage attendance in the European games.

Lots of season ticket holders didn't go, certainly round us, and attendances have been down. So by rewarding the non-season ticket holders, they may think they are encouraging these to take up the slack when the ST holders don't come.

From memory, they prioritised memberships in some way for the FA Cup semi-final last year as well didn't they?  Guess they want to try and get as many memberships sold as possible.  Not in anyway having a dig at the folks with memberships, as I'd imagine the large majority of them attend most of the games anyway.  Doubt there would have been many at all who would just have paid for a membership and only gone to all of the home Europa games.

Yes i've been on the ST wating list for 5 years now and attend most home league games and attended all Europa league games. I would expect to get same category as a ST holder who also attended 7 Europa games and most/all league games.

And definitely above a ST holder who didn't attend all 7 home Europa League games.

Have you tried logging in on a different handset to see if it appears on that one? It’s says you shouldn’t, but it might work. In which case if you give the person you are selling to the login, they might be able to get it? However they would
Need to trust you and you them, for this approach.

Or lend your handset 😂

I'm interested and have sent you a DM.

Looks like I can't cancel my purchase.

So if anyone is looking for 2 tickets together, category 2, let me know.

I only want to recoup the fee I paid, which is currently lower than I am seeing most of them on for!

Obviously these are Ticombo resale tickets, not Villa allocation.

Have you loaded the ticket up on your phone yet?
If not, I guess someone could just log into the app under your name and password and hope there's no ID checks at the ground.
But I would think getting your money back on the resale would probbaly be safer.

According to the Europa League website there is free travel on public transport for those with a ticket it advised not using taxi due to traffic  restrictions around the stadium

Not yet, but the UEFA site also says the tickets have to match phone you registered with
