I'm in the same scenario, I've been a season ticket holder since the mid 80's, my Son who's 32 has had one since he was 5. He's never seen us win anything. His mate, who's a great lad, buys a membership & attends a handful of games, gets the same chance & the good fortune of being picked. Our biggest game in 42 years & we won't be there. That is wrong, no matter how you look at it.

I'm fortunate that I could afford to pay the 30 times face value the resale sites are asking for a ticket. But it's immoral & I won't do it out of principle. UEFA & our own club has fucked us over & it's going to take a while for me to forget that.
Exactly mate. No way a member should have the same chance as a season ticket holder if they both attended the same Europa matches. One stumps up best part of a grand the other less than a ton. Disgraceful decision from the club.

A mate of mine is a season ticket holder and has been to all the Europa home games and he's heard nothing. He even reserved a seat on the charter flight. Feel for all those in the same boat.

There's every chance a member has spent more on going to games at VP this season than a ST holder has.

Are you paying about £1k?

Looks like £1100 in the region of on Ticombo. God it's so much money that I don't have but still really tempted.

Maybe but a season ticket holder shells out around a grand before a ball is kicked. Loyalty like that should be valued.

I’d hang fire until the cat 3 window closes before buying elsewhere, as there’s a chance some may come up. Heard rumours online that people were still getting ballot codes into the late afternoon.

I’ve seen the odd one in the £850 range tbf but very very few. I’ve been monitoring it regularly throughout the week.

Although you’re covered, the risk is getting to the stadium and finding out it’s fake. Getting your money back isn’t compensation at that point.

I was lucky enough to get a ticket. Easy enough process to purchase. Booked flight and hotel via World Choice Sports. Expensive but hotel just over a mile from ground. Looking forward to it now.

The club may be hampered by UEFA on how many categories they can do as it's such a short turnaround from qualifying to codes. From what I saw Palace is just a free for all to any ST or member with no game requirements. Arsenal had 2 windows.

Chance to win tickets

https://hankook.win/competitions/ticket-arena-uefa-europa-league-road-to-the-finals-2026/
Thanks a lot,less chance of me winning now ☹️

I've forwarded it on to a couple of people as well, so you've got even less chance now. Sorry.
And I've just had a go!
No point anyone entering or sharing this further, as I know I'm winning this.

Thanks for your cooperation in this matter. ;)
