stevegrant Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 "Those fans who purchase tickets for this game will be given priority for any future UEFA Europa League away fixtures this season." Does this mean people with a ticket for the away leg get priority in future games? Or does it include attending the home leg? I went to Vitesse at home but am on holiday for Midtjylland, hoping this won't affect my already slim chances of getting a ticket for any future Europa League games should we reach the group stages. Would assume that it's only away attendance at Vitesse and Midtjylland that will get you priority for future European aways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 Would assume that it's only away attendance at Vitesse and Midtjylland that will get you priority for future European aways. To be honest the chances of getting such a small ground in the group stages are a fair bit less. With only 550 people having that priority anyway it'll be easy enough to give them the first day without even needing to talk about number of aways for group stage. When it comes down to it, with us likely to be pot 3 if we get through, there will probably be bigger grounds for 2 matches and worst case scenario a similar sized one to Midtjyelland for the other. The question then is whether they allocate all 3 group games at the same time (when people will want to book up flights etc immediately) or if they'll be phased to take this season's League aways into consideration. I'd be a bit peeved if I couldn't go to later Euro aways because I'd been to all the earlier ones and didn't have the spare cash to go to the Prem aways too!

thefuriousb Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 Looks like many who were hoping to use the customer numbers of friends who went to Vitesse, but not this round, are out of luck as the season ticket holder has to present ID on the day of the match to colelct the ticket in person.

marc_saint Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 But tbf it is the fairest way the club is doing it. It stops everyone with 12+ aways who isn't going buying the tickets and flogging them on to those that are desperate. As many did for the Vitesse game. (Which i benefited from I will add!) Does make me wonder if this demand will continue through all three away group games.

I am not saying its unfair but wish the photographic ID bit was made public before we had to grab flights and trains etc. There are about 20 of us and we all use each others ST priority depending on who wants to go where. A couple of my mates who had higher priority told me I could use their ST numbers as we have done several times in the past. Now I can't do that as I look nothing like them!!!!

The demand is a function of the novelty; the fact that we might be knocked out (compared to the group stages where we're guaranteed three away games); summer holidays; the geographical proximity -not to mention stadium size on the supply side. Quite a few of those factors should ease if we make it to the group stages.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 Which will benefit the fans who have actually put the commitment in and have genuinely gone to the games themselves instead of just lettings others use their ticket. Don't get me wrong I see where you're coming from. The tickets for the Vitesse game I got were from someone else who couldn't go but I can't think of a fairer way of doing it. Like I said not complaining about the fairness just the ridiculous bunfight for tickets the small allocation and the fact you have to gamble when booking flights etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungle Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 Might be they take off the supporters club allocations, too. But - yes - a decent number of complementaries. 100% collection for a Saints away game - we're officially big time Interesting to note that it shows how many tickets get creamed off the allocation for player and staff comps - Midtjylland explicitly stated on their website that we've got 600 tickets, so that's nearly 10% of our allocation gone to others.

The Cat Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 Flights out are still reasonable but are more expensive coming back. Add in the train fare from Copenhagen and a couple of hotels and I can't see anyway of doing it for much under £350.

Thanks I think it's unlikely the Danish fans would kick off without provocation as crowd trouble is rare over here, unless it's FC Copenhagen v Brøndby who kick off every time they meet pretty much. The FCM fans are more likely to have a spirit akin to how I understood the Vitesse fans to be. I can't think there would be any problems at all getting in as a non-Danish speaker either.

Hoping that demand will be lower as you can't use a friend's customer number. There will be plenty with 12+ aways who can't do the game.
