Hello you lovely people :)

Haven't been to a match since the Moyes season... coming from abroad.

Just purchased that "Forwarding Membership" on the official site, so dependant on the generosity of others.

Does any ST holder here think he won't be able to make it to the Crystal Palace home game (Feb 4th) or the Leicester home game (Feb 19th?)?

I'll be really grateful if that was the case...

Will also come sniffing again in the coming weeks.

Don't want to book a flight and gamble on a ticket outside the stadium for an obscene price.

I can sort you Palace.
 
Hi guys,
Does anyone know anything about the returns for barca away?
Thanks.

The tickets were already sold out for the original game and are still valid for the rearranged game, so lots looking but few tickets available on returns.

Ahh, saw this info after the rearrangement got confirmed. Thanks for replying.

Well, if anyone has a Palace away they can't use I would happily pay, and if you're attending the match, would buy you many drinks. I'm coming in from abroad for the derby for my first match in Manchester in 17 years, and getting to add this away on would be a dream.

Anyone looking for Palace returns keep an eye on the website tomorrow morning. They just sent an email saying to cancel by 11am tomorrow morning if you can’t make it.

Thanks for posting this. Historically, do they typically start listing immediately after that cut off time or is there a delay of a few hours?

They put some up on Thursday 10am apparently, just happened to be the exact time I was getting my Barca ticket ffs haha. Definitely did that on purpose.
 
Probably the longest shot ever, but I'll put it out there anyway. If anyone can't make it for Arsenal on the 22nd, I'd bite your hands off for the ticket. Not literally. Thanks!

Appreciate your kind words mate. It's the fact the club said about 850 were sold yet I was 300 in the queue that's pissed me off. I'll certainly be trying around the ground on the day but ideally wanted it all in place so I could get in the ground early and watch some warming up etc and generally chill out rather than running about trying to get a ticket without being had! Any obvious signs to look for when spotting a fake?

I feel your pain mate. I was gutted to miss out on Real Sociedad but got lucky this time with a pair for me and my mate. When you are out there head down to Placa Reial (Plaza Real) down the bottom of La Ramba. That's where all the reds will be, there are about 8 different bar/restaurants in that square. We got a spare there 4 years ago , and last time there was a wristband issued with each ticket. Best advice is go looking for a spare with someone who has a ticket already, so you can compare and see if its genuine. There were spares around and that was Champs League, you just need to get lucky!

Hate to always be the bearer of bad news but any returns , and there won’t be many will be purchased by season ticket holders , I can’t ever remember a premiership away game going down to members and definitely not to non members.

Could be any time really. You also need to have applied in the original ballot to be eligible to buy returns.

Ahhh okay, thank you. I am currently a member and my only real experience has ever been with European aways since those have gone down to zero credits at times.

I did not know you needed to have applied for the original ballot, definitely no chance for me then. Thanks for taking the time to reply and let me know. I guess I'll see if I can catch a ticket on here or day of the match.
 
Hi, I am actively looking for any Palace tickets (away).

Please do let me know if anyone has any going. Singles or a pair. Really don't mind. Would absolutely love to go.
 
Anybody up for a free ticket for Charlton tonight can hola. I've been screwed over by work so can't make it.

Appreciate it mate! I'll head down to Placa Reial on the day, I'm only staying around the corner from thete. I'll see if I can sort anything that way. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for me if you could! Appreciate the insight

How did you get a spare ? Considering it’s collection only ? Was he after too many beers or what ? :D
 
Some will collect for the credit and sit with mates in the home end if they couldn't get one

How Many Went Up Mate, Had To Return Mine Yesterday As I Can’t Make It Down On Wednesday Unfortunately.
 
Club have finally realised how fecked up our ticket policy is, they have asked us to vote on how away tickets should be allocated going forward. Reckon option 3 is the best way to go.

1. Continue with current approach (tickets released on the ticketing website on a first-come, first-served basis)

2. Continue with ‘first-come, first-served’ approach via website but communicate time of release in advance (e.g. all returned tickets will go live at 9am on Thursday)

3. Ticket office to continue the original ballot and identify the next 100 fans who would have been successful. Once returns become available the ticket office would then allocate those next in line in the ballot a ticket and give them 24 hours to complete payment via the website

4. Ticket office to allocate returned tickets to fans based on the highest number of unsuccessful applications this season (ie someone who had applied and been unsuccessful in 8 ballots would be given priority over someone who had only been unsuccessful 2 times). Tickets would be allocated randomly among fans with the same number of unsuccessful applications, with fans given 24 hours to complete payment via the website

5. Conduct a random re-ballot of all unsuccessful applicants for the number of returned tickets (with no weighting / preference for those with highest number of unsuccessful apps as in option 4)

I think 4 sounds fairest on paper but in reality if people were assigned a return a few days before the game there will be a number of them unable to make it at short notice. Then it’s back to square one with those returns. They’ve already shown announcing a date/time just crashes the website so not looking forward to that part haha.
