So how will this showing of id at a ticket collection point work if you buy a ticket through a seller like seatpick or stubhub?

Unfortunately, if they start somewhere near £40, then we'll be looking at attendances of near 30k. People wont be able too afford prices like that imo and after qualifying, it'll be a bit shit if we then cant fill the place. Club need to be very careful imo on this pricing. Like whats been said, surely selling out on £25-£30 packages, is better than 30k on £40 tickets. Just need to look at cup attendances over the years, to see the reality of extra expense.

But we go to Milan we’d probs have 30k travelling over there. £30-40 is reasonable

Will those tickets not be home tickets. Away tickets wont be issued until the person turns up at collection point and shows the correct id

I wouldn't expect many full houses if we have those prices for our late autumn/winter mid-week Thursday games - with the cold setting in, exiles can't attend and the possibility of a home PL game the following Sunday we might have to drop our prices.

Throw in a rotated team (I’m convinced this will happen against the weaker teams)

You really think it would sell out at £50 a ticket to see us play MÄLLBY or GÓRNIK ZABRZE ? Not a chance.

If this was our third year in Europe this century i might agree with you but its our first and the first home game will deffo be a sellout nomatter who we play and probably so will the rest as we may never get Europe again and whilst i can see folk with your attitude not attending i think there will be enough to fill the ground.I predict if we draw milan away there will be tens of thousands attending and most wont have a ticket.Yes we have great supporters and many are financially strapped but this season in europe will be well attended even if most have to go into hock to do it!

Where do you get this idea that 30,000 people would travel to Milan?

How would you see them getting there? 30,000 is about 165 EasyJet plane loads.

I tend to agree, there's only so many flights from the north east, once the draw is made and we know what's what any scheduled flights that are convenient for a particular away game will be snapped up in a crack. After that you have to start thinking outside the box such as travelling from different UK airports, travelling to destinations nowhere near where you want to be then travelling on from there, even driving. But having that sort of chew on will put a lot of people off. Even if the club arranged extra flights if thats even a possibility I guess you would only be allowed to book a seat if you had an away ticket.

I have probably watched the lads in Europe about 8 times, mainly in the Reid era. Used to take the family camping for summer holidays when we had pre-season tours in France, Belgium and Holland. Loved it. Also seen them in the Algarve.

No problems with transportation and tickets for those type of fixtures.😉

Why can't exiles attend? I currently have every Friday off, and can take a days leave on the Thursday, and travel up. Overnight stay, back in the morning to Hampshire or stay over til the Sunday home game. I've been waiting 53 years for this. It might be the last chance we'll get for a while.

Good for you mate and good effort for doing that distance. However, a Thursday night home game for a lad living somewhere likeLondon who has to be at work 830 the following day isn't going to work.

He could get the overnight bus to London mind lol Might not be in a fit state. Of course it doesn't work for everyone, but saying that exiles can't attend isn't right either.

So are away tickets only distributed after ID is shown in the relevant away location?
Click to expand...
Yes. You buy your ticket.They email you the location, normally a warehouse or secured unit on a industrial estate with police and fences. You show the email and your id they let you through the gates, you go inside you show your id again they match your id to the ticket you brought..they hand you the ticket.

If you have no idea your not getting anywhere near the location to even pick it up.
