It turned out to be from a season ticket holder in the Leazes end. When he got to his seat the bloke next to him told him that the ST holder was ill and confirmed that he had sold his ticket back to the club. How then did this ticket end up on a third party site? Tout signs up for membership and gets a ticket in the resale Tout sells ticket at inflated price and forwards the ticket download email to the punter Or if the tout is a massively snidey cunt they could forward the email multiple times and take payment from loads of punters But only one of the punters will actually get into the ground Edited October 5, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Trying my luck on the ballots for Palace and Dortmund. If I get a ticket for the Palace game first, I might just book a trip from Friday till Thursday and cross my fingers I get tickets for Dortmund as well. Ahhhh. How I miss the old system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Wow. Maybe they're getting to grips a little bit. Already had email confirmation of a ticket for Palace. I'd be interested to know if ballot entries have taken a nose dive due to frustration or just new season novelty wearing off. I've gone from 0/3 to 4/7. All section 2.

Me and my mate were on the fence about getting one given how the system works and knowing someone with an In at the club who would sort tickets before that was clamped down on. I know the chances of getting a ticket is still slim, but I cannot risk not seeing Schar playing in midfield in person. I personally signed up yesterday morning - the atmosphere looked incredible on the TV, even at a slim chance of actually getting a ticket to a game I want to be in the hat. Anyone know how long it takes after buying a membership before you can enter ballots? The Dortmund one kept saying "you have no ballots you can enter" so assume there's a bit of a cool-down before you can start entering ballots to stop people signing up on-mass and immediately getting in?

huss9 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 i know 3 people who paid £217 each for a ticket in the leazes for psg off a 3rd party site. the digital tickets had the original punter's names on them. surely the club just buys all the 3rd party tickets and bans/blocks the seat owners in future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooooon Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Some friends of mine and myself applied for several tickets for the Crystal Palace game. Nearly all of them have been successful in category 2. But all who applied for category 1 had no success. Was anyone of you successful with an application for cat 1?

This message on the website suggests that by selecting category 1 you have a better chance of being successful as you can also land a ticket in a lower price category: "IMPORTANT: Tickets can be allocated in any available category, and so if successful the total price of your application may vary. Prices shown are the maximum per price ticket." Has anybody been able to confirm if this is correct? Also does this include the family area? I'd be happy to go there, but since those tickets seem to be cheaper I'm afraid you wouldn't then enter the ballot for more expensive options. Is that correct? Also on the phone a few weeks ago the box office told me there was a separate ballot for international membership holders, but that doesn't seem to be the case as far as I can see. Bit of a clusterfuck this whole process So in the end I bought four international memberships (wife, daughter, son and myself) and paired us as significant relationship members one adult to one child, i.e. my wife to my daughter and my son to myself. For the Palace game I applied for two tickets for my son and me in the more expensive category 1, and two for my wife and daughter in category 2. If we could only get two my son and I would go, but if we got all four we'd all go. In the end we got my wife and daughter's tickets in Leazes level 7, which appears to be the family area rather than category 2 seats. No news on my own ticket application so I assume I have failed to land those category 1 tickets. Which leads me to wonder what the above statement in italic actually means, and also what the categories actually mean? Also from this very little sample size it appears that category 2 applications, what with the seating area being much bigger and seemingly the family area being included in there too, might have a better chance of being successful than category 1. I was told by the box office that there was a separate ballot for international members, but throughout the process I have seen no evidence of this whatsoever.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Well, if almost half of people have never won then someone is getting the tickets Course, the ratio of members to available tickets is probably ridiculous.
