[League Cup Final] Newcastle United Vs. Liverpool - 16/03/25 (Live on ITV & Sky)


Recommended Posts

We had a max of about 40k season ticket holders under Benitez iirc? Then 10k walked away (hence the freebies and subsequent 52k gates just before COVID), club then issued another 1k or 2k? Hazard a guess we have the same number of STH as the allocation.

there's about 31k season ticket holders according to this

I'd imagine of that, you'd say 25k Cup Scheme at a guess.  And then not all of those will have went to all the home games.  I'd say pot 6 is extremely limited numbers but will still happen, but thats pure speculation.  There'll also be some returns/payments fail like happened to my mate last time round.

I've had tickets for every home game in the cup but I get the same priority as a ST that couldn't be fucked going to any and a member that only went to one game.

 

Nah, bullshit.

And a member that didn’t go to any, but entered one ballot.

I’m really surprised they didn’t go for a ballot for each pot. Even if they gave far fewer tickets to the member pots, it would give some people a chance. Allowing the early pots to buy them all up is annoying. 
 

That said, sounds like a few thousand will be left since people can only buy one each.

Not sure I’ve got any sympathy for a ST holder that hasn’t entered the cup scheme. Surely you should know the risks by now?

 

Saying that, the Club really need to get a handle on the whole ticketing situation full stop imo.

This suggests we have more than 32k season ticket holders mind .

 

What happens if I signed up to the Cup Scheme but couldn't make any of the matches so forwarded or resold my ticket?  

Due to the nature of having more people on the Cup Scheme than tickets available a priority selling order has been outlined. Priority has been given to those fans that attended games.

Think Members who went to 3-4 cup games have been mugged off being lumped in with ST holders who went to none. No reward at all for going to this competition all the way through.

 

Also think the priority of the cup scheme itself is a bit weird. Lad I know just said his mate who is a ST holder went to 2 home games, 2 away games in Carabao but because he hadn't enrolled at the outset he is in pot 6 :lol: 

 

You can't please everybody with this stuff but these both feel a bit of a misstep.

 

Also worry that we'll have another cup final with too many oldies sitting down rather than young lads desperate to stand a make a racket.

Pot 3.  Not being able to purchase a membership as I have a season ticket has stopped me being in pot 2.

 

Took the bairn to the Chelsea game using a seperate account we have memberships on so I did attend the game, just not on my St account... I transferred  the st ticket to a mate. 

 

Safe to say I won't be going the legitimate route with transferring tickets in future.

No point in dressing this up. 

 

I think the ticketing team are FUCKING DAFT CUNTS AND I HATE THEM

 

So if you're a member that gets to every game, chases down tickets, works your fucking arse off in the face of a shambolic system, all to ensure you can secure a ticket get to every match, you're actually:

 

a) a 2nd class citizen compared to anyone with an ST, whether they've gone to a cup game or not

b) on exactly the same footing as a member who has put in 1 x ballot application all season

 

These arseholes who divvy out tickets can GET TO FUCK

I agree but I can’t get too angry because ST holders have always ruled everything in football. So I’m disappointed but I was expecting it. 
 

The Liverpool approach seems much fairer to people who’ve actually been to the games. 
 

But that said, those ST holders who didn’t bother are probably quite a small number. Even if they didn’t go they would have bought tickets and sold/given them to people off the record.

A hierarchical membership scheme needs to come in I think, as there’s no way to differentiate memberships in regard to tickets between lads like you, me and hundreds of others who F5 like fuck and wait in the queue with lerds of spots because they’re desperate for a ticket and touts/people who aren’t that arsed/away fans.
