And, we're off.....2016/17

Season tickets only in the ballot too. Members without season tickets are not allowed to apply. Which i guess is fair given the money they spend. I know people (members not season ticket holders) who have been to every euro match this year but will still travel in the hope of getting a ticket from a tout. Travelling around Europe following Man U is like what golf is to us.....it's their main hobby. They make a short break of it spending a few days in a European city etc.

I get the need to keep sponsors sweet but why pre sell more than twice as many tickets than your giving to both fans combined? All your going to get is thousands and thousands of fans travelling without tickets and the touts making a wedge.

I hear you mate.

Funnily enough we've been doing it for years and get called whinging scousers.......

It is a hobby/obsession. After me arl fella took me to Rome (1984) and Heysel (1985) at the age of 13 and 14, it really gave me a taste for it, especially with the six year ban, so when we got back in I sacked off the London games and went all over Europe with the reds. 30 times at least, and had some great times. We also mainly used to go for 2-4 days, as the flight prices came down to a sensible level then, and it also gave us time to take in a bit of that city's culture, rather than just spending all of it in an Irish bar.I'd also dip in and out if I could but hard getting back on the bandwagon, as don't have many other "credits", apart from being a season ticket holder.

I always think the season ticket holders should be a priority, but any "member" who goes to 2 European aways should get a final ticket.

The only way to enforce change is the main clubs getting together and insisting that the finals are in bigger stadia, and the tickets are split 40% per club, and 20% for UEFA, sponsors etc. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

As a saints fan I've never had to suffer this.

Although the odd cup final of late has given me a taste of the frustration.

Unfortunatley I don't see the clubs doing anything about it. The financial prizes on offer far outway the extra they'd make from a few extra seats sold so I doubt any big cub wants to upset the apple cart.

Would love to see see it happen, but when FIFA or UEFA are involved I don't see any sort of morale decision being made.

Slight side note, but as Rules have now changed. Would supporters of the bigger clubs still prefer to miss out on Thursday night. Or is the CL carrot enough to make you put up with it?

Sod off you, I only popped in for one question.

Ask a bigger club supporter anyway.

:thup: Yip, exactly right. But then how would UEFA ensure they can get higher ££££ for the tickets they pre-sell
