Uefa cup final tickets

[Liverbirdie]

I get the issue of ticket allocation, it comes up every year at most events, bit it's no good moaning about UEFA at club level when the same organisation is the one making European qualification so lucrative, the only way things will change is if national bodies start complaining, LPool/Man U/Spurs moaning about the Final venue is pointless, it needs to be the PL

Dont agree, the participating clubs need to moan about it early days, maybe with the backing of the FA.

Imagine if it was Liverpool and Celtic/Man U/Spurs in a 35,000 stadium.

Apparently there are over 115 stadiums in Europe holding over 50k, I think it was.

The criteria to countries who want it shoule be ok, build a ground over 60k, and you'll go on the rota, but you also need lots of hotels within 50 miles etc.

Bit like the open rota.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Exactly, Clubs can't have it both ways, we already know the stadia for next years finals, but the clubs won't moan unless they reach one, otherwise they don't care,

I believe Spurs, United and Liverpool complained months ago.

Why would sponsor pay the same for no "perks" like corporate invite tickets to all matches?

Same with TV kick the in ground studios out get more fans in?

Still would get "perks" and invites to games

Get rid of the ballot to the UEFA family

 

[Liverbirdie]

I applied via UEFA's ballot - no joy.

Liverpool's ballot - no joy, but on the reserve list.

Got one today, via the reserve list.:whoo:

Still not missed a major domestic or European final since 1984.

Over 30 European aways over the years means nothing, as all based on this seasons credits. Went to all the home games, but no aways.

I seen man Citys criteria via a points based system a few years ago, and they seem to have a great system, based on multi-seasons also. LFC's system is rubbish, and doesnt reward extended loyalty, or loyalty in other competitions.

How is Chelsea/United/City/Arsenal/Spurs in relation?

Why does the prize money need to be reduced to allow more fans to go to a final ?

UEFA earn billions each year from telly deals and sponsership - no reason why the money needs to be reduced to allow more fans to be able to go

because nobody sponsors something for free. So if clubs want the revenues, they have to expect the sponsors want something in return.

Pete, absolutely agree it's a disgrace but nothing will change until the National bodies get together and do something. UEFA like to go on about family but once again it's pounds, shilllings and pence that matter.
Man utd only complained once they were out of the CL and did City join in?
2017 will be in Sweden, capacity 52,000, what's the betting the finalists won't get anymore than 15/18k each.

The main reason Coca Cola SHOULD sponsor is for the benefits of mass exposure to their product, the add-ons should just be a bonus.

Coca Cola dont pay billions in sponsorship for a few hundred tickets at major sporting venues, they do it for the exposure.

Yep, the complaints need to come from all parties at the beginning of the system.

There is no good reason to have a final in a 35k stadium.

Just googled last years final, held in Poland, that held over 50k and both teams only got 9500 each, so even taking it to a bigger stadium it doesn't benefit the fans from the finalists. Looks like you's have done well to get 9000 each!

As a company, yes. But the guys arramging the deals are likely staffers, not making major dividends. So they will look for whatever perks they can.

They get worldwide exposure of their product when they sponser the CL etc

Good news have a good trip and bring home some cheese and chocolate but not shiney metals.

The European ticket allocation system works on this seasons credits after about 2/3 matches, before that previous seasons are used you get credit if you apply but if you get a ticket you have to collect in person at a city centre hotel on the day of an away match.
For domestic cup final ballot for all season ticket holders with all cup match tickets bought, away matches don't count.
There is a loyalty pot of around 500 who have applied for every away match since 2005, and they get enhanced chances in the ballot for domestic away matches.

Don't you just hate show offs :temper:

Yep, daft with all the giveaways.

I don't know why they don't just have X no of stadia that rotate the finals? Stade de France, Wembley Camp Nou, Bernabeu etc that hold 60/70/80k plus, all easy to get to and can accommodate all the fans.

Only need 10/12 stadia and use them all the time. Or just use Stade de France for all which must be reasonably close to the centre of Europe and ease to get to etc?

Hopefully you'll get sorted mate, and be alongside me.:thup:

I can understand them moving it round, a bit, but there should be a criteria.

65k+ for CL finals, 55k+ for EL finals. (there must be 50 odd stadiums round europe with these capacities) - Wish I knew a google expert, who could advise. :whoo::rofl:

Simples, if Austria, Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzerland, etc want it build a stadium big enough.

"Cities/countries" should bid for it - guaranteeing normal priced hotel rooms, the airlines should also be told to charge normal prices etc.

Also 40% of tickets to each finalist, 20% to the UEFA family/sponsors.

Around about 40 over 55k but includes stadiums like Croke Park and Murrayfield

So what about last year when the Capacity was 56,000 and attendance was 45,000,
You have to book the stadium years in advance.
