Gent - 1007 tickets
Anderlecht - 1125 tickets
AZ - less than 1000 (although they gave Dundee 1300 in the qualifiers after negotiation - not sure they'd be as kind for a SF!)
FFS that AZ allocation in particular is dreadful for a Semi Final. Be a massive bun fight for those tickets.

FWIW Anderlecht away was an allocation of 1,132 and sold out to 40 points (don't know what the equivalent point threshold would be for that now.)

Man Utd played there in 2019 and only got 750. But the stadium has gone through some renovation since then, Dundee Utd were given 975 for their qualifier and managed to get it up to 1300. Looks like it kicked off outside the ground though so that probably won't help our case of requesting a bigger allocation!

If the club play the same corporate "tricks" they did in Frankfurt an allocation of about 900/1000 will barely get past away STHs

It started at AST with 52 points which was max at that time then down to normal points

I got mine on 47 and they sold out at 40

Had to wait over the weekend to see if it went down to 47
Was a horrible wait.

Difficult to judge now, later in the competition, Gent easy to get to...sweating again but I'm still going.

An expensive little trip this one. £303 each on the Eurostar (Wed-Fri) after flights jumped to £350+ return.

Due to the smaller allocations I'm going to assume that there will be a priority given to those who have travelled before.

No chance. They won't care about that. All the corporate ticket holders will start to get interested now.

I don't think they'd do that. The only time they have done that is when Vienna got cancelled and people had tickets, so they gave priority to those for the Seville game.

I agonised over whether to buy flights at 1.15 and bottled it as I have 43 points and little chance of a ticket. Having done Brussels and Antwerp city breaks x 2 and Gent /Bruges as well the cost without a match ticket doesn't work for me.Will probably regret it.

With a 1k allocation what points do people think it will go down to? And do you think the club will negotiate a higher allocation?

I would think that most ASTs and high points holders will have done a lot of these so probably doesn't change things particularly, will be all about the corporates.

One positive is that it is Easter so a probably means a % of people will be on holiday and also I think it is a 1000 tickets + player allocation as I believe they are in a different section from researching.

I would guess trouble in Genk and Anderlecht will mean the police stopping any additional allocation.

For your information, the Club London corporate allocation does not get sorted until after the Bond Holders, AST’s, Players, Wives and staff, and BM6/Box holders have been allocated, as far as I’ve been told.
Tickets are not guaranteed.

Have these tended to be a completely separate allocation for EL/ECL games? Have that suspicion as I know someone that used some of Nobe's tickets for Lyon and they weren't in with the main group of fans.

I seem to recall that for Lyon away, a few of us were contacted to see if we would wanted to sit (and pay extra for) in the Corporate seats.
It was very lastminutedotcom. Maybe a day or two before the match.
If players families don’t want to/cannot attend then I assume those are those available tickets.
Please don’t quote me on this, I am assuming and using common sense.

Why should Players, Wives and staff, and BM6/Box holders get a ticket before those of us who travel up and down the country and around Europe every week? Fine if they are elsewhere in the ground like they were at Lyon but its when they are in the main end that winds me up. I know for a fact there were people in the main away end at Frankfurt with tickets courtesy of a former player who hasnt played for us 20 years.

I'd bet a good sum of money that a Club London member has a better chance of getting a ticket for the final in Prague than someone on 20-30 points all because they have a few extra quid and its bang out of order.

Don't understand the maths on this, how does one block increase our allocation by 50%.
And what three blocks on that map are they referring to?
