Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
If the other Belgian trips are anything to go by you wont be allowed to be anywhere near the stadium without a ticket, they actively discourage ticketless fans from going over.hammerman11 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 9:41 am so I am thinking of going away but no chance of a ticket . any idea where they will show the game for us ticketless hammers ?

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
Belgium has in recent years seen an upturn in domestic football hooliganism, which resulted, earlier this season, in a ban on away fans in domestic competitions.
Their police are likely to have a say in the arrangements concerning tickets for teams from overseas as well as how long bars stay open after games etc.
Last year in GENK, the bars in two local towns were shut immediately after the match finished.
Ghent, a larger town, may see different rules applied but even so I expect a draconian police presence and tightly controlled supporters.
For Anderlecht this season there was a huge police showing.
I really wouldn't hold out much hope for there being many more than 1150 tickets, and of those maybe 150 in the Ghent "posh seats" allocated to the club for players, directors and sponsors ( plus a few high rollers from the lounges).
I reckon 200 to Bondholders, 400 to ASTH, and 400 to high pointers and that will be it.

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
With all due respect to the ticket office, how can it take those in charge over a week and still not manage to have negotiated and published details for a game that’s less than two weeks away now?

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
The hope is that the delay is caused by them trying to blag a few more tickets.
It's the hope that kills.
Maybe they also think that the longer they leave it the less demand there will be. Hence less disappointed fans on 60+ points.
Apart from that I have no idea.

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
Hang on......
Would you rather they said
"it's 1,000 tickets, that's it"
or
"After detailed discussions with Gent we have managed to secure 1,500 tickets, a significant uplift on the allocation they have given to any other visiting club" in a few days time?
At the moment, I'm an ASTH, on maximum points, and I'm sweating on a ticket - i'm nervous, but I'd rather give the TO the time to get the maximum possible so as many WHU supporters can attend as possible.
Not everything is in the control of our TO, they will have to talk to Gent, Gent will probably have to talk to the Belgian police etc
It takes time.
A legitimate complaint would be about this entire competition, it's timetable, especially in a season where FIFA shoe horned in a WC, robbing European leagues of a month out of their season.

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
My theory is we’ve asked for more, Gent have saved us an extra block but are waiting to see how many they sell to their home fans before giving the green light to us.
Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
Yet there’ll be hundreds of Gent fans in the home sections at the LS like every other ECL home game I’ve been to this season, as our club wilfully sell to away fans.TommyHammer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 1:08 pm Just FYI as well, they've blocked access from the UK to specifically access the tickets for our game on their website, obviously to reduce loads of us getting in the home end.

My Dad just changed his VPN and grabbed a ticket in their end in the middle of the stand.
It can be done…

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
Have I missed something, I am a ASTH one off maximum and expecting a ticket no issue and was expecting this to go down to 64ish points.the pink palermo wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 11:52 am

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
He’s in Belgium for the week to see some family so he bought a ticket to the home game on the weekend before our fixture which qualifies you as a member, ( I think).
It’s a bit of a pricier option but it’s one way at least.

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
What is the maximum now? Think they sold us a City ticket and it’s about 70.

Yes its 70 after Bournemouth
Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
Steady on. At Anderlecht and Lyon they cancelled tickets paid for with British cards.

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
The age old problem -bondholders and their entitlements.
1000 tickets
Less 809 bondholders
= 191 tickets.
Even if none are siphoned off for corporates, we have 630 odd ASTH, so a 1 in 3 chance.
Assuming of course that all the bondholders are still alive and apply for a ticket.
Any allocation below 1500 means ASTH are sweating.

Re: Away Tickets Thread - The Europa fear, is back
Ark at that, you know as well as i do, that the 809 Bondholders are not all going to take allocation - AST will be grand, IMO i am more annoyed by the new ASTH that are on less points than people like myself and get priority, think cup/European games when not part of the 'package' should be done on the points.the pink palermo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 10:15 am The age old problem -bondholders and their entitlements.
