Good to know You just log on whenever and register your interest, fill in your bank details should you be lucky and choose the category you want and then wait for an email telling you if you're lucky, no email, no ticket. Took me till Leeds around Christmas to not get one last year, first game this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 8670 Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) £47 for a liverpool ticket. trying to remember if it was £40 or £42 last season? anyway, although not as bad as the hike in price for aston villa tickets over the 2 seasons it's still another canny mark up. more and more of the opinion that the ONLY thought process in the new membership scheme has been ro fleece an unlimited amount of members for as much money as it can.

Dr Gloom 21305 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I entered in the ballot for a single tier one ticket at £62, I think it was. Presumed it would give me the best odds. Toyed with the idea of 1892 and platinum club, but figured there might be fewer of those available than the higher tier tickets. Possibly less demand too as it’s such a soulless part of the ground so fuck knows. Anyone got any clue which ticket band gives you the best odds of success? 20k plus had already entered the ballot before I logged on a few minutes ago so I’m not hugely optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 31647 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Applied again. £73 for me and the daughter in category 3. I'm positive she didn't get a discount for the villa game? (Had we been successful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21305 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I don’t mind paying a bit extra if it means I get to the see the bastard match as I only go to a handful of games a season. Just need to decipher which tier ticket gives you the best chance of getting in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pal of mine got so arseholed in one of the boxes that he staggered out a good while after the match had ended, went to get the bus near the central station, saw some Grimsby fans, gave them stick after he got jumped on down there in the previous game against them, he then got howked again and so became the only Newcastle fan alive to be chinned home and away by Grimsby. The point of course is you can get very drunk in those places. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a peasant from Wallsend* can afford corporate. I've been to a few do's at "the rooftops" as it happens. Way back when it was much less salubrious under Ashley. Iirc they actually closed that area latterly because of lack of demand. View wise its probably no better than my seat but will cost as much for a single match as my ST. * Mandatory safety 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
