Only Family Stand available now and not many there either. Always happens for cup games, demand really picks up in the days before a game.

Fair enough, at least you got some sorted.

Do the family stand rules still apply for the midweek cup games? I remember them changing these for a few games last year. I would say ring the club but you'll probably get a mixed response.

They're still on general sale

Yes you would need as many memberships as tickets (in your case 4). The club hold back a number of tickets for international members which go to a ballot if demand exceeds availability. However, I doubt that unless it's prime holiday season (e.g. Christmas time) tickets will be oversubscribed. News article with details below. Looks like Everton ballot for internationals may be over. Best bet is to get in touch with the club around what you are looking for (i.e. Everton tickets) and how to best go about it. https://www.lcfc.com/news/436353

A membership gets you access to tickets. Everton on a Sunday 16:00 will be easy to get tickets. There are still tickets for Chelsea (current champions) on a Saturday 15:00. Assuming you are in Norway, get a couple of the international memberships as they get you access to home match tickets.

I'm sure if you phone the club or go to the shop direct they can sort something out.

All you need is one successful ballot

I think back in the Championship days there were different memberships. More expensive ones had like 4 games included for £99 or something (don't remember exact pricing). Maybe they should have sold 15,000 memberships (or however many) that for a price of £80 guarantee you two home tickets (the £80 is the entry fee for the two games). You can then specify all the games you can attend and if demand does not outstrip availability, you are allocated top two choices. Where matches are oversubscribed (Man U etc) then there is a ballot and you may end up with choice 4 and 5 for example. Or a membership for £120 that guarantee two category A games and an £80 membership that gurantees two Category B games if you want to split. Hope I make some sense here, I know what I mean...

There's a Family Stand

Last season you could have got tickets for most of the home games even if you were a City Fox member. That means that come the start of the season, if you had a membership last year, you will have priority over any newcomers this season. Therefore it should be fairly comfortable to get tickets for at least half the games. If you didn't attend any games last season, for whatever reason (and it may be a good one) then you will likely miss out on a fair few games. However, no doubt there will be opportunities to go watch some home games and build up your points tally. At the end of the day this is the fairest way for the majority of fans. Of course, if it doesn't apply to someone and gives them a disadvantage, that automatically makes the scheme unfair! The club have actually put some thought and effort into this and listened to the fans. If you didn't give any input into those sessions then it really is your own fault for not making your voice heard. Bottom line, I am sure if you have a membership this season (2017/18) then you will get to see a fair amount of games. Fair enough if you are only bothered about Man U, Chelsea and the likes then you may be in for a tough one. If you just want to go to any game then I am sure opportunities will arise. Demand is currently outstripping supply and the club are tied down by that. Ground expansion sounds like the simple answer and I am sure that is mentioned regularly but it is not an easy business decision and equally hard to approve and get done.

Bayern (the club) have filed a complaint about the Spanish Police with UEFA on the back of this. Let's see what happens.

I don't always get mail daily, sometimes I go days without mail. And I have never received a story in the mail either.

The people working for the police are no doubt doing a good job but I feel they get no protection from the state. I've seen it no end of times in town on a Saturday night when pissed up people are going at them non-stop. Abuse on top levels, yet they take it without any punishment. You did that abroad and you would get locked up for the night and pay a fine (that's to a certain extent not saying one word to them, talking of the extreme situations). Police seem a lot more intimidating abroad. Then of course there is the other extreme like some/most countries in Africa where the police control everything and show no respect.

British police are a joke anyway, the amount people can get away with in this country is beyond anything. They are not firm in any way.
