PSV Away (Travel Plans) - Thursday 14th April

[Permafrost]

I see the Members Thurs 2pm option has disappeared now.

I guess that means that any seats that pop-up can only be bought by STH, even after 2pm.

 

Got a mate who is a member and was going to advise him to keep refreshing after 2pm and he may get lucky, but it looks like it won't be an option anyway for members.

They usually go back on sale to the band they sold out at only.

[Devohn]

The biggest issue with our current priority scheme system is that for some strange reason it values having a season ticket over double that of attending every single away game.

 

Season ticket = 50 points

19*Away Games = 19 points

 

I've been to over 30 away games over the past 5 seasons but because I got my season ticket in 15/16 and the points are calculated from 14/15 I will always be 50 points behind. Therefore it would take almost 3 seasons of going to every single away game (impossible for all season ticket holders bracket) just to be even with someone with 1 year longer season ticket but no away game history.

 

I hope that sounds as ridiculous to you as it does to me. Just seems like they plucked 50 points out of thin air.

 

Season tickets should be only used to ensure you have a seat for every home league game and a reserved seat for every home cup fixture. It should have no bearing on away games.

 

Priority for away games should be determined by away game history. Perhaps over a rolling 5 year period, and possibly weighting according to difficulty to attend or interest.

Eg.

European away = 5 points

Burnley away on Tuesday = 3 points

Villa away on Saturday = 1 point

 

P.S. Judging from the number of unclaimed tickets at European away games due to the passport checks catching out ticket resellers, can we please have random ID spot checks at away games. If your ID doesn't match the purchase account then the ticket reseller is banned from away game sales for a year. This will stop people reselling tickets to Southampton on a Friday to collect 3 points.

Flights aren’t cheap but screw it, it’s my first trip out the country since I was at school 🤣. Flying from Birmingham to Amsterdam on 09:15am flight, then will have to get train to Eindhoven, coming back next day on the 21:05 flight from Amsterdam to Birmingham, give chance to have a wonder around 

Can't see a 9:15 am from Birmingham - but maybe it's full. Which airline did you book with?

Completely agree mate, luckily I'm on 437 so doesn't really affect me but I've always said that the away scheme needs looking at, maybe sacking off the 50 points for ST and just go off away games only, it's not quite fair that new ST's can do 10 aways in a season and still be nowhere near the next priority band. Think with the points thing the next issue you have is people buying burnley on a Tuesday night purely for the points and not to actually go. 

[William Luk]

one on now but I can't purchase it coz the Members Thurs 2pm option has disappeared now.

[Lukey Boi]

I have the same - have just emailed them..

KLM. There was only a couple of seats left on that one. There was one leaving at 6am but I didn’t fancy being up that early 🤣

We're doomed. My mate who purchased ticket as STH told me that sales would be locked at all ST holders because that was the point at which they first sold out 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

Thank you. I've just booked the 09:15 out on the Tuesday. Returning on the Saturday on the 12:15. Brilliant - (apart from the price! )

Unfortunately so. Like it says on the last line of info on the Man Utd ticket page. Imagine the PSV game will be updated to say similar.

Pub in Eindhoven it is then! 🍺 Where is everyone without a ticket, but still travelling over watching it?

Absolutely this. No system is going to be perfect and someone is always going to be pissed off, but a member doing 20 away games a season would take 25 years to accumulate 500 points. Sth should perhaps get 3pts for a renewal and members 1pt, but 50pts is ridiculous.
Maybe a bit far but having points for competitions could work and would reduce people buying away tickets in the league knowing that it would potentially up them another bracket for European games. But getting rid of the 50pt premium needs to happen and it would be a start

I'll be there. My Dutch mate is Leicester supporter. He is looking for home fans tickets.

I might have a return flight that you could buy off me if my son chooses not to go, as he didn't get a ticket ?

Comfort for anyone who missed out is that we will get plenty IF we have Rome in the semi-final. 

 

Anyone considering jumping the gun early - the UEFA regulations say it must be 8pm / 9pm local kick off time 

Were only entitled to 5% which is 4,000 unless Roma choose to give us more.

 

Then again, we could end up with 300 from Bodo Glimpt

Liverpool got 5k for a CL semi final, so I'd expect that as a minimum

I agree with this. My 8 Yr old son only got his season ticket this year. But goes to nearly all away games. 

 

He misses out though in games like forest as someone who has attended 15 away games over the last 8 years jumps the queue. He does that many in one season, if not more. 

 

Thankfully, he is coming with me to Eindhoven. 

 

Also, a friend and I have around 550 points each, we worked out that we could not bother going to an away game for 4 years and still be top priority, if the current system was to  remain in place. Really doesn't seem fair.

 

As you say, weighted points and perhaps a shorter history for away priority may work better.
