ericb Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Don't think I should have a problem getting a ticket for the match, but would like to be in the away end if possible! I assume we'll get an official allocation of 4k but then an official allocation of another 4k based on the "neutral" section. Would also guess that if you can't get into either of those then you'll be able to pick up a ticket in the home ends, and talking to fans of other clubs that have been to the San Siro for games it's pretty straight forward to walk up on the day and buy. Interestingly my mates that went with United and Spurs said that expect a LONG wait after the game in the away end, as the Milan clubs tend to keep away fans in for up to an hour after the game. Also they said that if you've got vertigo you're f*cked, as the away end is right in the gods and banked so steeply you feel like you're about to fall down it.

The9 Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 (edited) Shame there's no worth to doing the Arnhem game. That travel package won't go ahead, which means there'll be at least 100 tickets going back on sale at some point after the rest have sold out... The "worth to doing the Arnhem game" was that people got priority for Midtjylland. And as that went down to only 1 away eventually, people really have no reason to be complaining about not getting priority because they chose not to go to Denmark.

I thought it was 3 (admittedly still not that many)? I missed out in the free for all at the end. Have 11 this time around but likely to only get tickets for Inter and I could have 3 again and still get an Inter ticket due to the size of the ground! Ah well!

I thought it was 3 too, but others have said 1. Either way there's no-one who legitimately qualified for an Arnhem ticket who couldn't have got a Midtjylland ticket, so the people whining that their Arnhem game doesn't count for anything are 1) wrong, it gave them priority for the next Europa League match and 2) unable to count, as there were more people with tickets in Arnhem than there are tickets available for Be'er Sheva.

trousers Posted 1 September, 2016 Share Posted 1 September, 2016 Any reason why the club can't put the Milan tickets on sale now rather than in two weeks times? Just delays knowing whether or not there will be tickets left for those of us next in the queue after season ticket holders (i.e. members).

This is the only one I am guaranteed to get a ticket for as I didn't ''officially' go Midtjylland and don't quite meet the 14 away criteria from 15/16.

The9 Posted 1 September, 2016 Share Posted 1 September, 2016 (edited) Bloody hilarious that the bloke who got confirmation that the side stands would be "neutral" (read "for home fans but we don't really care who buys them") has also come up with the fascinating revelation that Saints fans will be in the third tier behind the goal at the opposite end to the home fans. Or "the away end", as it's known. Edited 1 September, 2016 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten how spread out these games are. At least we now know the answer to "will the club wait to announce priority until after some other matches" is NO, they're doing priority for at least the first two aways based on 2015/16 only.

Thanks. If I can't get a Saints ticket I'm happy to get one from Inter for neutral or home sections. After several years of trying I have finally got my online login to work. I see from the ticket news for Inter away that tickets can only be bought online and that they will only be posted by special delivery to the registered address. The problem with this is that I shall be away from 26th September and shall only get home late on the afternoon of Tuesday 20th October only to fly out early next morning on the Wednesday so there will be nobody there to sign for the letter. Why doesnt the club start the distribution process earlier? I don't see why they have to wait until the 19th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the Inter ones, the ID details need to be sent to Inter so they can print them onto the tickets and then send them to us. Hence why I think it's a bit odd that they're not going on sale immediately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
