Champions League

[PeterWithesShin]

They aren't showing any of our games so no point advertising us.

The latest Amazon Prime advert features three of the four English clubs who will be playing in this year’s Champions League. See if you can hazard a guess about which club it omits.

They don't want us involved really

[cdbearsfan]

They'll probably show the Leipzig game as they are showing one Tuesday 8pm kick off each week and we are the only British team in that slot that week. Hasn't been confirmed yet, though. They could probably have chosen Villa vs Bologna ahead of Arsenal vs Shakhtar, especially as they have Arsenal on the week before anyway.

Prime’s first UEFA Champions League fixtures are:

17 September – AC Milan vs. Liverpool
1 October – Arsenal vs. Paris Saint-Germain
22 October – Arsenal vs. FC Shakhtar Donetsk
5 November – Liverpool vs. Bayer 04 Leverkusen
26 November – Manchester City vs. Feyenoord

Are the clips of those teams from Champions League games? Maybe there's a much simpler reason there's none of us.

Just shy of 40% of our Young Boys allocation going to corporate/GA+ is utter bollocks.

Not nice is it when you have no chance of getting an away ticket

I am not sure if there is any substances to this story.

I've been thinking about this a bit more.  Those tickets are reserved for GA+ and corporate.  Even if they apply the same criteria to them as they do to us I will still never be able to buy one of their allocation.  So whether or not they apply the same criteria is largely meaningless.  My window could run out at 4 homes & 1 away, there's could go all the way to 1 home.  I still can't apply for tickets in their allocation.  Unless they don't sell out and the club put them back into general sale.

I am fascinated by how Heck is going to persuade those at The Wankdorf to adopt his ticketing strategy.

Someone tell me it's not just me.
I'm a season ticket holder. I go on to the page marked 'season ticket holders buy your own seat' for the Bayern game, click on the window and it takes me to a page marked 'seats held for season ticket holders - the following seats are held for you - select and proceed'. But, although the headings are there (season holder, event, date, price range, etc), there's not information - which means I will have to spend Monday morning phoning the club to secure my seat (lucky I'm retired). is there something I'm not doing right. Advice please.

Is it 100% confirmed that they’ll be 600+ tickets saved for GA+ and corporate? I know box holders have always been given tickets to away games but I thought they’d said GA+ weren’t going to be given any. There seems to be a differing view on this.

26 November – Manchester City vs. Feyenoord

Yeah and following the pattern they will probably go with Leipzig vs Villa on 10th December and Liverpool vs Lille on 21st January. Not sure if they have any matches in the last week when all the games are on Wednesday.

It's on the ticket details page: https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/september/06/BSC-Young-Boys-ticket-details/

Bottom line:




If they're not fenced off for them then why list the seat locations?

If you opted into the cup scheme then you don't need to secure your seat. If you look in your account and then under tickets, Bayern Munich should be in there.

If you are in the Cup scheme and payment has already been taken are we getting a ticket via email or straight onto our season ticket Ads?

I really don't know. They've taken payment, it's within my ticket section, but there's no download option. Would imagine they'll send emails out for adding to your wallet over the next weeks.
