v Crusaders (EL 2nd Qualifying Rd) - 25/07 & 01/08

[George AlooGobi]

I think yow lot are in for a surprise if it’s Crusaders coming.
The NI fans love a big day out.

Are Crusaders' fans big into any of that sectarian scumbaggery or are they civilised?

They are quite civilised.
When flag protesters turned up at their ground the Crusaders fans escorted the Cliftonville fans (staunchly catholic support team from North Belfast) past the protesters.
However unfortunately the match was subsequently postponed on safety grounds in case of violence.

However, as with any team, you can get the usual hangers on attending for a certain match every once in a while.

I think I get the picture. You've cast them in a good light

 

[GeoffPalmersLeftBoot]

I’ve been to numerous NI local matches over the years and have never seen an aggro.
Been to Newry, Portadown, Glenavon (Lurgan), Dungannon Swifts and Crusaders, but to name a few and never seen anything.

 

[The Runner]

Really??! Bizarre, I’m certain my email said a new card will be in the post??

Perhaps they're replacing some but not others

Not getting mixed up with your Vile ticket?

Just had a look on Crusadors website just in case they had any away ticket info (in the event of getting through), they didn't but I did had to chuckle at the update for their game against B36, basically saying tickets still on sale and they can order online or "pop in and ask for Gillian". Kind of shows the levels we're dealing with.

The club have managed to get a bigger plane for em though,and subsidised.Depart Belfast on the 17th at 10am....Return on the 18th at 11pm.......£200. For their game v Torshavn.

Crues fans are usually decent my wifes brother is a season ticket holder and a really decent guy and i played for the youth team years ago before joining Ards but there is good few like me of mixed religion support them (i dont support them) my bro in law is one Linfield supporters are a different matter

 

[stuj4z]

Last season you could buy booze at UEFA games (I went to a couple at the Emirates)

You couldn’t before that though

Was it the beer of the tournament sponsors be any chance?
Heineken usually

Linfield supporters are awesome but we all know where you stand on such matters

 

[mr_j_007]

I would hope they keep the pricing the same if we make it to the group stages. After the group stages I think after the group stages we could increase prices

Lurgan ain't a nice gaff

No need

 

[Deleted member 4453]

Mine said to retain my existing card

Likewise.
Maybe depends on how long you've had that card?

Think I've had it 3 years. This will be the fourth.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Tickets purchased. Superfan ay it

 

[boyceywolf]

I know that some people will say logistics but why sell tickets to a match where we don't know the opponent or the date yet? They should hold seats for season tickets until the date is confirmed

I have tried online but it is saying no home matches available??

Logistics

 

[Deleted member 4456]

The option is on the tickets homepage. Make sure you're logged in and you should see it at the top left.

 

[MobNet Wolf]

I'd be fairly confident the date won't change now. Wolves would have heavily qualified their publicity if the date of the home leg was in any doubt.

 

[Finch3d]

For me on the website I clicked Tickets and then had to click the another Tickets tab on the top right, which then showed me the Europa Tickets option. This always happens with none League games... always seems hard to locate the correct page. Why not just have a link on the home ticket page...?

Got mine woop! cant wait for my first Europe game ever!

Dates confirmed

 

[Pitbull]

How odd

On the website ticket page it keeps saying no events and I can't see another option for Europa League tickets

Checked on the App and they were listed and available. Got my tickets now so happy

 

[Padraig]

No smartcards! Annoying

 

[Sammy Chungs Tracksuit]

Seem to be quite a few issues with the ticketing system today.

(1) Tickets not showing as available on the main ticketing web site as advertised
(2) Tickets are available to order via the app as advised by Pitbull - so I ordered and paid for "Print at Home" (smartcard upload not available)
(3) No confirmation email received with "Print At Home" attached tickets - usually they come through within a couple of minutes max
(4) Unable to contact the ticket office by phone - no call queueing system and just get cut off with a message to phone back later.

All in all the ticketing system seems to be a bit of a shambles today.

Has anyone ordered "Print at Home" tickets and actually received a confirmation email today or is it just me?

Still waiting for my print-at-home tickets email too.

 

[wolvesultra]

If you're going through the main ticket site its not under home tickets etc its under 'reserved tickets' you then select. Its always that way for STHs reserving their seat.

I suppose their reasoning is your not effectively buying a seat you're reserving your own seat only. Could be made a lot more clear though.

 

[Callum McLeish]

Still waiting for my print-at-home tickets email too.

Guessing that print at home will be sent once opponents are confirmed? Whilst they could send a TBC perhaps they want to wait until they know. I have also selected this option and purely guessing.

Think they say to wait up to 24 hours for print at home tickets to appear, I wouldn't worry.

Usually when the phone lines are really busy you don't even get a chance to get into the queue. My advice would be to call tomorrow after the main rush is over.

[Deleted member 4453]

Haven't had a confirmation email either, I picked the ticket sent out option.

Luckily screenshotted the confirmation page, so will chase it up later.
