European away games ticketing policy

And for the umpteenth time I am not suggesting a change to the system which some of you are so happy with cos it rightly gives you the chance to get tickets when previously you missed out. I am just suggesting methods which will avoid hours wasted and expense picking up tickets prior to the game !
 
They can't sell them on if name / supporter number is printed on ticket and a passport needs to be produced to gain entry .
Sounds good but where do we have to produce our passports hope to God it's not while we're being kettled and pushed around in a free for all by the Spanish police.
 
Madrid away,, semi final.

5 check points. Only had to show my wristband at the first one, I think?

The stewards and police were more interested in seeing my ticket.

I would suggest a city steward at each entrance, unless the home clubs stewards are willing and able.
 
Here's one.

Just rang up about a Barcelona away ticket. First 3 blocks on sale. Whether it's true or not, I was told we have been given 7900 tickets. If true, it's going to be interesting collecting those tickets, but more so getting into the ground. Last time I remember big queues, pushing, people getting squashed, and it being a shambles trying to get into the ground, with the police and stewards ill prepaired for such a big away following.

4600 according to official site ! Still plenty to cause collection and entry problems, let's see what the Club says tomorrow

Fair enough.

The person at the ticket agency via City's phone number was obviously talking s*** then.
 
Just out of interest.

Does anyone know if something similar happens with visiting fans at our ground? Or do they just turn up with a ticket after spending the day in the city centre?
