Cheers to Tim of the Oak for sending the pm.
Email from the club time-stamped 17:36 so around 74 hours after the tickets were bought.
It's not a problem for this game, but for Ajax we stayed in Utrecht for beer and food then went straight to the game, for Schalke we got to the ground quite late due to traffic - and fucking about by some in the group.
I like the idea of disrupting the points whores, but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle for the rest.
As for the slow sale: Current form, high ticket prices for both games, stuffing the points whores, ticket collection fiasco, Paris being in the news for the wrong reasons, it's only the first leg, eligible fans not thinking they could get tickets so not making arrangements. It's a combination of all of these, not just one of them.
