£3.50!Originally Posted by Alfonso Perez
I blame modern football
There is an obvious problem here.
At £3.50 many will buy a ticket with no intention of going.
Doesn't that make a joke of the loyalty system.

Exactly. I was under the impression it would be easy to get a ticket for this one. I booked Air travel and hotel already. I am in Stage 3, (two aways) so at £3.50 per ticket I got no chance I reckon. There is some talk of maybe having a 'pick the ticket up in Serbia', which would deter people buying them up to gain loyalty points. But I am not optimistic on that one.There is an obvious problem here.

It does seem odd and not particularly fair.
I have 3 aways and that only qualifies me for Stage Two.
This appears to be a popular game so on that basis I would expect a large proportion of those who have travelled regularly in the past to go. Although I cannot speak for everyone, I go to the majority of away games myself & virtually all of the regulars I know are going to Serbia (& also Moldova & Georgia).There is an obvious problem here.

I know that some people have been voicing concerns similar to yours to Corky & he mentioned that the FSF will discuss with the FAW at a forthcoming meeting (I think that he said it's on Friday). The FAW could maybe look to invoke checks to ensure that this scenario doesn't happen & personally I would not have an issue with this as long as it was not too onerous. That said if results drop off I would expect it to be a temporary measure as I would guess that a fair number of those now wanting tickets will drift away & we will return to having few issues as far as away tickets are concerned.
Stage 1 only requires 4 out of the last 9 away games so you don't have to have been the most avid of fans to qualify, although I can certainly understand frustrations if people cannot get tickets as a result of those higher up the pecking order buying them & not going. If it can be proved that this is a common issue then I am in favour of something being done to prevent it.
Do you really think 2,200 people will go?
I don't.
I think tickets might sell as they are so cheap and people will get a tick in the box for buying one. But as far as actually travelling I'd be really surprised if that many went.
This discussion has been ragging on the welsh forum for months, i don't see it myself. Had this game come before Ireland maybe....but to bump up your away points for either Moldavia or Georgia i doubt it.There is an obvious problem here.

If by some mad piece of luck we actually get to a play off situation i am sure the FA will make sure that allocations goes to those most loyal and they'll be able to see if 2000 odd tickets were sold and 400 turned for those with cheap tickets and change the criteria to more aways.
Sounds like it's going to be a cracking trip.
2,200 tickets...below we see the only entrance gate, no turnstiles and everyone will be searched on entry and no coins or small objects will be allowed in( women need to remember last time when all their make up was confiscated) There are currently no refreshments available once inside although we are negotiating with the Serbia FA...we know it will be very hot that time of year and at least water should be provided.
The slant in the stand we occupy is very steep and its possible to fall forward quite a few rows especially after you have had a few lol...there are no barriers to stop this.
We are fenced in both sides and there is a moat at the front which prevents aaccess to the pitch, evacuation of that stand with 2,200 fans in will take approx 20 minutes which is way too long.

tree fiddy tho
"Well, it was about that time that I notice that Serbian centre back was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era."
Trust me it's an improvement on the ground from our last trip to Serbia
The last time we went there they took pens, ciggie lighters, ladies perfumes and anything else that could be deemed a missile off of us.
Frigging mayhem.
Tickets now sold out after reaching Stage 4 which means that all of those travelling to Serbia who have attended 2 out of the last 9 away games were able to purchase a ticket & some (around 200 I believe) who attended 1/9 were also able to get a ticket. Some people were anxious about the loyalty system being unfair & open to abuse so hopefully this will alleviate some of those concerns.
It is great to see so many travelling to Belgrade & hopefully we can cheer the team onto a much needed victory!
There's a few of us going out there without tickets, not faw members etc , we might go in with the home supporters or we might save the £3.50 entrance fee and buy four pints with it instead as I'm now informed the beer out there sells for as little as 80p a pint!
