Not a bad idea <laugh> Tho I don't think away points for members are a thing now (not that any member can ever get to an away game usually).

Bargain! Accommodation cheap as **** there too at this time of year <laugh>
Trouble is that it's my turn to drive! <laugh>

Just to gripe, the club now charge £5 for the privilege of transferring a Champions League ticket. Bring back paper.

I see that Arsenal are offering fans who buy a ticket for the League Cup final the option of buying a souvenir printed ticket at a cost of £5.95.

I think we got lucky, it was all paper tickets last year so presume it's just switched?

Same. Will try and get on it - is it 10am? And if I remember did you say it doesn't matter if you try and log in beforehand?
It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

Yes, opens at 10am and that's when you're allocated your place in the queue so I tend to log in about 10 minutes before. I've logged in on both laptop and phone and there can be a great variation in the queue numbers.

Queue no 115586 on mobile and 3635 on laptop and logged in the same time on each. 12 people in front of me when the sold out message appeared, absolutely gutted!

I'll keep looking up until the weekend of the game, you never know one might pop up.

I'm a bit short of funds so waiting (hoping) for Barcelona at home...

I'm in Edinburgh when the Sunderland game is on, did consider Man City in the FA Cup as probably more chance of a ticket but if I did that I couldn't afford to possibly do a CL game.

I've got tickets for Qarabag, Everton and Man U this week so, for my marriages' sake, might give Man City a miss as Chelsea/Barcelona is the following midweek.

Gutted that I missed out on Sunderland but, as I say, you never know when one will pop up so I'll keep trying.

Unsuccessful in the Barcelona ballot (shock <laugh> ).

Lost count of how many I’ve failed in now, but it’s a 0% success rate and won’t be bothering buying a membership next year.

Yeah I'm not bothering either. Maybe I'll renew if the stadium capacity increases or they build a new one.
