Having never really had a season ticket, I am kinda clueless when it comes to this.

Im looking to get a season ticket, or maybe half season (if thats possible?), or even just a few match tickets for Anfield, aka Liverpool. I live in Leicester, so going up Liverpool every home game may not be possible.

How do I go about getting these? Do I need to apply first before I can go ahead and buy them?

Anyone here have season tickets for Liverpool? how did you do it?

(p.s try and avoid the usual, why support them etc etc ;))

I have had a season ticket at Anfield and have had it since I was a kid.

There is a very very very (read not going down at all) long waiting list for season tickets at Anfield and you will not get one for some time. You can apply to be on the waiting list I think but that is about as close as you will get as people just do not give them up. They are always renewed and then rented out to friends or other family members. Last time I spoke to someone at the club they said they had not had anyone not renew a season ticket for over 3 years.

Your best bet if you want tickets at Anfield is to join the priority ticket scheme (I think even that is full!) or get a fancard and phone up for tickets at the first opportunity as both of these give you a slight priority over people without them.

Hope this helps
 
If it's for any of the big clubs, you basically sign away all your money, your vital organs and your soul, and then the club tells you to wait where you are for about ten years until a space pops up.
 
If you only want to go to a few games a season then phoning up/applying by post or being a member of PTS is the best way to get a chance of having tickets.

I think fancards seem to have been abolished now and replaced by the official membership which gives access to the ticket exchange or something.
 
Most of the Premier League teams have an official membership which gives you priority on tickets. Once all the season ticket holders and corporate people have been allocated seats they will be made available to official club members, which still doesn't leave a lot of seats available so if you want to go to a game you have to book quickly!

The official membership will probably be about £20-30 but I think that is a small price to pay for the opportunity to go see the team you support.
 
Personally I think you prob going to have to settle for watching Liverpool away from home. Go to games that don't sell out like Wigan v Liverpool etc or restrict yourself to cup games

That's not a bad shout but you can deffo get tickets for home games if you try hard enough and are prepared to sit on the phone hitting redial.
 
Been on the LFC season ticket waiting list since 2000 for the centenary stand. I had a letter in 2004 saying I was still on the waiting list, but nothing since. Good Luck

Cheers guys, do you think the fancard option would be the best? considering?

Unless you're going to go often then a fancard is a waste of time too.

After season ticket holders, priority ticket scheme tickets and Thomas Cook have taken all their tickets there's very few left and even with a fancard you'd have had to have been to several previous games too.

So unless you're going to go regularly and go to the first few games of the season then you've really not got any chance of getting tickets because after a few games into the season you'd have had to been to previous games to get a ticket.

Every so often if a match is rearranged at fairly short notice, hospitality tickets may become available but you're looking at a minimum of £80 for a ticket. Other than that it's £200+ for a ticket from Thomas Cook and a night in a Travel Inn.

I go to away games (being where I am) far more frequently than home games. In fact I've not been to a home game yet at Ashburton Grove simply because of cost and lack of free tickets.

To the OP, since you're in the middle of country, try get to away games. The Manchester teams, Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton, West Brom, Villa etc.
 
Come to Wigan, only 30 miles north of Liverpool and you can be off the M6 and in town in 25 mins on a match day or take the train and walk down the road.

Tickets are £22-26 for adults.
 
Good Luck getting a season ticket for a top 4 club.
In fact many premiership clubs suffer from long waiting lists.

If you live in Leicester, go and see Leicester, they might not be Liverpool, but they're a good side and it's much easier to get to, and much cheaper. I live in Leicester :p I'm a Sheffield Wednesday season ticket holder however :(

You can even come up to Hillsborough with me ;)
 
^I've found with Red Membership it's fairly easy to get tickets for the Emirates, although obviously for the bigger matches you'd have to get in quick. There's a guarenteed minimum of 1,500 tickets available to Red members so you at least have a chance. I suspect for the Chelsea game for example you'd need to be online hammering the site at 09:30 but I've not had any trouble getting a ticket for 'normal' matches.
