Ok, cheers Jjjack. I suppose we'll just have to be patient to see if it changes to the number we applied for.

I suspect that just means we've been successfully entered into the ballot.

Can’t argue with that, personally I just hate going there so I’ve not even tried, weirdly it’s just the one game I’d rather miss.
Having said that, if my mates got me a ticket I’ll still go 😂
Same here. Each to their own but I hate that place. Just got our Rotherham tickets - with no fuss at all - and already looking forward to a balmy evening in sunny South Yorkshire.

Well, but you have to remember that when we had the ballot for tickets for the Liverpool game straight after COVID, it said that if you ended up with a ticket

So it does sound promising

Those that go shouldn't spend a single penny in the ground, leave them paying catering staff that don't sell anything, leave them to throw food and beer away and paying for programmes that haven't been bought, it's a small win but will cost them around 15k

I am just short of 6000 points, as all my many away matches, over the years, count for little.

Whilst I understand my chances for this one would be miniscule, even with 6000 points, I resent 2 and 4 tickets going to 1 6000 point earner and continue to feel for all those who support mainly at away matches, who could never achieve 6000 points.

The ladt thing i want to see are people with hardly any recognised support gaining tickets, for such a match.

The club have seriously arsed this up but no one is getting more than one ticket. All people on an application needed 6,000 points, not just one of them.

It was obvious that when it went to a ballot that some who have just over 6000 points would get it, and that some with loads more wouldn't

Unless there are changes to how loyalty points accumulate (I've 9520) then the ballot will become the norm when we have restricted away capacity

No it doesn't but a ballot goes against the loyalty system - a system that they clearly report on the club's website will be used for ALL away games and will change in terms of points required for small allocations/big demand etc.

They also had the option of looking at how many away tickets purchased this season.

Isn’t it called a “Loyalty points system” that we use?

Then the biggest game of the season comes along, and there is no difference between 6,000 & 11,000+ points.

Why didn’t they just start sales at 12,000 reducing daily?

I think we should be directed our ire at the bastards

They go on about wanting to maximise the chances for them winning but are happy to hand out twice as many tickets to Coventry and Norwich, which makes it even more obvious that they just can't handle 7000 clarets celebrating in front of them

Its a massive own goal for them, makes them look absolutely classless and shows they haven't dealt at all well with us being consistently better than them for about a decade

The ballot is a complete farce.

I found out yesterday I have over 8,000 points. The reason I didn't know until yesterday is because I haven't been to an away match since Leeds last season and I was getting a ticket for Rotherham. The idea I could have just cast a stone in for the Rovers game with people who've been to every away this season and people who always go to every away is absolutely ridiculous. They should know exactly how many people have how many points and set thresholds accordingly.

It's two wrongs not making a right. Rovers making a decision out of cowardice doesn't change Burnley making one out of incompetence.
