I see the ballot for the Dortmund game opens today closing at 10am on Monday.According to the clubs' website those entering can select a price category that best suits their needs but you can't apply for tickets in more than one price category, presumably this may change for future matches over time

Just as a complete aside, I've just entered the ballot for Euro 2024 tickets, which allows you to click a category but also say you'd be happy to go a category higher or lower to maximise your chances. Not a bad system, though when the bands are €30, €60, then €150 for not much better seats I didn't risk going middle and getting pushed to the higher one. My ballot record says I have no chance anyway...

Back on topic, Man Utd League Cup tickets are £40 which is absolutely disgusting.

Great news!

I can't make the Palace game but I'm in the ballot for Dortmund so hopefully that'll be 6th time lucky for me although I did manage to get a ticket for Burnley last minute in the resale.

Just out of interest how many on here have been in the ballots and how successful have you been?

I've been in five ballots so far without getting a single ticket. <grr>

0/2 so far, though that's Wembley and Sheffield Utd away, not a home member one.

November/December will be my first effort...not paid for a membership yet as it runs for 12 months so no need to pay for it until right before I want to enter a ballot.

20% chance is far better odds than it was last season, the new system is definitely fairer.

Any sign of that bonus coming through? 😉

Hate to tell you this but membership is seasonal according to the clubs' terms & conditions.

I managed to get tickets for three games last season although I can't remember how many I tried to get so, for me, the old system was better although not necessarily fairer!
