Ballot system?

Looking to hit up the Bees/Man City game when I’m in town the end of May. Any one know how hard the ballot system is for tickets?

I can imagine this is one game everyone will want to see.
City could be Champions before the Kick off or they could win it that day .
And Haaland could be playing and it will be a historical day at the mighty Gtech Stadium.
Good luck with trying to get a ticket let alone 2.
I wish you all the best in that.
I have 4 and I will not give mine up for anything as I want to witness what will unfold on that day.

Yes, I know it’s going to be a tough ticket. I was moreso interested in info as to how the balloting system works for overseas fans! Unfortunately this is the only time we can take a trip to London (from Florida).

The ballot system requires a lot of good luck and, unless I am wrong, overseas fans will be lumped in together.
You may get lucky and drawn out.
You may not and will have to wait for another day.
First though is buy a membership.
Then go and register an interest with the club regarding this game.
Sit and wait for a response from BFC.
Do not be surprised if they want a minimum 40 TAPs and that is to award the fans who have already attended a fixture.
You are buying a membership to win a ticket.
Technically it is a raffle.


Like I have said good luck with a game that thousands will want to see so you will not be alone and trying to get a ticket.
I can imagine thousands of members trying to get the last handful of tickets.
 

Ballot system?

Last seasons last game (Leeds), there was an extra condition, you’ve had to attend at least one home-game during the season, don’t know if it will be the same coming May.

It could be.
How many City fans will want to be in the ground?
Thousands and if I was one then I would want to be in the ground and would now be a member and attended a handful of games including Real Betis and Gillingham.

We didn’t have the minimum TAPS then like we do this season.

Really do suggest you get a membership as first step.
You’ve gotta be in it to win it.
Until you do that I don’t think you are entitled to any help on here or from the club.
There are 20,000+ who have stumped up for a membership or STH.
Why would you expect to be ahead of any of them ?

The best way to get tickets for the Man City game is to put on your best London accent and walk up on the day. They will recognise you as one of their own and you can walk through.

Does anyone know how many tickets per game are reserved for bees overseas?
 

Ballot system?

Just wondering if it is worthwhile. I guess it’s better than nothing!
 

Ballot system?

Is there any way to see if the ballot has taken place for a specific game for the Bees overseas member ballot? I wanted to visit for a match this fall, but the only ones I can attend is Liverpool, Newcastle and Leeds and all of them has a TAP requirement so I had to enter the Overseas ballot for a chance to get a ticket for one of these games. A bit hard to plan with flight and hotel when I dont know if Im one of the lucky ones and its get closer and closer to the game.

I agree it's not exactly tailored to the requirements of an overseas fan having to plan travel etc., but you must also be aware that the match can change KO date and time due to TV.

The best place to get your specific question answered is [email protected]

However there are NO TAP requirements for the Newcastle and Leeds games.

Not exactly tailored for domestic fans either with all these fixture changes out to scupper people trying to book trains/flights/hotels in advance so they don't get ripped off!

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post. Coming from over the pond and hoping to get tickets to Brighton Away. Any opinion on how in demand the away end will be.

SAT 3PM should be in demand. Might have to enter the ballot.

Probably sell out to season ticket holders first so member ballot is the likely only way in.

Have you applied for tickets as an international member? Or does that apply to just home games?

If so 10% of tickets are reserved for members......

I think the overseas ballot is only for home matches, and I already have an application in for Burnley at home for the following week. Appreciate the help and response. I will be back for pub recommendations if I get this sorted out.
