Conference league final tickets

Caterham said:
Just out of interest because I don't think its going to make much difference to anything but -
I have 3,250 Parish points, Yesterday I renewed my ST+, so according to the blurb, I will be credited 750 PP "Sometime" - I looked this morning & so far it hasn't happened, I wonder if I will have them credited before the tickets go on sale for the Europa Conference Game in Leipzig - if so it might put me in a slightly earlier phase (4000 PP) & increase the possibility of ticket through the club -

Oh well if anything happens I will let you know because for sure others will be in similar situations / thinking the same.

I'm in a similar position but tbh unfortunately I don't think they credit the points until the new season starts when the season tickets are sent out. I'm sure that was the case last season. Fingers crossed for you that they are though.

Unlike the FA Cup it appears that paying for the additional ST+ no longer gives any benefit for boosting people up the allocation.

Would be great if we could have a crystal ball to see how many Parish points are needed to secure a ticket from the 11.5k allocation. Also, in what phases they sell them. We all have to bear in mind too that together with ST holders with many points there will also be Gold Members with alot of points that take precedence over ST holders with less points.

Absolutely -

On the points credited thingy - from my point of view, I have paid in full for the ticket so I might be in a better position to receive them, but as u say, I am unlikely to benefit if they haven't actually issued the ST yet & wont do until a few hours b4 the first game of the new season.

I do wonder what our allocation will be, earlier someone was suggesting it might be as high as 18,000, a few days ago someone mentioned 15,000, your saying 11,500 so hopefully no one else posts with a yet lower number - lol

The season ticket + thingy - I missed the semi final against Villa, was overseas & my flight landed at Heathrow about an hour b4 kick off, so , knowing this (the trip had been in the diary for weeks) I didn't even bother to see if I could get a ticket, just pleased to be able to get home in time to watch it on the TV, so I don't know if the ST + advantage was applied to the Semi's or just for the final ?
Also the Semis was a one match affair at Wembley so it doesn't really compare to this European thingy -
So - Just maybe the + Advantage will be applied to this final too (assuming we get there)

For sure there are plenty of worthy causes, that need to be considered, fans with bucket loads of points / attendance records more than me - so whatever way they allocate them I can live with - ( Steve P if your reading this remember how gracious I was over this)

For me the real kicker is that if I had a higher number of points I would have more confidence to go ahead & book flights / trains (which are non cancellable / refundable) I have at least got a hotel in Leipzig booked (no deposit / cancellable up until a few days b4 the final)

Will definitely be 11,500 to each club. This is the official quote from UEFA:

"2026 UEFA Conference League final on 27 May in Leipzig, Germany

The 2026 UEFA Conference League final will take place on 27 May at 21:00 CEST at Leipzig Stadium in Leipzig, Germany.

33,200 out of 39’700 tickets are available directly for fans and the general public to purchase. The two finalists will receive 11,500 tickets each, while the remaining tickets are sold to fans worldwide via UEFA.com/tickets. Successful applicants will be able to purchase up to two tickets."

Would be great to know how many eligible fans are in each phase ie how many ST holders with 11k+ pounts & Away ST holders, how many with 10k+ points, 8k points etc etc.

For the SD semi the 2000 allocation got down to 7k+ points before being sold out.

I feel your pain as the longer you wait the more the flights go up in price.

"For the SD semi the 2000 allocation got down to 7k+ points before being sold out." Useful info. Hopefully non ST holders or fans with lower loyalty points will get a chance at buying a ticket too.

Booked flight to Frankfurt and then train from Frankfurt Airport to Leipzig, booked a while ago along with accommodation, just hoping that I will get a ticket when they become available.

I honestly dont think that getting a ticket for the final will be a big issue as it is going to cost a lot for people to get there (not to mention however much uefa are going to charge for the tickets themselves),. Cant honestly see a scenario where a season ticket holder with a few thousand points wont be able to get one as its now reaching the point where its probably not possible to go for under £500 (inc travel, accomodation and ticket) unless you go by coach and/ or sleep on a bench. Im more worried we’ll lose on Thursday
 
Like others, I’m in the nervous position of Gold Member with 4500 points so on the edge.

I do feel that for those who are desperate to go, they will get in there somehow. The game is during half term so many will have holidays already booked. It will be an expensive trip - likely £750 by the time you factor in travel, hotel, boozing, food, tickets. Some just can’t afford it.

Some Palace fans already have tickets via UEFA so won’t need one in the Palace section. Many of the UEFA tickets will have been bought by fans from other clubs, so they will likely become available. It’s midweek and requires two days off work.

I know a few Palace fans who are disinterested in The Conference League so won’t go. The demand won’t be anything like the FA Cup final

Bought 2 tickets today, category 1, my wife won't come with me, it appears...so I will be definitely selling one. Maybe even both, when the price is right. I am 6 hours away by train from Leipzig, which is not that bad. Flight is out of the question, more expensive flying there from Vienna than flying to Asia at this point. lol

Hello, would definitely be interested in one if you haven’t sold it yet.

Thanks Wacky - Much appreciated
 
Do we think there is any chance that holding your nerve with the travel might provide more options once we are confirmed as finalists? As in they might potentially add more flights to accomodate demand?

It seems like at the moment the options are either pay a fortune to get anywhere close to Leipzig, get a flight somewhere else in Europe and then have hours on a train, or spend 20+ hours on a coach hungover. Don't massively fancy any of them.

I'd be more worried that they cancel flights due to jet fuel reserves 🫣🫣🫣

UK airlines to be allowed to cancel flights in advance over fuel shortages

Ministers hope move would help avoid last-minute flight cancellations for passengers this summer over Middle East fuel supplies.

I've booked a flight to Frankfurt from Heathrow that lands at 11.05am, does anyone know how long roughly it will it take me to get through customs, etc and get to the train station at the airport?

Can see there's a train at 11.45 but looks like there is a couple of changes including a 17 min walk to another station.

Assuming the better bet is to go for ones at 12.36 or 12.41 which also include changes but not changing stations or just wait for the 13.02 which is direct to Leipzig.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

No doubt sods law will come into play -
If you book the 11.45 train there will be delays and queues at the airport, so u will be constantly on edge right up to the point when u miss the train - if u book the 13.02 everything will go smoothly and u will be on the platform in plenty of time to wave the 11.45 on its way -

If it was me, I would just book the 13.02, wander through the entry process in whatever time it takes, relax and maybe enjoy a beer in the airport bar, taking comfort from knowing the 13.02 is a direct train service to Leipzig.

I land at 09:30 and have gone for the 11:00 train direct from Frankfurt Airport to Leipzig. There are a few direct trains.

Going by previous European trips since the changes, it has taken me around 30 mins to get through immigration but it all depends on the queues.

Have you worked out how to get from airport to main train station and how long etc?

Hi mate

The train station is built into the airport .
looking at online vids it looks a 10 min walk as you want the long distance side
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) has two train stations located at Terminal 1: the Fernbahnhof (long-distance, Floor 3)
