As much as I don't want to be on a coach for that long, this seems like the most simple way to do it. Will need to make sure I can get a ticket to the game to make the coach journey worthwhileCoach is 21 hours from London Victoria to Leipzig train station, 1 transfer...£60, leaves Tuesday morning, come back Thursday morning around £100

Each to their own and better than walking BUT that is one gruelling coach journey.As much as I don't want to be on a coach for that long, this seems like the most simple way to do it. Will need to make sure I can get a ticket to the game to make the coach journey worthwhile

My preference is flight to Prague and a train, the difference between the costs of the two is negligible, so hopefully it'll stay that way until I bookEach to their own and better than walking BUT that is one gruelling coach journey.

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.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.

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

"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.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.
