Hi all, if you are planning to apply for Liverpool FC match tickets through LFC Vancouver for next season, please read the following information carefully.
Important Notice: Changes to LFC Official Membership & Branch Ticketing for 2011/12.
As part of their continued work to improve access to the Club for our international supporters, Liverpool FC has surveyed some of our international branches and their members to understand what they would like from both their Official Supports Club and LFC Official Membership.
Our Official Supporters Clubs provide a valuable service to our loyal LFC Supporters living in the area, and we will continue to promote our Official Supporters Clubs, so that Members can benefit from coming together with local fans for social events and to access match tickets.
The feedback they received was overwhelmingly in favour of the Club introducing a new Official International Membership Scheme so that international fans could feel closer to the Club.
They also felt the name ALL RED was confusing and wasn’t required in relation to the LFC Membership Scheme.
In response to this feedback, Liverpool FC is pleased to announce they will be launching LFC Official International Membership on 6th June, for 2011-12 season. International Members will receive the following benefits:
• Exclusive membership pack containing a personalised Membership Card, USB stick with Members Only content and footage, plus and an LFC silver branded pen
• Monthly e-newsletter with Member only exclusive interviews and behind the scenes footage
• 3 months free trial of LFCTV Online
• Team news and information sent before all Barclays Premier League home games
• 10% off retail in our online shop and in any LFC official club store
• 40% off LFC Weekly subscription
• 30% off LFC programme subscription
• 10% off official LFC books
• 20% off all Legends Tours & the Anfield Stadium Tour & Museum
• 10% off Anfield Experience and Ultimate Anfield Experience
• Discounts and offers from partners and other club products plus more…
The cost of LFC Official International Membership will be £18.99. Please note: there is no individual ticketing benefit with International Membership. International Members will only be able to access ticket through their local Official Supporters Club Branch or by purchasing Adult/Junior UK Official Membership.
For the 2011/2012 season there are two important changes to Policy which will affect the way that our Branches manage their ticket allocation for Barclays Premier League Home Games.
1. Following feedback from Branches regarding receiving/distributing tickets to your Members and handling refunds or reprints for lost tickets, beginning 2011/12 season, all paper match tickets will be replaced by smart cards. This will also support the Club's aim to remove paper tickets at Anfield and improve the Club’s ticket administration.
2. All Branch members wanting to attend matches will be required to join LFC Official Membership. On purchasing a ticket through a Branch allocation, Members will have their individual Membership smart cards activated to gain access to the Stadium when attending a match at Anfield.
The new process for ticket allocation for the first half season 2011/2012 will be as follows:
1. Liverpool Football Club will advise those Branches which have requested tickets the maximum number of tickets per Barclays Premier League home game that they may be allocated.
2. Liverpool Football Club will provide an online form for completion by the Branch which will require a Membership Number for each person requesting a ticket.
3. Tickets will be put on reserve for each of the Members.
4. Payment will be requested from the Branch 4 weeks before each individual match
5. A single payment will be required, made to LFC via bank transfer or card payment
6. Once payment is cleared, the Membership Card of those Members who have requested tickets will be activated for entry.
7. Individual Members will be emailed with details of their seat number
8. Members MUST bring their own Membership Card to the Match in order to gain entry into the stadium. There will be a £10.00 fee to reissue seat details and these will only be released on proof of identity.
We thank you for your continued support and would ask that you make your potential requirement known to us as soon as possible so that we can advise the Club by return.
So if you are planning to attend any matches next season you will need to contact Liverpool FC from 1st June to sign up for your Membership Card. Once you have your card please let us at LFC Vancouver know your card number ASAP as we cannot apply for tickets without it, as they will activate your card if they are able to grant your ticket request. As it has been in previous seasons, The Liverpool Football club ticket office cannot guarantee that all applications will be granted but they will do their best to satisfy as many ticket request as possible, based on demand from the other supporters clubs around the world who may also be applying for the same games.
Liverpool FC have also given us a deadline of July 4th to have our ticket requests in to them, so as soon as the fixtures come out you need to let us know as soon as you can. If you ask us to apply for tickets after July 4th, your requests cannot be granted.
If you have any questions please let me know and I will do my best to get you an answer promptly.
