What is a ticket ballot in football?

A random draw clubs use when demand for a game far outstrips the tickets available.

TL;DR

A ticket ballot is a random draw for the chance to buy tickets to a high-demand game. Entry is usually limited to members or fans with enough loyalty points.

What does “Ticket ballot” mean?

Fans register for the ballot during a set period. After it closes, the club draws entries at random and successful fans are invited to buy. Ballots are common for cup finals, big away games and sold-out home fixtures.

How does it relate to football membership?

Ballot entry is often a members-only benefit, and some clubs give extra entries or a separate ballot to higher tiers. Clear rules on who can enter are a strong reason to join or upgrade, especially before a big game.

How Limio helps

Limio lets clubs sell memberships quickly when demand peaks, for example before a cup final ballot, and passes membership status to the ticketing system that runs the draw.
