Topic: The European Cup Final...again!

[Spongebob Redpants]

Did it last year and on tc website you had to put your details in and the name of the person whos card your trying to buy on. Once match tickets have been sold they then contact the club with the fan card numbers to confirm they got a ticket.
Last year I had 3 mates in the ballot and just used one of there card numbers unfortunately he didn't get a match ticket but one of the others did. When TC phoned me saying that card number hadn't qualified I Told them that another one had and I'd bought with that, they rang the club to see if it had and my details were on it. Within a hour TC emailed me to say all was confirmed and the flight details.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice - much appreciated . Same for all the other TC responses .

I'll be going by myself too mate, would be good to meet up

Definitely meet mate, once more details about the fan park have emerged we’ll organise something. Could be worth having a thread for all those wanting to meet up?

If I make it I'd definitely be up for a meet up as I'd be on my own. Chances that I get to go are probably 50-50 as I'm currently in hospital recovering from an operation and can't get out of bed until the middle or end of the week. Have a flight booked though and will do everything I can to spend the day in Madrid and watch the final there with some fellow reds...

Wishing you a speedy recovery mate, hope you can make it!

Naby you'd be most welcome.

Staying in the Malasana area of Madrid, it's meant to be the Bo-Ho area of Madrid, so am going dressed as set of Helena Bonham Carter's tits.

It's very cosmopolitan round there Chops.

[stevienash]

Does anyone on here have a spare Madrid to Malaga train ticket for the 7.35am train on the Sunday? The company who i booked with has issued me my Saturday train ticket but can’t issue the Sunday ticket. My flight home is at 12.15 on the Sunday afternoon.

With out that ticket whole trip goes up in smoke..

Hoping someone can help

Failing that does someone need a flight from Malaga to Bristol on the sunday taking off at 12.10pm

[L8Craig]

Is anyone on the Malaga - Edinburgh flight on the Sunday night and making their way back to the north west?
My dad and two brothers are looking for a lift and willing to put money towards fuel if anyone can help.

Not about what you're asking about, but how are they getting from Malaga / Madrid and back?

[BCCC]

I love reading these threads when we're in a European final. Great to see the ingenuity in piecing the travel together, we're fuckin brilliant at it.

Safe journey and no matter how outrageous your route you'll meet other reds along the way.

See you in London or maybe Southampton, possibly Bordeaux and certainly Madrid.

Up the Reds!

[rakey_lfc]

When do you lucky enough to be in the ballot find out whether you're successful for tickets?

I have cosmopolitanism, popping out of my arse, I'll have you know............


.......plus my Helena Bonham Carter, tit dress.

Antone who goes, I hope they get a ticket.

I'm sure you do, but, there will be there who don't. Shitter that.

Don't you have to have so many previous fixtures on your cards etc. to enter the ballot in the first place?

[L8Craig]

Train mate. Came to £120 return each.

Yes, but thanks to priority rights, shitehawk touts and the even bigger shitehawks in UEFA family, as with Spurs - how many as a percentage of those in the ground will truly deserve a ticket compared to the poor lad stuck outside without a ticket?

[ScubaSteve]

Priority rights is an absolute joke..how someone can possibly be guaranteed home cup games, semi final and final tickets for life because you held a couple of shares. How stupid where the previous American owners for offering that!!!

This should’ve expired when new owners came in

At least make them eligible for the most expensive seats only

Does anyone know any rights holders? I’d assume most would’ve been/still big fans of club or were most just typical traders? Thing is it lasts until they die so it’s gonna be a generation or two before this fully passes out

Few on here I believe

Certainly remember it being discussed

Is what it is. They’re entitled under the rules so fair play

Don’t know what the score is if they qualify through a membership too. Do they get to buy twice?

Id assume if they have an acting qualified membership/ST they would be in ballot. They would need it for league games so. Yes all fair play in the end and like I said I’d assume most would still be fans unless Hodgson really scared them off

Ah yeah see your point. I thought your were implying that anyone can enter the ballot.  I do agree though, 67,000 capacity and only 32,000 allocated to the clubs is utter bullshit. I don’t know how these touts get hold of them, UEFA must be supplying them.

Can’t imagine the heartbreak of going to every game and then missing out for the final. Least in my position I can accept not going because I’ve been to no European games this season and therefore don’t really deserve to go.

We don’t get a second ticket if we are a member/fancard holder
I’m a priority rights holder (and season ticket holder) but qualify anyway because I go to every home game and several aways. Recent sales for ‘us’ were restricted to the expensive tickets so I’ll have a look tomorrow but will probably be buying a ticket in the 7+ sale anyway.

Fair play

On that note do we think all the cheap seats will go in the firs 7+ sale or will they hold some back for the ballot?

Not sure, but I reckon they will keep a spread.

Thanks for this, interesting enough

hope so!! Difference between a £1k trip and a £2k trip really to see the same 22 players!! madness

[RainbowFlick]

Anyone see someone had pasted a bunch of business cards around Anfield asking for people to sell him/them tickets? I presume they're touts themselves by the look / wording of them.

Thanks for the feedback, good to know!

Me and my wife will go with car from Slovenia - 20h drive

still don't have room in madrid, maybe will try in camp.

I was handed one outside the ground from a Spanish Fella it was a slip of paper that was asking for help in supplying Liverpool Fans from Madrid with tickets. The cheek of these touts is unreal

[nickyd186]

Not sure, but I reckon they will keep a spread.

Last year they said they would have all cats available for all sales but haven't mentioned it in the selling arrangements this year.
 I know loads complained to the club last year In the guaranteed sale about having travelled home and away to support the team and having to buy dearer seats than people in the ballot

[Caston]

People without accommodation... will anyone be sleeping in a hire car/car Saturday night/morning? Any issues with that by the police or anything?

We were originally intending to sleep in a hire car after driving up from Alicante but we ended up getting a hotel in Madrid today on booking.com for £87 each. Cheaper accommodation has been popping up there but it goes as quickly as it appears.

I'm not 100% sure on this but I read on one of the facebook groups you can get fined €150 by police for sleeping in a car on the street.

Cat 4 seats far better than Kiev

http://webapp.nuevoestadiovirtualatleticodemadrid.com/

[evanz89]

All tickets should be available in the first sale. Those who qualify have been to a minimum of one euro away already this season and most of us a lot more than that. I’d be annoyed if someone who’s been to 6 homes gets a £60 ticket when I’ve got all homes and nearly all aways this season and end up paying hundreds.

All cat's will be available in the first sale; always are.

[Andy_lfc]

Good to know there’s gonna be plenty of other reds travelling by themselves, I thought as much anyway. We’ll have to organise a meet up point when we know more about the fan park situation.

Also traveling alone without a ticket and under no illusions about picking one up - I'm only in Madrid for 18 hours or so but would be interested in any meet ups and where to watch the game.

[redgriffin73]

I think he means that all the available Cat 4 tickets should be available, rather than holding some back.
