Topic: Next European Away?

[TeddyTime33]

I don’t remember seeing that part, so if that’s correct I stand corrected. Does anyone know if any of the earlier games. I.e AC Milan backwards to the group games, had the same ?

they all had that exact same message

[russmills10]

Had flights to paris sorted months ago as was already going there but need a good journey back (preferably to near london)- any good routes? Seen Limoges (4 hr journey from paris) to Leeds is £14.99 

[Barry Banana]

Game being on Tuesday sound. Had an early flight back Thursday morning and getting back to Valencia after match was looking a struggle.

Hope you got an okay price from Ryanair.. They're proper wronguns, my flights were £25 to start with, rose to £35 in my basket.
Mate bought his shortly after for £80.
Now they are £200.

40 miles in a taxi from the airport so should be twice as quick as the train but i imagine could be up to 100 Euro. Depends how many of you are splitting it I suppose...

It’s a fiver on the train.

I've got 3 out of these 4:
Atletico Madrid
FC Salzburg
KRC Genk
SSC Napoli

What's my chances do you think for Villarreal?

[tasmichkata]

Qualify on the guaranteed sale.

This is what was published for Atalanta this season

However they did only put 645 on sale

Assuming the same allocation as last time, 2062, you’ll be fine as Salzburg was the 2nd lowest allocation @ 1520.

I think the "exlusive' part of the stadium on that suggests 2062, as discussed earlier would be difficult to split it

[Max100]

2062 will all but guarantee 2 from 19/20

Sound mate 👍

[kevlumley]

This is wha I understand. In the Europa we got 2062. You can actually find that on a search engine. From best of my memory, there were not all 2000+ in that away end. It was busy, but I'm sure it wasn't the full allocation. So whether some bought for loyalty, some didn't make it, the Police stopped some getting in, I can't remember. Coukd have been all of that.

I also can't find the 1100 Bayern rumour,  but if on twitter, OK. I believe there around that number unrestricted view. It was never a great view, behind perspex, but most coukd see the game. I never did Barca, so can't say it's the same, maybe others could comment. But we supported the team,  even Alberto 😁

I think they try to sell all the 1100-1200 unrestricted first. So if ins in, then we might get 2000.

Its a tiny ground, but this is a UCL semi and Villlareal are definitely there on merit.

Hopefully all that want in, get in. It's Spain, its a semi, its an unbelievable season and it will be brilliant.

[redandwhitekuyt]

Correct, thats what i have done, but the limited train times don't suit all the flights back from Valencia so some of our group were looking at taxi price for ease and speed too.

Car hire from Valencia airport was coming in around £60 for 24 hours which wasn't too bad either

[jdirckze]

Spain requires 270 days since your last jab... itll be 272 days for me on 3rd may 

if you get a booster you'll be fine no time restrictions associated with that

[Barry Banana]

ideally they'd be put in the ballot just as part of the overall allocation

UEFA requires that they’re given to most loyal supporters “i.e. longest-serving season ticket-holders, those who attended most away games, etc.”.

They need a way to pick out 5000 people. Even if they went back to Barca it wouldn’t cover it.

well most of those people would be guaranteed with aways or in the ballot anyway so they shouldn't have to enter it then,

My point was that the free tickets unlikely to go into the ballot. So they need a way of selecting 5K people.

giving our ticket office that kind of power, good luck

[redandwhitekuyt]

“UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin today announced that fans of the participating teams at this year's club competition finals will be offered a substantial number of free tickets for these showcase games to reward them for their support for European football during the COVID crisis”

1. A hint that it’s related to people who travelled through covid.

“Each of the finalist clubs will be able to use these tickets to reward their most loyal supporters (i.e. longest-serving season ticket-holders, those who attended most away games, etc.), but these tickets cannot be given to sponsors, partners or club officials.“

2. It then suggests long serving fans


It’s going to be down to club how they want to do it. Probably say that the fans who are guaranteed a ticket will get it free. Any free tickets left will be given to the order they come out in the ballot until the 5k are exhausted.

[red number 9]

I'd probably fall into the first 5000 guaranteed tickets but personally if we reach the final,  I feel the club should use the value of 5k free tickets to subsidise the full allocation.

Let's say it's hypothetically 5000 @ £60ea = £300k, it would reduce price by £15 a ticket based on a 20k allocation.

Whether UEFA would allow them to, or the club could sort themselves out to make it work is another story but feel it would be the fairest approach and drive least argument/resentment amongst the fan base.

I'm sure the club have subsidised tickets before, perhaps when purposely overcharging away fans at a European game to make a point to the opponents having fleeced us in the return leg.  Pretty sure they used the excess to reduce prices for the away leg.  Think United did the same.

the idea is great but UEFA will want the free tickets publicity that they will get by just giving them away Im assuming they will all be Cat 4's

I don't think it's intentions are to specifically reward people who travelled through Covid - it's about continuing to support football even when things were locked down etc.

[sonofkenny]

The Club pushed UEFA to be able to subsidise ticket prices instead of giving 5000 away for free.  The Club has won I believe and most supporters will be getting slightly cheaper tickets now.

[Shanklygates]

So now just dear not extortionate
