Thomas Cook is up now - £559, just got our three booked on that

Am I right in thinking if you don’t get a ticket they cancel you and you are not charged?

Yeah, that's the one.  Listed as a pending booking until the ballot and tickets are confirmed

That's my reading of it.

If you book two places and only one gets a ticket they cancel both, unless you put them through individually and link them after.

Might wait as well but might sell out, plus it says they will be overbooking and packages allocated as they qualify for tickets so we're likely to be at the back of the queue anyway.

Yup. I would individually book via Thomas Cook if that's your only option otherwise a few got cancelled in Kiev and had to beg for a seat.

Don't think we'd go unless both of us were going, or rather I wouldn't go on my own without my lad but he'd probably go on his own without a second thought!

How are you getting back? Flights getting there seem to be fairly OK - coming back is another issue  ;D. I booked a £170 direct to Madrid via Air Europa (seems sold out now). Coming back. F&ck knows.


Shining my Bat-Signal for Kesey to arrive with a suggested detour  ;D :scarf
I’m watching Netherlands and England in Portugal on the Wednesday, I already had a flight from Madrid to Porto on the Tuesday booked, quite lucky really!

Not sure about that, my Dad missed out in the ballot last year but my flight was still confirmed for Kyiv

London to Gibraltar return is £130ish

All you would need to do is hire a car and drive to Madrid and back. Me and 5 other mates doing this.

Just had a message from world choice sports. The absolute c*nts who fucked me over last time. Asking for £700 quid for flights. I'd advise nobody to book with the corrupt twats.

We will get around 1/4of the ground (1/4 Spurs/Ajax and 1/2 to UEFA/Ballot/Partners/Locals etc).

has anyone ever returned tickets for the CL final and an extra sale?

Capacity is: 67 k(Kiev was 70k)
We got just under 16.6k tickets, so we should get around 16k this time

My friend lives near Malaga so thinking to fly to his and hire a camper van for the weekend and park somewhere in/close to Madrid... has anyone ever done anything similar?!

Ah, this sounds like an amazing idea. Wish I'd seen it before I booked flights to Santander and trains down. Was relatively cheap though so can't complain.

Edit: I don't mean coming with you, just love the idea of flying and then getting a camper.  ;D

From the Thomas Cook site:

All supporters on your travel application must have an official match ticket in order for the full application to be confirmed.  Any applications where any supporter does not have a match ticket will be cancelled in their entirety.  Therefore, if you want your application to be considered individually, please make individual applications.

Went to have a look at flights from London this morning and as you can imagine its gone up to stupid numbers!

Anyone tried flying to somewhere and then getting train to Madrid or bus?

Yes. Got return to Malaga £150. Ryanair out and Jet 2 coming back. You can hire a car very cheap at Malaga (6 hour drive) or get a train from Malaga to Madrid (about 2.75 hours).

I read this saying if you register two names and only one gets lucky in the ballot, both places are cancelled.  Is this right?

Yes, all names on the booking need to be successful for the booking to stand (also assuming at that point there are spaces left on their flights)

Anyone know if places such as guadalajara, Cuenca, Segovia or Toldeo are decent commutes via train to madrid?
all of them are doable but I would imagine you'd get the best luck with Toledo. Constant trains between the two of them as many people commute between them for work. Failing that Segovia would then be best id imagine
