Porto (A)
« on: December 11, 2017, 11:59:09 am »
Just awaiting news of dates.

Think Leicester got something like 2,500 tickets...
I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed,
A wound that will not heal, a heart that cannot feel.
Hoping that the horror will recede,
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed.........JUSTICE.

Should be a great one this. Love Porto (and Lisbon for that matter). Annoying they moved the away end from behind the goal though. Side on in the upper tier now.

If flights are looking expensive to Portugal. Have a look at flying to Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain and can either rent a car (2hr30), bus (3hr40) or train/bus (3hr30).

Should be a much cheaper option.

Quote from: Harvest Fields
i watched the chelsea game at my sisters. her 12 year old son is severly autistic and i forgot myself and jumped up screaming at the goal and he went nuts. screaming and shouting. scared the fuck out of me. apologised to my sister as i thought id upset him, turns out he was joining in.

We found this too.  Even before the date was announced the flights on both weeks had gone up to £350ish return.  Easyjet put them up just on account of the volume of people looking at them - not on sales.  It was saying on their website that there were 250+ people looking at the flights on each of the legs/weeks.  Dynamic pricing based just on website views seems particularly unfair on customers.  I wouldn't mind so much if I felt that someone had beaten me to the cheaper priced flight - but doubt anyone got them at the £59 return price they had them listed at before 11am.

Surely people have realised they do this by now? Why anyone goes near an airline website apart from to actually book flights is beyond me. Plenty of people will be spending hundreds more on flights now because some knobheads just fancied a look on Easyjet.

But then how do you know where to go and book if you haven't looked at options beforehand?? Think you're being unrealistic if you expect people who are serious about booking not to look at what flight routes are available in between team and date announcements.

Unfortunately skyscanner prices are usually well behind the pace when prices going up.  Would have been stuck today if just relying on skyscanner.

Stansted's fine if you're travelling from the South.  But from the north you've often got add-ons of expensive train in order to get to the airport with enough time,  and/or overnight accommodation.  Jacks up the price considerably.
