Topic: Genk away

[ant]

cheers Craig S for the City infos, didnt mater anyway he was on holiday !

he has Hoffenheim qualifier on his card and that didnt count, he knows finals dont neither.

i only mentioned the 8 credits he has which looks like the max anyone can have if they started with Moscow : Spartak + Porto + Roma + Napoli + Bayern + Porto + Barca + Napoli

id be surprised if they used Augsburg so this is for me aswell for Genk sales : 12/13, guaranteed then 11/13, not guaranteed

[exCite]

I live in Belgium and was lucky enough to get 2 CL season tickets at Genk, which obviously includes our game!
Just can't wear anything red and need to shut up when we score.

Problem with 11/13 there is a hell of a lot of people for 400 hundred odd tickets but if they take it 15/19 or 14/19 from the figures they have been using it will be a lot fairer to the people who have been going longer and not just started in CL days

Bordeaux   2005   19
Kazan   300           18
Sion           564           17
Augsburg   1158   16
Utd           3100       15
Dortmun   3400   14
Villareal   2000   13
Spartak   500           12
Maribor   642          11
Sevilla    2450   10
Porto   3200   9
City           2650    8

But like stated before no one could be any higher than 8 if their first match was Moscow.

Just collect up the ticket stubs for those that go thru the turnstile in Napoli...have a couple of stewards inside with a bag..place it in as you go thru... handwritten names on tickets..take them back to the TO and offer those that attended the last few hundred for Genk...😉

Not a bad idea at all! But sadly thats how we know the TO wont do it.

Its not going to happen.

[ABJ]

Not a bad idea? So someone with 3 games (2 last season+Napoli this season) would get a ticket over someone that has 11/13?

Yeah, great idea.

My bad, it would be a great idea to collect the ticket stubs in Napoli. Obviously not selling Genk based on only 3 matches!

[exCite]

FYI

Genk just issued a statement on their website that they're fully sold out for all 3 games.

15000 tickets
2000 business seat holders
2000 for UEFA and partners

1000 for the away team

[Shanklygates]

ooh, let's hope!

Says that for UEFA matches, the capacity is 21500 so I wonder what has happened to the other 1500 tickets.

No idea mate, that's what it says on their website.
I do know that they lose a lot of capacity due to the fact they need to make it an all seater for Euro's.

Cheers. Yeah I've just checked and by making it all seater for UEFA matches, it brings the capacity down from 23718 to 21500, no idea why the website only says 20000 though.

Found an article in a Belgian paper:

"Europees is de Genkse capaciteit beperkt tot 20.000 plaatsen. In de Jupiler Pro League biedt het stadion plaats aan 24.956 personen."

It basically says that while in the Belgian 1st Division there's 24956 seats. There's only 20000 in Europe.

So that's at least another 75 off the allocation when we thought it was 21500

The big question is if the 1000 away tickets are with or without the 200 cat A tickets we get.

It’s separate

[kalle-anka]

It’s separate

If thats correct I like our chance of getting a ticket in the second sale.

[ABJ]

I thought that you had Moscow and all of the others apart from Maribor?

[kalle-anka]

I thought that you had Moscow and all of the others apart from Maribor?

That’s correct I do, but not everyone I’m travelling with went to Moscow.

[ABJ]

That’s correct I do, but not everyone I’m travelling with went to Moscow.

Ahh fair enough. I'm in a similar position as I'm nailed on to get a ticket but will be after others for mates in the 2nd sale.

[KOTP]

I've got 11 out of last 13 so in the unlikely category got flights for 60£ return and booked refundable hotels so if don't get one just won't bother going and write the £60 off.

[Shanklygates]

Think we've secured one on full credits but will then need another. We should be in the 2nd sale I'd hope but woukd want to keep our credits the same really as easier going forward. Decision decisions. ... Hopefully it's not too long b4 we find out.

I don’t expect the details to be out anytime soon. I’d say anything before 2nd week of October would be very unexpected.

I believe that comes out of the UEFA/partners quota

[kalle-anka]

Yeah I do also believe that’s the case, but you never know with UEFA.

[Tiz Lad]

Or LFC 😉

I live about 16km from Genk and I'd recommend anyone going then they should opt to stay in Hasselt.

[Pheeny]

Oh yea and the Stadium is out in the sticks with no cafés near and is a bit of a shite away end.

Anyone that was at the Anderlecht and Standard games a few seasons back will be aware of how bad the away sections are in Belgian stadiums.

[kesey]

Me and my mate are staying in Winterslaag which made us giggle.  We are getting a cab from Weert to Bree then the local bus down into Genk on matchday . We've got a nearly a whole day in Genk the following day before we go to Maastricht . Fancy a pint ?

[Barry Banana]

Any reason? Got a hotel in Genk.

[exCite]

Any reason? Got a hotel in Genk.

Because there's basically nothing to do in Genk.

[ABJ]

Because there's basically nothing to do in Genk.

This is exactly why our lot booked in Hasselt.

[kesey]

Because there's basically nothing to do in Genk.

It has a main street and a square . Thats all I need .

[Pheeny]

You know the old joke about visiting a town and it was closed,well that really happens with Genk.

[Pheeny]

Fancy a pint ?

Hopefully yea,me and my lad are trying to get tickets with the Genkies,if not I could nip down the day after the game. Will let you know closer to the day.


Edit - You could of course get the number 10 bus to Tongeren and have a beer in the best square in Limburg.

[Pheeny]

This is exactly why our lot booked in Hasselt.

Don't be surprised if you find Hasselt to be quiet midweek but it will be much better than Genk. Try and avoid the Irish bar though as the beer elsewhere if better/cheaper and last time a British team played in Genk the Irish Times in Hasselt was targeted by a group of Dutch/Belgian hooligans.
