Same here mate. Just spoke to the TO and they are still working through making calls. She wouldn't let me make the transaction there and then, I have to wait for the call but she assured me there would be no probs.......

Managed to sort the time of work so I'm hoping to sort a ticket on Sunday morning. Only problem is that I live in Portugal so don't know if they can get it to me on time... anyone been in that situation before?   I should be able to sort a ticket with the home fans if not but obviously that's not perfect

No station right at the airport mate. nearest is Campo Grande or Alvalade on this map (neither really in walking distance):



Get a cab to campo grande and you'll be sorted, or even just get one into the city centre, the airport isnt that far outside

That'd be good, although I'll only be arriving in Lisbon at 18.30 at best so might be a bit late.. will have to ask them about it on the phone I suppose.

Bring it on now, via Faro and looking forward to another good Euro away.
