Topic: FC Basel AWAY

[swoopy]

I remember they did that for Norwich 2 seasons ago ... "there are approximately 29 tickets left"

How can be there be "Approximately" 29 tickets... there either is or there isn't ... bellends

[tbonejones]

It also doesn't make sense for them to arrange a sale for just 12 tickets a few days in advance when theoretically a few more could be sold to ST holders with one in the next couple of days who were slow on the uptake. If they had only a tiny number I would have thought they'd just put it on the website one morning saying they'll be on sale from 1pm to members with one, get them sold in 10 mins and be done with it.

Then again, I'm assuming that the TO would act logically, which is foolish.

[Shanklygates]

The girl probably just had 12 left in HER pile!

There's no way including the plane load for TC that they've already sold over 1600 with the sales they've previously done.

A maximum of 1000, probably less, went to 2/4 matches + 2 plane loads of tickets to TC = approx. 500. It is scandalous.

+ people that bought tickets and didn't travel to any Europa aways.

[tarentheara]

The lady at TC office said to me they had 600 ticket allocation for this fixture, how true this is only those who get on that flight will know. Ridiculous

[soze]

1600

[nickyd186]

Thomas cook have only chartered one plane from jet 2 according to there press release info. A B737-300 that seats 148 passengers. Dunno if they have chartered another from somewhere else tho.

[tedthered]

Where is the meet up for Basel?

[rhylred]

Don't put any meet up on here,never know who's looking in,ask anyone about Utrecht

[gordo]

I don't remember much about that trip (Amsterdam induced coma), but I remember being stood outside some bar with a Police barracade blocking both ends of the street before being thrown on to a bus and taken to a tunnel that seemes to last forever before getting close to the ground itself.

Be better if certain parts of the of the European away Forum were only visible to registered members of RAWK.

[Shanklygates]

Swiss franc to Euro is and has been fixed for a few years now. 1 euro = 1.2 swiss francs. That's national, keep that in mind people.

[nickyd186]

No there's minimum order either.

[gnaume]

Good luck, everyone! Wonder how fast these will be gone.

[so kop end lad]

Anybody get one yet?

[Always_A_Red]

Not got through yet 

[gnaume]

Saying sold out already now

[Always_A_Red]

Got through, said sold out! 

[tbonejones]

Was easy at the window, had plenty more than 12 for sure but no idea how many.

[jizzspunk]

TC Packages more worthy then previous history then......laughable 

[Master ScouseKnee]

Reckon about 20 in the queue this morning, including myself, who didnt get sorted. Disgusting that through Thomas Cook you couldve got sorted without any previous.

Terrible mate. I must have called up 50 times, finally got through at 8:30 to be told that they had gone. What's the fucking point of a sale?Everybody who went to 1 from 2012 should be sorted over people who had no credits on TC.

[Alf Garnett]

With so few tickets they could have gone on sale to fans with proof of travel from 2012-13

good idea but does anyone keep old flight tickets or hotel conformation from 2 years ago?

[Alf Garnett]

The selling details said proof of travel could be required for future games, Ive kept mine from 12/13 just in case, also anyone that went to Anzhi or St Petes will have a visa in their passport.

[Craig S]

They used to do that, I think after the numbers game of 2007, when loads bought £6 Gala tickets but didn't go. When you could only apply by post, you had to complete the official form and provide scans of boarding cards. I had a box of old boarding cards, for about the last 2 years, just in case.

[Smithy_88]

I went down. Got there at 7.15. About 30 people in front of me. I got the last ticket. lad next to me was on the phone at que number one. If i'm honest I don't think alot of people got through on the phones. I would say they had about 70 tickets max. Some of the lads had been there from 5.30 I heard one near the front say.

I'd suggest a Halifax Clarity card if you're able to - no FX fees and uses the best FX rate. Great for all holidays.

yep they used to which was fine as you knew you had to keep stuff but they can't really just all of a sudden ask now for it best way to stop credit hunting is for the club to let you order ticket for the away but on day of game you have to pick them up from a hotel where we are playing with your passport to prove id

Mentioned this in another Thread.

Man United fans have to show their passport at a location in that City day of the game and they get Cross Checked against the name of the ticket and who purchased it.

Good idea to be honest, alot of the times it's done from where the club are staying in that hotel recpetion. However they don't always. And they definitely haven't been doing it this season

Everyone gets emails

[KOTP]

Everyone gets emails

[dannymc]

Got mine too. 16CHF which is half price isn't it... great bit of advice on that other thread. Just need to remember to get the return tomorrow! I've gone a bit later, 20:00, have a little look at Zurich.

Down by the lake is quite nice. In the summer, there are lots of private areas for swimming in the lake. There are some nice sights :-)

The bog standard trip includes a stroll along the niederdorfstr. zürich, which i didn't feel was much to write home about.

[kevlumley]

I don't remember much about that trip (Amsterdam induced coma), but I remember being stood outside some bar with a Police barracade blocking both ends of the street before being thrown on to a bus and taken to a tunnel that seemes to last forever before getting close to the ground itself.

I kept my head down and got on one of the buses from the Utrecht centraal station to the ground, then ended up walking the entire perimeter to get in. The stewards always seem to send me the wrong/long way around stadiums to get to the away end. But i was ok, luckily, although it was pretty lively on the bus with the home support and their cans of ale. Can't complain.

Luckilly didn't meet any of the Ultras that Danny Dyer met in his football hooligans (joke) tv programme :-)
