I take it you’ve purchased them through a tout website mate?
Depending on who we draw in the europa, we might go via Madrid and take in the Leipzig game the night before, but tickets through tout websites are mental prices for that game.
I’m keeping an eye on Madrid’s official website, to see if I can buy directly, for the Almeria game in 2 weeks, just to give me an idea of price and availability.
I’m obviously expecting a champ league game to be a few quid more right enough.

No it was direct through Las Palmas website. They inflate prices v Real Madrid and barca.

Yeah. Robbery. There were more expensive ones than that

Thought it would be, I think you maybe asked and we found some prices from another season.
Part of the game in Spain! Same seat be 20 euros v Vallecano!
I don't know if this website has been mentioned on this thread before -
euroticketclub.com is really good for ticket and flight info, we have used it a few times, highly recommend it

I went to Denmark in November solely to watch FC Copenhagen vs Brondby IF, the biggest game in Danish football.
It was drab 0-0 game, however, I met Godrup who was there doing commentary for Danish tele.

Currently sat in Gatwick after a class few days in the south of France.
Marseille vs Strasbourg was first up for me and my mate on Friday, possibly the best ground I’ve ever been in but a shame the football on display wasn’t the best. A crazy experience in so many ways with it really hitting home what an incredible one-club city the place is.
AS Monaco vs Stade Reims was next up on the Saturday, to see first hand the disparity of 2 places in terms of wealth was quite startling, like a completely different world. Monaco’s stadium is utterly bizarre and attendance can’t have been more than 8000. Strange atmosphere but a much better game than the Friday night.
A decent first Groundhop of the year with the next hopefully next month to a game down south.
Another exciting thing about this trip is that my mate, who’s doing journalism at Uni, will be writing an article about our trip for Football Weekends magazine. It should be featured in the upcoming months.

I have paid 5 euros to get in each of them.
Monaco v Hamburg in 2005 and Marseille v Domzale 2017. Both European matches. How much did you pay?

€35 total
€25 for Marseille and €10 for Monaco.
Less than my ticket for Easter Road a week on Wednesday.

I had a look at buying Real Madrid tickets for this weekends game against Almeria.
Public sale Monday there. I jumped on right before the sale started, and joined about a 45 minute que (behind about 3000 others), and there was nothing but 155euro face value seats left.
I get the size of that club, but I thought it might have been easier and cheaper than that.
Plenty available on tout websites with seatsnet being the cheapest. Has anyone ever bought from them?
Cheers.

I seen some yesterday morning on the site for 70 euro mate, they disappear fairly quickly though.

I was using this weekends game as a kinda scouting mission, just to get an idea how easy it would be to buy direct mate.
A few of us are looking to maybe go via Madrid for our europa league match in March, and take in the Leipzig game the night before our game (watch us get sporting Lisbon and mess that up haha).
But I now know that’ll be most likely impossible to buy direct for that game, as it’ll be more popular and probably more expensive.

There was a poster on this thread that managed to pick up Real Madrid v Napoli tickets at face price from the site I'm sure, definitely worth keeping an eye on it.

I'm at Hertha v Hamburg in a few weeks time (home end tickets but right over by away section so should be full of Hamburg fans). 2nd visit to Olypiastadion after Hertha v Bayern 6 years ago.
Couple of new grounds for the weekend. Friday night Magdeburg v Kiel then on Saturday morning my most random game yet Altglienicke v Luckenwalde in Regionalliga Nordost.
Back on Sunday so bit gutted... Was hoping to tick off Cottbus on the trip but they don't play until Sunday.

Done loads, was at Sevilla Vs Vallecano a few months after the final there.
Worst one was around the beast from the east time, flew out to Watch Parma on Saturday (postponed cause of snow) and Milan Derby on the Sunday (postponed cause fiorentian captain died in his sleep on the Saturday night )
Was at Fiorentina vs Genoa and an Italian boy had a Rangers scarf on.
Best was Lazio v Roma.

Do you know the script on when Danish league fixtures are announced? I’m in Copenhagen end of March beginning of April but there is no fixtures up. Assuming they have a split type thing.
Kinning Park Doonhamer

I went purely by what was available on FCK’s ticket site, and like ourselves, they only do 3 or 4 in advance. You’ll have to register as a member to get ticks for most clubs.
No idea about if there is a split, it was pure luck that I found they were playing that weekend I was going.

Was in Nuremberg on Saturday with Hansa. Choreography banned at home matches till end of March now after a few incidents, been a few bans issued as well I think. Affected things a bit on Saturday, not as lively as usual.

Going Sint Truiden in a few week on a Friday night, then on to Standard Liege the Saturday and then Osnabruck v Hansa the Sunday. Sint Truiden ticket site made me laugh earlier, have the names of the 3 staff they have at the ticket office and said please call if any problems with your purchase. Funny for a Club in a top division!
Is that Altglienicke match at SportPark which Dynamo used to also use?
Bazza1985
Well-Known Member
Yeah, game is at the Friedrich ludwig jahn sportspark. Looking forward to seeing the ground etc but imagine it'll be lucky to get 1,000 at the game itself.... hopefully hertha v Hamburg being on later in the day helps increase attendance.

I like that ground, been to see Dynamo a couple of times there. You might be lucky to get a 1000! The steak burgers are brilliant there, always over do it when they are on sale!
Eyeing up the Dortmund v Frankfurt game on the 17th March, I’ve just registered on the Dortmund site but it doesn’t look like ticket details have been announced yet.
What do you think the chances of getting 3 tickets are? It’ll be two adults and a child but as long as we get at least two together I can sit on my own elsewhere. Is there still a chance the game maybe moved as well before I look at flights?
Cheers.

Can't be moved, was fixed here:
DFL releases exact schedule for Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 fixtures until mid-March | DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga
Fixtures for the current 2023-24 season have now been set for Matchdays 19 to 26 in both leagues.

Won't get any general sale but should be ok through viagogo etc. Won't get in away end. Few things on here:
Dortmund/Bundesliga tickets
The boy is desperate to go to a Bundesliga game (particularly Dortmund if possible). Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of how to go about getting tickets for games? Thanks in advance.

I think you are looking at 259 euros a man for 2 nights Hotel and a ticket through the Club:
You'll be able to see through this.
I might be wrong about General Sale, just they hardly ever seem to have a General Sale there and EF is a big match for both.
Found this for their match in a few weeks:
Tickets for home game against Freiburg on open sale from Tuesday
Tickets for the Bundesliga home match against SC Freiburg (Friday 9 February, 20:30 CET) will go on general sale at 12:00 CET on Tuesday 23 January.

Few years ago when Rangers played Ajax I was in Dusseldorf the night before, I looked into going to Dortmund v Copenhagen in the champions league, there was plenty of public sale tickets available. I'm not sure about league matches I know there's a massive demand for Dortmund matches.

Cheers mate, yeah looked at that Freiburg game myself for an idea of things, a few random ones here and there but none together. Had a look on viagogo for that game too, looked like £50-£60 for the cheapest ones.

Sounds like some great trips - I look forward to reading about them.
We'll be in Argentina in February and have sorted out Boca tickets. This time I'll be taking the kids. Their only previous experience at a game was Rangers-Hamburg last Summer. This will prove a different environment.

Just like Wazza said the Passolig/Passo system in Turkey is a nightmare. I was responsible for helping 5 people set it up and it didn’t go smoothly. Strangely though there didn’t seem to be any reason for it.
Due to the tickets not coming out until the Thursday and delays tickets actually sold out, much to the surprise of everyone we asked. Luckily we got through a tout website reasonably priced (£30)
Went to see Fenerbahçe vs Ankaragucu a good game and great atmosphere. I think only topped by Legia Warsaw fans.
I don’t think I liked Istanbul as a city as much as I thought I would. Nice people, amazing food but some areas are just not enjoyable to explore due to the hills. Probably wouldn’t go back unless Rangers play Besiktas
or Galatasaray.
The below is a chicken shish with rice and Turkish bread which cost about £5

Attended Preston vs Blackburn yesterday. A good Derby with a bit of heat, nothing compared to an Old Firm though. Preston fans were top notch with us and very welcoming in the pubs around the ground.
You weren't on TransPennine train that arrived around 11:30 were you? I was on and a few Scottish lads were on who looked like they may be going Football. Remember you saying you had some £1 tickets.
