CL final....getting a ticket.
I am now very much an armchair supporter (last game I attended was maybe 4 years ago) and I fully agree with regular attendees getting priority.
I was reading that a) arranged travel tickets would cost up to £700 and b) to have ANY chance of a match ticket you would had to have put your name in a ballot, which has now closed.
Which, if I have this right, means you would have to buy travel tickets without knowing if you will have any chance of a match ticket.

A large number of Rangers fans booked their flights to Seville some months ago, and you can bet your bottom dollar that large swathes the Liverpool fans have done the same. Why wouldn't you?

C'mon guys its only a game! Well done L'pool last night, honestly thought they were gone at HT.

Why ??
You would feel silly if you paid for your ticket etc and they didn't qualify.

I LOVE all this!

Shades of Kevin Keegan?

A lot of Killie fans did in our last European sojourn, assuming we would cuff Connah's Quay and get to the following round against Partizan Belgrade, and Serbia ain't an easy place to get to.

We failed spectacularly in that effort but a fair few still went over and treated it like a holiday. I believe some even booked a boat and had a party on the Danube with fans of both sides who hadn't been able to get tickets.

This is a football forum and last night we ALL saw one of the finest ever football performances to get Liverpool to the final of the European Cup but the company's accountant is telling us we can't do this?

Do you even come from Liverpool ?

I mean, according to your signature you live in Colne which as far as I can see is no where near Anfield?

You're not one of these plastics are you?

Mildly related, I chuckled at those cheeky Brentford fans at Old Trafford on Monday goading the United fans with “we’ll race you back to London” 🤣

Its a gamble for sure but loads of people do it every year and I'm one of them.

Always fancied a trip to Seville anyway, honest.

Went to my bed with 5 mins to go with RM v MC and I cannot believe what I missed and seeing now . Man C looked comfortable

What a total collapse!!

 

[StuAff]

Collapse slightly unfair- one side taking more of its chances than the other, just like the first leg.

 

[Accy cyclist]

To me, conceding 2 goals in injury time is a collapse. Fair play to Real, but City fecked it up.

I've never done this for a European game, not much call being a Rover. I did though book a Travelodge for May 29th on the chance of Rovers being in the play-off final this season. Cancelled now.

Also have a Travelodge booked for the same weekend in Bethnal Green for Ride London. Hedging my bets.

2018 I booked train tickets and bought match tickets for our final game at Charlton knowing we might get promoted three days earlier at Doncaster. Went to that one as well! We won promotion at Doncaster but still went to Charlton.

I did say slightly unfair…Real didn't have a shot on target until they scored. City had multiple opportunities to finish the tie off in normal time, and to pull it back in extra, but didn't.

…and it's a rematch in Paris. Liverpool have to be favourites, but so were City…
