Help (Seville)

[alex]

wotcha

So I'm not a member (anymore - I live quite far away, blah blah) or season ticket holder - but would dearly love to take my two sons to Seville and watch the game.

From what I understand it may be possible for a season ticket holder to get tickets.

If anyone here would : could help me I would be eternally thankful as would my two boys (13, 11).

Please pm me if you could help?

For the previous games you had to produce your passport to collect tickets on the day of the game and that had to match the season ticket/members card used to order the ticket in the first place.

Your best bet is probably to get them from an unofficial seller, such as http://www.viagogo.co.uk/Sports-Tic...FA-Champions-League-2016-17-Tickets/E-2010098

Won't be cheap though.

Seems to be blocked if you're in the UK, but it works using a foreign vpn.

They won't deliver to the UK, but maybe you could get them delivered to a hotel in Seville.

These are the cheapest tickets they currently have...

This is exactly what I did for Porto. As Jeff suggests, it wasn't cheap.

Tickets were available at a slightly lower price from touts on the day of the match but I don't think this likely to be the case for the game in Seville. Their ground only holds 45,ooo (against the 52,000 in Porto) and a knock-out stage match is bound to be more popular than a dead-rubber final group stage game.

Having witnessed the issuing of tickets to season ticket holders in Porto, I would say that you have zero chance of getting to see the match using the method outlined in your original post.

Thanks so much gents. Homer said he would pay for me so I guess it's fine

 

[Lako42]

As above, no chance of getting someone else to get them for you due to the checks that are (rightly) in place.


I use Viagogo for the Porto match.

Why are these websites allowed to circumvent the rules then? If it's good for the true supporters it must be good for everyone. Seems loyal supporters are being disriminated against.

Lako and I sat in what would otherwise have been empty seats; there were plenty more of them about. How does this discriminate against loyal supporters?

You have stated that loyal season ticket holders could not buy tickets for you or Lako, yet these sites could. That is dsicrimination against the loyal supporters. But maybe I have misunderstood.

Home end, that is the difference.

 

[camberwell fox]

Homers end, that is the difference.

Disgusting.

"These sites" don't buy any tickets. They bring together people who have tickets and people who want them. If Porto had had sufficient "loyal supporters", there would have been no tickets available to be redistributed in this way. The system allowed many 'loyal' City fans to see a game that they otherwise would have missed.

Again you're missing the point.

If "they" can do it, loyal city season ticket holders should be able to benefit from it too.

I guess many did

It's difficult to see what your point could be. A certain number of tickets were, as per rule, allocated to away fans. Loyal city season ticket holders got them all. The rules do not allow away fans to purchase home tickets directly and it's unlikely that they ever will. Lako, I and many others are pleased that we were able to have been able to get tickets for seats that Porto fans did not want, by any means.

Until you saw the game of course.

I was too busy having it with loads of Porto lads.

It was pwopper naughty and I managed to quickly put down 8 of them before I ran and jumped in with the away fans.

Don't even know what the score was.

 

[cambiassoo]

Does anyone know when ticket details will be released for the home leg?
