After the game presumably there will be holdback, after that are we free to make our way to wherever we want or will we be forced to bus it back somewhere?

[Albion] AEK Athens - ticketing process, tiers and all that jazz
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Save some money by taking the less classy alternative - buy a bottle of vodka in duty free and sit around departures swigging from it.Sounds like a shit show.
I'm the sort of saddo who gets there three hours early anyway and then sits in the bar or lounge. Drives Mrs GB mad as she'd rather turn up at the airport 15 mins before the gate's due to close. When I do win that particular battle it always seems to cost me a fortune in duty free
Yeah that sounds like a good plan, what could possibly go wrong?
I see sir is familiar with Channel Five documentaries.

Let her loose in the shops and use your pint as her meeting point.Sounds like a shit show.

that's what we do.
5 tickets still available... but they won't open them up to Albion+ etc... very annoying.

Did you register??
Yes they did register.
I am out in Athens without tickets, I booked flights and hotel knowing there was a slim chance I would get tickets. I emailed the club today asking if they have returns/no show tickets available on Thursday would they sell them to fans out here (I am only an Albion+ member) and they said they won't sell below the bracket that it sold out on, which is fair enough.
That would be aces. I wonder how late in the day they would open it up to Albion+, for those of us that just came for the vibe, (I did register which was laughable with how few points I have - still also hoping on the AEK Block 8 tickets, but no reply yet) came for the vibes, so will be looking for a bar with fellow wandering seagulls on Thursday (and tomorrow, etc.)
Not that pricey. I've got one booked for about half ten tomorrow night. €55 before midnight. €70 afterwards. Slightly more than the stipulated flat rate but it seemed worth a little extra booking via the hotel and having their backing, as it seems the taxi rank cabbies are notorious for adding a bit (or a lot) extra if they can swing it.
Reminds me of my Dad's trip to Rome, when he got taken on a big tour of the sights from the station before finally getting to his hotel to be hit with a whacking bill. Next morning, turns the other way out of the hotel door and finds the station 500 yards down the road
Plus, from personal experience, the number of overseas cabbies that have 'no change' is remarkable...
Back in my 20s I got so... erm... "disorientated" in Amsterdam I finally gave up walking round, jumped in a cab and asked for my hotel.Not that pricey.

He did a u-ey in the road and dropped me at the opposite kerb.
Didn't charge tbf. Laughed a lot though.
Has a similar experience in Brazil…..was working there, went to go to a highly recommended restaurant with a colleague but we couldn’t find it. Stopped a cab and despite his protests we insisted he took us to the restaurant as we had a booking and didn’t want to be late. Went less than 100 yards down the road and there it was

Why not email the club and ask? You never know at this late stage.
Go to ticket collection place when it opens tomorrow.

The two ‘erberts they put on the door in Amsterdam were there to stop exactly this,
I don’t like to use the term “ you’ll be wasting your time” however I’d be very surprised if this yielded a result.
Block 8’s the way to go
I'd be more than slightly irritated if they opened up the sale to Albion+ so close to the game that it's impossible for the vast majority to do anything about it.

Just got a Uber to hotel from airport 55 euros as just after 4am local time. No traffic and speedy journey in.Not that pricey.
