[Football] Benfica Estadio da Luz

[Icy Gull]

Any NSCers been there for a night game. I may have the opportunity to go to one and would appreciate some advice as to whether it’s worth going (sure it is with 50k crowds) and where to get tickets for. No I’m not going in the away end before that suggestion comes up!

How easy is it to get cabs to and from the stadium?

I’m not sure we’re tracking anyone from there and the Albion have not even bothered to ask me to scout. Barber out

Wag photos are only for player rumours so there won’t be any forthcoming from me!

Yeah I did wonder if that might be the case but I figured any football fan would know it was a stadium and not a player

Is this a first, no NSCers been there?

Been there, but not for a game and it was about 40 years ago, so I didn't chip in with my font of knowledge...!

I saw a saturday evening game there earlier this season. It was a fantastic experience with a big crowd and an amazing anthem before the match started.

We just rocked up earlier in the day and bought fairly cheap tickets from the main ticket office, showed a passport for ID. If they are playing Porto you may need to get a ticket earlier.

The stadium is easiest to get to on the metro from the city centre, then is just across the road from the metro entrance.

Enjoy!

Did a stadium tour there last year. Remember the guide saying it was much cheaper than England and usually easy to get tickets. Eusebio statue outside Is nice

This. Got in and my seat didn't actually existing despite having a valid ticket for me and my mate. Lucky there were a few no shows. Bit of a pig to get away from but a great ground...

Definitely take the metro and tickets usually available from the box office. Enjoy, its a great stadium.

Only been to Sporting Lisbon which was easy to get to by Metro, however it had a Lidl in one part.

This, metro station is right by a shopping complex for pre match drinks and eats and then a short walk to the ground

Is that the stadium in Lisbon? I have been there when we stopped off on a cruise and we wandered into the stadium and had a look around.
