[Albion] Europa League - Away game tickets.

[dazzer6666]

Presumably there will be no pre-registration for the away fixture, like the original three?

Who knows. Going to be a frantic few minutes

Why would you presume that? The short timescale?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Just book now and make sure they're cancelable. Easy

Easy enough for hotels but not for flights...

Watching it absolutely DOES matter because if you don't book flights and accommodation the split second our opponent is known, the only options remaining will cost about a zillion pounds.

My clever young lad has booked accommodation for our group in 12 of the possible 15 host venues for the March 7th game. All refundable of course. He’s a good lad.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

On this point, is it only the Lisbon issue if both their teams go through that is a possible booking risk? Would all other opponents be guaranteed to play on Thursday 7th?

Believe so.

Does anyone best optios for flights to Freiburg ?

If we get one of the Lisbon teams may have to move that to the 6th.......

 

[seagullwedgee]

Yep, all are booked 6th to 8th anyway. Proper 3 day sesh.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

IF we got Sparta Prague could that game also be on the Wednesday? (Slavia Prague also still in the competition)

Sorry - answered my own question - no won't be as Slavia won group and so play second leg at home...

 

[Official Old Man]

Believe so.

Fly to Basel. Hope I'm correct.

How many on here are going to gamble and book flights and hotels in the hope they have enough loyalty points ?
400 points plus should guarantee a ticket

Me.

I'm planning to only travel if we get tickets - and our points mean that is unlikely at all but the biggest stadia. I'm fully aware that this approach - not even looking at transport and accommodation options until we have tickets confirmed, means we'll be royally FLEECED, but there we go.

Hoping for a big ground in mainland Western Europe (Milan, Hamburg, Rome) - big ticket allocation and lots of transport options.

Or Stuttgart. Look also for anything close in France - The Rhine Valley is close to the border.

I'm up all night Thursday double checking the final 8 possible fixtures.

 

[Rowdey]

Am I correct in saying the cutoff for that would be around the 320 to 330 mark if the Sheffield United points are excluded?

Back of fag packet calcs - Liverpool away, which is normally 3000 tix (but might be less this year?) and that had 320-ish (?) points as first tier, then that gives strong steer on where you are..

 

[Napper]

Not too worried about the hotels . Plenty of options even when leave that late

 

[BatterSeagull]

How many points do we think we need to get a ticket?

Until we know an allocation, no idea.
