[Albion] Europa League fans' forum transcription

[BNthree]

*EDIT*

Seems a lot of wishful thinking with regard to exchange/sharing of tickets bought in the 3 match pack. Doubt it will happen.

Sorted (so far) joined a queue and within half hour was in and purchased. There is an option to print at home. I havent got a printer but can find a friend to print these for me, The strange thing is the confirmation email says:

"Your items are attached to this email as pdf documents. If they are match tickets, please print out them out for the relevant game"

AND
"Tickets for Europa League Three Match Packs will not be sent out until after the group stage draw on Friday 1st September."

Im assuming the latter but for the dyslexic in me im struggling with this

Agreed. The benefit is the low price for it.

Agreed. The benefit is the low price for it.

Also it is 3 individual tickets (like 3 away or cup tickets) not a mini season ticket so doubt the club would want the admin of facilitating transfers.

Visas
You don’t need a visa to enter Israel as a tourist. On entry, visitors are granted permission to stay for a period of up to 3 months. ??

Also Haifa airport is 17 Min drive from stadium. Tel Aviv airport 1 hour


And I've spoken to a few people now who have said customs are fine in Israel

Haifa Airport, you can’t fly from the UK to, most of this research comes from someone who did it with another team. I don’t drive so will do it on public transport, but thank you for this anyway.

Seemed to be gaining a Visa if it was 21st September and it’s something that definitely requires two nights as you have to travel down to the port. Flights wasn’t too much off an issue.

You don't need a visa to travel to Israel.

Think I’m getting that confused with Azerbaijan

Fair enough! Here is some more information on Azerbaijan.

Should be fine, they do it all the time with other clubs.

I doubt it too but perhaps if the club can see demand they rather have bums on sets than more empty seats. Interestingly to note the train travel isnt included with these tickets and I think it was £7.50 in total for 3 games to print at home.

Checking the dates of the matches I can't do two of the six. Of course these might both be away fixtures but sods law says that I'll manage to get a three-match pack, and can't do two-thirds!

 

[El Presidente]

At 10 am big queue and wait
By 11 am queue had gone and I was in, out and finished in three minutes*
There's no hurry, and plenty of tickets will be available for individual matches. If really keen, then if not already signed up, MyAlbion+ is worth considering.

[halbpro]

Appreciate the transcript, did cover pretty much everything.

Understand the club's stance on away travel, particularly as it's the first time in Europe. Let them focus on getting the team etc... to away grounds, imagine that's enough of a nightmare by itself!

You've speeded up in the meantime, we'll all assume

Same.

I'll buy individual match tickets for the games I can get to.

15 Aug is the end of the window when STH can guarantee their own seats via the 3 match pack if they so wish so I guess that’s why it’s referenced.

I doubt whether it’s because it’s the Feast of the Assumption if that’s what you were wondering

just seen Bozza’s answer

feast of the assumption - which school did you go to?

 

[Goldstone1976]

feast of the assumption - which school did you go to?

I’m guessing Catholic or very ‘high church’ CofE.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

That's certainly my take, With all games being school nights, I expect some child STH won't take up their seats either.

Had a quick cross reference of the school calendar before buying juniors this morning

Looks to be a game week during half term and also a game week on the day before they break up for Xmas

Assuming a sequence of alternate home and away fixtures at least one of these will be a home game which means 100% he will go to one and we will have to see above the others.

As others had suggested, I wouldn’t be surprised that an exchange becomes available when home games sell out.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

feast of the assumption - which school did you go to?

St Pauls’s RC Comp, Haywards Heath(69 - 75)

Practice makes perfect etc...although once married you don't get much practice.

 

[Guinness Boy]

True neither would I. On the plus side getting to Haifa is easy - fly to Tel Aviv then coach or train there . BA , EasyJet or Al El all very safe airlines .

Unless you’re Jewish don’t fly El Al unless you like being treated like a third class citizen
