I'm considering it an experience of a lifetime.
For this team to be in Europe is just a dream come true, and to join in with this moment should be great, lets hope we go far and get those tickets.

Tickets, pfffffff.
Hoping to travel with or without ticket, just for the experience/craic so to speak. Will also explore ‘home’ tickets, although that maybe easier from a non UK address.

tfso!
same boat , except even further to travel. Reckon an away ticket would be next to impossible to get wherever it is .

What happens if we get RUSG at some point? Actually, playing Union in the final would be nice, a guaranteed win for Uncle Tony.

Not sure I’ll get carried away by awaydays but can’t wait for atleast 3 European nights under the Amex lights.

Absolutely this. Already booked off the first two match day weeks Weds-Fri. Going to the first away game for the atmosphere during the day, worst case will just watch in a bar, best case will have a ticket.
Very roughly they are based on the team’s historical performances in Europe and there is also some weighting based on the overall performance of all teams from a team’s country. So we get no points for our European history but get some for English teams on the whole doing well.

Bundesliga wraps up today so we'll know wheth r it's Freiburg or Union Berlin. Praying for Freiburg as I used to live there and it's a great club. Bigger stadium than Berlin's too.

This is the factor that is screwing with my hopes to draw certain teams. Part of me wants the far flung clubs in places I would never otherwise go, but ticket wise it's probably best to be getting Toulouse, Juve, and Roma.
Re tickets, found this online :
Home clubs in the Europa league competition must make at least 5% of the total approved UEFA capacity of their stadium available exclusively to visiting supporters, in a segregated, safe area.
Tickets for that area must be sold in compliance with the provisions of Article 20 of the UEFA Safety and Security Regulations. In no case, however, shall the price of those tickets for visiting supporters exceed €45 (£39) In addition, visiting clubs are entitled to purchase 200 top-category tickets for their VIP supporters, sponsors, etc., but they are not obliged to take the full allocation.

I think we all knew about the 5%, hence wanting a big ground, but the 200 VIP tickets is interesting as I was worried players families would be part of the 5%. Presume this accounts for why the West Ham families were separate from the main group at AZ.

Alte Försterei in Berlin is quite special. Built by the fans and has a capacity of 22,000 but only 3,617 seats. It's not aproved for european games, so they will have to play their home games at Olympiastadion if they qualify.
Olympiastadion is more than twice the size of Europa-Park Stadion in Freiburg.
On the 38th attempt I believe I now have a Passport Ready photo of myself, which has led to 2 questions:-
1 - when did my face get put through a mangle?
&
B - why am I unaware my face has been through a mangle?
Were it not for my phenomenal hair it's unlikely I'd get through passport control. Luckily I don't imagine them even checking my passport - my hair (phenomenal) is my passport.

Ooo I didn't know that, thanks for sharing. I'm torn now as I'd love to go back to Freiburg but more likely to get a ticket in Berlin!
1) It's a European competition we've qualified for
It's not looking good for Leverkusen, with Wolfsburg likely to take that 6th spot which may be UEL if Frankfurt do not win the cup.
The other spot (5th) is currently occupied by Union Berlin, but if they score against Werder Bremen then Freiburg would fall to 5th.
2) Like all other European competitions, it's one that Crystal Palace have never qualified for.
Bit surreal that Albion fans have a vested interest in 5th/6th finishers in Bundesliga.
