Squawking, surely. Brentford fans would buzz.

Its in the South of France. That's quite a long way away
And you have to watch through a f***ing net!
British Airways for me too Wednesday evening from Heathrow. That's easy for me as there is a bus from Reading staion to Heathrow.

I dont think it's that baffling, fans are having to find the cash for extra European games already, add the fact its probably at least 500 quid with flights, hotels beer money, it's also not the most family friendly fixture with somewhat draconian measures in place.
Also most families would have seen their mortgage going up by hundreds in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
Saying all this I still think it will sell out, just a bit slower than anticipated.

Agree - its bloody expensive and i think we'll do well to sellout all 3 away games - Ajax will be fine as its an easy one to get to but the other 2 arent

I think the surprise (certainly with me anyway) is we seem to sell out league games pretty quickly. I was in the third sale window and was umming and arring about asking to use a mates ticket. Glad I didn't now.
Still don't think I'll get a ticket for either of the other two if we only get the 5% but I'm slightly more confident after this sale. My concern is the club will note the small take up and not accept a bigger allocation for the other two should it be offered. I don't think it will be offered but you never know. I can't imagine little ol Brighton is much of a glamour tie for Ajax or AEK.
Out of interest what is more difficult getting to Marseille and Athens than Amsterdam? Only thing I can think of is driving is an option.

Amsterdam Schiphol is one of the biggest hub airports in the world with many more routes into the UK daily. Far better served via air than either of the other destinations, also ferry options too.

I'm fully aware of that but surely getting on a flight is getting on a flight? You've only got to look at this thread to look at the various routes people are going. But I guess you are correct. It is the easiest out of the three. The train comes into play as well which isn't really an option for Athens.

I don't think it's about difficulty, as you say a flight is a flight. It's more availability. This coming Thursday there are 10 flights from Gatwick to Amsterdam but only 2 from Gatwick to Marseille. At 200 seats per plane, it's 2,000 seats per day versus 400. Therefore it's reasonable to think people are finding it harder to book a route to Marseille.
Agreed its a poor show
