[Albion] Marseille v Albion ticketing - allocation and priority windows etc

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Is anyone else staying in the Toyoko Inn hotel? This is where I am staying and it is a 5 min Taxi ride to Place de La Joliette. So I my going to leave my hotel around mid day and get a taxi to the ticket pick up point.

I’m there on Thursday @ozzygull. I’ll check in around 3 but was planning to walk to La Joilette probably as it will be daytime but I had considered a taxi back after we get dropped back. Maybe we’ll catch up when we’re there

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Agreed its a poor show

Yes incredibly poor show to have only sold 80% of the tickets to an away match 800 miles away with “only” another two weeks to sell the remainder

sounds good. I am going to be there from Wednesay so as said to the other poster if you want to get there earlier and drop of a bag, I can put them in my room until after the game.

I'm booked up for all six and I'm on about £700 at the moment. That includes flights, accommodation, home tickets, expected away tickets, various trains and airport parking. I suppose I've still got to factor in petrol and food and drink, and even though I'm a fat bastard I'll be nowhere near 2k.

Blimey that’s some going - Marseille will cost me about £250 all told for two nights accommodation and cheapish flights(I thought)

 

[tigerbeesteve]

Yep sounds like the flights we have, we can help each other as we work out how to get from airport to hotel (same area) thinking maybe just book a transfer car

that sounds like a plan!

Nearly 5 months to save for our first trip in Europe yep poor show especially as we have 30000 regular go to Amex plus more waiting ,but with 700 left perhaps we will ,doubt there isn't another 1st time euro adventure team that wouldn't sell out easily ,possibly afcb

My flight doesn’t land into Marseille until 21:15 weds night. Plan is to get the last train from near the airport to St Charles at 2150ish so won’t be at the hotel until 2230 earliest.

Agreed. I'm sure many would love to attend every europa home and away game but for various reasons wouldn't be able to commit to that.

For those lucky enough to attend all 6 games, I'd imagine their financial outlay would be at least 2k and could easily exceed that by double depending on where they live and travel arrangements. For the majority of people that is a huge expense and difficult to justify in uncertain economic times.

£625 on all travel
£300ish on hotels - 5 nights’ worth
Come in under the £2k comfortably even with beer money

Fair play, that's incredible value really!

 

[Right Back]

It gets expensive if you are the one paying for other family members.

 

[BNthree]

Also expensive if you’ve left it late and only just booking now. Those that booked the day the fixtures were announced would have got it much cheaper.

I am staying on Toyoko Hotel near the railway station.
I'm arriving 2.30 ish from Montpellier by train. I'm travelling in a small group but only one staying at Toyoko.

I'm looking at similar and arriving from Montpellier about the same time, happy to meet up for a walk (I'm rubbish at directions and will need a guide).
