Have you got a ticket for the match?
Nah and I would say Iām highly unlikely to get one
Sure what about it though
Will be a lot of people in the same boat in that regard
I might rush the gates
A Manchester United supporting friend of mine went all the way to Moscow in 2008 without a ticket but got one outside
Thatās hardcore
Madrid is only a hop, skip and a jump away really
Might as well go
You spend so much time posting about English football yourself you must be a diehard?

Lot of trouble to go and support a british team.
Hmmm, support Tipp or a british team?
No contest really.
And youāll no doubt write a song about it. Would you offer to ghostwrite a column about it all for Billy Keane or your avatar and you might even come out in profit?
Paddy went to the Champions League final
The Liverpool roar it was spinal
With a Spanish young lady he wanted to get vaginal
But alas, he ended up sleeeping in a urinal
I was standing on Hill 16 for the 2007 Leinster final between Dublin and Laois
After a while it became apparent that there was some strange carry on a couple of steps down from me
A chap was dressed up like a blue Ronald McDonald and acting exaggerratedly for a camera - he looked wired
It turned out it was Billy Keane filming some feature for Des Cahillās āRoad to Crokerā where he pretended to be a Dublin diehard
I love english football, city and liverpool 2 great teams but Iām irish, not passionate about any english teams. Rather Ireland as bad and all as they are.
How much would a ticket from a tout be, about ā¬5000?
Good man Sidney, thatās a smashing itinerary. What you need to do now is get onto Joe Duffy, outline your travel plans and hint slightly at your circumstances before unpinning the grenade that you have no ticket.
A quick anecdote (a makey up up one will suffice) will stimulate the goodness of the nation and some oulā one will spring for it if the FAI donāt seize the opportunity for positive publicity.
I donāt know but Iām guessing that would be ballpark
Face value tickets are up to ā¬500 I think
Forgeries Iād imagine are also a significant risk
Around Croke Park/Lansdowne Road youād know the lie of the land so to speak if you were ever short of a ticket, youād know the spots and who to ask, youāll always get in if you really want to
Like, before the 2015 All-Ireland final I was talking to a Dublin supporter who paid ā¬250 for a ticket, I saw him buying it about 11am on OāConnell Street, he told me āthatās the cheapest youāll get oneā
Three minutes later I had a face value Hill 16 ticket in my hand
But I imagine for this it would be real needle in a haystack stuff
Back in the 70s my oulā fella went to Paris for the European Cup final between Bayern Munich and Leeds and got a ticket without much hassle
In 1995 I had a ticket for the final league match between Liverpool v Blackburn and he didnāt - when I met him afterwards it turned out heād got in by paying a tout Ā£25 for a Ā£15 ticket shortly before kick off - seems quaint in retrospect - big matches were a lot easier to get into back then
Single tickets are 3.5k on stubhub pairs are 5.5k.
In 2009 I let slip on this forum that I was going to the Heino final in Edinburgh and hoped to attend the final game of the Scottish League between Celtic and Hearts the next day
A poster on this forum offered me a ticket by PM unprompted
Unfortunately I got so smashed after the rugby that my I literally destroyed my phone
Miraculously I managed to meet the poster in the designated meeting spot the next lunchtime pre-match, about 20 minutes late though
The ticket was a season card - a plastic yoke
I was supposed to give back the card at the end of the match to a different guy who presumably was supposed to be sitting in the seat beside me
I was so twisted that I misread the number of the seating block and ended up six blocks away from where I was supposed to be and thus could not give back the card
I posted it to him a few days later
I hope Billy Sheehan gets one. Never misses a game.
Old time bikes enthusiast @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy will be forced to support us now
