We've been sold tickets for the Leazes L7 (as Fiorentina fans) for both today and tomorrow. Presume Nice and Villareal fans have a bit too?

Ta 👍

I've got tickets for myself and son (Fiorentina fans) for both days. Had issues getting hold of someone over phone in ticket office but eventually sorted. We've been put in Leazes L7 section as away fans which is fine, although I'm thinking there won't be many of us and if your not selling out, we might be isolated up in the rafters! Could any of you recommend a good pub/bar nearby where we would be welcome and get lunch? I fancy visiting the Shearer bar too - presume that'd be ok pre-kick off for us if we're in colours?

Thanks for the info. I think I'll hang fire and see if there's ticket news nearer the time then, assuming as it's not going to be a sell-out. Getting home tickets in Italy is straightforward but for the occasional Euro games I attend, it can be complicated due to security and needing to buy from Italy. I usually get one of my Italian friends to buy and bring over. Last time was the Hearts match in October and I got them via the Viola Club Brussels. There's a few other fan groups based in Europe that like to come over to UK games e.g. London and Paris, so I'd expect a few hundred fans maybe, whereas it would be 2-4k for a competitive game. I'm assuming that there's no need for proper segregation for this but maybe Newcastle will want it as there's fans from 4 nations in stadium at same time? If I can't get away tickets I'll grab some in a Leazes section nearby. At least the hotel is booked!

Hi folks, Fiorentina fan here in peace with a question! Wondering if anyone knows info or can advise on Sela Cup tickets for Sat 5th-Sun 6th August......basically I'm planning on coming down with my son from Glasgow for both days but there doesn't seem to be any ticket info for away fans. After numerous attempts to speak to someone in the ticket office, I was eventually told that the club are 'in discussions' about ticket arrangements. There's nothing yet from the Fiorentina website or my contacts who can usually order tickets for us. Assume it might be similar for Nice and Villareal fans and we're all given a section of the Leazes stand? Ideally it would be nice to be with our fans but really want to go, so don't mind sitting anywhere in a home section and could register online and buy as a 'home fan' (I presume this is ok as it's a friendly and we're no trouble anyway!) I'm also assuming we can't just turn up and buy at gate as it's a new digital system? Any info on procedure or advice on where to sit appreciated! Cheers, Stuart
