ElDiablo Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 FFS, deliberately didn't check flights from London to Bordeaux for over week in order not to bow to temptation, just checked again and they're the exact same price! Can't afford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks for the info FenhamMag If worse comes to worse and I'm not able to get a ticket for that corner, will try and get as close as possible to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, the Virage Nord is where the Bordeaux Ultras sit so I may avoid that area. EDIT: just had a look, was wrong about that^, Virage Sud is where they sit.

Optimistic Nut Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'd imagine this is the most painstaking way of getting to Belgium, but for those on a budget...

Guest jab999 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hi guys, im new to this forum! Planning a trip to Bordeaux! Reading through past posts i dont understand how people have already got tickets or how they are looking into seating areas etc? The 2 mates im going with have both got season tickets and have been away a fair bit so will they be able to get more than 1 ticket? Also how is everyone planning on getting there? I saw something on NUFC.com for a package without ticket for just under 300 quid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw something on NUFC.com for a package without ticket for just under 300 quid? What exactly have you read as nobody here has said they have a ticket? The seating area point clearly was a reference to the size of the area Bordeaux give and nothing more unless i am missing something. No you cant get more than one ticket each as with all Euro games but ST holders should be ok if they have decent points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Only 1470 even though the club apparently tried for a lot more. Looks like I won't be going then... http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20120919/brugge-ticket-information_2281670_2923462 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 aye, saying they had trouble last season....they mustn't realise that the place is now going to be heaving with geordies drinking through the match rather than being in the match never mind, will still be a good trip. wonder whether people with loyalty points who aren't going will be able to obtain tickets for mates etc, just have to wait and see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 You'd imagine based on how home ticket sales go this might increase nearer the time. Think they'll almost sell out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrigan Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 They reduced the allocation due to problems they experienced last season , well by what people are saying there will be a massive amount heading over anyway would have made more sense to give a bigger allocation .

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas Club release statement to say they had asked for more but turned down. Club advising fans not to make travel plans until they have a ticket. Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas #nufc spokesman: "We have explored every possible avenue to obtain more tickets for our fans but we have to abide by the decision of the home club & UEFA, and unfortunately it is a matter now out of our hands. It is extremely regrettable that we could not secure a larger allocation as we are acutely aware of the large numbers of fans who would have wished to attend the game." #nufc Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas #nufc have already been through UEFA channels to try and appeal the decision but rules state Brugges only need to give 5% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
