Unless I'm doing it wrong but it was like nearly 8 hours on the train. Coupled with a flight with a stop or two it's going to be a long one. Trains between Roma Termini and Milan range between 2.45 and 3.40 depending which service you get. Rome airport to Termini is about 30 mins. So I don't know you got to 8 hours unless you are meaning there and back? It's definitely not going to be 'easy' but there is a lot of options if you're able to take a couple of days off and travel either side to other airports.

ponsaelius Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Not just on the Italy side either. If you're willing to go down a London airport there's loads of very cheap flights to both Milan Airports even on the day of the game. Obviously you're gonna have to have a bit of travel, but that's part of the fun to me like. Getting to Kharkiv was more fun than the match itself If I hadn't already been to San Siro multiple times I'd definitely be going. Tbh I still might be tempted if it somehow goes to members sale.

Every train we used was on time - except one which was 2 minutes late. I am not going to Milan away, but if I was then I would have no qualms relying on trains - Verona is definitely and option - stunning place to visit. Yup - they're great, regular and affordable. Particularly in the north. I did four games (Venezia, Verona, Brescia and Milan Derby) in 48 hours on trains. You couldn't do that in the UK (largely because of kick off times too mind). Honestly if people do have the time and resources (although I honestly don't think it's that expensive if you look around) I'd even recommend bookending it with other (nicer) cities as opposed to just going direct to Milan.

I'm not a seasoned traveller tbh so I find a lot of the websites hard to navigate. I should be able to get a few days to try and make it a bit easier. I'll just have to spend a bit time working out the best routes in regards travel Vs price etc. Ta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lost trying to find my bus away at Everton 2 seasons ago and had to stop over in Liverpool for the night. There were 2 of us there. I'd be going myself to away european games so the chances of me not getting lost are very remote. Bit pissed off with myself to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 interested to see where people are travelling from. anything from Newcastle seems a right fuck about. not many issues if you're based down south, flights into Italy are reasonable and the train once there will be sound. getting down to London from Newcastle is the longest and most expensive part of it all, stupid fucking country.

Andy B Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Can someone explain the away ticket situation for Champions League. Are they in the ballot, if so can they be transferred to anyone, or just members, or not at all? Not in the ballot and was hoping friends could transfer if successful, but have heard conflicting reports... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1988 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I'm getting a train over to Milan from Nice (€40 rtn) on the morning of the game. Hoping tickets will drop to members sale but if not will have to chance it in the home section. My Italian is about as good as that fella from Inglourious Basterds though!

I think it's just a small % that require being collected with ID. Though in the case of Milan specifically, there will also be stewards/police? checking tickets match ID outside the stadium. I know of a couple of people that will be risking it (and praying that aren't in that small %). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve said there will be a ballot (probably only 200/300 tickets). However, if it reaches zero points anyway, and doesn’t sell out, it would seem pointless. Unless they ballot to Members? But no, you can’t transfer. Legally anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name and DOB was printed on his ticket pal - assume that's why we had to submit DOB and birthplace when we bought the tickets - apparently it is Italian policy. Mind, NUFC want shot with shit (for the 567th time this summer) for making people go somewhere to collect their ticket with ID on the day of the game meaning some people will have to go through the ID checks - shite.

Anderson Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Imagine the ‘small number’ of collections were in part due to logistics. They were planning for ST sales to go through to Sunday and a ballot after that. Imagine all ST sales will at least be fast-tracked to tomorrow now.

Shadow Puppets Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 If anyone has the cash and is just desperate to go, via work I’ve been sent the link to the official hospitality options. Cheapest is €299 and they’ve confirmed that it’s fine for NUFC fans to buy them. https://singletickets.acmilan.com/milan-newcastle-united/champions-league-23-24/premium/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
