Champions League Final in Madrid - travel arrangements

soup · May 9, 2019

They said on Radio One this morning that it might be worth booking up a package holiday somewhere kinda nearby in Spain for the week, just for a normal 'holiday' flight and not a desperate 'CL Final' flight and then roll over to Madrid for a night or two in the duration of the holiday. Sounds great in practice.

LP - loyalty points
ST - Season ticker holders
OHM - one hotspur members.

There are roughly 13000 ST holders and 1000 OHM with over 200 points. Another 6000 between 150 and 200 points so the cut off will likely be somewhere around there.

Edit - sorry, it looked much better in the preview!!

Members have sweet FA chance of a ticket so not worth putting them on the table, would be easier to read then.

After a frantic hour or so, I've got my flights and accommodation booked - coming from Florida.

If anyone needs somewhere to crash on Saturday night in exchange for hooking me up with a ticket, DM me!

can't DM you because of your settings but if you are serious about having spare accom, please DM me.

I looked at loads of alternatives this morning traveling via Paris, Milan, Venice, Bordeaux, Lisbon and loads of others and none of them came out cheaper than the official club travel (£559) after you add accommodation on so I've gone with them.

I realise I'm in a fortunate position in being confident of getting a ticket and not many of others can do that route.

Dad and I have gone for the Thomas cook sports package, which somewhat relied on there still being spaces on the plane when we get our tickets and spurs provide info to TC.

Can I ask - is this through the Thomas Cook football package? Usually it comes with a guaranteed ticket I think - I suspect in this case it doesnt?

Yep via Thomas Cook but they only take the money and confirm your booking once the Club have allocated you a ticket.

Just got on the website (after queuing) and yeah no ticket and only if its guaranteed you got a ticket. Still 559 is a lot cheaper than another route i guess.

Worth remembering for anyone looking to book coaches/buses/trains for Saturday after the game that it kicks off 9pm local time, so if it goes extra time or pens it's going to be a late finish and likely most transport will be finished.

Im really hoping for either people drop dead or people decided not to go cos of the costs or just decide not to go.

Im loking for snookers to get a ticket - I have 190 points.

Fucks sakes

You’ll be alright on 190 I think. I’m on 208 and expecting to get one. Unless I’m really mistaken.

Ha, snap.

What points are you? We’re 347 and 356 so I can’t see us not getting tickets, and the package you only pay if you get a ticket, so I thought it was the best bet.

216 points and already booked flights and accommodation. My brain does not function with the idea of not getting a ticket.

Much less hassle isn't it, 363 for me so like you should be okay. I did the day trip for the AC Milan game with the club and it was really well organised, takes the stress out of everything knowing they've sorted everything and you're not being ripped off for accommodation.

Wonder how many people they take on the package as if I don’t get on not sure why I’ll do!

If we don’t get on then only choice will be to pay through the nose.

The earlier your ticket window, the more chance you’ll have. Also, there appears to be far more fans making individual travel arrangements than not, which should help.

I’ve only 219 so not that high in the scheme of things

I think you may be mistaken... You're basing it on the 16k tickets or so being given to fans I'm assuming? I'm expecting 9 to 10k being given to fans with the rest given to sponsors etc...

Only assuming rather than anything else.

If you register with Thomas Cook and get a ticket (which I think I will) then will there be enough spaces or do you run the risk of them being full up?

EJWTartanSpur · May 9, 2019

Is anyone going to Madrid just to be there, as opposed to hoping/thinking they are going to get a ticket ? I'm of a mind that Im going but not at all thinking I'll get a ticket

Spurs 1961 · May 9, 2019

Can’t book anything as I don’t have many points just 143 but if I pay for season ticket renewal now will I get my 30 points right away? Probably not I expect
