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
More importantly, if I don’t renew do I lose 30 from a few years ago?

I expect there will be some charter flights added in the coming days, so it is worth keeping an eye out if not made arrangements yet.

There is a table of points burried on the website.
I have 101 so am around 18,000 down. Tantalisingly close to the number of tickets available.

Given the cost, game abroad, weekend away etc I'm inclined to think it could drop down to my level.

Thinking I'll apply for a ticket and let fate decide.
115 - might do the same!

Flying to A Coruna on the Friday night, will probably grab a few hours kip in the airport and then an early morning domestic flight to Madrid. £120 for that and then going to look tomorrow for the best way to get back again!!!

All this even though I'll probably not get a ticket lol

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

Hi Guys,

First of all congratulations with the win. It was a fantastic game and showed what football is all about.
I already purchased a flight and a hotel in the centre of madrid for the final but as Ajax now is out I hopefully can make someone of you happy.

I have a hotel (2 person room) in Madrid for May 31 and June 1 (Friday and Saturday - night) and a flight (for 2) from Brussel to Madrid and back (May 31 - June 4). It cost me in total 800 euro. As hotel prices are now completely crazy hopefully I can make someone happy with the hotel (and if you want - also the flight, for the hotel I can for sure still change the names - for the flight have to check but normally should be able to change too). A total of 800 euro would work for me as I do not want to make a profit out of it.

If you are interested - please send me a personal message.

And finally, best of luck in the finals - you guys deserve to win it! Special thumps up to Toby, Jan, Davison and Christian!

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.

I'm sure (hoping?!) that 16,000 is the figure for tickets given to regular fans and they'll give more for spurs' corporate lot. Seems that's defo the case for Liverpool and spurs would look awful if they don't do the same. I'm relying on that though so perhaps blinded by optimism.

I think the sponsor numbers come out of the 35k uefa family. It’s 16k to the actual fans of each club.

Apparently it’s unlikely because of the problems Boeing are having with their planes. All the holiday charter companies have taken them so there are less of these type of city flights. That was from some travel guy on talkSPORT.

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.

I agreed to that hammered and over excited last night with my mates. Had to soberly tell them this morning that I didn’t have enough leave to do that.

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.

How do you find out details of the official travel?

If thats the case that would be a damn bonus and would definitely get a ticket havingsaid that im sure there are box holders or the premium lot that would also take up a fair few of those 16k... I guess rightly so given theyre paying in the money.

We will soon find out but im just so sceptical about getting one - fingers crossed.

3 of us have booked flights with absolutely no idea where to sleep or how much we're willing to pay for a ticket. We fly to Malaga on the day itself, 3hr train to Madrid that arrives at 5pm. Then spend a desperate couple of hours trying to achieve the impossible. No accommodation anywhere in Madrid, so hopefully score some pills off the scousers (before they lose) to keep us up until the return train journey. to dare is to do...

Lads, consider flying to one of the North European hubs like Copenhagen or Stockholm and go from there.....

I’m away in Kiev from May 20th-May 24th; have genuinely considered extending my trip there for another few days and then flying to Madrid via Poland.

Just means being away from home for 2 weeks and I don’t know if it’s going to be plausible.

It will be done on loyalty points. Has to be. Won’t matter if you’re premium or not.

I’m coming from Canada, managed to book a flight and got a twin room in a hotel 30mins from Madrid. If anyone has a spare ticket... I have a spare bed in the room ?
