Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2017 Tickets for the Eibar match aren't available through the club as yet. There are loads of 3rd party sites somehow offering them at ridiculous prices. Is this a bit of a scam to lure unsuspecting tourists into overpaying for tickets?

You can buy FA Cup Final tickets etc from them. They're just banking on getting tickets. A game against Eibar? You'll be fine waiting or going through something nearer the time. Although you've sorted the holiday part, keep an eye on footballbreaks.co.uk and other similar sites. Friends have used the former and they came through. perhaps if you email them they could help? Also, bit of a long shot but try messaging Sid Lowe, euan McTear and other Spanish experts/journos. Maybe they could give you advice? McTear wrote an excellent book on Eibar. Bro, try and get a ticket in the Eibar end. That'd be insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that they don't actually know the exact day/KO time 10-14 days before the match, it's looking like I'll have to look at grabbing one nearer the time. They have this system where every seat in the stadium is apparently owned by a ST holder but obviously not every ST holder goes to every game, so they sell the seats back to the club and those are the tickets that go on sale. I think vs Eibar it shouldn't be a problem getting a seat nearer the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing this is more an indication of how much time I spend on this forum, but as soon as I saw the first word I expected a swerve Roberto Carlos would be proud of.

Haha. "Bro, I actually invented Tiki Taka. Swear to god bro. Back in 99 bro. Me, Johan and creative" also @SpursRiot2012 the 2nd division fixtures are out. Perhaps you could see Barca B as well?

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2017 Nice. Will look into that. I'm planning on spending probably 2-3 full days out of the 5 I'm there in the city, so any extra things to do is always good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice idea, but the reserves are away to Valladolid on the weekend of the 19th/20th and don't have a midweek game either side of that.

Ah, well. Looked into seeing a Girona game as well since it's only an hour out of where I'm staying, but obviously they're playing (away) the same day I'd be going to see Barcelona. They're then playing Barcelona at home the day after I leave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Dude Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Actually, come to think of it, that Catalan derby (of sorts) could be a great shout. It'll definitely be brought forward from the Sunday due to Barça's Champions League commitments. What time's your flight back on the Saturday?

It's from BCN, so it's about, what, two hours-ish by train from Girona, I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Dude Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hmm, could be a bit of a rush to the airport unless it's a lunchtime kick-off, then. You're still better off with the original Eibar plan, I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divorced Dad Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'm going on holiday to Malta (staying in Sliena) on Monday for two weeks. Has anyone been before and got recommendations of things to do/places to visit/places to eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
