Anyone else discovered this on their European travels?

At the game in Sofia, we were charged 30 leva (€15). The CSKA fans opposite us were charged 4 leva (€2).

Now I know the clubs set their own prices for the games, but this just doesn't seem right at all.

We're charging �20 in on Thursday and, IMO, we should charge the CSKA in the same way as they charged us (7.5 times the price of a normal ticket), making that �150 a pop for CSKA fans. If they've travelled from Bulgaria, they'll more than likely pay it.

Last year in Finland, the city council decided to let everyone into the stadium for free for our game, except for the 25 cork city fans who had to pay 15euro each.....

We paid €5 in Albania, rumours were that their fans were being allowed in free. Although I met a Vllaznia fan and they paid the equivalent of €4 in their money.

Didnt the same thing happen to Arsenal last year in the champions league when they played Villareal away,Villareal charged Arsenal fans way over the top for a match ticket compared to the home fans,must be a European thing

I think Villareal did the same with Man Utd fans from recollection they charged something like 60 quid a ticket to the away fans and somewhere around 25 to home fans.

Happened to Derry City in '03 away to Apoel Nicosia as well when we were charged five times what they paid.

If we break the 65% rule by 20 euro or less I am telling the FAI on you :D I have no doubt that Delaney and Co can fine a club for this ? (they can for most things).
A good excuse to sack our securitate as thy obviously are not doing their job.

Maybe that's why he went in for free. :)

Pretty sure that clubs aren't allowed to charge over the odd after complaints to uefa about fans being ripped off.

This text appears on uefa's FAQs

The price of tickets for supporters of the visiting club may not exceed the price of tickets of a comparable quality that are sold to supporters of the home club.

bottom of this page http://www.uefa.com/uefa/faq/index.html

Or Organisation > FAQ from the homepage.

It seems it used to appear in the CL regulations, but the paragraph where it appeared previously now refers to other regulations.

Neither game is on TV AFAIK...The bulgarian channel that showed the Derry 1st leg isn't showing the 2nd and RTE aren't obviously.

Still looking for Russian TV but I doubt the pats game is on.

Stephen Kenny's team talk has just been written:

Sofia chairman predicts Derry wipeout at the Brandywell (Independent.ie)

Quote:

THE confident chairman of CSKA Sofia has predicted that the Bulgarian side will score "two or three goals" in tomorrow's Europa League second-leg meeting with Derry City at the Brandywell.

Heard only 3 are travelling over ,its will cost them �1200 and plus they had to get their visa before the 1st leg which didnt help Pats fans either

There's 3 with the team. About 15/16 in total. Rough cost was between €1,000 and €1,200 for most but the biggest factor was having 1 working day to get visa application into Russian embassy in time. Pretty much anyone who had to talk it over with family was out (not to mention the 120 odd that were in malta struggling to get more time off work in peak periods)

Ah right, I see. Fingers crossed the job is finished out there and the next round is a lot closer to home then.

For any other L.O.I. fans thinking about coming up for the game the Derry City office have sold out of tickets for the game although a few local ticket outlets may still have some left.

Apparently a mini-bus and some carloads of CSKA fans have made there way to Derry across Europe for the game, while some people wouldn't cross the street to watch a L.O.I. team play. :eek:
