    I dispute that, the bulk of tickets for away games are distributed directly to fans by the ticket office, only away game tickets were scarce for in the last yrs was Basle MK1

    The only game tickets may be scarce for will be Montenegro & Italy but given our ability to source tickets I doubt if there will be shortage for either game.

    Travel agents ,I do hate these people I must say but my wife has just informed me that our Bari trip has cost to date Euro 1680 for two of us , due to cancelled flights booking two extra flights , train trips and so on . that's a hard one to swallow at the moment .

    e200 each (roughly) at the minute if:

    dublin - stansted, sunday morning, first flight

    stansted - bari, monday morning

    bari - stansted, friday morning

    stansted - dublin, friday evening

    so that's 400, plus 400 for accommodation for yourself and the good wife here: http://www.hostelworld.com/availabil...ano/Bari/16724

    plus car rental for about 100 from autoeurope (the cheapest i could find)....

    all in all, the trip could currently be arranged for about half of what you have paid already.... just to make you feel better, you understand.
    Superdave to the resc....

    Can you wait til I finish my pint? Or else...

    Without doubt if the game was to be played Rome and airlines and strikes were not on , I think we could have got away at least with 40% of that total . I booked flights in December and it has been problems ever since . Still sofia is as cheap as chips , errrrrr better now speak to soon I think .

    In life someone will always do cheaper or more expensive but what hurts the most when you have to book two extra flights each , two trains trips and a night in a hotel in London this is the killer when none of these were planned . Yes Hornet you have a point
