Hoping that's not the case! Got to Naples and Kharkiv so would be gutted to miss out on this one. Shame there's no priority given to those who have gone to previous European away matches in the same season.

Agreed. I'd happily have it based on previous attendances at European games over the previous few seasons. I think Liverpool and some other clubs do it that way.Hoping that's not the case!

No method of ticket distribution is perfect though and you can't please everyone.

Agreed and I think the City points system is a fair way of doing things.

We fly to Stuttgart on the Monday from Manny, that cost £24, then the train to Basel which is about 2 hours and costs €20-€30. Got an apartment for three of us that’s £70 each for two nights then fly back to manny from Basel on Weds. the flight back’s £90 so all in for just over £200 which I reckon’s a good deal. Went there on the way to Monaco last year coz our flight to Berlin got cancelled and we had to go there instead for a night. Asked for a bowl of chips in the boozer and the mush quoted me the equivalent of £15 so I politely declined. £10 a pint so we might nip over the French border for a few liveners at a third of the price for a few hours before coming back into town

I’m staying in Lörrach just over the German border for this exact reason. Much cheaper for digs and beer, was recommended it by a red mate who went with them.

How far is it from Basel pal? We might meet you for a bratwurst and a bitburger pils or two!

Can’t find it that cheap,ditched the Ryanair flights (£20) flying via Brussels now £75 but in Basel at 4-00We fly to Stuttgart on the Monday from Manny, that cost £24, then the train to Basel which is about 2 hours and costs €20-€30.

Exactly, so if I enter with the car and not use the motorway I won't need a viginette.
And you wouldn't be forced to purchase it
We’ve booked for 3 nights in Basel and the amount I drink £10 a pint is a bit of a concern. I’ve done some research and there’s a bar near one of the bridges called Johanniter Bar where it’s just over five quid a pint. It might not be the best bar in town but at that price I think it’s the dogs bollocks.I’m staying in Lörrach just over the German border for this exact reason.

We're doing the Stuttgart route and 3 nights in Basel. Think we may well head back over the border either early on match day or all day on Weds. It will be great drinking in Germany as the more we drink the more we save. Love Euorpean aways!!!
5pm on the Monday mate!What time u arrive in Basel ?

I'm tempted to do this but i'm travelling in from Zurich. How easy is it to get to Lorrach at night? We arrive in Basel for about 8.30pm if we get the train from Zurich.
Also wondering how we'd get there after the game? Would taxi's be expensive and travel over the border?

Hopefully they will re-introduce the ticket collection for this one.
Why ?

Because it usually makes it easier for those just on the cusp of getting a ticket.Why ?

Is it more expensive than Zurich? On average I've been paying 8 CHF, sometimes more sometimes less. Still expensive but not ten quid.
