Bodo Away

I booked flights & a hotel for this as soon as they dates were announced in August for me & my wife, going out Sunday coming back Wed Morning. She has no interest in the game so the plan was to go and look around for a few days as we like going random places, id go to the game and she'd stay at the hotel while the game was on (hotel is 15 mins walk from the stadium)

I knew the allocation would be low and it'd be touch & go but at the time had the thought of "where there a will there's a way" & i'll get one & was hoping Artic Circle in Jan wasn't everyone's cup of tea. In hind sight, I should have done more research on the allocation & should have known that a chance to go to a new random ground for those at the very top of the points table would be my undoing.

Saw the criteria the other day, have accepted the fate that i don't have a chance of one getting one, even a last min drop out so have cancelled my hotel (free cancellation) and flights. I'm down about £200 on my flights as Scandinavian airways apparently only give back a certain amount on cancellations. Its a long & expensive way to go to listen to the game outside the stadium if i can't get in and we'll look o re book around that area in the summer when its light pretty much all day rather than dark all day

Good luck to those that qualify, here's hoping we get them again at some point and the novelty wears off for some
You should have gone. You’d have got a ticket. There is always a way in if you’re determined enough.
 
Three coldest matches ever?
Boro FA Cup Away
Shrewsbury FA Cup Away ( snowballs chucked at Malcom Allison)
Everton home one January, can’t remember when…
Coventry Highfield Road 80s ? Think it was a 0-0 draw , snow and ice everywhere, feckin' freezing, couldn't feel me toes!

I'm not looking for a row, but I would respectfully suggest that until the club becomes more transparent and publishes the exact number of supporters in each points category, then we have no idea whether 70-80 "big hitters" buying a ticket for Bodo, dispels any perpetuated myth, or on the contrary just proves that some of them took one look at CL draw last September and opted for a January trip to Norway over yet another trip to Madrid etc.

Otherwise the highest 3,000 would have been in the Bernabeu last fortnight and the tickets would have sold out at around 26,000 points

Meanwhile I've travelled to all the European games this season and am stupid enough to be currently considering paying £500 for a Bodo ticket from a dodgy internet ticket agency
I class the bit hitters as the supporters over the 31000 loyalty points mark and these are the people who go to virtually every match.
Also by the sales criteria for Bodo and the amount sold in each window up to now ,you can see how many supporters approx are in each bracket.
33500 plus including superbia,approx 55 supporters purchased tickets
33000 plus ,approx 40 supporters purchased tickets
32000 plus, approx 40 tickets sold
31500 plus,approx 13 tickets sold.
At 11am 72 tickets remain.
