Right i brought one in the Barca end off Viagogo(Cunts i know)Anyone else done this? Are they even legit?
I have no doubt that the Viagogo tickets are legit (hope so cos I've bought 2). My only concern is that they may not deliver them to a UK address. I have a horrible feeling that I may get an e-mail from them a few days before the game saying this and refunding my money.
I've paid £170 for each of the tickets. Although I'm not happy paying that, I've already spent £1200 for three of us for flights/hotel and my ticket. So another £200 above face value so we all get in - it had to be done.
I spoke to a guy who has been to the Nou Camp 20+ times as part of his job. He advised me:
Buy tickets in the "General Area". This is considered to the neutral area (similar to Fulham) and gets filled with tourists. No real Barca fan would be seen in there.
The General Area is on level 5. The Nou camp is an open bowl and you can walk around different areas (except VIP) similar to at Bayern Munich. He is not certain but reckons the segregation is normally that lax you may be able to walk into the City area unhindered (his words).
City fans should have no problem getting into the Barca areas of the ground as long as they do not show colours. Behind the goals is where the more hardcore Barca fans sit, particularly the North end. If you let it known you are a City fan in there you may get thrown out. At the sides and the general areas you will probably get away with it as long as you don't take the piss.
He reckons that there definitely will be tickets available before the match from touts/season ticket holders but will be pricey, prices come right down close to kick off (last 15 mins or so) if you are prepared to chance it. I'm taking my lad with me so don't want to risk it as he will be gutted if he doesn't get in.
Just seen the post above - looks like they will get delivered.
