I'm on the match day return flights with vueling from Manchester. Anyone have any tips on getting from the ground to the airport after the match? I expect it could be more complicated than just flagging a cab...

Thanks in advance

You can take the L3 Green Line metro from Maria Cristina or Les Corts to Barcelona Sants (Sants Estacio), which is the main train station. There's trains from there to the airport every 30 mins, I think. The first part is only 2 or 3 stops on the metro, and then the train will take about 25 mins.

Or get the Metro to Plaza Catalunya and jump on the Aerobus A1 for Terminal 1 and A2 for Terminal 2, or grab a taxi if there are any around.

Don't know what it's like getting a taxi after a game, but with 90,000 people wandering about, I imagine it's not easy.

Really helpful - thanks mate

Take note: Aerobus from Plaza Espanya on the Green line much easier. The bus stop, one for T 1 and the other for T2, outside the Plaza Hotel. (BTW, a lot of away teams stay here, not sure if City will be there). Close to Sants Estaciò and closer to the airport. So if you are running late you will catch it after it leaves Plaza Catalunya.

In my experience, the bus is faster and more convenient then the train. Lugging your bags in Sants Est. and finding your track is not recommended.

Didn't realise ticket details had gone on website until yesterday . Bit worried points only go down to 9000 as I have 7600 and flights/hotel booked . Thought we had 5000 tickets is that not right ? Anyone know if it's likely tickets will go to less than 9000 points ?

See the thread on Barca Away Criteria, seems nobody really knows the answer to this one

So it looks like we will have 5 thousand in town without a ticket. Whats the best plan to get a home end ticket. Around the ground or in town? Whats a fair price? which bar would be best to watch on the TV?

Having 5 days out there without any tickets yet. Looks like the home section will be our only hope.
