Sorry, but if that's the best ground you've been to, then you've visited some dumps. You need a rope, crampons and an ice pick to get to the seats if the escalators aren't working. The dodgy merchandise sellers are a pain as well, they actually couldnt believe we didn't want any Madrid tat.On the subject of tickets - Can't remember what it went down to for the semi final but my mate went out there without a ticket as it had already sold out. We had to get a wristband as well as your ticket, he managed to get the wristband off some bloke who was that leathered he couldn't get in the ground!
For me it's the best stadium I've been to, the two times we've played there the weather has been incredible too, both times have been a great occasion too - when Dzeko put us 1 up in 2012 it went absolutely barmy in the away end, the semi final was one of the most disappointing displays I've seen of City in the Mansour era, however semi final 2nd leg of the Champions League away to Real Madrid - doesn't get bigger than that does it? Madrid is an incredible city, much better than Barcelona in my opinion, the only downside as with any trip to Spain is the police are always looking to twat you.
Hard to gauge if there will be more/less demand as that game was the semi final but for this game people will have 2 paydays to save for it, plus there's high chance we'll be at Wembley the following weekend. Doubt it'll go to general sale, if you're not on the CL scheme you may be struggling.
Not booked anything yet but I'm more than likely going to go.

A toss up between Lokeren, Poznan and the Amsterdam Arena :)Probably been to 90+ stadiums in the UK and Europe, so yes I have visited some dumps, what's your number one?
Didn't do Lokeren as I was only 15 at the time, but went to Poznan and Ajax. Poznan was alright as a stadium, Ajax I was there in body but not in mindA toss up between Lokeren, Poznan and the Amsterdam Arena :)
It's a class City and ground. Lucky enough to have a girlfriend from Madrid so gonna be a good few days.On the subject of tickets - Can't remember what it went down to for the semi final but my mate went out there without a ticket as it had already sold out.

Don't forget that Madrid will be seriously weakened after they sell Bale to the rags in January.
