Like @OneTonyHenry , i was also determined to be there. After an arduous 30 minute tram ride i was in a pub in town mithering for a ticket. I had a ton in my pocket but was nowhere near enough. Went up to ground later and even dearer there so ended up watching in the Waldorf.Go on, how much did you pay for your ticket? The most I had paid for a long time was £45 to watch us away at Grimsby under KK, having missed the swat tickets going on sale. £45 was a lot in them days, the John Smith Stand if I remember correctly

Most i've ever paid was £50 for Barcelona at ours.
Great to see another old timer on this thread. Hope you're well.The Waldorf on that day was basically the next best thing to being in the ground. The emotions were off the scale.

It was fucking mental in there. I lost my shit when Dzeko scored and was outside, in the gutter, shouting down a grid when the winner went in.
Stayed in Waldorf for dancing on tables etc where it got even messier before getting off and dancing round most of Manchesters finest.Did you go to the ground afterwards ? We did - I think there's a picture somewhere of me inside which someone on here sent me at some point!

How much were touts asking for tickets? I’ve not heard this one before.
I was quoted 900 pounds in the Waldorf.
