Nothing yet as far as I can see on the website.
The below may be of interest...
Real Madrid block Union Berlin fans from buying tickets online
All of the 3,840 tickets allocated to the German club were sold out in a few hours. Madrid want to avoid a repeat of what happened to Eintracht fans.

The article is about broader ticketing issues for that game, but the point is they got 4000 tickets in the group stages this season, so we should get the same.

According to that article, when we only gave Madrid the top tier in the 2nd Leg last season, that was in retaliation to them only giving us 1,800 allocation in the first leg??Nothing yet as far as I can see on the website.

Makes sense if it's true, I just didn't realise

I’m sure we gave them their full allocation, they just didn’t sell out (as per).

Yeah hadn't heard that before, tbf probably made no difference as they're lucky if they can rustle together 1500 for an away in Europe! Shocking away support from the Spanish clubs

Leipzig got 4250 tickets for their game. I suppose it should be the same for usNothing yet as far as I can see on the website.

Yes it's definitely a culture thing, in the past few seasons we've played Real, Atletico, Barca and Sevilla and none of them have taken anything close to a full away end. Sevilla brought about 50.
For a team that get 80,000 fans every home game and suposedly have the largest international following in the world, the fact they're unable to sell 3,000 tickets for an away UCL semi final is embarrasing

They had about 5,000 in our end according to Bluemoon.

Athletico playing the night after, at which point most City fans would have gone home. Likewise Dortmund fans won't arrive in their droves til the Wednesday. There'll undoubtably be an overlap of City and Dortmund fans in Madrid on the Tuesday/Wednesday but don't think that will be too bad? They're generally pretty civilised aren’t they? As are we.
So I don't understand what the issue is.
As for Athletico, do their fans routinely come out and cause trouble on nights they're not playing, just for the craic?

Haha.
I'd say they were tourists/fair weathers/glory hunters/half n half scalfers (select as approroaite) rather than actual die hard Madrid fans
The away fan experience in Spain probably puts most off.

Good point. If they treat domestic away fans the same as they do foreigners, I don’t think I’d bother going away either if I was a fan in Spain.

In my experience, the pre-match and post-match coppers in Madrid have always been sound, especially with our normal piss up shenanigans in Plaza Mayor.
The robocops at the stadium are different gravy, but you just need to not behave like a dickhead and all is well with the world.

i always stay near the ground so i can walk there and back - was thinking this year of getting the metro. If so, I know the metro is nearby - but what is it like after the game (and the 30 mins we are kept in). Anybody done it? Was it just meander to the metro and jump straight on, or are you joining a queue of thousands and it takes another bloody hour?
