Getting to Basel...

[njackets]

Me and my mates are going on my private jet with a load of brasses and cocaine. We haven't even got any tickets either.

If you added the fact it was all Scousers on board this could well be a Blue European away tale!

If you look at the French language site, and let's say you leave from GVA airport 1 pm, and get back the following day leaving Basel 9 am, the trains are 40 CHF each way, 80 CHF altogether.

 

Thats 60 pounds per person.

 

Then, details would be needed, prices may go up.  I live in the Geneva region, won't go to Basel as my son has his final exams at the Uni in the UK, no fun without him.  Glad to help, if needed.

Hi mate, I'm doing the same as ginger hulk and wouldn't mind a bit of advice.

 

Seen these Swiss travel passes knocking about. Would they cover the train to and from Basel?

 

Would we need to book seats on the train do you reckon?

Does anybody on here know how many tickets are beng made available in tomorrow's ballot by any chance? I'm guessing its about 4k tops which probably gives an entrant a 1 in 4/5 chance.

 

Still absolutely fucking scandalous though not surprising that Uefa chose such a small venue for a final. Also can't believe that Hicks & Gillett continue to haunt us with their shit dealings.

[Anubis]

Likely less than 4k after the guarantees were taken out. Probably nearer 2k, although I've heard estimates of less.

[Anubis]

Update on the LFC website. Approximately one in seven chance. So about 2,400 tickets then.

 

Liverpool Football Club would like to update supporters on the ticket selling process for the Europa League final against Sevilla in Basel on Wednesday May 18.

 

Tickets are currently on sale to season ticket holders, members and fan card holders who have recorded eight or more Europa League matches in 2015-16.

 

More than 17,000 fans have registered for the general sale ballot and have approximately a one-in-seven chance of being successful and having the opportunity to purchase a ticket on Wednesday.

 

Results of the ballot will be published on Liverpoolfc.com on Tuesday at 1pm BST.

 

LFC strongly advises supporters not to travel to Basel without a match ticket. The surrounding infrastructure in Basel is only set up for match attendees. Transport will be restricted and all local accommodation is sold out.

 

Full details of the selling process are available online by clicking here.

Friends going via Geneva. Think that price is cheaper than they have been quoted

[GR10 LFC]

Just got an email confirming I was successful. Buzzing!!!

Just had an email back from the Geneva train station.

 

They recommend a swiss transfer ticket,, which works out at 100quid return.

 

13quid cheaper than what I looked at.

 

Give me a DM and il send you the email they've just sent me.

Just been quoted 100quid return.

 

Let me know if you want the link so your mates can use it.

4 of us in ballot but no luck. Well done to anyone who was successful.

Yeah, you're correct.  First time I looked I neglected the part "prices start from".  Now I checked in detail, the regular price is around 113 pounds, 2nd class.  What they recommended makes sense.  Sorry about the confusion.

[Reckoner]

I've booked with coach innovations, with a hotel on Tuesday for £35 in Milhouse. Need my head tested.

[Reckoner]

*Fucking Mulhouse

[an tha]

Had 7 europa games on card so was in ballot with i believe 17,000 others with 7

games for about 2,500 tickets......got nothing.

 

There are 6 of us who have cards linked on 'friends and family' one scored all the rest of us didn't.

[derykw]

I was the only one of five to be successful in the ballot.

 

I was gonna give my ticket to my son who has never been to a Euro final but I'm giving it to my wife's Grandad. He's 82 and has been to every European and domestic cup final since and including the 1950 FA Cup final.

 

We're all still going like, the flights are booked and I'm sure we'll still have a boss time.

 

Over to you now Redmen.

[njackets]

Pure fume going on on my Facebook over this ballot, the club needs to pull UEFA over this bullshit! Imagine a Manc v Liverpool final pure carnage.

[Sugar Ape]

Just seen this on Twitter... South Africa.

Multimillionaire Referee Jonas Eriksson will officiate the #UEL final next week. #lfc

 

Eriksson has officiated us twice before. Away defeats at Benfica and at Basle #lfc

 

 

[Reckoner]

Got a spare place on the coach £169, leave Monday 10 am,

Get to Mulhouse Tuesday Morning to hotel then relax all day. Wednesday morning travel to Basel 25 mins. After match, coach back to Uk.

Lots of pick up places between Liverpool and Dover.

Interested,

Just PM me and I'll give you the company to contact about swapping name over.

[gingerhulk]

All sorted.

 

Just bought my train tickets from Geneva to basel.

 

For one day, this is costing me a fortune. 

 

Up the reds!!!

[Tony Moanero]

That's generous of the greedy cunts. All finals should be free to air!

[LFC 6 Times]

Think I've a ticket in with the Seville fans anyone have any experience sitting with foreign crowds?

[Sugar Ape]

[Joe Strummer]

Anyone tempted to watch at the ECHO? Big screen is tempting and easier getting to and from bar.
