Might be watching this with my buddy{ Juve fan}.

The one nice aspect of your team not competing in a big cup final, you don't have to worry about the nerves.

Liam Brady must be delighted to see Juve back in the final again.

Chelsea being up there is a bit of a suprise, their first appearance in CL was in 1999.

It's not Including the European cup, it's only since the format became UCL

Pretty interesting stats. Goals scored by each team in the Champions league + C. Ronaldo is there as an all time goal scorer.

Ours Alessandro has 42 in this competition so it means he scored more than Fiorentina or Napoli.

Ronaldo, monster.

 

[baggio]

Crazy how we have 39 more goals than Meelan in the CL and they have 5 more CL's than us. Crazy stat if ever there was one.

I wouldn't use the word "reliable". Plus you'll be badly ripped off, but there are few other avenues.

Any other suggestions JJ? Turns out middlemen here are even worse than Viagogo. Am getting category 1 ticks at 3500 Euros. Insane. Viagogo is pegging it slightly lower. Any other third party vendors online? Problem is there is little or no chance with the likes of 2017cardiff.it

It's a bit of a precarious situation for me coz I renewed my Uk visa, which should be here Tuesday, but I can't really buy flight ticks or do hotel bookings till I get a hand on match ticks.

I'm curious to see how much the touts will be charging outside the stadium just before kick off.

Normally it's anywhere from €1k-2k

If they didn't have a buyer and it was just as kick off was coming might be lucky to get it cheaper than €1k

 

[JuveJay]

What other avenues?

I had a look and dont mind paying those rates at viagogo for the final but I wouldnt do it if I am not going to get the tix. Didnt someone in this forum ordered tix thru viagogo once but it wasnt delivered?

Sorry, the English language is a bit of a bastard like that, there is a big difference between "few" and "a few". What I was saying is that you don't have many other options to get a ticket.

Checking out touts before the game is risky business. I wouldn't do that alone, either. You don't want to be walking around in crowds having several people think you have a lot of cash on your person.

Guys, I'm moving from Bulgaria to the UK on the 25th of May and since I'll be living in Birmingham, I am tempted to go to Cardiff for the final. The distance is less than 200km, but I am not really aware of the bus/train situation. Anyone familiar care to summarize what's the best and cheapest way to get there? I don't plan on accommodation as I'll be celebrating the cup all night no jinx intended

Train will be the easiest and cheapest way to get there, I'm pretty sure. Go to Birmingham New Street station and ask for a return ticket to Cardiff Central. I just had a look now and the return tickets are about £28. You can walk to the stadium in a few minutes from the train station.

I think you have a few days to use the return ticket as well, but I'd ask when you buy the ticket. Usually it's about 5 days.

 

[dbochev]

Great man, thanks! That is similar info to what I've found so far. I suppose it's better to purchase train tickets from now, as prices will go up approaching the date? Probably a stupid question, but the situation in bulgaria is entirely different.

It's possible with the final in mind, there will be more people travelling into Cardiff that day so I'd probably book now.

What area of Birmingham are you moving to?

 

[dbochev]

Dordon, just a small village 18 miles from the city.

Ah you're in Warwickshire there mate, not the West Meeeedluuuunds I'm from Coventry so you're not far from me.

 

[dbochev]

Have no idea where I'm going actually I quit my job in a major French bank in Bulgaria to start working minimum wage in England. That sums up how lovely the situation in the Balkans is. Would absolutely love a beer with a fellow juventino some time. Or should I say fellow juventino mate

Good, hopefully that ends really bad for you, irrespective of the result.

This doesn't include European Cup goals. Besides, Milan haven't featured in the last 3 seasons (in which time we've racked up 48 goals.)

Are you broken?

 

[Klin]

Are you broken?

No, but I'd understand if you are.

 

[89man]

No, but I'd understand if you are.

Fair enough, do you want to just leave it at that so?
I'd gladly have no issue with you Klin.

Do you recommend Viagogo though?
