So two days ago I went to the ATM to withdraw money, something I very raRely do but it was a special case then that I had to make a cash payment.

I also clicked yes to print the paper that comes out and it is also something I very rarely do. But sometimes things happen for a reason.

I looked at the paper and saw the latest transactions and discovered a big amount taken out and i had no idea what it was 2965 kr (Equivalen to €300) is a lot of money to go unoticed and it was marked by NYON which made the description even stranger.

I stayed confused and eager for a while then I picked up the phone and called the bank. I was at work and didn't have the digipass with me so I had to go to the classical call-the-bank-procedure.

I called the bank the first question was if I have the digipass :wallbang:

I don't have the digipass so I went through a series of questions to confirm it was me speaking, surprise surprise, it was me.

-Jack: There is a sum of 2965 kr withdrawn from my account and I would like to know where it is gone.

-Lady: it is something UEFA ticket Mos...

I interrupt saying thank you and shut the phone

I open my email and find this:

    Congrats, Jack! Very cool.

    Just try to avoid the Putin Rivals' Memorial tribuna. I hear they give out commemorative stadium seat cushions made out of polonium 210. :scared:

    Congrats Jack. Just curious, was it 300 euro per ticket or total? And is that considered cheap?
    It is 300€ for two tickets. This is considered cheap. UEFA release 3 categories for the final 300€, 150€ and 80€ per ticket. The moment I decided to go for the thing I was intending to sell them afterwards so I went for category 2 to increase my margin and avoided category 1 because it will minimize my chances to win.

    I would sell anyway! Congratulations!
    On ebay today two tickets category 2 were sold for 2000 €. I am waiting a couple of weeks, statistics say a pair of category 2 can be sold for 4000 €.

    jack i believe it is time to recall a favour of bottle of whisky:malt:

    nah congrats mate but just imagine it is a barca v anybody final, and barca win :shifty:
    I will pay back the gift somehow but I am sorry this is on a higher margin, even though you deserve it :malt:


    By the way, the final I will avoid no matter what will be Barca - Inter.

    Niceeeeeeee.
    Say hi to Moscow. You're lucky you won't be seeing it during the bloody presedential elections where Zyuganov's face is watching you from every single billboard. :(

    Congrats Jack !

    P.S: You're there only for the final on Wednesday or you'll stay few
    days more ?

    P.S 2 : Oh, so you plan to sell the tickets :(
