My son went to this game, you can get directed to the ticket touts by stewards and barter for your ticket, I hasten to add less than face value, you can still smoke, have a beer at your seat, yes and unlike the forever reasons in this country, families still do go and enjoy the electric atmosphere, flags on every seat, there is a separate section for the hard core vocal supporters and all in the delights of 26c. Is it safe, well 56,000 supporters all went home without trouble. Well it's obviously not in the for ever safety conscious, pompous UK but at a match where you can still enjoy the delights of football, while also enjoying a nice cold beer at the same time, the place, I'll let you guess, it's quite easy so no cheating and googling it please; please log in to view this image
Atletico's main sponsor is the Azerbaijan tourist board so that's probably right from the banner on the pitch. Haven't got the foggiest idea what the stadium is called.
Vicent Calderon Stadium (spelling??) i watched their game last night vs malaga and heard the name then.
That's correct, my lad reckoned it was awsome. Although he didn't go in the ultras section, he was advised that really is only hardcore in there. Amazed he got a ticket only hours before kick off, he said he nearly gave up all hope until he found the tout, seventy euro seat for for 55, all legit, something to do with season ticket allocations but can't quantify that more. Bit much for a football match for my liking but once in a lifetime experience i suppose while he is out there.
Barcelona v A Madrid title decider today on same time as the FA Cup final, shame about the scheduling but can't odds that.
