UEFA Champions League 2018-2019

I haven’t yet, no

People are trying to charge £3,000 per ticket & I need two. I’m not willing to pay that much. I will pay £1500 each, maybe £2,000 each maximum.

I still have two guys trying to find tickets for me (they’re ticket touts - google that if you don’t understand the English bro).

I’m hopeful of getting two but it’s not guaranteed. If I can’t get tickets I will watch on big screens in Madrid with our fans. I already have flights & 3 days in a hotel in Madrid centre.

Best of luck mate, you are going to need it to score that tickets. Maybe you can get them last minute when somebody is forced to not come.

It always pisses me of when I see empty seats in best rows for events which are sold out and it happens very often. I guess some of those people that get sponsored tickets can't be even bothered to sell if they are not coming. Probably few thousands pounds means nothing to them.

Exactly correct.

UEFA are scum. The stadium holds about 65,000. LFC & Spurs get 16,000 each. The rest goes to sponsors & UEFA partners. It’s a joke tbh.

Talking about the odds currently some of sportbooks provide the odds for them is not so different that Liverpool odds @1.76 and Tottenham odds @2.06 but as the comments above me if near to matchday most of people bets for Liverpool because seems they were the favourite in this match then possibly the odds for Liverpool will be decrease

I think if you are supporting Liverpool the current odds of 1.76 is good pick. This may decease near the match or at the start of the match, so its a good point to place the bet right now in the favor of Liverpool.

There are other safer choices, both teams to score because this is the final match so each team will try to be the best

[Trofo]

I call those kind of sites - "pool betting". All the money goes into the pool and then those who chose correctly divide the spoils in percentage of money invested. I always try to use sites like that just before the match starts since the odds can be quite different than in regular bookies. If you place a bet too early (as you did) things can end up very poorly for you. Example. Everybody bets on LFC you will end with odds of 1.05 and if you waited you could have placed a bet on draw @15 which has great value. Of course this is just example and will probably not happen for a game like CL finals where I expect the odds to be quite near regular ones.

So for a match if most of the people predict a team and if they win then eventually the outcome of the bet will be lesser? I will be getting good return if less people bet for the team I have chosen and if they win of-course.

Just trying to clear up my understanding.

Exactly. Good thing about pool betting is that there is no house margin and sometimes you can get great odds value, especially if you have a feeling that underdog has a good chance of pulling let's say a draw. Odds are changing each time someone puts a bet and you have to try to use that to your advantage. Meaning placing a bet as close to the match start as possible so you know the odds because they aren't set at the moment when you place the bet.

You can think of it like office pool. There is 40 guys and each puts something on the bet. You can't calculate the odds until last person has made his choice known.

If you would like to try pool betting for free give bethereum a try. That is link with my ref, never used it before but we both should get 250 of their betting tokens if you go trough it. If you prefer a link without ref use this one https://gaming.bethereum.com/, doesn't make much difference to me since I already have a shitload of their fake money but it should help you bit. They are a new project in testing phase and at the moment you can only play with "fake money", they even have some competitions going but it is probably too late to enter this last one now.

I'd rather buy BTC instead of buying overpriced tickets.    And that doesn't include hotel bills, food, drinks and cab rides which can cost a lot.

That reminds me that £3,000 can buy a piece of land and start a new building in my country. It will be very annoying if your team manages to loose after paying such an amount to go and see them play.

I Agree and will go also with a 2 sides score count at least, still not sure what team will win. With both teams going for the extra bits it also to worry that players try to over do. Lets hope for a great game !

Seriously?  A piece of land and a new building?  Tell me where that is and I'll move there after the next crypto bull run.  Lolol.

Well, in life you have other stuffs too not just BTC. I mean I would also love too but sometimes we make choices to entertain us. I think in life whatever we do, we do it to make us happy.

And definition of happiness is not the same for everyone.

True true.

Why not? Anyone can have a property here once you abide by rules and regulations (nothing serious regarding bitcoin now). It is a free country and hospitality is at its best here.

I would do the same as you but you can judge those people that have some much loyalty for their team that they would spend all their money just for buying a ticket and go watch Liverpool winning the Champions League. If I put myself in their situation I would definitely do the same thing regardless of the price of the ticket, I would do anything to optain one.

I haven't been to a football game in ages partly because of the price but also the atmosphere. I've seen kids crying their eyes out because of all the degeneracy and shouting and swearing and fighting in the stands.  I don't even watch the games in pubs any more. Too many louts smashing pint glasses every time a goal goes the other way. Fully grown men behaving like children. It's embarrassing.

There are countries where you can buy land very cheap, but I'm pretty sure Thailand has strict rule about foreigners owner land/properties and businesses there. They usually have to get their thai wife or ladyboy lover to buy them in their name lolol. I bet that ends up badly in most cases.

To me, I can not afford to spend that much money for a ticket although I have Liverpool in my heart.

I will love to see LFC manages to get the tickets for him and his girlfriend coz I know he is giving everything to find them.

Buy a nice TV set up and stay at home and watch it in glorious 4k instead, Eat all the snacks and drinks you want at about 80% cheaper as well and you don't have to worry about being punched in the face or doused in someone elses beer.

Liverpool are by far the favorites in most places I've seen. The odds will drop if Kane is 100% playing. Personally I wouldn't bet on the outright market here. I'd go for goals and a lot of cards. Could get heated.

Money money money. All UEFA and FIFA care about is money and keeping their sponsors happy so they give them the best seats and luxury boxes so they can impress their clients and sidechicks. Most of them will probably get sold on in the secondary market as well because the value of them will be sky high so genuine fans will have to pay extortionate amounts just to see the game.

we all have our preference but the stadium experience is always going to be different and will be a memorable event especially for a UEFA fixture that we have.....
You miss this one you might as well have to wait for another century for an English all final.

[buwaytress]

@Sutters: I can completely understand your criticism of football, and for the most part I do agree. But I'm a football person myself. Been on almost every side of the game. Played it from a young age, went to the matches in my hometown. My own team was a typical blue-collar club from southeast Asia: mostly state-owned, sponsors are a local sportswear shop, you know where all the players come from. Half of them smoked.

They played many of our matches under heavy armed police escorts. We saw the politics, felts the players represent our state and club, and all the frustrations of our working dads and our selves vented on match nights. The football was terrible, the pitches were worse, the fans were probably of no better people than the ones you described. My earliest memories of football were the smell of piss, sweat, cheap liquor, cheap burgers, steamed nuts and clove cigarettes all rolled in one. It was rude, it was dirty, it was unpleasant... but even as a kid it was incredible. When your team won, when we made comebacks... people would pick me up and let me see above the heads. I recall a cup final in 1999 when we made it all the way to the capital. We lost to a rich team, got totally outplayed, lost 2-1, but it was so strange to see their small group of supporters all polite and seated... it was as if they weren't enjoying the game!

I've also managed futsal comps, played in a semi-pro league, and looked for sponsors for my team, so I see all the sides and yeah the commercial aspects are the shits. How kids could afford seeing games I don't know. Those tickets? Costs to watch a club play? I know I'm so privileged I could see Liverpool once in Anfield, and I coughed up so much for it I know my friends back home could never afford in a lifetime. But I know if any of them could, like we did in 1999, we'd borrow through our nose to watch our team play in 1 final, win or lose. Because we never won it in our lifetimes. Because the atmosphere sears itself into our memory. BEcause, you know, sometimes life was life and football was some kind of magic. Klopp knows it. Poch finally felt it. They all understand, I'm sure you all do too. Because we just love football =)

I agree with you. Sometimes it feels so not worth it And I'm watching Madrid with some kids in a quiet polite home...

...but that roar. That trembling of the ground beneath you when the 12th man is behind you. F*ck me.

I disagree with what you said cause I'm sure not the price per ticket was actually that £3000 as you said. Is the transport fares or plane ticket fee included?
Are you trying to book the ticket through an agent which will definitely include their own fee plus VAT charges?

£3000 excluding the hotel and plane fare? Honestly, the price per ticket is too much to spend in watching the UEFA final game in Madrid and if I have such fund I will rather invest it in bitcoin till next bullish market which will yield me an awesome profit than watching a 90 minutes game.

I heard very good things about Accra, like it is one of the most secure and friendly cities in Africa.

I'm from Africa, and I have been to Ghana once, Early last year. I can vouch for their hospitality and security.


They are indeed very welcoming, I spent a few days in Accra, It was a very beautiful city and I also visited a town called Tamale too, they have quite a number of ancient history too, I remember there was a mosque there which was said to be an ancient one, I can't remember how old but It was very old.

That's probably what most of us would do in this case even though I would love to go and watch a Champions League final in the stadium. Anyway, I'm good with watching the match on TV along with my friends rather than saving money for a few weeks/months just to go on a stadium and watch a soccer match. I'm not that type of person.

Very nicely put. Not just the quoted part but the whole post. I just quoted this small part because if you haven't felt that kind of thing at least once in a life you don't know what you are missing. You can't really compare it with anything else. I agree the prices for Madrid final are way too much for us "normal" people but there are other great games across Europe for which you can find tickets much cheaper and you will get a good part of the atmosphere.

I watched few games in Turkey and Greece for beer money and had great time. Their fans/atmosphere are great and tickets are much cheaper. Granted you have to be a bit careful not to end on a wrong part of stands in the local derby but I personally never had any problems. Maybe it helps that I am close to 1.90 and over 100 kg so people sort of avoid me when shoving starts.
