Malmo away

Anyone heading over to Sweden for the second leg? What do you reckon the ticket allocation will be and the chances of getting a ticket - I'm a season ticket holder.

 

Moved to Supporters Info section.

 

Allocation will be quite small as their seating capacity is about 14,000 and away European allocations is done by the amount of times you have attended consecutive away ties. Always offered first to category A, then B and down the way until all gone.

That said many go over without tickets and get one over there. Often in the away end which obviously shouldn't happen but it certainly does.

 

21,000 capacity for CL games I think so 5% of that means we should get a minimum of just over 1,000.

Given previous numbers to away games I can't see us taking that amount away with us although if the two day trips go, and surely they both won't, then that changes everything.

They've done away with categories now for European games, now based on how many you've attended out of the 13 from last season and the previous one. Season ticket form told you your number.

If it turns out you haven't been to enough to get a ticket but you know someone has, just doctor travel arrangements with their name on it and take their ticket.

 

This is not correct I think. In European matches MFF puts seats in their standing section and the capacity is slightly inferior than in domestic matches. I remember the match against Zalgiris has 12k people with the stadium half full.

Anyone knows how can one living in Sweden buy tickets for the away end?

 

Interesting, cheers.

 

Yeah it holds 21 000, which means 1050 to us. In Helsingborg, Celtic sold about 500 tickets, and had to return quiet many. I think there were about 300 against elfsborg, also with many tickets not sold. I think there will be more tickets sold for this game.

 

Drumbar at lilla torg is a scottish pub which has offered to host us. They will play Celtic tunes and have promotions on pints, they can probably hold 500 if they open up the garden should their application for a special license be approved by authorities.

is sweden expensive like 8 9 euros a pint.?

 

No sure you are going to get Celtic fans flocking to a Scottish pub mate!

Only difference between this game and Helsingborgs is the timescale - away there was the first game whereas this is away second here. Honestly can't even remember if we took a charter to that game, I am fairly sure we didn't. Can't ever recall taking more than 1,000 to a qualifier in recent times, Ajax away probably the last. Usually anything between 100-500ish.

 

haha, I think it will be the best bet for an "official" pub though. The barman is a celtic fan, seems nice, and who is lobbying pretty hard to get Celtic fans to his pub. Is it one thing we are not spoiled with in Sweden, it would be kind bar owners who are actively looking to host you. In Borås when we asked around, they simply said "eh, noo", luckily there was a nice barman there too.
Many local malmö celtic fans are going there and also CSC Sweden. Are you coming?

Malmö is also closer to Copenhagen (takes 20 min from the copenhagen airport and about 40 min from Copenhagen, so it will be more convenient.
On the other hand, there was a buzz around Helsingborg with the Henrik Larsson connection, and CL football on the horizon again.

 

expect something like £6 a pint.

 

Well it depends on where you go. On tourist pubs, Irish pubs, it would be those prices yes, but you can also find cheaper places, 3-5 euros a beer, if you know where to go. You don't get served in pint size though (only in Irish and Scottish pubs), but rather in 0,4 or 0,5.

 

where you can get a beer for 30kr in malmö?

 

Well if you are a student you find the way to those places. Do not remember any names though. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Celtic day trip - £359 and whatever ticket price is

Malmo day trip - £258 (no sure if ticket is extra or not)

:smiley-laughing002:

 

please remember those i am getting broke from going out here and that's because i go to the hippiesh ones in möllevången, i don't even come near from those in lilla torg.

 

Celtic always rip the * right out it with their prices. It should never be any more than £250 for the flight and bus/transport to game and back, especially a close to home game like Malmo.

I think £359 is more or similar than it cost me for flight and 3/4 days in a hotel in Amsterdam, Zagreb, Hamburg or Milan.

 

There is a bunch of Celtic fans who gather in a place called Sir Tobys to watch the matches. I only came to the match against the scum because i am often busy. I consider that place a * kip, grumpiest barmen i have seen and I should be used to this now i live in sweden. There ate two great but expensive irish pubs in Malmö too, one if them sponsors the local GAA team

 

Think I've just done 4 or 5 European aways out of the 13 from the 12/13 and 13/14 seasons, do you reckon that'll be enough for me to be able to get a ticket for Malmo away?
