It depends what games you want to see. The popular ones will almost certainly be impossible to obtain tickets for from conventional means, so you'll have to rely on touts. You'll be able to get tickets for any game, it just depends how much you are prepared to pay.

Hey,
I am seriously considering going. My aunt and uncle live in lisbon so accomadation isnt a problem. Its just I will only be 15, my parents wont be there, I dont speak portugese and I dont know how to get around. I guess my uncle can help with that though..

I found this site but it doesnt say how much tickets are? does anyone have any info. And who exactly should i support? Ireland or England? 2 of my great grandparents come from Irealnd and the other 2 come from Engalnd?!?!? Anyway it would be great to meet up with any of you and what are the chances of me getting tickets if a place in a order on the 28th??? thanks for your help

anyone else going?

I'm going, can't wait for the tickets to become available.

[TheMutts]

anyone know how much tickets are going to be? How much were they for Euro98

[phishy]

they are going to be 35 euro at face value... i have been scrambling to get info on ticket prices and availability and thats wot ive found so far.. the travel bureau of portugal have been very helpful thus far.. great lot they've got~

I dont mean to be ignorant or naive but how much is 35 euros in US Dollars?

[phishy]

its like $34.00 US dollars... but, its very unconfirmed as to the exact dollar amount... i just pray they dont gouge us~

[TheMutts]

ya if that price is right or if it is anything affordable I should be there. It would be great and my first time in Europe and at a european soccer game.

I'd support England mate, I don't think the Irish are going to get there ;)

I'm going to try to get there for a week and just pick some games based on the cities I want to be in, rather than waiting to see which teams are where. Chances are I'll skip any games with Portugal since they'll be a tough ticket and their games have already been assigned. Besides them, I can't imagine getting first-round tickets in the online sales before the draw will be problematic. The real run on tickets will happen once teams are assigned to the games.

In another thread someone said to expect about $50 a seat.

Anyone have any advice on travel from the U.S.? Any feel for prices and when to try to buy? The airline industry is tough to read any more...

I'm debating whether it's best to fly into Madrid or Lisbon and then getting around by train once I'm there. Is it even reasonable to fly into London or Amsterdam and then do cheap air transfers within the continent? Any sites to check out as resources?

For hotels, I'm hoping to cash in points to cover a majority of the stay.

[phishy]

dude, i spoke with the portugal travel bureau and they were more than helpful... try a google search for it, i cant remember the web addy~ also, fly into madrid.. the capital of spain is just fantastic! thats wot im doing, hitting valencia before i make it to the matches in portugal... and, if you've never been to amsterdam before, i recommend that as well~~ heh
cheers

I think it was me that said they might be $50, but that was a guess at the most expensive they could be.I think that 35 Euros is a bargain considering most premiership games are about £25.
As for flights, how much is it to Lisbon from the states? The cheapest flight I have found so far is £120 (about $200) from London heathrow - lisbon. you could fly in and then go Luton- faro for about £50, but then you need a train from faro as they're only playing 3 games there.
If anyone finds any cheap flights to Lisbon or Porto from the uk please post them up.

I wouldn't be caught dead between those orange imbeciles.

[TVENTURA]

i'm going, my parents live in Coimbra. Besides the Coimbra stadium, Leiria, Lisbon and Porto are a very short drive way. i'm gonna try to see one semifinal in the Antas stadium in Porto and the final in Luz stadium in Lisbon.

[phishy]

totally confused by AFCA's post~

[TVENTURA]

You got that right!!!!!
