It's Denmark -Sweden in the playoff. :w00t:

Not exactly the best possible draw for both teams...

Since Liep only cares about Denmark, someone has to mention the other playoffs:

Ukraine-Slovenia

There's no Sheva anymore but Ukraine should be favorite.

Bosnia-Ireland

No Portugal to prevent Bosnia from qualifying but then no France to cheat with a handball.  :P

Norway-Hungary

Most boring playoff?

You don't remember the scandal? He scored a goal last EC and showed off that little commercial much to the dismay of UEFA who fined him heavily for it.

I read that a season ticket to see Arsenal now cost about 20 times one to see Bayern München, £2,016 vs £105; value for money?

German football is amazingly well priced.

I wonder what Spanish prices are like. I've been talking with some friends about a Madrid trip someday to see an Athletico game.

I read it in a Daily Wail article.  :blush:

Found at link here, not sure how kosher the research is:

Pretty expensive, but of course not British expensive.

Can anyone waltz up to a ticket window and buy a season ticket to the Munchkins for 105 Yuros, or is it one of those waiting list-your dad has to be a member-the books are closed right now membership deals?

For Bayern Munich, there's a contingent of 38,000 season tickets. Existing owners get preference.  After that I would presume there's a waiting list. I'm guessing being a member of the club also helps. Prices are between 140 (standing room behind the goals) and 750 Euros (grandstand).

Normally the bigger the club is the more difficult to get season tickets. AFAIK Real Madrid and Barcelona have crazy long waiting lists.

At those prices I would be surprised if they weren't.

Is it easy to scalp tickets in Spain--i.e. sell your ticket to a stranger at the gate?

I'm friends with a German guy who has a season ticket for some team back home (Dortmund I think? Not sure...it has a big terrace called the wall or something like that, though his most favoured team is Nuremberg....), despite the fact that he only ever gets to maybe 5 games a year max.
The ticket is cheap enough (150 euros or so iirc?) and has a long waiting list so he keeps renewing it despite not living there anymore.

The Dortmund "yellow wall" must be among the very best in any football stadium in the world. It's 25.000 places for standing visitors.
