Hello friends, i live in USA and I'll be in madrid next month. I'm going to see the game Atletico vs Valencia, but i have some questions, hopefuly someone can help me. As u might already know I'm valencianista 100% and i'll be rooting for them so which seats should I get, and please serious answers, in order to enjoy the game in peace. I'm not a hooligan when in comes to cheering for my team but I'll be celebrating every chance they get to score, every yellow card, etc, etc. I won't wear my valencia jersey just to keep it safe in the streets. I was thinking in buy tickets in the "lateral section" or fondo Sur. Thanks for your help.
I'm in the Calderon on Sunday when Atlético plays Athletic, so we're in a similar situation.
If I'm not mistaken the criminals of Frente Atlético are in Fondo Sur (grada) so I wouldn't go there if I was you.
Away fans are in Fondo Norte I believe, in the corner closest to the main stand.
Anyway I'll report back on my experiences after the weekend .
Well for you it might be a bit tougher than for the Valenciano. In your case I wouldn't wear anything related to Athletic or at least not very offensively.
It is the same the other way round. A pity, of course, but still reality.
yeah, that's what i wear every time i'm in spain and it's great success every time! girls are throwing themselves at me, guys are clapping and cheering, dogs are barking happily. good times roud:
That's not easy for foreigners, especially you should certainly know that.
You're in a peña so you don't have to cope with these problems, but what do you suggest me? First fly to Bilbao, get my ticket and move on to Madrid or what???
Of course it's possible to arrange something, but for me it's ok too to sit on a good place, lateral for example, so i've got a good view on the pitch as well on the fanatic home fans and away stand.
Go and find someone from Athletic to buy a ticket from him
Go and buy a ticket in Madrid
Go and tell me where you wanna sit and I will make sure that you will get your tickets in the museum at matchday with your name on it!
I mean this is just a question of organisation.
Maybe the the most safety idea is to ask for press tickets!
Don't really care about the safety, as long as I behave there's nothing to fear for.
Also why would they give me a press ticket? Ok I've got a crappy camera but that's all .
If I buy a ticket in Madrid it should easily be possible to get a lateral ticket I guess? If not for sure it won't be sold out...
Do you know if it's possible to buy one on Friday afternoon already?
No, there is no law that they have to sell tickets. Sold out means sold out!
I don't wanna buy tickets with the valencia crowd because i've seen their location on TV and they always in the high stands and I'm gonna seat in the laterals so i can watch the game better.
Thanks for all your time husky. I think i'm gonna buy tickets in lateral and just watch the game as a neutral fan. either way is gonna be a great game and i just wanna be there.
Thanks for your report. I watched the game on TV congrats for the victory, great goals of Toquero. How's the security outside and inside the stadium? the sub benches are on the side of the main stand (tribuna), right? I'm gonna buy my tickets once i'm in madrid, or at least when they confirm the matchday. I was thinking in buying tickets for the first tier but since u r telling me that the view is good i might go for the 2nd, but always stayin in the lateral section. Thanks again for helping me out.
There shouldn't be any problems security wise. We're talking about Spain, not England or Italy.
I went to Alicante to see Hércules v Valencia. That's a very heated derby. There were no problems at all. Just lots of chants of "Puta Valencia! Puta Valencia!"
We won 2-1, so who's the puta now? (as some drunk ass Czech dude said after the match ).
Thank you guys, funny story loco, i can't wait to be there for the first time ever. I'm also going to the game against schalke, so it's a dream come true and I just wanna make sure I get tickets in the right place.
