Looks like they're using league category B pricing

"Initial indications are that 2,126 tickets will be made available to away fans, but discussions about a possible increase are ongoing.

During discussions, it has been made clear that procedures will be in place to prevent Wolves supporters purchasing tickets in home areas, and that any supporters who may obtain tickets in home areas will be refused entry to the stadium or ejected."

Hopefully there is an increasing, I’m wanting to try and get 3 tickets but no idea how likely that really is.

I'll be keeping quiet then and speaking Spanish on the way in. I speak Andaluz and the rest of spain struggle with that dialect

Apparently if you go the Espanyol website and try and look at home tickets from a uk web address, you are automatically blocked.

This is true, had a look yesterday. You can seemingly access any other part of the site but the ticket page is geo-blocked (assuming that's in the ballpark of the correct term)

There are ways around that, obviously..

Sounds like they are not going to be anywhere near as open as Braga though. Somewhat understandable since there are much higher stakes for this one.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Has anyone got a ticket to the away leg?
Español want €90.

Just wondered where the away section is so I can go near it

 

[The Weasel]

Away section is 229/230/231 I believe, up in the corner

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Thanks...
It's 90€ in the home end

 

[The Weasel]

Thanks...
It's 90€ in the home end

Which is where I imagine I'll be...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't think we're getting in the home ends this time. They've been pretty explicit about it.

 

[The Weasel]

I think we'll be able to get tourist tickets via the hotels, just not using a UK address...

How would you go about this?

 

[The Weasel]

I'll just email my hotel with a request in advance. It's a half empty stadium, they'll have tourists going every game, they are just discouraging us from "doing a Braga". As long as you don't wear colours, get hammered pre-match and sing Wolves songs in the home end you'll be fine.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Espanyol won a couple of games of late now they have this new manager. Might not be quite as easy as we were expecting

 

[Carrotdude]

I don’t think anyone is expecting it to be easy, just that it’s very winnable

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The key is going to be winning the first leg at home well and killing the tie.

I'll have a few but will not be singing Wolves songs in the stadium.

I should be ok with my Residencia, and yo habla poco español.

I assume it was fans, but the article isn't clear so perhaps it was players. Also fighting outside the ground before the match.
