Yeah I think we're gonna get I and J.

Bill's been on the phone giving it S'il vous plait and ooh la la.

He's a top man is Bill...

PS it's defo not the 5% - that's 2,500 and there are about 50 seats per row in the side-on sections (not the corners), so J,K,L etc


I'm pretty sure Block H, only the top tier, is 60 rows deep, and it looks like 30 seats across. So just H on it's own is 2,400 on the top tier.
Even if it's 20 seats across that's 1,200 seats, again only the top tier.

So no way they'd need the whole of I, J, K, L to make up 2,500. Both tiers of I should be at least 1,500.

Maybe I both tiers + J top tier = 2,500. K and L will be a bonus allocation.



Geek rant over. And it could be completely wrong I guess!

That's be crazy! Hugely keen if there's any chance of getting on board this scheme!

The whole of the upper behind the goal was blanked out so Lille must be considering it, unless thats what the 5% allocation is.

Is there a link where you can see that or does it involve signing up? At the moment, sounds like H is on sale to home fans, but the away section and top tier behind the goal is unavailable for home fans to purchase. Is that correct?

Yeah, on the ticket selection thing that was all 'greyed' out, so either theyve been sold or theyre being held back, with an increased allocation they may need to leave segregation as well ?

When I get on the site there is a notice 'you cannot buy in your region'. Can't get past first base. Is there anyway I can bypass this?

Go to the Europa League thread, page 168, post 3. Chris has done a really good step by step guide to dodging the IP blocker on foreign internet connections.

If that doesn't help. just read the pages of that which were posted yesterday on there, hopefully some will help you.

Good luck mate!

Is somebody able to take a screenshot of the stadium view so I can see where's they've blanked out? Sorry to be a pain I'm not at a computer until the weekend

Booked Lille hotel Hotel Nord , in centre.
Then Friday night in Brussels bring it on.

Any others in Brussels on Friday

It's strange that the tickets aren't on sale for their home game Vs Kranodar which is in 2 weeks time, you can only buy the 3 match package. Do you think they won't be selling them individually?

 

[cjmgoodison]

Booked on the idbus, leaving London on Wednesday night at 23:30 getting into Lille 06:10. Leaving Lille on Friday 14:40 getting back to London at 19:20 ... Happy days!

Exactly the same travel as me an my mate there! See you then!

Yes it is safe, it is near a big student university, if you walk, the distance between the stadium and the metro is just 5minutes, and the name of the station is "Cité Scientifique"
But our metro close at 00"00, when I was a student, living on the campus, I took the metro to go, and the taxi to come back.

The name of the station for the center city is "Rihour" or "Republique beau Art" or again "Garre Lille Flandre", and if you take your metro at "Cité Scientifique" you don't have to change the line.

Bienvenue

"Merci"

That had crossed my mind mate!

If I do have to drive myself I've been looking at parking. I've read in a few places that some of the metro stations have free park and ride. I've found this one that looks easy to get to off the A25 and close to the stadium:

http://www.transpole.fr/fr/Voiture/parc-relais-4cantons.aspx

It says it's free to anyone using public transport but do you have to show a ticket or something as proof? It says blocks B and C are for stadium visitors who've reserved their spaces in advance, any idea how to do that? Is it still free?

Yes you need a ticket to park your car for free.
Tickets for blocks B and C car park are available on the same website as game tickets.
I believe that the free car parks around stadium are closed, so you must pay....or go further for a free car park and take a bus/metro
