Any idea when they might let us know if the overnight trip applications were successful? I have been told by the club that I have 3 tickets, but I have to wait for Thomas Cook to let me know if I have a space on the plane or in the hotel. WTF. There has to be an easier way than this.

Had a confirmation email come through for the overnight trip so definitely going

So because the club or Thomas Cook left it so late. I have to fly to Faro, drive to Lisbon, stay overnight in a hotel 1.3 miles from the ground. Drive back to Faro, fly back to Gatwick on the Friday. The good news is all in, including parking and breakfast, it cost £235 per person £40 cheaper than the official overnight package. Perhaps I should be the official travel partner of Spurs. All that was done in less than an hour, after waiting over a week for the club to tell me they couldn't help us. What a joke.

They must be all waiting for the final. Personally I'm not as confident as everyone else so thought I better get to The Stadium of Light (the proper one!)

you probably wont receive the ticket until monday maybe but may be worth a call to the ticket office, if you're flying out monday or before could possibly go and collect it.

Anyone been charged for their ticket yet? Just called up the Ticket Office to see when the money would come out, and got a quite frankly rude response saying they can't say, like its some secret.

Well, the price of tickets is not always good, but I agree we should have more people in the stadium (especially people from Lisbon).
