I just had a look at the inter site to look at ticket prices, if spurs are allocated the top tier of the blue section then we are being ripped off big time on prices. For a league game they are priced at 23 euro
http://www.inter.it/en/biglietti/prezzi.html
23 EURO does not make £48 they are ripping off Spurs fans, and i thought there was rules in place not to charge away fans more than home fans for the same standard of seating.

Where we are being seated (the top tier of the blue section) is a absolute fucking joke. I have been watching CL football for years and have never seen a away team's fans seated up there before (the very top tier). Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Leeds, Liverpool or Celtic were never seated up there, so why are we. Not happy with that at all, infact I'm fuming:evil:
Personally I'd be more inclined to stop whinging and enjoy the fact that you'll be seeing our team at the San Siro when thousands of other Spurs fans won't.

I could be hanging by my nuts from the roof and I wouldn't care, I'm just delighted to be there (by the skin of my balls in fact, 421 points). Can't bloody wait.
As for the Thomas Cook issue, while I didn't opt (stupidly. I will in future), I don't criticise the club for doing it. We want to buy great players to stay at Europes top table? Then the club need to make lucrative sponsorship contracts to fund such things, and that involves the promotion of that product. Furthermore, the fans who took up the TC option will have done so by an earlier deadline than those who didn't, some might say that's a good, deserving show of loyalty.
Anyway fuck it. I'm gonna get my dad and I some binoculars and it's off to the Guisseppe Meazza we go!

The fans have every right to have a say, this is a forum aint it, seeing that we are paying £48 for a ticket to sit up in the clouds behind a goal. That is a piss take and yet again another rip off for English fans travelling abroad....
p.s. I have far in excess of the loyalty points cut off point (410) hence aint taking the ticket of anyone who DOES deserve one. Fact is due to the high profile of the game every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to go to it (10k apps from what I hear) but I bet you we wont have them many apps for both Twente+Bremen away joint together. First shout, imho, should go to the fans who have supported the club away on a regular basis both in England and abroad....

I can't get a ticket based on points....so me and pals are going solo.....we will just avoid the ultra stand and buy a ticket off a tout...my mate speaks iti.lian...so he will teach us the italian to 'fuck off i'm here to watch the game'...if we are winning.
OR.....'fuck off you italian mother ****** ****'...if we are losing.

Booked my tickets with Tickazilla thismorning. In the space of 10 mins the price went up from £79 to £84. All the £59 tickets were already sold out. Gonna be sitting in the neutral zone I think but this was the message on the site.
"Seats are located with home supporters of Inter Milan or neutral supporters on the long side sections in any of the areas of the 2nd Ring (lower & upper) on either the west or east stands. These seats are highlighted respectively in 'red' and 'light orange' on our stadium seating guide".
Apparently we are seated in the second tier in the middle of the pitch which do'nt sound too bad.... need to check when I get home as the Mrs booked em.

Does anyone know more about this "neutral zone"? Can you buy tickets on the day there?

Because Tottenham have to guarantee to provide Thomas Cook with an agreed number of tickets for them to organise the official trips.
I realised that my 290 loyalty points would not guarantee me getting a ticket, so I ordered from both the Ticket Office and Thomas Cook*. As expected, I missed out on the ticket allocation but did get onto the Thomas Cook trip.
Do I feel guilty about denying somebody with a higher number of loyalty points? Hell no - in recent years I have followed Spurs to Istanbul, Tel Aviv (when only 175 tickets were sold), Brussels, Prague and Bremen. I feel annoyed that all the loyalty points (many 100s) I collected before I became a season ticket holder were lost and I had to start again from scratch.
*Just in case of confusion; if you book both a Thomas Cook trip and a ticket on-line, you do not end up with two tickets. The Ticket Office do cross-check the applications to ensure you do not get more than one ticket.

Has anyone used ticketzilla before? Are they trust worthy? Can't find any reviews for them online! Looked at worldticketshop as well but reviews for them are mixed but I would say mainly negative.
Other one I'm looking at is viagoo lots of tickets on there & feel bitpre confident using them only issue is if the tickets will turn up in time as I'm going on the tuesday to Milan.

Have'nt used them before but the mrs said she found some reviews and it seemed ok??
She has spoken to them aswell on the phone and did'nt pick up any bad vibes so fingers crossed! If we get ripped off then It'll defo be a learning curve! I'd still rather have a 50% chance of getting in the San Siro (as our flights are booked already so gotta go whatever happens now!) rather than none.
Did have access to some season tickets but that 410 loyalty point cut off screwed that plan up!

You're absolutely right and I couldn't agree more with you. However, I do have gripes about 'so-called' supporters moaning about where they'll be sitting and how much they're paying for a ticket. And that's for a number of reasons:
1. Rarely do away fans get the best seats in the stadium
2. The more high profile the game, the more expensive tickets are - that's just basic supply and demand economics and all EPL clubs do that for Prem games
3. First shout IS going to the fans who have supported the club as often as possible - that's what the loyalty points count for.
