Braga (A)

[Sketchead]

Apologies if a thread specifically for this already exists, but couldn't see one. Seeing as the other two away games have their own thread, thought I'd start this one.

Thursday 28 November, kick off 5:55pm.

Sorted our flights and hotel within half an hour of the date being announced earlier. Flying into Porto from London, landing just after 9am on the Thursday, staying in Braga centre, flying back Friday evening. The exact same flights we booked are now approx. £180 more expensive... ridiculous.

Not got a season ticket so probably won't get a ticket, but will either home end it or just enjoy it with the fans in the centre who are doing the same thing as us. Their stadium holds approx 30,000, and they average roughly 12,000 according to Google, so as long as they aren't too strict on purchasing tickets online, I'll be in the stadium one way or another. We're guaranteed 5% so 1,500 in the away end, maybe more if they're generous.

Who's going to this one?

you'll be fine. we just about sold out torino but anyone who was desperate would have got one

i'd be surprised if there's a massive clamour for these - especially istanbul

 

[ChesterWolf]

Booked flights out on the Thursday, night in Braga, then a night in Porto on the Friday. £156 for flights and hotels.

Hopefully I will get a ticket as only a member! Apparently Liverpool got 2.9k tickets so reckon Iv got a chance, if not home end it is!

See ya there

 

[MDCCCLXXVII]

Booked to fly out on the Tuesday with the wife & babby (they're not going to the game though!) and back on the Saturday from Stansted for £200 (cheaper than flying back on the Friday). Staying in centre of Porto. Can't wait!

 

[tipton81]

Yes, booked flights from NY will be there day before, fly back out on the Sat evening, will make a few days if it in Porto

Surely we can home end it with it too much fuss?

 

[S G Wolves]

Flying out from Gatwick direct flight on Wednesday coming back Friday. Will sort out accommodation tomorrow..
See you all there...

We have 10 of us at the moment,some of the lads are still on hols and some ay finished work yet,so that amount will increase no doubt.Booked room in Braga for the Thursday night a triple room for £50.Got a few flight options but waiting until we know for sure how many of us are gewin.Probably increased 3 fold by now though.

 

[Bankswolf The Third]

Booked from stanstead with Ryanair the Thursday fly back Friday afternoon. I am not guaranteed a ticket but going for the atmosphere
Where is best to stay?

 

[Flynn]

Booked my flights. Flying Birmingham to Lisbon (via Barcelona) on the Wednesday, and from Lisbon (direct to Manchester) late afternoon on the Friday. Plan on getting the train up on matchday, and back the day after.

Pretty happy for £80 all in.

 

[Ashtead to the North Bank]

Flights booked to Porto, out Wed evening, back Sat, worry about tickets nearer the time

Plenty of cheap accomadation on booking.com from what I can see

£26 we paid for two people.

 

[Deleted member 7862Bler]

Braga is the one group game I’m going to do.

 

[306NOTOUT]

Not sure whether to stay in Porto or Braga

Aye we paid £28, mad really.

Sounds like a grand plan, any idea what the temps will be like?

Average is 16/17 degrees in November apparently. Will be much better than home at the end of November!

 

[wakeywolf]

Booked flights from Manchester to Porto on Thursday morning and back Saturday. Staying in Braga Thurs night and Porto Friday night

 

[jackdusty]

Not sure whether to stay in Porto or Braga

Nothing much in Braga,but there was only the midnight bus back to Porto airport when I went last year,so catch 22.

 

[Berkswolf]

Flying out Weds from Gatwick via Madrid. Back on Friday to Heathrow, again via Madrid with Iberian Airline. Cost was £100:83. Going to be very tight though. Land back at Heathrow at 5:15 and have a Steve Hackett concert in London that evening. Just hope I can get a ticket but think I will be ok as a season ticket holder.

 

[Deleted member 4453]

They are cracking prices, just hope I can get match ticket now.
I'm sure there will be a congregation somewhere if not though

 

[merseawolf]

Looking like £250 for flights from Stansted Ryanair
What’s the chances of a big allocation?

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

I’m confident those who want a ticket for this will get one. Anyone desperate to see us in Europe could have gone to Torino and it made it to general sale. Hopeful this will be similar for us season ticket holders.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Porto.

One of the best European cities I’ve been to. Visited in 2018, cracking place.

50 miles on a bus?

 

[Deleted member 3751]

Well provided I get the time off work I'll be at this one. Take the Missus and babby for a couple of days in Porto and the Thursday night is mine!

 

[Sketchead]

50 miles on a bus?

The shuttle to the airport from Braga centre only takes 50 mins. The train however takes much longer.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

The flight from Manchester was £172 return earlier. It’s now £337. Only option is to split it but don’t know if I can be ***** just to try and save a few quid. Robbing *******s!

 

[Chriswwfc]

When do the tickets go on sale?

I think this is the one I must go to!!! Arghhhhhhh!!!!

 

[Incognito]

Aye we paid £28, mad really.

Huh - how did you get it that cheap?

 

[Breamorewolf]

Huh - how did you get it that cheap?

I haven't the foggiest how some have got flights under £30! Cheapest I can get is £115!

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Update... just booked 3 of us from Manchester.

Via Brussels on Thursday morning, but still get to Porto before midday. Direct on way back. Just under £200 each so can’t complain really.

 

[Deleted member 4453]

Not sure if this a good way to Gage our allocation but it was Europa League aswell. 2900 initial, with a further 900 possible. 2 blocks both tiers is mentioned elsewhere on Google...

UPDATE: Revised ticket selling details for SC Braga v Liverpool FC on 10th March

Becomes a Very dangerous City, avoid the city center, bus station, university and Picoto, specialy, from the end of the day... Everything its closed, the roads deserts, no Police, and a lot of thiefs hided looking for you... No One see nothing, if you screem the locals close the Doors and Windows... In Portugal there are not justice, the thiefs do what they want thousands of Times, and nothing hapen to them... The Police doesn t go out of the Police station all day, and all night with fear, if the Police do something go to the jail... no Police in the roads... The politics are corrupts, and the president of Portugal "Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa" take selfies together with the murdereds, bandidos, thiefs ...

 

[Sketchead]

Huh - how did you get it that cheap?

Ibis in the centre of Braga, booked it within 10 mins of finding out the date of the game. £28 for a twin room for two of us.

 

[wolvesinwales]

I think the £28 and £26 prices mentioned were for rooms not flights.

What a load of tosh. It's a place full of uni students, it will be absolutely fine. Plus, any bars that are open will just be full of Wolves

 

[itsmee]

No idea, your probably right
