They are not selling to people who didn't register before 31/08 on their website. Had a quick look on the secondary market earlier and cheapest tickets are 135 quid each.

Where did you find that price?  The sites I looked at were about £169

Went to all the home European games last year but only one away (Ajax). Was hoping I might get one for Bruges but it was sold out well before my category. Gutted but not surprised.
Will be over there anyway because it's a fine city.

Don't blame you, should be a good one. It would be superb if Brendan Gleeson made the trip.

Preferred "The banshees of Inisherin" myself...but "In Bruges" wasn't bad.

I wonder how many will be in Brugge without tickets. Spoke to a fair few on Sunday who were going hoping to get one in the home end. Brugge is a lovely place so I'm going for a few days with my partner. I'm one of the lucky ones with a ticket though.

Looks like they've gone. I can only see 169 now too.

Anybody any inside info?

After both countries change clocks both back one hour 27/10, Brussels is still an hour ahead of London in October.

Bruges KO is listed as 1745 in both countries but presumably will be 1645 U.K.

will be a lot of people finishing early…

I think the 17.45 would be UK time and it'll be different for CET. All the early kick-offs so far have been 17.45 UK.

https://www.clubbrugge.be/en/competition/a-kern/all-matches
Their AC Milan away in October is listed 1745, their Villa home in Nov 1745, would be very weird if it's a mistake there.

There is a mistake one side of the channel.
It’s showing you *your* local time. :)

Re GA+ access to away tickets. A friend of a friend who is GA+ has got away tickets for Bruges with, as far as I'm aware, no prior European away record.

If correct, which I’m not doubting, then it is absolutely wrong, it should go on the same criteria for everyone, whether they are are GA, GA+, Corporate or members

Not sure what the difference between various categories is, my mate was in the Oak Room in the Trinity before Bayern on one of his tickets. I imagine they cost a few quid.

I’m half-tempted to go to the youth game in the afternoon, given the impossibility of getting a ticket to the match proper. Presumably that’ll be fairly easy to get a ticket for.

Youth game is at BMH so not sure what the access to those games are like for general public.

That suggests it went way down the tiers in GA+, those of us on 2 euro aways didn’t get the chance to even try, as it sold out 14.01 presumably some with 3 didn’t even get them.

Got to say that does start (start?!) to crunch the gears if paying extra to queue jump the ST also has this benefit. Again it questions the honouring of loyalty, of folk who have had ST for decades rather than our 5yrs, and folk that have done plenty more away and get excluded.

Hadn’t originally expected to get one, saw the ridiculous layers of criteria beyond where it would obviously sell out, and now understanding why they were there, they were written for GA+. Stinks.

Just for info, NXT (Bruges youth team) play 25 Km’s from Bruges,
