Anyone know what happens if you can't make this fixture, i have my ticket but my son still waiting for his holiday from work to be approved don't want him to lose his top allocation ...if he can't make it will he lose his full booking history if i let the villa know in adavnce? Understand we don;t get the cash back but wouldnt want to lose his booking history. Typical this is a collection one rather than eticket!
How do you know for sure that this is a collection?
It says so on the details that were issued by the club last week

Can’t wait, 12 of us going over and making a 4 day trip out of it. Up to Arsenal on the Saturday evening and then off to Nice on the following morning.

Villa in Monaco, who’d have thunk it? I’m going to pretend to be an international playboy to impress the locals….

Now is the time to use that cravat.

Chico will fit well in with his pastel pullover hung over his shoulders, white jeans and suede tan loafers - no socks obviously. At least that's how they all dressed when I saw them lose at Sporting's Alvalade in the Cup Winners Final back in 92. I think they must have brought about 200 supporters.

Here you can see them at the far end of the stadium. It must have been the worst attended European Final.

It did say both e-tickets and e-vouchers so I assume those in the posh seats will be getting e-tickets whilst those of us slumming it in GA accommodation will have to fucking queue up again.

Instruction on purchase confirmation email are similar to Leipzig match and for that we received print at home tickets. I think finding a venue to handout tickets in Monte Carlo is going to be a problem.

Those are standard instruction used for every match so far. Not all have been “collection at venue”.

I was living in France back then so remember this game as Monaco were favourites, in a team with Weah, Fofana and Petit IIRC. They were talented but flaky, and lost 2-0

I think the official attendance for the game was about 6-7000 as both teams allegedly had about 3000 fans. They were absolutely lost in that stadium (La Luz?) which I think held 90k.

There are lot of villa's in Monaco but they will see the real thing soon. I expect to see you displaying a fine handlebar 'tache.
