Swinton Red - Inter Milan

Went to the game on Sunday, top game, incredible atmosphere. Went down to the San Siro Saturday for some tickets but the ticket offices were closed so got a few off the touts for 60 euro's each. We were told tickets were still available on day of the game but we didn't want to risk only the expensive tickets being available, on the day of the game all tickets were available as they had only sold two thirds of the ground! Been a few times now to that stadium but we picked a good game, Figos last, they got the trophy, and some excellent goals. If i have the chance i'll send you some pictures of the huge flags before kick off, and the flags protesting about juve not being stripped of their 28th and 29th title.

 

I'm sooooooo jealous

I was thinking about yer when i saw scoreline, jammy bleeder. You got to see Scudetto presented, Figo's guard of honour and a screamer from Ibra.

Glad you enjoyed it, me and my mate are planning one for Sept, going for a lesser game this time after being shut out of derby and Juve game

They only sell at the ground from 2.5 hours before kick off on day of game, however if you get to Milan before weekend you can buy from Feltrinelli and Banco Popolare Di Milano.

I'm fascinated to hear you bought tickets off touts and had no trouble getting in!!! I was always led to believe that you needed to have the correct name printed on the ticket (if you had bought on day thats what they do) in case you get id'd at gate. Having said that they wanted 120 euro for Milan derby, wish we'd paid it now

I think 60 euro is still a good deal considering what you saw and rip off prices in England.

Weather was more than kind to you i noticed, 31-32c???

Yeah would appreciate the pics

 

p.s attendance was 69'000 nt

 

Never 69k all italian attendances are dodgy

both top tiers behind the goal not even half full and no-one in two corners, it holds 85k. I watched Lazio last year and they gave it out as 10,000!

 

tickets did have names printed on.

Mine had Dario Carnelli, to our surprise they checked everyones ticket and wanted i.d, we've been all over watching England for the last ten years and authorities have said they would do that kind of thing but nothings ever come of it even av world cups so we were surprised to get asked. But all they said do was go to the ticket office with some i.d and they will change the name. They did it in seconds with my credit card.

I'm a A.C fan though! We just picked the wrong wkend to go but dropped lucky cause they had won the league. Came away with the lovely Maldini gear they were flogging under the Inter stuff! Ha ha.
