Just letting you know that train tickets in France have gone sale today covering January, just booked Eurostar and Paris to Nice for £160 return
-
Well done, that’s a good deal. If I had not booked flights I would have fancied that. And thanks for publishing the info.
-
Agreed, a few of us are looking at it. I will decide on the weekend.

We are doing the sleeper train Paris to Nice on the Monday night.
-
Those of you planning for this one and staying in Nice just be aware of trains out of Monaco after the match. Don't hang around too long.

The two to aim for are the 2135 or 2151 from Monaco.
-
I'm assuming they don;t normally hold the away fans back?
-
Tickets available to buy from today on the Monaco website from 22 euros.
-
There’s two selling sections on the Monaco website. Make sure you go on the second one. That offers tickets in POPULAIRES G, which is next to the Villa fans. Tickets available for download on 18th January
-
Superb thank you!
-
Monaco ticket details are out, 1000 tickets which is more than I thought.

I am surprised that criteria to buy is still based on Conference League rather than Champions League history.
-
£18.50 for a ticket to a Champions League game seems a lot. Don't think I paid that much for the final in Rotterdam.
-

I think they’ll change it for the knockout phase to this years CL games.

It probably still covers the same people who would be eligible through this year’s CL matches anyway
-
I'm in criteria 3 - 3 home + 2 away, but I find it strange why Criteria 1 and 3 specify attending THREE home games, whilst Criteria 2 only requires TWO home games?! Maybe people don't agree, but IMO a precursor to being allowed to attend Euro away games is that you turn up and support the team at all the home games first?
ps. I've not got a chance of picking up a ticket today. Pretty sure they'll be wiped out in the first wave. ☹️
-
They've survived the first 15 minutes which is a good sign. There's no way to see how many are left though. I think there's a very good chance they'll make window 2 and I wouldn't be surprised to see them make window 3.
-
All done and now looking forward to some Winter Sun in the French Riviera which today is precisely 13 degrees warmer than here.
-
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!
-
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….

I'd call the ticket office or DM AVFC Support on twitter to explain mate.

You'll just lose the booking history for this match, as long as you simply don't collect. FWIW the club now check eticket usage, certainly domestically. They checked to see who actually scanned in their ticket at Wycombe and those who didn't haven't been given the loyalty points for it.
-
Thanks for the advice
-
Monaco now sold out - Got to 2nd criteria group.
-
Due to the success of getting Monaco tickets this morning we now have two tickets for sale in the home ends. Please note they aren't sat together but are very close.
Looking for £60 for the two tickets which was face value. Please DM me if interested.

Turns out they weren't, and I've just snagged one in the 2pm group! ECSTATIC - Out of all the fixtures, this was the one I wanted to go to

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

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.

Just seen that, has there been trouble on other away days or is it just what Monaco do whoever they play?

Standard for their home games in Europe

My first ever time in the North Stand Upper was against Monaco in a friendly....from memory they Had Hoddle and Hateley in their side.....

Might see you for a pint. I’m in Nice from Sunday!
-
Looks like it's gonna be 16-17 degrees in Nice next week. Bring on the sunshine!
-
I've still got 2 spares in the home end going spare if anyone needs them.
-
Really messed up not booking flights until i knew i had a ticket - crazy prices at present even wth a 4 hour connection in Paris...any inventive ways of getting there?? nearly £500 return per person for me and my son....

Not how I’m doing it but going out you can get an early Monday morning Ryanair flight from Stansted to Marseille then train to Nice all for about £60 each at the moment if travelling light.
-
Thanks for the advice - made me look at some different routes, Gatwick to Marseille early Monday, back mid afternoon Wednesday, £115 return, happy with that, got about £70 worth of rail fares to add on, but for 2 of us works out much cheaper. Just that horrible drive to Gatwick....UTV
-
Just noticed that Monaco doesn’t fall under the EU mobile roaming charges agreement - same as in Bosnia for the game in Mostar. Something to bear in mind.

Thanks, that's useful to know.

I’m with Vodafone and Monaco is included in my data roaming.

If you're with EE, Monaco is included under same terms as EU as it falls within Schengen area.... I think it's £2 something a day to use your standard domestic allowance on phone calls, texts, data abroad.
*Also received my ticket collection voucher today. Cannot wait to get over there and defrost!
-
I have a couple of spare tickets for the neutral section next to the away fans if anyone is interested?
-
Getting to Nice for 3 to get the tickets is not ideal at all. Only one of us will be there in time. How strict will they be on the nominated people picking up their tickets?
-
KLM 06:15 from Brum is delayed to 07:40 which totally misses the 09:35 connection to Nice at Shithole. So they have rebooked me with Lufthansa to Nice via Frankfurt and Zurich, arriving at 14:00. Going to be very tight making the 15:00 deadline for ticket pick up😢
-
Never, ever, rely on Schipol, particularly in the winter.
-
On the sleeper train from Paris, a quiet but rocky night awaits.
-
Hope everyone on the train from Nice to Marseille leaving at 7.25am yesterday ,made the 1.30pm flight back to Gatwick.
All off the train 1 hour into the journey then wait for complemntary bus for an hour to take you to toulon for another train journey to Marseille Airport. Cost me 170 euros in an uber from Toulon to the airport and got there just in time. Lots of villa on the train hope everyone made it back to the UK
-
I was due to be on train from Nice at 12, but that was cancelled, ended up on one 4 hours later meaning I missed my Eurostar connection, home now after an extended stop in Paris
