[Archived] Blackburn Rovers 0 Bayer Leverkusen 0

[Presty On Tour]

the key is the first goal.

if we score first then we will be winning on away goals and they will have to come at us and we will pick them off 1 by 1.

[Paul]

could somebody be kind enough to tell me whether i can buy tickets beforehand at the ticket office?

and does it matter if i do that if i am a student and still intend to get my ticket for 5pounds?

cheers guys

The official site simply says £5 on production of a valid NUS card. I'm sure you'll get in, just don't trun up at 5.55pm expecting to be inside for KO.

[Mike Graham]

according to TO the sales for this game are "going very well" and "should be a good gate if the ST holders turn up".

I have a spare ST (JW Upper) for this game. PM me before end of today if anyone wants to use it; i'm in London Weds and Thurs before getting the train home thurs afternoon for the game.

[Ricky]

I take it tickets are available on the day. I need to sort out with work if I can definitely get the time off after having a week in Cologne last week.

Fingers crossed I'll be there.

[Lee]

Yes tickets are on sale right up until kick-off.

Please get down early, the queues in the run up to 6pm will be long. Oh and fans won't get wet queuing up

[Paul]

Does that mean you've taken up weather forecasting....................or the queue is going to be in the concourse

[OJRovers]

being a bit lazy but...

1) Is it just a case of bring your season ticket and the electronic thing will work?

2) What was the Lens score in their 1st leg?

nice one.

[No Nay Never]

I think it should be a cracking game. Bayer will feel they will need a goal somewhere along the line, as it wouldn't be safe to sit back for 90mins especially on there defensive showing in the Bay Arena. Hughesy should be drumming it into the lads to throw the kitchen sink at em and try and nick an early goal to settle the nerves. Confident we can do it though.

Rovers 2 (McCarthy, Bentley)

2) What was the Lens score in their 1st leg?

1)Yes the ST will automatically get you in as per normal league game (according to Rovers WWW)

2)3-1 to Lens

nice one.

Indeed.

14.00 Just got back from the ticket office. Woman behind the counter said tickets are selling fast. I couldn't get extra tickets anywhere near where I sit and getting 2 or more together was impossible. Providing season ticket holders turn up, it's going to be a good crowd.

PLUS, not sure if it's been mentioned, but they're building a nice permanent, retractable cover (like old Wembley tunnel exit) to keep people queuing for tickets dry at the ticket office.

[Ozz]

Just bought three for the girls at work, and they could only offer me the last bit of the Jack Walker upper next to the Darwen End.

[SuperStella]

Brazil defender Juan could play, having returned to training after a muscle injury.

[stuwilky]

WOW

Just spoken to the ticket office, can't do two tickets togethe in the BBE Lower, or the JW lower, or at the front of the JW Upper. Only 2 togethers with restricted views in the Riverside.

Darwen End Lower being opened for Rovers fans as unreserved seating - so anyone who needs one on the day may want to bear this in mind.

blackburn end lower now SOLD OUT

couldnt get one there, so didnt bother

[Ozz]

I guess that was you in front of me in the queue SAS, where you park your scooter?

[Ricky]

I'm in the BBE lower. It is just little old me on my lonesome so probably managed to get one of the last single seets. Bought online a couple of hours ago.

Row 6 seat One Hundred and Twenty something.... can't remember off the top of my head.

So you'd rather not go, than sit somewhere else?

So you'd rather not go, than sit somewhere else?

Surely no-one could be such a saddo as to mean that! But this thread does seem to make a mockery of "you won't get anybody turning up at 6pm as it's so difficult"!! Which is good. And ties in with the poll.

[stuwilky]

I presume it was an extra, seeing as Scottius has a ST

[Blackpool_Rover]

Great! I e-mailed the ticket office a week ago and asked if there would be tickets for BBE on the night or i said id book over the phone. Because this would give me charges for my czech bank i left it...they said it would be ok on the night. now im gonna end up in jack walker lower outer or somethin! Either way im FINALLY making it to ewood for the first time since April!

COME ON ROVERS!

I wouldn't be surprised if the kick off time boosted attendances. Not only are the tickets cheap but those with kids don't have to keep them out until - potentially with extra time - well after ten o' clock. While unfortunately some Rovers will miss out it seems that many others will now be able to attend.
