I'm in Seville this weekend. Never been before. Thinking of taking in the Betis match. Anyone been to a match there?
I tried but couldn't get a ticket 😢
No, although I know the ground is now complete and three tiers all the way round. Looks very impressive!
Ah! Yeah - that could be a problem! The game is against Granada - and they appear to both still have things at stake at either end of the table. Plus it's the Andalusian derby - if that's even a thing!Quote:

I haven't been to Betis but Seville. Bought a ticket on their website, chose the seat (avoiding the ultras section) and printed at home. It was a Europa League game against an east European team so was relatively sedate. The stadium was ringed by snack stalls before the match - apparently it's a big thing over there. It was all fine. Probably not that different at Betis.
Seville wasn't the easiest place to get around but looks like there's a local train station near the stadium. Nice town; I especially liked the Metropol Parasol but I like that kind of thing. Have a great trip!
Thank you for the info!. There seem to be quite a few tickets left if I understand the website correctly. Maybe they are more generally available now that - as James points out - the stadium is complete.Quote:

Went there a number of years ago for a long weekend. Very interesting City and the trip along the river is worth doing (… and would be interested in knowing if all the abandoned buildings from the Seville Expo 1992 are still there).
And if you’re a Star Wars fan, you definitely have to visit Plaza de Espana
Cheers. River trip sounds good. Just bought match tickets online too!Quote:

Phew! Sound like my idea of hell.Quote:

Try & conversion?Quote:

I still have a pin badge given to me by a Betis fan in a bar before the game.
Do go!

I saw Neath losing 6-1 on aggregate to Norwegian side Aalesund there. Trundle played that day and I got the Norwegian fans to do the ayatollah for him. He lost his cool in the second half and told them to f*ck off and gave a victory sign.Quote:

And Borussia is the Latin word for Prussia.Quote:

My cousin (originally from Abergavenny) has lived there for the past 30 years, his son is a Real Betis season ticket holder.
You should be able to buy tickets online. Cheapest about €60 I think.
Cheers for all the info. Yeah buying on line was not a problem. Not cheap though. More in line with the EPL prices than the German ones I’ve become used to recently.Quote:
