I bought about 150 tickets when we played at Madrid. 8 at a time which was the maximum they would sell you so I had to change queue each time.
Sales were banned to English people but I had my French ID card. I couldn't speak Spanish but the Madrilenos thought that it was hilarious that I could "fool" the system like that - each time I got to the ticket window whoever was in the queue next to me would explain what I wanted and vociferously defend my right to buy as a Frenchman - "I can't sell to you you're English", "No he's not, look at his card, he's French" etc :) It was like kids at Christmas, watching a load of glum faced Leeds fans who'd been refused cheer up as they walked away with a ticket at face value. None of the bastards offered me a drink though :) Damian On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 12:37 PM, John Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > More reminders Damian :-) > > Spent a week in Madrid and met with Tim a couple of times - went to see > Madrid v Valencia, first game of season, I somehow managed to get 3 tickets > speaking perfect Spanish, whilst any other English person in the queue was > told no. > Da Rev > > > > ------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
