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 :)
