£43 return with a car? That's pretty good. I looked at car and thought 10 hrs or a one hour flight to Zurich. I chose the latter.

I was in Switzerland, Zurich to be precise, about five years ago and two hot dogs, a beer and a coke cost over 20 quid.
It's a bit dear.
And Klopp..
The Reds have received an allocation of just 10,236 tickets for the game with Sevilla, which will be played at St. Jakob-Park on May 18.
Speaking at a press conference in the aftermath of his side’s 2-0 win over Watford on Sunday, Klopp began with a message for fans.
He said: “A few minutes ago I heard today was my 49th game as Liverpool manager. Usually you need one and a half years [to reach that number]. That means I’ve had 5,637 press conferences!
“I’ve said a lot of things in these press conferences and most of them are easy to forget, but last time I spoke, when I spoke about Basel, I spoke like a supporter. I do it sometimes because first of all I am a supporter and I like this game, but I invited all Liverpool fans to Basel and that was not too smart to be honest.
“Basel is a nice city, but Basel is not ready for [all of] us and it was my mistake. I have to take back the invitation to Basel – please, only people with tickets go there because anything else would be chaos and we don’t want this. We have to concentrate on football.
“All the rest that I said was right – it’s nice, it’s great and it’s wonderful to be in the stadium, but if you cannot be there then stay at home or come to Liverpool, watch the game together with your friends and let’s have a party after this.
“It’s really, really, really necessary that you now listen. Most of the time you can ignore what I say, but now it is really important. We have to only send the team plus 10,000 and the rest all over the world can enjoy the game with best friends and family.”

Eurotunnel and drive down is my option. Taking the estate with sleeping bag etc in the back. Will be amusing.
A quid used to get you 2.5 francs a decade ago. Now it gets you less than 1.4 francs. They're not dear, so much as we decided to become dirt cheap to avoid paying the price for getting into ridiculous amounts of debt. Because we're cunts.
You can catch a high speed train from Gard Du Nordes direct to Basel Sean. That's pretty much my plan
Saw that, but like the idea of having the car to kip in over night. a bed for the night looks pretty unlikely!
Now that's a decent solution.
My mate in Madrid is going after Sevilla general sale tickets when they go on sale tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.
That's pretty decent. Nice drive too. If you love road trips. I do.
Yeah, me too. That's just straight through Luxembourg, but it's pretty fucking lovely down there.
Anyways, I have a pair of tickets with my mate... neither of them in our names so we don't really know which one is which, and we won a ticket in the ballet. I've told him he can have it because a) he's never been to a european final b) secretly I'm not that arsed so c) I'm first in line if it happens again.

I want to meet you - so you can rub my horns.
I'm coming from Geneva - will go back there after game.
Yah - best to play it by ear.
When we beat Dortmund I booked Dublin-Zurich for 40euro and a room at the Ibis Hotel Basel City Centre..Tuesday night only as everything on the Wednesday was booked out even then. 3 single beds for £108..pay on arrival and free cancellation(if we didn't make it).
So I'm all good for the Tuesday when I get over but Wednesday is up in the air. Few places I can stay...ie mates hotel room floor...but it depends which is handiest for getting train to Strasbourg the next morning for my flight home. One of the the hotels is in Mulhouse, another is in Lorrach.
So that ticket bis site has given me a ups tracking number, clearly telling me they'd be e tickets was bollocks!
I noticed that I gave them the post code of a house I moved out of last year, can't believe the most important delivery of the year and I fucked up the address, informed ups so hopefully won't be an issue

And the rest
Fly to Zurich from Heathrow on last flight in on Tues night. In a hotel there and then train to Basel the next day. Booked the hotel for two nights but I suspect the 2nd night will just be arriving back, showering and checking out. Fly home Thurs lunchtime. All in its cost me £300 cash and some air miles.
Not bad really.
If I can get back to Zurich or actually want to get to Zurich after the game then I have a room, but I suspect I will be just seeing out the night until the first train back in the morning. Flight isn't until 1pm odd so there's no urgency.
Liverpool Europa League final tickets: 400 unsold Sevilla seats will remain empty
There'll be empty seats at the Europa League final next week
At least 400 seats unsold by Sevilla will remain empty for the Europa League final againstLiverpool .
UEFA have revealed that the La Liga outfit have only taken up 7,000 of their 9,000 allocation for next Wednesday's showdown in Basel.
The governing body say that Liverpool have already received 1,600 of those leftover tickets – lifting the Reds' total from 9,000 to 10,600 for the game at St Jakob-Park.
However, UEFA insist the other 400 tickets can't be passed on to Liverpool due to the need to put segregation in place.
UEFA have been heavily criticised for selecting a stadium which has a capacity of just 35,000.
The rush for tickets is such that they have been changing hands online at Ticketbis.net for over £2,300.
UEFA's initial plan was that each club would get 9,000 tickets for the final.
A further 9,000 tickets were sold to supporters from across the world via UEFA.com. They were allocated via a ballot last month.
UEFA say the remaining 8,000 seats have gone to the “local organising committee, national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters, and to serve the corporate hospitality programme”.

I believe that a large chunk of those 9,000 tickets sold via UEFA.com have already be re-sold for inflated prices. Probably to our fans.
I won't be surprised if the same happenned with those 8,000 tickets allocated to "partners" etc.
A Friend of mine paid ~€900 per ticket he purchased from a local tout. The face value was 180 swiss francs.
So in short:
1. These games are a party for touts.
2. St. Jacob-park will be painted in red. That's LFC red not Sevilla's
