Visiting a Velencia Game

[Allyc85]

I'm flying to Alicante in April and as it would turn out, Valencia are at home to Real Sociedad, so if possible it might be worth a watch.

Has anyone on here ever been to a game, or could they recommend any websites/forums with info about it? I will be travelling on my own, so don't want to bother with it if it's going to be a bit dodgy!

Cheers.

Edit: Can a mod correct my typo in the thread title!

Try the Valencia club website. If not, then Viagogo.

I once met the health and safety manager of Real Sociedad FC. I asked him how they avoided crushing when the home fans left the match and he said "Never put all your Basques in one exit".

Yep, last saw Valencia vs RMD - tickets purchased locally by a part-time ex-pat mate, but we have bought tickets from club website previously.

Beware though, the Mestalla is a st-hole of a stadium, it has had no investment since they started (then stopped, due to the economy going tits-up) building its replacement back in 2008 or so. It has no facilities to speak of, little in the way of refreshments available, and is falling apart at the seams. Lighting a spliff seemed to be the way most folk around us 'refreshed' during half time.

There are not usually a lot of away fans at Spanish games which can be a little strange but just get into the atmosphere and enjoy!!!

Went to the Valencia v Swans away match in 2013. Was amazing watching the game in the blazing sun, high up
In the Mestalla.
It is a crappy stadium, in that it's run down and worn out. However, it's was a fantastic trip away.
Bought my tickets from Swansea, so can't help with that. I do recommend taking in a game though if you can.

Booked my ticket the other day and very much looking forward to it. £26 for a seat low down near the half way line, with my hotel 2 minutes around the corner
