I would hope Wakefield would make tickets available as soon as is possible for travelling supporters to purchase.

I too have booked flights and accomodation and i would be well fecked off if i couldnt get in.

surely the club should chase this. i too have flights and accomodation booked and last year the club didn't have tickets and the previous year no junior tickets (had to exchange at the gate). i wouldn't be very happy if we went all that way and couldn't get in !

Agree

hopefully someone from the club will pick up on this and maybe comment,to put peoples minds at rest that have already shelled out to go over to France.

I know club officials read these boards but it wouldn’t hurt to for those directly affected to give them an email making them aware of the situation.

Have done

Are you going?

No mate, will do one day though.

Emailed the club on Tuesday and not even had the courtesy of a reply!

How shoddy is that!!

In fairness to the club they may be waiting to verify whatever information they may receive from France,whenever that information is relayed.
Patience is a virtue and all will be well that ends well.

Which is a fair comment.

But how long would it take to just send an acknolwedgement?

Tickets for the game can be obtained from Catalan Sports Tours (Foti - link on this site). I e-mailed David Foti and he told me that the tickets are with other away fans and are priced at 15 Euros (no cover) which I think is the end of the Tribune Guasch or 25 Euros in the coverd Tribune Bonzoms (Main Stand).

We usually sit at the back of the goal but as its planned to cover this end it may be closed for our game. I think I'll get my tickets from David Foti and sit in the main stand. I'm sure the club will get some tickets but with Foti I'm pretty sure your tickets will be guaranteed.

Decided to stay this time in Canet for a change. Anyone else staying or stayed there before? Any information on bars, taxi costs from Perignan would be appreciated.

bars plenty and all good
taxi costs was about 25-30 euros each journey 2 years ago
dont get the maniac one who drove us though at about 120 mph!!, well we did tell him we were late!
get the female taxi driver with the lovely english accent and the soft brown eyes and tanned legs we got on last morning, but be prepared to not be able to tell her anything due to dribbling!

I prefer Perpignan to Canet. Also I always hire a car over there. Your two trips to the airport and the match trip will cost you more in taxi fares than a full weeks car hire.

Fair point but I like to get away from the car for a few days and have a drink or three.

There's a reasonable bus service from Canet to Perpignan too. Can't remember how much it cost, but it's a lot cheaper than a taxi, obviously, and will at least cover you for the journey to the game. Takes about half an hour, IIRC.

Thanks for this. Just been down and got my tickets for the Gradin Sud at £15.

The Club have been sent 100 tickets for the Tribune Bonzoms (Covered Main Stand) at £22 and 100 tickets for the Gradin Sud (Temporary Stand) at £15. I think the stand at the back of the goal where we usually sit is closed as its having a roof put over it.

The Club has asked if there are any further tickets should they sell the 200 they have been sent but have not as yet received a reply. If you have booked flights and accommodation it may be wise to get to Belle Vue or phone the ticket office (01924-211611) and get a ticket now to avoid not being able to get in and see the game.

Don't know your numbers, but there are 6 of us. Staying in Canet for the 3rd time. Bus to Perpignan was 1.10 euro last year. Then walk to the ground, (if you really like walking) or get another bus, also 1.10. I think, given the time of year, you can also get a bus back, not positive, but will find out from one of our contacts there. It was evening kick off last year, and September, but I think until mid-August, buses run quite late.
The bus from the airport last year would have meant a 2-3 hour wait. Taxi to/from airport was around 35-40 euro for a six seater, (Canet based taxi). Back from the match it was 45 euro, maybe because it was later.
We are staying at The Hotel Regina, again. Very helpful staff, yards from the beach.

Thanks for this Pilchard.

There are 3 of us and we are flying into Carcassonne and out of Perpignan. We will get the bus from the airport into Carcassonne then the train from Carcassonne to Perpignan then the bus from the Station into Canet Plage. A bit like "Trains, Planes & Automobiles" - hope we have more luck than Steve Martin & John Candy.

On match day we will get the bus into Perpignan then probably use Foti for the bus up to the Gilbert Brutus and back into Perpignan. We should only require 2 taxis, 1 on the Saturday from Perpignan to Canet if the last bus has gone and then 1 in Monday to Perpignan Airport so between the 3 of us should not be too expensive.

We are staying at the Mar-i-Cel which is right on the beach.

Once again thanks.

brilliant..2 adults who we can get tickets for and 2 kids with season tickets..if it's a sell out how do we get the kids in ???

The tickets appear to be allocated seating so even if you can exchange the kids vouchers for tickets they will not be with your tickets.

I know this is not the answer you want but If I was you I would buy 4 £15 tickets. At least you know you will get in and be sat together. I know the trip is expensive enough without having to pay full price for the the kids but it looks like there is little alternative.

Good news - well done Wakefield

Been today to get mine. Got it in the posh seats along the side, sat with the Frenchies. Just need to learn a few choice phrases in French before I go. The lady in the shop was saying that they have requested some concessionary seats but the difficulties are at the Catalan end, not Wakefield. There was someone else in the shop this morning buying a ticket for Catalan this morning too.

Although there was still a fistful left, I would still try and get them sooner rather than later.

(Also bought a shirt, and it is a shame that we have the best strip for ages but the worst quality shirt. An absolute rag with a collar that is built for a waistline, not a neck, and mine was in XL. I knew that when I bought it though, so not really complaining, as such).

So you've gone for the Tribune Bonzoms. We've gone for the cheap seats.

The tickets only arrived yesterday and at the moment we have only 200. Every year I have been there has been well over 200 Wakefield fans so book early to avoid disappointment.

I fancied being sat amongst the Frenchies. If we sell our £22 seats, there will be a few Wakey fans under that roof, and combined with the passionate French, it should be a fun £80 minutes (as opposed to 80 mins on French scaffolding!).

What's French for gerremonside?

Going for the same seats --- so i should be able to identify you quite easily.

I will listen for the guy shouting "gerremonside" in French with a Yorkshire twang!!
