    Guys

    Chelsea plays Galatasaray in March 19th in London and I couldn't find tickets from Galatasaray side.

    Galatasaray sold all tickets to a travel agency and that agency sold all tickets to the folks who got the game package from them.

    That being said, I will have to watch the game at Chelsea side.

    There are a few web sites on the net that sell tickets. Not sure how reliable they are. Another alternative is to buy the tickets from scalpers.

    Is there a site you can suggest or shall I wait for game day and try to get tickets from scalpers?

    I already booked my flight and hotel. I really don't want to watch the game at a pub.

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Personally I wouldn't sit in the Chelsea end as an away supporter for 2 reasons.
    1 - Most Chelsea fans are assholes (Headhunters/combat18)
    2 - As soon as the stewards find out you're in the wrong end, you're out, no refund and you may face a fine.

    Find one of the many Turkish areas and go to the pub there. failing that go to any kebab shop and they'll have the TV on :p

    Can't really add anything constructive to Gus's post, but would echo his sentiments. Good luck, though. There are a fair few ex-pat Gala fans in the UK particularly London, see if you can find a way of contacting them might be the best.

    Thanks gus.

    I know Chelsea fans pretty well from our clash back in 2000. I am also experienced in being beaten by home fans in European away games. Last game was in Brussels back in 2003. That said, I will take my chances and sit in the Chelsea side. If they find out and kick me out so be it. Of course I will still push to find a ticket on Galatasaray side at a reasonable price.

    Thanks to you as well. I lived in London for 6 months and I know the Turkish community in Haringey. I lived in Edgware myself. But I for one know as a fact that Galatasaray tickets aren't sold in London. All tickets are sent to Istanbul and Galatasaray sells tickets to the travel agencies who sells tours to fans in Istanbul.

    I hope I can make it into the stadium and watch the game. Drogba is returning back to home and it will be sweet to watch his interaction with Chelsea fans.

    Thanks Cardinal Ximenez of the Mods.

    Not a good day to be a Galatasaray fan. :(

    Unfortunately a Chelsea fan has been stabbed in Istanbul according to below link

    Earlier this year, Galatasaray fans killed a Fenerbahce fan after a loss. This thing is ugly. Not sure what the reaction will be for me and other Gala fans in London. God help us.

    I know right. But can't. I am flying to London, staying right by the stadium. I have to watch the game.

    We dominated Chelsea in the second half. I feel like we will advance and I have to be there when Drogba meets with Chelsea fans. If I am lucky, I can scalp a ticket from Turkish side. Worst case, I will enter the Chelsea side without any Galatasaray stuff on me. I think I can pass as an American.

    Cardinal Ximenez of the Mods can vouch for that. :)

    Found my ticket for Tuesday's game. I will be watching it at West Stand Harris Suite. Business or Business Casual is the dress code is what I was told. Pretty weird but it is what it is. I will be able to watch the game.
