Lufthansa are doing a special promotion rate on Bristol to Tirana for around £250 return
From Heathrow: Alitalia have much better connection times than Aegean - both for under £150 return

Wonky Sheep events are so busy they have created a second trip for this one, I'm not a promoter for them but I did the trip to China and we had a cracking time, met some great people also. I know people will say you can book cheaper, but all I will say is we were together in China with 53 other Welsh supporters, all drinking, singing and having a good time rather then being isolated sometimes paying a few extra quid might make it a better trip...

Thanks for info - but really don’t fancy the early start up to Heathrow for a 6.00 flight or the 50 quid single supplement but cheers for reply |

What is estimated away allocation ? I should be back up to 5-6 aways by then so more chance of a ticket Hotel booked bus with Leigh booked just got flight to do looking about 250euro Allocation looks to be 500 :-( footballtripper.com/elbasan-arena-ruzhdi-bizhuta-albania/On the plus side though, their home attendances have not been great so hopefully will allocate us more tickets? |

Ffs that's walking a tight rope to get a ticket again But they struggle to get 10000 for games - only filled it for the opening of new stadium ...I’d be amazed if they took up 8000 looking at previous .... |

They only had about 1500 yesterday v Ukraine in a cracking friendly that ended 1-4 They actually had 5k at the Elbasan stadium for friendly v Norway in March ...
... So, just like in Moldova, its all down to the Bale Factor. I really enjoyed the big cheers from the Moldovans every time Bale was on the ball, and they actually gave their own players abuse every time they fouled him ;-)
On a separate note, following a decent Euro 2016 when they beat Romania 1-0 and missed out narrowly to Switzerland 0-1, their WC 2018 was also very decent. Only losing out to Italy 0-1 and Spain 0-2 and equaling our 3-0 away in Israel ;-)

Albania vs Ukraine was played in Evian, France, hence the low attendance. Yes I agree with you will probably be down to the Bale factor again in Elabasan. It’s a similar sized stadium to Moldova so a similar allocation should be enough - I just hope it doesn’t rain!!! |

We have also booked this one with Wonky Sheep and agree with all of the above having been with them for the Moldova trip last year . |

We'll probably get more tickets if we want them. I really don't think there's any need to panic about not getting a ticket just yet.

Just noticed that the jocks are in town on Saturday 17 November, so no doubt there will be a couple of them still around on the Sunday as well... Lets hope that Albania lose heavily, so there might be more tickets floating around and a party atmosphere in town...
My Alitalia flight only lands at 23.20 on the Saturday...

I'm definitely thinking of spending a few extra days in Albania, probably Berat, and then on to Ohrid and fly back from there. Really looking forward to going to Albania as it's somewhere I've wanted to go to for a while.

I haven't booked my Albania flights yet (just hotel and annual leave) but my options from London include via Istanbul, Athens and Frankfurt. I'll be going on the Sunday.
2000 is a good number although there's showing interest and actually going. Many are beginning to appreciate the less fashionable destinations are the best. Belgrade and Tbilisi were incredible trips. I tend to receive a "what on earth are you going there for?" or, even better, a two minute conversation about Georgia before the man realised I meant the country and not the American state.

Think the Albanian FA web site might become very popular - unless the Israelis and the Scots thump them in Sep/Oct ;-)

Tickets for their home match vs Denmark range from £2 to a pricey £40 for VIP! |

Blinking heck! Looks like we are all going to get wet if it rains, then ;-( In fact, according to this, the tiny VIP covered enclave costs a mighty 10,000 lek, which is a whopping £70 ...
Makes the rubbish away seats at the Aviva for £50 sound like a bargain ;-)
