Rudi Hates Hibees Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Has anyone ever been to this before? I'm looking at trying to get tickets for the next one on the 15th Jan. I've had a look in the obvious places but no mention of game yet. I realise it's still a bit away though. The only places that seem to be offering tickets at the moment are the usual seatbookers and similar sites which I'd rather not use unless as a last resort. So anyone able to help?

Rand Paul's Ray Bans Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 The only thing I know is that you will need to take your passport with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Hates Hibees Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 The only thing I know is that you will need to take your passport with you. I'm not sure I have one of them. How would I go about obtaining said Passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor FinnBarr Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm not sure I have one of them. How would I go about obtaining said Passport? Ask at a police station, they take your pic and provide you with a passport, costs about ?150 in used, unmarked notes tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand Paul's Ray Bans Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm not sure I have one of them. How would I go about obtaining said Passport? Yeah I came across as a bit dim there I mention it as a few years back my school did a school trip to Milan and were planning to go to an Inter game. They were refused entry to the ground as they hadn't taken their passports with them to the game. They were a bit hacked off. I don't want you to be the same!

Well that's what happened to them, maybe it's a Milan thing. Or the fact that it was a school group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disbelieve you Lionel, it just seems very strange to have to carry your passport to a match. Fickin ridic TBH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it the exact same thing happened to me in Athens. Luckily the folk I had met earlier on that day were with me and had theirs with them, explained that I was with them and somehow the guy let me in. Since that night I have always had my passport with me when tryng to enter a ground abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I agree; I found it hard to believe at first as well. Even a fat languages teacher arguing in (possibly broken) Italian couldn't blag their way in! It does sound ridiculous, but I thought I should bring it up as it'd be feckin' irritating if that sort of check was in place and you were unaware of it . But anyway, well jealous; I've been to the San Siro before on a tour, would love to take in the Milan derby. And the museum is worth a look - a ticket and programme from a Milan match versus The Famous from years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you know someone on the inside, so to speak, you're only option will be to apply online. The number of tickets available via this method is usually vastly outnumbered by the number of applications. I've tried this on 8 previous occasions and got nowhere close to being successful. On the other hand, I have managed to get tickets through another source and have attended two derbies. Fantastic occasions, incredible noise and atmosphere. Good luck! And yes, you will need to have ID with you at the turnstile. I think Italian ID cards are usually the order of the day but, assuming you don't have one of these, your passport will be required.

hmfc_liam06 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I don't disbelieve you Lionel, it just seems very strange to have to carry your passport to a match. Fickin ridic TBH! You will definitely need to take your passport to the game. I attended a Lazio game in Jan there and had to show it at two different turnstyles whilst being frisked both times, standard practice for non-nationals.

Photo ID has to be shown by anyone attending a Serie A match. Tickets are nominal and the name on the ticket has to match the photo ID. It's supposed to be an anti-hooliganism measure but it's really about making life more difficult for ticket touts. A photo driving licence will do just as well as a passport and is more easily carried in your wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilev Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I had tickets for the game in April but had to return them as they brought in a new rule just for that game insisting that you needed to have pre-registered as a milan supporter club member. If I remember correctly its free to join and you can apply on-line. I was too late to do it so had to hand the tickets back and it wasn't the same sitting in a bar in Milan watching the game!
