I went Madrid 2 weekends ago . I noticed in the club shop that They had tickets available for their next game which was last Saturday against Leganes.i know someone who went to that game and he bought tickets off there official website about 3/4 weeks ago so it may be that they don't go on general sale until closer to the date .
Been to Atletico twice, most recently last December. You can buy tickets online, although not until much nearer the time, two or three weeks in advance.
Bear in mind you may have problems paying with a UK credit or debit card - first time I went I had no problems, second time I tried four different cards and it wouldn't have it, got a mate to try and his worked fine, there's no rhyme or reason to it. Had the same issue booking tickets at Seville and Real, my card issuers all said the problem was at the Spanish end and not them blocking the transaction. Don't know about the ground move, but if you can't get into Atletico then I would definitely make Rayo a priority, supposed to be very good atmosphere.
Are they definitely moving as I had seen some stories it was not confirmed they were moving at the end of the season.
Must admit that going by recent photos on this new twitter account it still looks a way off but they still say they hope it's ready for the start of next season

Was you able to pick up a programme?
Mates in the past have said they did not see anything at various other grounds. There was not one produced when I went over to Valencia for our game in 2006.
With a bit of luck they may be on different days and you can go to both haha
I'll resist the urge!
I am going over to Prague when we are at Sheff United for a groundhopping and beer guzzling weekend. We have two/three games for the Saturday and two for the Sunday lined up, we are now waiting to see if we can squeeze one in on Friday night.
Needless to say it is just me and two mates going, my beloved will have to miss this one out!
Remember they switch games for TangeV only a few weeks beforehand. The weekend games can be from Friday evenings to Sunday evening IIRC.
I made sure I changed the flight for this reason.
We are due to arrive at the hotel for 18.00 and so would hopefully have ample time, kick-offs can be around 21.00?
No later than 9pm. Last time I went to watch Valencia play, they moved the game from A Saturday afternoon, to Sunday morning and then to Monday night at 9pm. When I booked my flights I did it to arrive Friday and depart Tuesday.
Another option for Madrid is Getafe - they are at home on the 7th against Córdoba.

I'm sure Reams will enjoy having the weekend to himself.

Good shout.
It is good there are options but I am determined to do Atletico as the ground looks excellent, I have not been unable to get a ticket before at football so fingers crossed.
Funnily enough I am not at all interested in doing a tour of the Bernabau.

Bernebau tour was dull compares to Nou Camp. Great stadium though.

Never saw any programmes at Atletico. Real do a free handout but I think they're in the minority.

I get the impression the Nou Camp is better. I'll have to do that next season.

We got a programme/magazine for Atletico v Levante 16/03/2008. It was A4 sized.
