Match tickets prices couldn't be more irrelevant. I find it hard to stay in the ground for 90 minutes of a competitive match, let alone for a friendly.
Go anyway, just swerve the game(s).. Not going to Munich for 2/3 days because of a £60 match ticket is a bit laughable.
I made the mistake of buying a match tickets for Tromso away (£60 - which compared to the £10 a pint over there isn't so bad I suppose), and I was out the ground and back in a pub after 25 minutes. Football is boring.
eanN17 For the social
Because the highlights of the trip probably wont be the game, it'll be the nights out with your friends and exploring Munich.I might as well go at a different time, if I'm not going to watch the football. Spending £50+ on a ticket for a friendly match isn't something I'm prepared to do, I don't know why that's considered laughable.
Fair enough. I think there might be other ways of using the time better if one think football is boring. Because football is quite an important part of eh..going to football.

Football always ruins the day out. I spend a good 3 hours each way on a train and a couple of hours in a pub(s) pre-match usually. Most of the time the football is the worst part. Villa last week being a prime example. Personally I still stick it out but each to their own.
Always? If it's always I can't understand why you guys bother..

To be honest I contradicted myself a bit by putting 'always' and then 'most of the time'. You know what I mean. Its a good day out, having a laugh then we lose at home 1-0 to some utter shite team. Luckily I've learnt not to take it personally and just enjoy the day regardless. Some get angry, I just laugh and say 'This is Spurs, it's what we do', then rock up week after week going through the same.
Being fair, it is worth going through all the shit for the moments of magic that do happen. And I guess that is why 'us guys' keep doing it.
NINE NINE THE GUY SAID TO US 18 QUID SWEET.Won't tickets be cheap in Germany?
Then why are you watching it? Why the hell would you go to Tromsø only to stay 25 minutes in the stadium? Surely a waste of time? (no need to do the Shirley joke).

Have you ever been to Tromso? If you have, you should know the answer to that. If you haven't, it's a case of TTKK - it's an unbelievable place, I've never been anywhere like it. Put it this way, I didn't board 2 flights, with a 4 hour wait at Oslo airport getting there to watch 11 overpaid tossers play a pub team on a plastic pitch.
If waving a big ol' flag in the South Lower at home to Anzhi whateverthey'recalled makes somebody a top fan, then I'll go with that. But 22 trips abroad with Spurs at the age of 22 is fine by me, and if I want to leave after 25 minutes to have a beer (it was freezing too ) and watch it in the pub.. I personally dont think I need to justify that.
EDIT: I'm assuming you're Norwegian by the way you did the 'o' in Tromso. Either that, or you're very keen on the old grammar front.
