4 of us booked flights to Oslo on Wednesday am (6th) returning Friday pm (8th), train to Fredrikstad, 2 nights in Hotel Fredrikstad. Flights partially refundable and free cancellation on hotel.
Plan B for Belgrade - waiting until Thursday!!
 
If it's Belgrade get yersel on Wizz Air website - flights from Luton are about £100

Aye, have booked a hotel that is cancellable for the two nights. No done the flights, didnae ken you could do partly refundable
 
Read somewhere if red star Belgrade are at home and we play partizan, police won't allow both ties same week then legs could be switched, could be shite but going to look into it

That would require the Gibraltar team to knock Red Star out of the Champions League. Not going to happen.
 
Thought it was definitely Fredirikstad if we got through ?
Probably read that wrongly when the draw was made.
 
Checked and was about 90 pounds dearer for flexi one way and 40 the other only 2 seats left on some flights and others sold out from edinburgh

Just to let you know, flights back from Oslo Torp to Manchester on the Friday are at 15 quid and 23 quid on the saturday. Price out from Manchester was £260 ,which is steep. Possibly Norwegian from Edinburgh are cheaper? All depending of course with thursday’s game.

Think it’ll be easy enough to get home end tickets if needed?
 
Looks like Edinburgh Oslo is sold out on the Wednesday with Norwegian on the website but not the app?

I've booked the 20:40 flight from Edinburgh to Oslo on the Wednesday night and returning on Friday at 10:40. Just shy of £300 notes but I booked the flex option which is fully refundable if I cancel.

Belgrade is a bit more tricky to get to. Really need to fly out of London to stand any chance of getting there but you can connect via Amsterdam and Frankfurt. Still working on this one to be honest.

Should think so, just read that their average gate is 8500ish in a stadium that has a capacity of just under 13000.

Apparently they have a standing area that holds 3000 and won't be in use due to uefa regulations, so it could be another 1000+ tickets available to us like Denmark, hopefully not and we get at least 1500 tickets,!!

630 tickets for Norway is what I seen. Cant use the standing areas and it's not 'safe' standing either.

I looked at that, didnae realise it is fully refundable.
 
I have given up, when I try to pay the airline website goes down.
 
All sorted now although the decent flights back are sold out on Friday, so me and Shrink might get a bit of sightseeing done in Fredrikstad.
 
Heard earlier tonight that if it is Belgrade in the next round we may not be getting any tickets. (This came from an employee at hibs who was telling fans this in the corporate section on Thursday).

Anyone else heard similar?

@Power any updates, a fair few of us plan to travel. Early confirmation might save us a fortune?

I'd like to think that if Hibs know we wont be getting tickets, or there is a chance we may not get any then they'd have let us know already because on Thursday at 10pm, if we've been beaten theres going to be hundreds booking Serbia including myself. I don't want to be told a few days later that we've done our money because we wont get into the game.
 
I read that the Serbs are only using 1/3 of the stadium capacity so if correct, that cuts the total to 6k .
Minimum percentage sounds likely if not Zero.
 
Allegedly, the Security dude hen Broon , B7 baby sitter was saying no tickets for Belgrade . You’d hope that is wrong as you’d expect under UEFA rules you are entitled .

However, game is in 8 days Hibs will know the ticket arrangements for Norway and Serbia. If they don’t then someone isn’t doing their job properly.

They should be telling us today what’s happening.

As I say in my post, if on Thursday things dont go our way and we need to book belgrade and Hibs have not told us there wont be any tickets then there will be a riot if we lose out on a few hundred quid for flights etc. We need to order their currency as well as I cant see many travel money places stocking thousands of Dinar

AEK Larnaca had a small support in Belgrade for the last round, and Partizan Belgrade fans were most certainly in Larnaca as well.

This video I found from the Larnaca game doesn't look like they have a limited capacity either, it looks rammed.

Might be domestic matches only as last 2 games it was 2,500 and under 2,000.

Frederikstad have been in touch to confirm the away end has 563 seats in the Frederikstad Stadion.

We’ll take tickets offered for match against either Oleksandriya or Partizan but specifics still TBC on that one.

Rangers visited Red Star Belgrade in 2022, so there is a loose operations plan to check against.

I’m on holiday with family this week but asked to be kept in the loop and I’ll share what I’m given.
