So we are currently in between the two legs of the semi-finals, and it looks likely that there'll be a repeat of the final from two years ago. I have been living in Israel, with very modest means, for all of the three previous Champions League finals that we've played in since I've been born. This time, I land in London the night before the final, so all I need is a ticket. My options at this point are:
1. Malcom Glazer - need to contact my Uncle who I haven't seen or spoken to since my Grandmother died about 20 years ago. Chances: Hopeful
2. Nick Dasousa - a mate of Jez's and a guy I used to go to school with. He has the Jez's family season tickets and may let me take the second ticket if he is successful in the United ballot for tickets. Chances: Worth asking
3. Facebook- I managed to get a ticket for the derby at Eastlands last season by pestering my friends on facebook and updating my status saying that I am looking. It's a long-shot, but it may pay-off. Chances: Slim
4. Gary's uncle - Gary from Ravid went to the cup final two years ago with tickets he got from a mate of his uncle who worked in the catering department at Wembley. Chances: Desperate times call for desperate measures.
5. Tout outside the ground - Would probably cost me four figures, but I'd go to the stadium without a ticket in the hope that I chance upon someone selling a ticket at face value. If I fail, I'd just need to find a nearby pub to watch the match. Chances: Nothing to lose by that point.
