How to go abroad to watch football?

Going abroad to watch football is not a trip that you can just go on. Rich people, don’t worry. It’s not that you don’t have time or money, but really, if you really want to go, you have to prepare as early as possible. Why? First, you have to get a visa. The issue of visas is both simple and complicated. Going abroad to watch football is nothing more than the four countries of England, Spain, Germany and Italy. However, the visas of the four countries are different. Except for the cold and cold UK, the other three countries are Schengen. As for the UK, the consulate is extremely cold-blooded and has high requirements. Last time a friend of mine applied for a UK visa, he was called and asked a lot of common questions, such as how many people are in the family? What's the matter? Then it took a week or two and there was no reply. In Spain, conditions are relatively relaxed, but Spanish people are too laid-back and manly. Last time, it was a friend of mine who waited for a long time and asked many times, urging the consulate to issue him a visa. , the air ticket was changed twice... Not to mention Germany and Italy. In Germany, you can get a visa but you can't get a game ticket. By the way, the above mentioned are only the consulate steps, not the preparation of materials. Well, first of all, you must have a passport. If you are not in the city where you work, go back to the place where you have registered residence to apply for it first. Remember to go on a working day, otherwise the government agencies will not be working. If you are a northerner working in Guangzhou, congratulations. Let’s make the long journey back to get a passport first. Secondly, the regular materials for a visa include bank statements, asset certificates, neighborhood committee certificates, air ticket information, hotel booking information, itinerary information... As for bank statements, generally speaking, there are normal funds within six months (there must be no large unexplained amounts) ), and then the deposit balance is at least about 20,000 to 50,000. As for the proof of assets, if you are a earner and don’t have much bank deposits, but you have a car and a house, then it can be used as proof. If you don’t have it, and your husband/wife does, it can also be used as an auxiliary proof. The neighborhood committee certificate is to prove that you live in that part of that city, but there is no uniform standard for neighborhood committee services. It all depends on your character. Then, air tickets/hotels/itinerary information, that is to say, you have to book air tickets and hotels when submitting your visa application. This is simple (fuck), just search for the flight and place a deposit on Qunar/Ctrip and the like. It is the most popular airline for travel in Europe, and the price difference is relatively large. At this point, you may decide to give up your travel plan, because you will choose Air France/Aeroflot/Turkish Airlines/Emirates/Air China in order to save some money or time. / Lufthansa... Choose from a large number of flights. If you are from the Pearl River Delta region, congratulations, you will also choose from departure places such as Guangzhou/Hong Kong/Shenzhen. Okay, that’s it for the air tickets... As for the hotels, you can go to Booking to find them, and then go to the map to see which hotels are roughly where. Oh, by the way, in the early stage, you have to look at the map of the destination first to understand. Know the location between the airport - hotel - attractions - stadium, transportation information, etc. Then, there are no star standards for hotels in Europe. You have to click in to see what services are available, how much the price is, what the interior decoration is like... As for the itinerary, you can search for reference itineraries on Qiongyou/Cicada Travels. Then copy and paste it yourself. After completing all the above, just hand it over to the consulate. If you are lucky enough to be selected for an interview, go to the interview again. Then just wait, wait, wait. If the consulate notifies you that the visa has been approved, then breathe a sigh of relief. If it does not pass, then congratulations, go ahead and cancel your flight and hotel. By the way, after talking so much, I haven’t talked about the game tickets. As for the tickets, those in the Premier League are expensive, those in La Liga are relatively cheap, and those in the Bundesliga are basically unavailable. How expensive is the Premier League? It’s about 1,000 RMB, a few hundred yuan for La Liga, and you may not be able to buy one for Bundesliga even if you have money. As for the ticket purchasing channels, there can be the official website, or some other ticketing websites, or... if you dare, Taobao seems to have someone selling them. In order not to digress, let me echo the beginning. Why do you say you need to prepare in advance? Visas/air tickets/hotels/game tickets all need to be processed at least three months in advance. Some people even have to prepare for visas half a year in advance to make bank statements. So the question is, three months in advance, how do you know whether you will be busy at work, whether you will take leave, and whether you will have money? It can only be said that there is no way. The reality is like this. The plan cannot keep up with the changes, but I want to go and see it. Then you have to prepare in advance. Some people may say, why is it so troublesome? I can just go to a travel agency to buy a product, and then I can buy the tickets myself. Yes, it can be like this, but I don’t know if the travel agency will allow you to move around freely. Anyway, if you leave the group without permission, the tour guide will call the police, otherwise they will bear legal responsibility if you run away. You can also travel independently through a travel agency + buy your own tickets. Therefore, there are companies (Shire Sports/Fengyun Sports/Kusei) that have developed some sports tourism products, specially developed for fans like us who want to go out but don’t understand or find it troublesome. However, because the market price is small There are few high-end customers, so these companies will keep the price very low, including air tickets and free travel. It looks beautiful, and you can go to a game for a few thousand yuan, but after calculation, you still have to pay for it. At least 20,000.

However, the prices of those who offer all-inclusive packages seem to scare them away. Why is it that a travel agency offering a tour of ten European countries plus a football ticket is not more expensive than you? This... because travel agencies make small profits but quick turnover. Bundled shopping, and will not drag you to visit the stadium, sign autographs of players, buy tickets, visit training... In summary, if you want to watch football abroad, it is convenient and simple to buy sports travel products, as long as it can satisfy the football experience To meet your needs, just put down the calculator in your hand and stop doing so many calculations.
