Madrid: Music and Football - 05/01/03 02:01 PM

Hello, I'm going to be in Madrid for a weeks holiday between the 18th and 25th of June and I have a couple of questions.

Real Madrid play Athelic Bibao on the 22nd of June, I know that tickets usually go on sale a couple of days before the game, but any idea what the chances are of actually getting a ticket? (bearing in mind it's also the last game of the season)

Also are there any good online music sites for checking out if there are any decent bands playing in Madrid between those dates?

Cheers!

I suspect your chances will depend on whether they are either Champions or in with a shout of being Champions that day. You can either try www.localidadesgalicia.com - a ticket agency who will mark up tickets but not to the same extent as a tout, or take a trip up to the ground a couple of days before the game and try the ticket office (taquilla). I've done this a few times and got tickets right up in the Gods and guess you would be ok if they have blown the league.
