I looked at the Metz airport website and there aren't any UK destinations shown:

I also checked prices on Skyscanner and it offered Gatwick or Stanstead to Luxembourg, unless you wanted to fly via Paris and Nice to get to Metz!
London City airport is best for Luxembourg. Turbo prop. Not cheap though. Luxair, couple of hundred quid

Does anyone know when tickets go on sale for this one?
The club are leaving it very late. Don't want to book travel/hotel when the match tickets aren't even on sale yet.

Apparently waiting on FC Metz regarding ticket allocation. They are reluctant to provide away allocation due to that area of the ground being refurbished? (You'd have thought they would have thought of that before agreeing to the game). There are away fan restrictions on entering 'home fan' areas & advising not to purchase direct from FC Metz. CPFC are holding a meeting Friday to discuss how to resolve the matter. Meanwhile, travel arrangements & hotel booked - I hope it still goes ahead. Indications are it will because tickets to home fans already on sale.

Does anyone know if there is any new yet re tickets for this game?
Was going to go but cant be asked to pay for travel if away tickets are not going to be sold.
Did email the club to find out but (surprise surprise) nobody got back to me.
Sometimes this club are so crap at arranging things.

Likewise Tom, been trying to contact them & find out what occurred with their alleged meeting yesterday to discuss when & if CPFC would get an allocation. It's being left late but I've already made travel arrangements after the announcement and will be most unhappy if it goes t**s up and costing me.

11th July Palace announced this friendly with a note that ticket information would follow.
I have spoken to the box office twice, once being told there was a meeting on Friday (yesterday) and then late Friday afternoon was told something will be put on Website.
Still nothing, 4 of us waiting to book ferry and hotel this is a very poor show by Palace to keep supporters in the dark and whoever is responsible for organising this friendly without thinking of supporters wanting tickets should be ashamed and give a proper explanation

If Palace don't get an official allocation of tickets, then 'General public' print at home etickets can be bough online on the Metz club website. It's not too hard to translate and purchase. Not perfect, but just saying.

Anyone know of a good pub/bar/fine-dining establishment that those of us traveling to Metz can hook up at and get the party started?

There is a bistro called 'Kristal Palace' on Rue Gambetta, not far from the station. No idea what it's like, though, as I've never been. We do plan to visit, possibly on Friday night...

Emailed the club on Friday requesting ticket info, they emailed me back today the below.
Im now not going to bother going just to sit in the away end.
Dear Tom,
Thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately FC Metz have not given us an allocation of tickets to sell for this game as of yet, it appears online they are only selling tickets to home fans.
If we do receive an allocation or any other means for our fans to buy tickets for this game, we will get this information announced on our official club website.
Kind regards
Sam C

I've tweeted a Steve Parish in an attempt to get this resolved -
Such a shambles - unsure whether to negotiate the FC Metz tickets site in order to get a ticket!
Have already got flights/train/hotel booked for this!

A word of warning with the FC Metx site option, I did buy tkts from them and have a detailed receipt, however it tells me in the email

That response just 5 days before the game is not good enough from the Club
I know it is Metz causing the problem but the fixture should not have been agreed without ticket arrangements sorted

You cannot blame CPFC for another clubs issue. Maybe they dont want away fans to save on the cost of policing. Am sure i read that Metz have an issue with crowd trouble.
Its only a friendly and nothing to to get stressed about.
