Does anyone know how to get tickets for Empoli games. I have tried ticketone but they don't seem to sell any.

I went to Empoli in April 2004 and was able to buy tickets for Empoli v Perugia at the ticket office on the day of the game without any problems - apart from the big teams, and local derbies, they don't sell out.

I saw Empoli play Udinese back in 2003.

Im aware thats verging on irrelevance....

Oh, I think you've gone way beyond 'verging'

I think you could probably get tickets on the Empoli website (www.empolicalcio.it), but it's all in Italiano...

I got a ticket from Ticket one in the end. It cost me 60 euros and the stadium was only half full.

And the face value was?

Bet you could have bought tickets on the day.

You could not get them on the day as the match was all ticket.
I had a problem getting into Pisa vs Lucchesse where that was also all ticket.

Last September i got tickets from the ticket office for 25euro (terrece) face value, they'll ask you which team and then they'll give you a ticket for that teams' section. If its a popular team (eg. Juve) you'll need to start queuing 1.5 hours in advance as it takes about 1 hour to queue. Have cash ready, because it's a bit of a scrum and i doubt they'd entertain credit cards.

As you approach the stadium from the train station (approx 20 minute walk) take a left at the last junction before the stadium, walk for 200 meters and the ticket office is on your right.

Regional trains from Florence are every 15 minutes on Sunday mornings and take 30 minutes from Florence SMN to Empoli.

Trains timetable is on www.trenitalia.it

Sorry, i only read the first few posts.

why was somma evr sacked, he was awsum i thought and the article on him in the magazine was top class. Tavano rules! Is pozzi any gud??

He was probably sacked for the same reason Donadoni was, more or less sacked, at Livorno. Quite a few Italian clubs seem to run by some megalomaniac nutter - Perugia, Cagliari, Genoa etc etc - that if they haven't sacked a coach in three months they start to get a bit twitchy

yeh ur so right there, the livorno president has even admitted he made a mistake in criticisin donadoni. In the recent magazine their was the genoa coach that had just lost his 1st match after a 36 game unbeaten run and got sacked!!!!

but i always found it fascinatin that somma always used the philosophy that 'if you have 11 strikers, you can ask them to defend. But if you have 11 defenders, you will never attack the other team', this i think makes a lot of sense!!
