... around the eurocopa like its an olympic event. Every hostel and hotel was booked and we didnt have a place to stay so we scalped tickets to the Portugal Germany quarterfinal match later that night. Little did we know the kid who sold it to us was a relative of one of the portugese players and didnt want to go to the game so he sold them to us for less than face value i think 200 euros ...
