How to follow Nottingham Forest in Europe

Nottingham Forest are gearing up for their first season in European competition since 1995/96 and their supporters are now counting down the days until their first away trip of the campaign to Seville to see their team take on Real Betis.

For a whole generation of Nottingham Forest fans, this will be the first time they have ever watched their team away in Europe, so the excitement is understandable.

The situation is even better than they first thought, too, as they have ended up in the Europa League when they only officially qualified for the Conference League. However, issues with Crystal Palace's ownership have allowed them to leapfrog the Eagles into Europe's second tier.

If you are planning on following Nottingham Forest in Europe this season, here is everything you need to know.

The draw for the Europa League league phase has been completed, and Nottingham Forest now know who they will be playing and when. Their four away games during the league phase will be as follows:

How to get Nottingham Forest Euro away tickets

At the time of writing, ticket information has only been released for the match against Real Betis, but we can expect a similar process to be followed for all of their Europa League matches.

For the match against Betis, Forest have been given an allocation of 3,385 tickets. The ticket sales process for this match was done in four phases, as outlined below.

• Phase 1: Season Card Holders who had opted in to the away ticket scheme at the priority plus or priority one tier.
• Phase 2: All Season Card Holders who had opted into the way ticket scheme.
• Phase 3: All remaining Season Card Holders
• Phase 4: All MyForest Members

As we can see, for the best chance of getting Nottingham Forest European away matches this season, you are going to need to be a Season Card Holder who has opted in the club's away ticket scheme. It's unlikely that the club will receive an allocation as big as big as this in any of their other games so member may struggle to get tickets.
