Norwegian Fan Trades 5kg Fish for Tottenham Europa League Ticket

With only 480 tickets available for Bodo/Glimt's Europa League semi-final against Tottenham and around 50,000 fans vying for them, some Norwegian supporters turned to creative bartering to secure entry. Torbjorn Eide, a production manager at a fish farm, successfully traded five kilos of boknafisk, a prized Norwegian semi-dried fish, for a ticket to the match. Inspired by Eide's success, another fan, Nils Erik Oskal, offered five kilos of reindeer meat and also managed to obtain a ticket. Both fans emphasized the unique and fun nature of these exchanges, with Eide noting the rarity of his boknafisk in Bodo and Oskal expressing excitement about experiencing a major sporting event. These unconventional trades highlight the lengths to which fans will go to witness a historic match, as Bodo/Glimt aims to become the first Norwegian club to reach a European final. The match also drew attention due to Tottenham's 3-1 advantage from the first leg.
