Anyone been to the Nou Camp ?

I saw champions league semi final with Real Madrid.. The most ferocious and intense crowd I have ever seen.
It was a few years ago now, when Figo first moved over and mcmanaman played and scored for Real.
The loudest of any crowd or place I have been. We never made the tour of the ground, but have heard that is good.
Not all games are sold out, or even half full. Typically The seats are owned by season ticket holders and they don't go to all games.
Edit to add:
Blimey, that was 11 years ago....!

Yep, went in 2008 to see the mighty Benidorm lose 1-0 in the last few minutes.

Couldn't get 2 seats together in the cheap areas...I say cheap,2 tickets cost 99 euros !It was a few years ago now, when Figo first moved over and mcmanaman played and scored for Real.

Been to the CN twice, once passing through to see Celtic at Valencia,took the tour as there was no game on. Impressive tour, specially as I spent most of the time speaking to a fellow everton fan.
Second time was for a CL league game with Celtic. No segregation, no hassle, plenty of noise (but i am used to European games at celtic Park!) At the end the giant scoreboard showed both club crests and literally "haste ye back"
There is something magic about following your team in Europe, one huge family, one huge party. We used to make a holiday of it, take a week. Glad we weren't in Kazakhstan last night for all that!

.......... nuff said really.I went a few years ago, was immense. We went on the Friday to do the tour and got tickets then for the Saturday night match. It was just brilliant, we were on the lower tier in line with the goal line rather than the top tier, and the tickets weren't silly money either.
Ronaldinho was doing press stuff on the pitch when we did the tour, so was juggling the ball and the like. Barca won the match 2-0 from memory, both goals in the second half. The place went nuts.
All in all, well worth it!
