A FOOTBALL fan secured a ticket for Tottenham’s Europa League semi-final at Bodo/Glimt in a swap for a bucket of FISH.
Spurs travel to Norway on Thursday looking to hold on to their 3-1 lead from last week’s first leg in London.
Ange Postecoglou’s men are desperate to reach this month’s final, where they will likely play Premier League rivals Manchester United.
But with Bodo/Glimt’s stadium holding just over 8,000 seats, only a handful of tickets were made available for Thursday’s big clash.
According to the Independent, 50,000 supporters were left to compete for just 480 tickets put on late release.
But one Norwegian managed to bag a ticket in bizarre style.
Torbjorn Eide is a production manager at a fish farm in Senja.
And he managed to eventually get his hands on a ticket by offering up five kilos of boknafisk, a semi-dried fish delicacy, in exchange.
The value of the food came in at £182, with Eide saying: “We produce Norway’s best boknafisk, and you probably can’t get it in Bodo city.
“So I thought maybe someone would want it.”;
Oystein Aanes swapped his ticket for the fish, adding:”;It was just a fun thing.”;
It then inspired another Norwegian, Nils Erik Oskal, to offer up five kilos of reindeer meat worth £73 for a ticket.
And to his delight, someone eventually came forward with an offer.
Oskal said: “Someone took the bait. It didn’t take long.
“(The price) doesn’t matter. I get to experience something huge.”;
