We got them at massive rip off prices from the hostel we stayed in

included bus there and back and snack and drink that we never got. Only one of our party got robbed; but he was taking photos with an expensive digital SLR... Me and my mate, though, didn't get any trouble. Cost us 450 peso for a 40 peso ticket... Someone's making a lot of money from tourists (Uruguay tickets were 900 pesos (~30 quid) from a normal ticketing agent) We were in the away end for Boca, which was mental enough. The noise was incredible throughout the whole match - don't think I'll ever experience that sort of atmosphere again in my life!

Chile played quite well apart from lack of cutting edge and dodgy defence. Was at the wrong end for their goal so don't know if it was offside or not.

BsAs is fantastic - lots of walking round to various historical sites, lots of steak and lots of beer. Also went to Colonia, Montevideo (best steak!) and Punta Del Diablo in Uruguay and up to Iguazu (pisses all over Niagra) and Mendoza (fine wine, fine wine and more fine wine and steaks). Everyone we met raved about Chile though so deffo on the next S. American itinerary.
