I wish. Being the broke college student that I am, I can't afford to go to Europe.
Well, I am just way too old compared to most of you here. Don't worry, you will have your chance, you've got so many years ahead of you!
But seriously, this is the perfect time to go to Europe right now as Euro hits the historical low. Just stop partying so much, cut the drinks an stuff and save up some money to go to Europe!

I'd rather be young like you guys than being able to afford to go to Barcelona.

I plan to go on a study abroad to Germany/Spain. So maybe then.

Sad thing is that I don't spend any money on that sort of stuff either. If I can get enough money together I'm hoping to be able to become a Socio at some point (that will be a long way into the future though).

Jawohl! Definitely visit Allianz if you go to Germany, I had a hell of a good time last November when I was there, other than the fact that they defeated Hoffenheim.

I still have a lot of student debt that I pay off monthly. And I graduated almost 15 years ago.

I'm not sure yet.
I know the Michigan has a partnership with the University of Tübingen.

Yeah you could look into going by train. Always thought that might be a cool idea and I plan to do it one day. You would take Eurostar to Paris and then high speed train from Paris to BCN. Heres a link that I used to read about it:
http://www.seat61.com/Paris-to-Barcelona-by-TGV-train.htm#.VP6tzrlyZdg
Looks like it would be an awesome day going like that. No airports and you get to see views across the length of France, the Pyrenees and Catalunya.
Nice one pacp, I was actually talking about train to London
That is a great idea though so may try and convince the Mrs to go with in April if it's cheaper as flights are about £70-£80 at the moment EACH way
I'll give it a look and see if it's possible. Wow, would be cool!! Ha, feel like Sheldon - except not nearly as smart luuul And yes the Euro is ridiculous right now!! £1 is €1.4, that's crazy, in Feb it was 1.34, damn, going to go get some Euro's and get my spending money sorted
Also anyone in the Birmingham or West Midlands area check out FC Barcelona Birmingham Supporters group, word from the group leader is he's going to try organise a meet up for the El Clasico match.
Although going to the Penya in London might be a good idea... hmmm...

Haha will do, if all goes to plan 
***EDIT!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOW!
Nope.
Train is reserved for those like Sheldon only lol
I've just got as far as getting the train from B'ham International > London > Eurostar to Paris.
The outbound is looking to cost about £107.50 so £215 for 2 people. Inbound so the return ticket, would then bring the total to about the same cost as a RETURN journey by plane.
Great for taking in the sights and all but oh damn, time + cost is definitely "travelling by style to Barcelona" but I rather go old back o' the airbus.
That's all before getting the train from Paris to Barcelona too :smiley_scared:
With the connecting train at Paris you might just about make it before the game the same day if it's played on the evening. From here to Barcelona by train you're looking around an approx time of 6-8hours. Think it said about 4 or 5 hours from Paris to Barcelona? Then it's just over an hour to London from B'ham and London to Paris is just over 2hrs.
Sweatyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
