"Eide expressed, "We produce Norway's best boknafisk, and you probably can't get it in Bod city. So I thought maybe someone would want it.""
"Oskal shared his perspective, saying, "But that doesn't matter, I get to experience something huge.""
A Norwegian resident bartered five kilos of semi-dried fish for a ticket to the Europa League semi-final between Bod/Glimt and Tottenham. With only 480 tickets available and 50,000 eager fans, Torbjorn Eide offered boknafisk, valued at 2,500 crowns, to secure entry to the match. Oystein Aanes accepted, saying it was a fun exchange. Inspired, another fan, Nils Erik Oskal, traded five kilos of reindeer meat. Both fans emphasized the experience over monetary value, highlighting the festival-like atmosphere around the match as Bod/Glimt aims for a historic European final appearance.
