John;

Thanks very much for the info. Taking the train from Federico Lacroze sounds like a great idea. I have always wanted to visit the cemetary in Chacarita, so we can combine that with a trip to Hurlingham to purchase Polo tickets.

And bizco, if it is anything like Palermo you won't have any trouble getting tickets to the preliminary round matches at Hurlingham on the day before ( or even the day of ) the match from the club ticket office.

If you are planning to attend a semi-final match or the final match you might want to get tickets in advance. I don't see tickets for Hurlingham on Ticketek. And I have never been able to get Ticketek to work for me anyway.

I see on the Hurlingham Club website that they also have accommodation. That might be worth checking out for anyone travelling to BA who wants a night or two outside the city centre.
