Champions League Final | Tickets - City Official Package + UEFA Tickets | 2022 Final (pg 1033)

The announcement is good and potentially bad news. Good news because it allows people to travel to Portugal. Potentially bad news because if it is charter-only entry, nobody will be able to get a refund for their flight. There'll be plenty of blues who will honour their independent travel commitments and watch in a bar whilst we might not sell out inside the ground. The world is a crazy place at the moment.

My thoughts exactly this.

Think the club will communicate something today so lets just wait for that.

Certainly wasn't plans on doing so this morning

I just cant see logistically how they could charter 12,000 in and out in one day though

I can honestly picture 4-5k blues (and however many Chelsea) all packed in to bars in the city whilst the allocated seats are half empty. What a fuck up that will be haha

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Hearing staff tickets are likely predicated on them going with club charter.

Don't know if that helps inform anyone on here?

Sorry to nominate you as the resident expert but if I ordered 2 of these PCR tests would that satisfy requirements to get into Portugal (if negative obviously) and requirements to get back in UK, knowing there’s a test waiting for me when I get back? Or do I have to make an appointment rather than home delivery? Cheers

I’m pretty confident this changes that whole equation. The bubble was the solution if Portugal wasn’t open, thats the question that was asked. How will you host the match when visitors aren’t allowed?
The reporting of this has been fucking shameful . As predicted Portugal is now open (well from midnight Sunday). Hopefully criteria will be out later today. Clearly City would need to wait for that decision before publishing anything. If it was all decided in advance then details would have been out by now surely?

It does seem like a big ask. Am I right in thinking that Chelsea and United fans were all chartered in and out of Moscow in 2008?

I remember Manchester Airport's busiest day ever being the 2003 CL final between Milan and Juve.

I think it's possible that they could pull it off.

Big thanks to whoever told me to hold fire with cancelling the Istanbul flight in the hope that the airline would eventually cancel themselves anyway.

Just got a notification today saying they had cancelled the flight and I've managed to get a full refund. Thank fuck.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Why the fuck they could not just have it at Villa Park is beyond me ......

Or Istanbul , I bet it’s open for business next week

 

[Impeccable One]

Would the one you book be valid for the return if it's within 72 hours of going out? Apologies - I know these questions about tests have been doing the rounds a lot on here but it's something we all need to be aware of before we go.

YES … https://www.gov.uk/guidance/corona...coronavirus-test-before-you-travel-to-england

“If you are returning to the UK within 3 days, you can use the result of a COVID-19 test that you take in the UK before you travel. You must use a private test provider for the test and not an NHS test.”

Its ok mate ive got a holiday booked there for after the final so ive been looking into it a bit!

PCR test inside 72hr before flying. Rapid test in portugal inside 72 hours before flying home (30 euros) then another PCR on or before day 2 with day zero being the day you land.

Told otherwise, but let's wait for whenever they do then :)

Edit: scratch that. They meant ballot results which I keep forgetting about

This for me. The day at Manchester in question was immense I seem to remember hearing about. Very little issues and that was when the airport was running at full capacity too. This end isn't the issue though sadly.

Manchester Airport has previously and almost routinely moved 100,000 passengers per day during peak summer. I think 6,000 with very little other transport won't be to difficult!

Creeping ****, are you on commission:)

 

[Shaelumstash]

Have the club put out details of their flights yet

All they've said is that they will be selling day trip flights as a package with a ticket.

They've not confirmed whether they will be selling tickets separately from flights, but you'd have to assume they will.

Yeah I can only imagine that the ticketing department are having a meltdown right now, my source isn't involved in that side of the club but has messaged me saying no ticket news today re: Porto
