Champions League Final | Tickets - City Official Package + UEFA Tickets | 2022 Final (pg 1033)
- Thread starter MCFC1993
- Start date
Plus the ticket office can probably only cope with one unusual event.Probably delay is deciding whether they can charge everyone 600 euros for a ticket!!
Be let’s get that troublesome ballot out the way for Everton first. We can start the champs league sales next week at reducing points in small increments as there’s a whole two weeks yet.
There obviously will be many things needing to be clarified I assume between UEFA, clubs and airlines such as slots, exemptions for late night flying, how many tickets will be on official club tours etc etc. Ticket spacing for social distancing blah blah. Government departments work incredibly slowly. Of course normally you’d have months to sort all this but the venue was only confirmed Wednesday. There’s probably quite a lot involved in staging a CL final in a pandemic with fans no? That’s my take on it anyhow. Fingers crossed for us allNot saying I disagree, but why are discussions still ongoing? We're allowed in, so what is the hold-up with announcing ticket details? There is surely nothing to discuss if there won't be any bubbles.
Can you explain the logic of that to me, please.I can imagine a scenario whereby fans travelling independently have to be tested before being entered into a fanzone on the day of the game. At that point, they will meet all of the official travel folk and eventually be bussed to the ground. Hard to imagine people just being allowed to rock up at the gate having had two days of socialising and coming from all parts of Portugal.
Everyone who is there will have had a negative test to be allowed into Portugal. They will be no different from someone going to the Algarve. Or someone who just wants to see Porto and not go to the match.
That logic means you shouldn't go to Portugal's beaches. Or go into the restaurants and bars.
Also - there are tickets on sale to the general public. Will they be corralled?
I think the minister for public health would be embarrassed trying to explain that as a policy.
In summary, I am working on the basis that this corralling malarkey isn't happening.

I can't explain it. I'm not endorsing it. But why does everyone have faith in government and football administrators to come up with common sense and fully effective solutions? Is there an ulterior motive in that they actually don't want thousands of pissed football fans?Can you explain the logic of that to me, please.

I can take Tonster's point about Mariana Vieira Da Silva's comments being taken out of context, but this is a key comment:
"Obviously those coming by plane [to be in Porto while the match is on but do not actually go the stadium] will comply with the established rules and security measures will be put in place as happened in Lisbon last year."
What does she mean? I think that there is undue optimism at the moment. It might turn out to be alright but I don't think independent travel and rocking up at the ground in your own time is yet a foregone conclusion for everyone.

I imagine it’s all to do with the perception of football fans and the concern over large events. The Portuguese authorities may be happy to open up the country to normal holidaymakers, they’ll feel happier relying on the cooperation of families, couples should they decide to impose any local restrictions etc.
Anyone who’s done a European away will know that the police and local governments don’t particularly like football fans being around. They don’t trust football fans and so don’t trust football fans to obey any guidelines they may set out. For them they may find it more palatable to keep fans contained and herded

I think that you have put it into words much better than I did.I imagine it’s all to do with the perception of football fans and the concern over large events.

There is no logic to what they are alleged to be doing until you apply a mistrust of football fans in general to the equation.
Fair enough. I just think she was asking a question based on what the rules were at the time of being asked. Been relaxed since then. But, que sera sera.I can't explain it. I'm not endorsing it.

Could do with the tickets going on sale on Tuesday. The Everton match should be wrapped up by then.
Strictly speaking the sample should be taken 72hours before your departure time. If you do an in clinic test, that time will appear on the certificate. That’s not possible with postal ones and they tend to put the time the sample was analysed. So you take your chance with a postal one. However when you check in they don’t go over it with a fine tooth comb they seem to be happy as long as they see the test time was 72hours before and obviously negative.Does anyone know if the pcr test prior to flying has to be taken upto 72 hours prior to flying or if your result has to be within 72 hours of flying? Also do home test kit Pcrs that you send off for a result count? The cheap eurofin £45 tests are home test kits that take upto 48 hours after Royal Mail have returned it to Eurofin to get a result so to be safe you would have to do test about 5 days before flying.

There is a conflict of interests though, like with Chorley's stance on hosting Bolton and Preston away fans. Community Safety v Economic Development.
They didn’t need to agree to hosting it then did they?I imagine it’s all to do with the perception of football fans and the concern over large events.

Wrong, 72hours from departure timeWithin 72 hours of your arrival (not flight time)
A company called synlabs does them at faro airport and other places in faro not sure about other airports for about £30 results in 30 mins.Thanks mate, was wondering how u could prove you have a home test booked but that reference number makes sense. I’ll book the Eurofins test for the day 2 test. Any ideas about the test we have to do in Portugal?

Yes.This is true, and they have a point.

Once they satisfied UEFA's corporate ticket requirement and quarantine exemption, they were free to host it on their own terms. Aside from any mistrust of football fans (particularly from two English clubs), they may just feel that 12,000 people turning up in one city over one weekend is a bit too much too soon.

Anyone thinking otherwise is a complete fucking imbecile.
