Champions League Final | Ticket Criteria | SOLD OUT

[TedofChume]

That was right in the middle of covid and there was probably only 5 or 6 thousand blues there. Security would have been much tighter and easier to implement due to the low numbers

Not really it was more lax than a lot of away UCL games I've been to.

 

[geoff hammond]

At the moment I’m just looking at flights. Is accommodation plentiful, reasonably priced if I hit the go button.
Not told the wife yet either!!

I can’t really remember. Think I was still in a daze after seeing the line up as I walked up to the stadium

 

[OB1]

but if you want them together i assume you would have to wait till it hits the person with the lowest points in the group ?

Clearly.

Yes there’s loads of options at good prices

 

[PragueBlue]

Absolutely way more. It'll sell out also easily. This is the 1st real European cup final (No COVID bollocks) for people my age (39) wouldn't be surprised if we have 30,000+ blues in Istanbul

I'd be surprised if it sold out at ST holders. I suspect that anyone who wants one will get one but let's see.

 

[117 M34]

I've had a nightmare.
Booked my flight tonight and realised that I made a typo with the spelling.
Had to cancel and will need to re-book.

Really I’ve been to a lot and apart from the celtic farce only remember paris and Madrid being checks oh and a half arsed effort in Lisbon

internet kills off any chance of decently priced flights these days with so many looking and multiple searches. as people have said the direct flights Fri to sun are still not sold out yet have doubled since yesterday and now comfortably above the clubs own ripoff offer. £1200 now direct MAN to IST

in the old days you’d be down the travel agent and everyone would pay what the original price was

I tend to gamble on flights before each draw and have been very lucky in recent seasons with a few losses but realistically it’s the only way to get a decent travel time at reasonable cost

am awaiting my hotel bookings to be cancelled given they’ve now gone up by 600%

 

[Matt.D]

Before anyone has a go at City, we don’t know how much it costs to charter planes on short notice to Istanbul. Just look at the other direct flight options on Skyscanner, it’s an expensive trip.

Get real mate it’s an outrageous price.

 

[TedofChume]

I what I mean is they aren’t bothered who buys it. So a seasoncard holder passes the code on, someone else logs in and puts their name and passport on the e-ticket and not the seasoncard holders.

Plus, they may have checked your passport but what % get checked? Only matters in the scenario for some reason the code City give you brings up the seasoncard holders name when you log into Uefas site, which I doubt it will

That's a great assumption to make, but it is trivial to tie these details together and when Mr Big Bollocks turns up with a Phat Cheque and wants 50 tickets, UEFA will take the money off him and invalidate or move any tickets they can.

They are totally corrupt. I know from Porto. My ticket was originally in the City end, then 4 hrs before kick off I was placed in the Chelsea end, 30 City fans in the seats Chelsea had returned surrounded by them, Chelsea, on all sides, no segregation, no stewards, no police, nothing.

Probably the internet which gets you the cheap prices in the first place.

 

[Indaparkside]

Fuck euefa let’s boooo in the pub and save £1,000’s

You can still get out to Istanbul via Brussels from Dublin Thursday to Monday for €400. I’m sure you’d get a dirt cheap flight Weds night to Dublin. Not ideal but saves a nice few Bob

Mine were cheeked there too, as well as Bruges, Kharkiv and Napoli, but it seemed easier and quicker with the e ticket, they just scanned both.

 

[levets]

I’m a bit concerned. I am a seasonal ‘hospitality’ member in Joe’s. I have 12,500 points. The problem I have is 3 fold.
1) I can’t request an access code as when I try, it states restricted sale; in other words it doesn’t recognise me as a season ticket holder.
2) I’m disabled and confined to a wheelchair, I can’t go alone so need a carer with me. How do I get an access code for my carer?
3) I can’t be expected to pay cat 1 or 2 prices to sit in my wheelchair should I? UEFA website shows wheelchair/access pricing, but City state there are NO concessions?
Is there anybody else in this situation that can offer some advice.

I also have issues 2 + 3 with my daughter who has a disability. God help us trying to get our questions answered before the Monday free for all ?

Yes obviously but point was that prices are pushed up by searches not actual bookings. there will be cheaper non-direct routes available in a week or two for sure

 

[west didsblue]

profiteering cunts. I used to do that trip regularly for £180 return when covid kicked in.

By tomorrow those flights will be over a grand probably.

Pegasus announced flights today for cheaper pricing and they will be making money

That's airline economics for you. It's a lot cheaper for an established airline like Pegasus to fly into it's Hub airport (SAW), than it is for a charter flight to fly into Istanbul on the day of the champions league final with 3 weeks notice.
