Champions League Final | Ticket Criteria | SOLD OUT

If I go I’m staying until Monday. I’m not fucking about and catching an early flight on Sunday morning. I want a night out in Istanbul after City win the CL.

Saying that, the match kicks off at 10pm. Add possible extra time, penalties, the trophy presentation, and a bus back, which takes up 40 minutes , meaning we won’t get back to central Istanbul until 1am in the morning, if not later. Even if the match ends in 90 minutes, it’s still going to be at least midnight. Shite!

Do they bollox.
Our OSC has over 200 members, many match day going fans for up to 50 years and more.
Next to no fans under 20, most in their 40’s to 70’s.
Our club have tonight applied for 60 tickets, after asking who was interested in applying, we’re unlikely to get them all we’re told.
7 applied for Brentford, we’re unlikely to get any.
No member is guaranteed a ticket for any game, we get an average of 6 tickets for an away game, when many more apply.
Members with high loyalty points have been advised to apply in their own right, as they’ve more chance of getting one, such is the uncertainty of being successful via the OSC.
So, 3 mates and I from the club have booked flights, applied for codes, and await the ticket sale criteria coming out. We’re on the cup scheme.
For Porto 2 years ago, when we had 8000 tickets, my mate and I were successful getting tickets in our own right, but we have a lot of loyalty points.
With 20000 tickets for Istanbul, 18000 season ticket holders on the cup scheme and a further 20000 or so season ticket holders, I still think it’ll go to Citizen members.
Cost is the issue.
Consider around 30% of our club are planning on going, maybe 30% of season ticket holders might be planning the same, could be more of course.
That’s 12000 ish, so those Citizen members hoping to go, may have a chance???

At best the match will finish just before midnight. If we win you won’t be leaving the stadium till at least 1. More like 2-3am by the time you get back to central Istanbul.

Tomorrow will most likely be taken up dealing with the OSC requests. So I don’t think we we’ll get any info until tomorrow night at earliest and more than likely Thursday :-(

They won’t have to spend a day arsing around with supporters clubs. That’s a nothing job and is being ridiculously hyped up on here. They’ll put them on sale when they’re ready. It does need to be quick, I agree with that, and I suspect they’ll announce tomorrow.

Supporters clubs been told to add names to the portal to purchase tickets and members previously told to apply for access code.
Will these people then not be sent an access code so they don't get 1 through the supporter club and one in the normal way through uefa or will they be able to get 2?

The suporters clubs are giving their tickets to those not on the cup scheme, so those on cup scheme will have to get their own tickets .
Won’t it be ironic if some low points osc members miss out or have to pay top whack due to they’re none cup scheme comrades getting In before them .
