Champions League Final | Useful Information

If you have the champions league app on your phone, you can now get access to the fan pass. On here it shows a map with various locations on it, not everything is on it yet but regarding bus transfer locations it is showing that Inter buses will be located in the Besiktas area, and us at the official fan park though it does not state City where it does for Inter, so could be another location added for us at later date.
 
UEFA want fans to arrive at fan zones at 1 pm because the traffic is terrible and public transport is unreliable. We asked the FSE to ensure UEFA understand this is very unlikely to happen. UEFA will provide reasonably priced food and beer at fan zones. Shuttle buses are frequent and accessible (for elderly/disabled fans - vans to transport fans from drop-off to fan zones if necessary). The fan zones will close 2 hours before kick-off.

Taksim and Besiktas are Inter Milan travel hubs. Yenikapi is the City travel hub. The respective hubs will drop fans on the appropriate side of the stadium. We know many City fans are staying around Taksim, so we have asked if our fans can use the 'Inter' travel hubs. Waiting for confirmation. There will be shuttle buses after the game for at least 2 hours. There will be free public transport for ticket holders for 36 hours starting at 00:01 on 10/06/2023.

There will be a bag deposit area. Tickets will have to be activated to work and you need to have Bluetooth on for the ticket to work. Charging banks smaller than a phone 'should' be permitted within the stadium. There will be two body searches on entering the ground. Organisers have requested English-speaking police to work the game. E-Cigs and Cigarettes are not permitted in the stadium. 1894 has asked if passports will be required to enter the stadium (FSE to confirm). The word ultra is strictly forbidden - any flags/clothing with the word will not be permitted in the stadium and could get you into trouble with the police.

The FSE will provide 1894 with a Turkish 'legal framework' document with FAQs which fans should read in case they get into trouble. City fans should check coverage to ensure they don't get a big bill for mobile data usage. You need a passport number to access the internet (including wifi).

1894 will be in contact with FSE on the day of the game. They can escalate issues directly to UEFA.

I travel all over the world with work and recommend an e-sim for those that can't be bothered getting a separate new sim. Works very well and although I've never tried it in Turkey I have no doubt it will be just as good.

I bought an eSim from Holafly the other day. 5 days unlimited data. Never used one before. Checked that my phone was compatible and unlocked which it is. When you activate it, does it just override the Sim that’s in your phone? Mine’s a work phone and I don’t want to cock it up and get hammered with unexpected charges

Once installed, it then gives you an option in settings to select the eSim instead of your normal network sim.

Is there any info on where to hold a bag at the stadium to collect after the match in order to get to SAW for the morning? If not will have to travel light for a couple of days and have a suqaddy wash. Cheers

I'm just doing an internal flight and seen you can take an A4 sized bag into the stadium. I've just ordered one of those off ebay. I know that's very small but can fit a few essentials in. Powerbank, passport, toothbrush and some smellies etc.

Never thought I'd own a fucking man bag....... sigh. Haha.

Hilarious. Almost like UEFA have read online to see where the majority of City fans have booked and done this to inconvenience the majority!

The Italians will also be staying and congregating in this area, it's the main hub of the city.

The difference is, none of them will be pissed and 90% of our lads will be. So much easier to bus pissed fans directly to the ground on shuttle buses, the journey will also take a bit longer this way to sober people up. Factor in that Italians are used to using Metro systems and most Brits aren't. These variables will have definitely come into play in UEFA's decision making.

I hate the cunts and agree with you, it makes it more difficult for us, but it'll just be a case of getting down to Yenikapi early enough in the day. I'm sure there will be plenty of watering holes there or in nearby Sultanahmet that people can use before getting the bus.

They're going to be really unpleasant if there's no toilet on them. Hour and a half with loads of people with full bladders.
 
I strongly advise people don't get pissed on match day. Heat... Midnight Express.....bus ride...and the team needs us rather than the Porto debacle where the crowd and the team were knackered.
 
So it’s 24 mins from Taksim to Yenikapi

I was hoping to stay in the centre for a bit to have some drinks before heading over.

All the advice now seems to be to head over to the stadium as soon as possible.

Not get hammered is the point, a few beers is no big deal.

I’m on three & had a look last week.. apparently Turkey isn’t in their ‘Go Roam’ destinations so can’t buy the daily pass for a fiver which I have used in the likes of portugal/Spain in the past.

You would just get billed per text/mb of data you use which would rack up to be extortionate.

Think I’m going to buy an eSim that someone on here has dropped a link for
