Hi, been onto the UEFA website and can't see the 2023 Programme anywhere? Does anyone have a direct link?

Thanks

Any news on shuttle after the game back to taksim square?

I know there is a shuttle back to yenikapi but ideally don't want to be getting a metro from there to taksim on my own and end up going the wrong way.

I am in the same boat but looking at the metro map Yenikapi is the first stop and heads north to Taksim (about four stops) so you can't go the wrong way. Looks like a shuttle back to Yenikapi then either a taxi or metro at stupid o'clock

I doubt you’ll be on your own mate, there’s loads of us who will be heading back to Taksim Square.

Read somewhere that you can’t get vapes in Turkey, is this correct?

Yeah illegal to sell them but not illegal to use them so you'd have to stock up and take with you.

Pegasus / Pegasus Bol Bol -clearly states earliest on line check in is 72 hours before flight. has anyone successfully checked in on line before this 72 hour window. can't see how?

Pegasus is 24 hours. No need to sign up for all that BOL nonsense. Just check in as a non member from 24 hours onwards by using your reference number and surname on Pegasus App or Website.

Anyone with EE know what to do with regarding data? I’ll need it to get about Istanbul.

Not sure why uefa are getting stick for this.

They've sorted free public transport throughout the day of the game and through the night, extra metro services and shuttle buses to a major transport hub (Yenikapi).

It's 9 minutes on the metro from Yenikapi to Taksim.

If it doesn't work then they might be deserving of criticism but they have put in place a system that looks like it should work.

I'm struggling! Thought I could add on a roaming pass but I can't

Don’t want to be carrying my passport around Saturday taking my driving licence and a photocopy of my passport, hoping our liaison teams will be able to help out if there’s a problem

Travel Data Pass

With our new Travel Data Pass, you can get loads of data for a fixed rate each day. Only on EE.

ee.co.uk

Expensive for 500MB though. £7.84 per day.

If you want to cap your calls and texts it's another £7.84 per day for World Select Talk and Text otherwise be wary of 76p per text and £2.34 per minute.

I’ve heard WhatsApp is banned in turkey?

Also, my fan pass seems to have disappeared it says please wait a moment to load but never works, even after refreshing the app. Any advice?

don't think it is, I've always used it when on holiday, there are plenty of apps you can message on tbh though I do believe WhatsApp is okay

Strange that. I think cigs are only about £3 so not much encouragement to give up!

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

Both

are we in agreement the best/cheapest option for phones is to get an esim? With airalo being the cheapest and easiest option for esims?


The fanzone is outside the ground, the shuttle bus drop off points are labeled as fan hubs. Fanzone will serve alcohol, (very likely to be heineken only given they're sponsors) Fan hubs are purely a bus drop off point, uefa have said there will be nothing there

Cheers guys. My stupid understanding was that it was the one in the city and then I'd have to get on a shuttle bus for an hour and try my best to not need a piss. This works out much better.

Do we think that there will be big screens in taksim square, for the devoted who can’t get tickets?

Email from UEFA highlights official passport so it’s zip up pockets for me.

I’ve emailed the Turkish Foreign Affairs dept (can’t remember exact name) so will post here if I get a reply.
