Willtaylor said:
Set up a ticket app account for my dad but when trying to access the app it won't allow me as its sending a registration confirmation code the email which isn't coming through. Does anyone have any advice?

Check the email address.
Could be a random one if you used Apple device.
That is the email you will have to use to access the App although the registration code will still go to your regular email address.

I was given a load of numbers followed by
privatelyapplied.com

Check it in the app,

Aren’t we all behind the running track? ;)

Agreed that’s not a bad view though (all relative of course). Think the dugouts etc are on the other side in front of the West stand, so corners of the East stand might actually be the closest seats to the pitch too.

The way that stadiums with a running track are set up, the seats behind the goal tend to be quite a bit further from the pitch than those along the touchlines with the view from the corners falling somewhere between the two extremes. More space is required to accommodate the bends than the straights.
The track is a lot less noticeable when you’re watching a game from the posh seats than if you’re in the cheap ones.
 
I'm in 328 that's the same as my season ticket at the Etihad.
Here I'm behind the goal. Are binoculars allowed into the stadium?
 
Just got the Sportsworld flight itinerary for the one day flight, it states please leave after the final whistle, are they allowing for extra time and penalties, and it will mean we don't get to see the presentation ]

In the 2005 final the first 10 rows or so behind the goals were covered up. I expect because you couldn't see past the halfway line from down there. Doesn't seem to be the same for this final.

Looks like it which is pretty annoying - especially as they say they close the check-in 1hr prior. I'm hoping there's a fast-track to the shuttle buses for those on the 3.30am and 4am flights back but of course there might not be that many going that way at that time anyway, I think the majority of the crowd will be heading back into the city centre to the bars and their hotels. That said, I'm unsure if the buses are all going into Yenikapi and then onto the airport, which would be a bit stupid, but it's UEFA we're talking about here. Guess we'll find out on the day.

I ain't missing the trophy lift if we win, that's for certain.

It’s possible that in 2005, the stadium was still set up for its original purpose - Istanbul’s failed bid for the 2008 Olympics. It may have been modified since then to improve the sight lines for football.
But I’m just guessing.
 
I may have the worst one so far. 902 on the third tier, row 86 (€180). Granted we did get them through the UEFA ballot. Happy to just be in the stadium tbh. I did read on the article below that in 2005 you could walk freely between the tiers but I reckon its all changed since then.

Some more info has been added onto the UEFA website for us on the day trip ...

After the final whistle​

Head back towards the Fan Zone to access the shuttle buses and coaches heading to your desired location, either one of the airports or Yenikapi Metro Station!

Supporters on charter flights

If your charter flight is scheduled to depart right after the match, please confirm with your tour operator that a coach from the stadium to the airport has been booked for you. If this is the case, your coach will pick you up at P25, located by the Fan Zone.

It does look like there may be priority to get back to the charter flights. It's a 40min journey so we should have plenty of time even if it goes to penalties.

Also note this, as we land at 12:35 there's no point rushing to get on one before 1pm (unlikely anyway) ...

Check your flight times:

• If you arrive BEFORE 13:00, the shuttles will drop you off at the Man City Transport Hub in Yenikapi, so you can use the time to explore the UEFA Champions Festival or Istanbul. From 13:00, please hop on the shuttle bus to the Fan Zone from here.

• If you arrive AFTER 13:00, the shuttles will go straight to the Man City Fan Zone at the stadium so you can join the pre-match celebrations.

and

Have your return boarding pass ready before you touch down in Istanbul. This will significantly speed up the departure process after the match.

Has anyone else not had ticket email yet? Checked inbox and junk folder and not there.

I had the same issue up to 2pm today. Contacted the UEFA support desk who told me the tickets had been issued and were on the app. I checked again and still couldn’t see them. In the end I deleted the uefa app, loaded it again from App Store, put in my email and clicked the button asking them to resend the registration code. Worked straight away. Might be worth a try
