Champions League Final | Istanbul or could it be moved?

Has anyone used Wizz Air before this? Their reviews are really bad!

Yeah mate, flown 5/6 times with them from London and never had any issues! Just need to approach them with the same mindset as Ryanair - they'll try and stuff you with extra charges for just about everything but if you read their rules and follow them you'll be fine.

Not sure about their refund policies though

If they did that they‘d have to compensate every person who has already booked.

You'd hope so but UEFA don't give a toss about travelling fans

 

[train man]

is it just me or is this a crappy looking stadium for a CL final,the only plus it has it holds 76k

Single tier ends but holds 76k, is that right?
Agree with another poster that the location looks very (ahem) 'challenging', especially with such a late finish - leaving the bulk of fans with little transport option back towards Istanbul and accommodation really is yet another uefa piss-take.

77,087 is the capacity, seems high from the pictures

Wow, well I guess each tier's capacity is higher as they are so fuckin far from the pitch that the footprint increases proportionately!

Rubbish stadium in a rubbish location.

Galatasarays ground looks really nice too.

 

[PDBLUEMOON]

Yep. Used them to get to Madrid last year, they were perfectly fine.

Used them before. No issues blue.

Of all the stadiums in Europe that could be used, it seems a very strange choice

 

[Didsbury Dave]

No roof = no atmosphere too.

Probably more to do with brown envelopes than the quality of the stadium
