Champions League Final | Istanbul or could it be moved?

[Dunne's own goal]

Guys, i am recieving emails about transportation. THIS IS THE MOST PROBLEMATIC ISSUE.

1- No uber in istanbul. Taxis are our biggest problem in İstanbul.
2- Taxis are the biggest cheaters in the world. There are very few taxis, and they will try to charge you alot. They also dont get people for short-middle distances. Dont use taxis; if you use be very careful.
3- That's why i am telling you that; book hotels close to metro stations.
4- On the matchday, only good way to go to stadium and come back is METRO. Stadium is out of the city and taxis probably would not go there; because of traffic etc.
Be careful
cheers

I’m trying to figure out the tube map. From Aksaray it is three different tubes to get to the stadium, no?

Are you sure it's in Lira? Under select currency it says Euro.

The price for the following week is over 400 Euro per nights, so I doubt that weekend with the CL final is only £95. I hope you're right but if it's non-cancellable, best to be sure.

You win the prize [emoji16]

My post was actually a bit sarcastic with the Turkish guy recommending the CONRAD HILTON AT 2 GRAND A NIGHT [emoji23] (must think City fans are all supported by our owner).

I actually didn’t book it. But thanks for caring and looking out for a Blue !

yes, first you should take the tram from Aksaray. I think 1 stop away from Yenikapı METRO station (Main Station). Then you will take metro. Probably then you ll make 1 more transfer. it is easy, dont worry

Hopefully not - don't want the players flaking out half way through the match when they are not used to it.

Kick off is 10pm local time

There was a taxi app in Istanbul when I was there.

Fuck it, booked to fly from Birmingham on the Thursday, arriving at 23:10. Flying back home on the Monday at 07:30, landing at Edinburgh for 10am. Train back to Manchester arrives at 15:00 on Monday - hoping if there's a parade, it'll be the Monday rather than Sunday.

Does anyone know if the tickets will be named / checked at the ground if passport matches with the name ? Or not

Cannot believe my luck. Sister's application was successful and have just bought two ticket in the Cat 3 range. ISTANBUL HERE WE COME!!!!

if you check from google, you may see that ''there is uber''. bu there is not. they made a different, shitty system. so no uber, i can say.

This will probably be the only time I ever visit turkey so I don't want to be coming back home with Turkish lira that I'll just chuck away. Is cash necessary for anything there e.g. Transport or can you pay for everything on card?

banking system is perfect in Turkey. You may use your credit card everwhere. For transportation, you should buy a Istanbulcard. for metro, boat etc.
check this site, i think it will be useful

If a bureau de change sells you Lira then they’ll buy it back.

That's their problem, they don't know yet, what City's intentions are at the moment.
And there is another airline who might be running something

Applications for Champions League Final tickets opened on 21 April and closed on the 28th. You could either select apply regardless who goes through, or apply if your team gets through. My sister chose the latter option and found out she was successful today.

Just to be clear he is talking about the UEFA ballot. Information from City is expected tomorrow.

If you are happy to pay the E490sh tickets you will be fine but half a chance of the 180s too

Erdogan has won the election - does that mean riots or no riots?

It’s good news for the Champions League final but bad news for Turkey and the region.
