Champions League Final | Ticket Criteria | SOLD OUT

Think I have got away with this!
GLW: A thousand pound!
Me: Well yes but, I didn’t have to pay for Porto last time.
GLW: True.

I never said another word and now she’s gone out shopping and I will watch some shite Julia Roberts/ George Clooney flick later with her.
Mines not speaking to me, fa cup final then a week later Turkey, face on it like a wet weekend, I wouldn’t mind it’s not cost her a penny, I’m retired and that’s what it’s for, I leave her alone for 5 days she can chill out. Miserable cow.
 
Havabus runs from Taksim to SAW. First one is around 4am, going every 30 minutes. You could use the BiTaksi app and probably get there for circa 700TL. I dont think there is any metro/train out to Sabiha Gokçen iirc.

Forgot to add, I'm sure that UEFA and the Turkish organisers will be putting on free shuttle buses to both airports and back to Taksim.
There’s a metro out to SAW airport now

 
I’m not working at present and the start date of my new job ensures I definitely can’t go; but I think if I could do Istanbul for £1000 with or without a ticket then I would find the money.
 
Yes but haven’t booked yet. Can’t decide how to do it. Maybe with spike. I’m taking my lads and maybe my dad so it needs to be low hassle.
Exactly same for me. Taking my lad so the (admittedly huge)!additional cost of going with the club/,Spike is worth paying knowing transfers etc sorted. I’ve also a very strong feeling that certain flights due to land in Istanbul on the day of the match might not make it. I’ve no proof just a hunch. There will be a lot of private jets landing, FIFA /UEFA delegates etc and I have pictures of fans being told their flight ain’t happening. Going with the club takes away some of that uncertainty.
I’ve had to take a bank loan out for this but it’s a rare event and, hopefully, will be worth every pfennig.

Working now ...... phew !
 
It will be exactly as I said. I suspect you and your demographic may be in the 18-30 or older guys with money and zero commitments. There will be very few family groups as it's a small mortgage for a family of 4 and it's exam/term time. Older SC members, who've always had it all provided will suddenly think WTF. In fact the whole process to apply is already confusing many. Add to that the price, a cost of living crisis, and the distance involved and the take up in those groups I've highlighted will be low. What you have to remember is you, Bluemoon and your City supporting friends are a rather unrepresentative microcosm and I don't deny most of that group will go, but the reality is that many will simply not be able to overcome the financial or logistical challenges.
18-30, I wish. My daughter only has two years left in that group!!! I standby my comments, demand will be huge. Just reading this thread and there appears to be loads in the 40-60 group going (I’m in it).
Anyway, each to their own, it’s going to be a belter of a trip and I can’t wait. I also know I’m lucky to be able to go, cost of living crisis has affected everyone but by hook or by crook I was going to make sure I got there. My perspective on life has changed a lot over the last 12 months, losing two close friends, both big City fans, means I’m living for today…. Even if it means I might be skint for a while after.
For blues that are able to go, it’s going to be one hell of an adventure and for those that can’t, I’m sure you’ll have a great time wherever you are watching. CTID
