Did you hear a whooshing sound when you posted that? Went right over my f*cking head ;-)Only if his name was Charlie!
Thank you for clarifying.
After the ticket office closes obviously!The club didn't release porto info until past 5pm on the Friday 2 years ago so probably in for a couple hours wait still
Yes. Never a bad idea if you work at the ticket office to release big ticket news at 4:59pm on a Friday.After the ticket office closes obviously!
Maybe next year you won't have to worry about the date of your anniversary?Unfortunately, the final falls on the same day as my wedding anniversary and I missed our anniversary last year so I've had to make a really tough decision. I'll see you all in Istanbul.
Wife is 40 on the 9th june(hopefully i'll be on a plane to Istanbul by then :-)) and its our wedding anniversary on the 4th the day after the FA cup final..i'm not in her good books :-(Unfortunately, the final falls on the same day as my wedding anniversary and I missed our anniversary last year so I've had to make a really tough decision.

There are limited planes available. Airbus orders are delayed. As are Boeing. Flying is back up to about 94% of pre COVID capacity. Ticket costs are driven by aircraft availability which is scarce. Lessors therefore charge a premium which is reflected in the price to passengers. It would not have made a blind bit of difference to the prices passengers paid if the club secured planes yesterday, last week or last year evenThat's not subsidised though, that's only subsidised if they secured the planes today. Last week you could book travel for comfortably less than half that price. City would have, or should have secured planes well in advance of then for whatever the price was at the time before demand had an impact. if we were able to buy a single plane ticket last week for a few hundred, city should have secured entire planes for that price if not less, there's no reason why their costs should be reflective of current price hikes. The only possible reasons for city charging as much or similar to the current prices are they've had a monumental cock up securing planes in which case they really should be eating the cost themselves or they've decided to cash in on the demand themselves and charge closer to the current going rate.
