Champions League Final | Useful Information

Well I, for one, will be getting the metro. Buses are grim at the best of times and I don’t trust UEFA to run them without it being a pain ie taking hours and keeping you penned in to certain areas. I was in Napoli for the England games and people were on buses for hours driving around on the advice of the police. I prefer the freedom.

Napoli is a different kettle of fish mate.

I caught the Metro down and it wasn't safe. I couldn't find the away end, because you couldn't get to it. I asked a copper and was surrounded by a dozen root police and taken insudevthe ground, then to the police station. In the end Ibwas escorted with a few other blues on a minibus in an armed convoy, motor cycle outriders to the away end.

All that security there is necessary.

Do you still have to take a tenner in your passport to get into Turkey? Remember having to do it years ago.

And don’t go for a kiss before customs, they hang around in toilets begging , don’t you know, and that’s the airport staff

Don’t know about you, but I have a rule of not kissing anything in a toilet !

If anyone wants to avoid paying transaction fees for using their card abroad try setting up an account with Starling Bank.

Me and the Mrs set up a joint account for holiday spends a few years back.

Dead easy to pay contactless using your phone or watch. Also you can use their bank card to withdraw cash abroad with no charges.

Now, can someone sort me out with a ticket in exchange for this info ?!!!

If uefa want us to use the shuttle buses,will they not need a couple of hundred buses to take 20000 blues back to yenikapi

This is the coach terminal at Yenkapi which looks hopeful

Click more, bottom right corner, click event companion, click fan pass, and it should be at the top of your benefits.

Nope - nothing. I used the same e-mail address as my UEFA tickets account and City account too. It states if you have a ticket then you should get the free transport but when I log in to my UEFA tickets app it says there are no tickets associated with that E-mail address even though I bought one on Friday at 2 minutes past three!

Edit: Just checked and it states that the no tickets associated message is normal as they haven’t allocated them yet but it doesn’t change the issue I have with the fan pass

Yeah makes sense but have they said don't use the metro?
