Apparently there are usually vendors selling beer outside the stadium. I don’t know if they’ll be allowed to do that next week.
 
Where are people getting their Lira from? Annoyingly the minimum Lira I can find online is 150 GBP. I only want some cash for street vendors etc., who may not take card.

Is it worth taking out of an ATM once over there?

I went to the local Post Office yesterday, they had it in stock.

Can anyone confirm. Thanks.

We have to be inside the ground 2 hours before kick off? And the stadium gates will be closed at a certain time before the start of the match? May have read it, but I can’t remember exactly. Thanks.

Getting there on Thursday, so going to try and do a dry run to the ground on Friday with a few beers in a bag, via the designated UEFA route for City fans. Will post an update if I do get around to doing it?

That'll be handy if you can get round to doing that mate. I do think it's wise to set off for the ground from the city centre a 4-5 hours before kick-off. No way am I intending on leaving anything to chance.

Uerochange in the Arndale. Entrance on High St. First right and on the right. Changed just £25 worth yesterday.
 
Thought id just pop this on here , for any others who may come across the same.
We had booked 3 nights with booking.com , yesterday the money was supposed to be taken . I woke up to a email saying booking would be cancelled if i didnt update my card , the same card i made another booking with 2 days earlier for somewhere else without a problem.
So i checked was no problem with the card , but i updated it just in case , i got confirmation card was updated.
Few minutes later i got a email saying the hotel had cancelled my booking.
After a few messages via chat on booking.com the owner sent me his whatsapp number .. he tried telling me booking.com was having problems and leave it with him and he will sort it out . We had booked 2 rooms for 3 nights for 364.50 euros , this morning he kindly got back to me but said the price is now 480 euros , i kindly told him to feck off and you cannot rip city fans off .
The hotel is called Hotel Pino Verde in taksim he now as the rooms on booking.com for 612 euros . talk about trying to cash in ? so watch your bookings in case there all at it . Weve rebooked and paid elsewhere .

I'm going to load Lira onto my Wise card, and do a mix of using that card for purchases over there and perhaps drawing some cash out of an ATM too. Think it will have to be an ATM associated to a proper bank to avoid copping any charges though.
