Will a photocopy of my passport do? I don’t fancy carrying the original around with me on match day

Iv done a hell of a lot of travelling alone in my youth and always had a moneybelt around my waist,I
still wear one my mam made me when I go abroad, it'll be coming with me this week for my passport.

Anyone’s flying to saw and sussed out transportation to Istanbul centre

This is my concern too, though the email specifically states ''original'' copy of passport is required at the stadium.
Can't imagine them checking tens of thousands of passports, but equally don't wanna get caught out by some jobsworth.

Bit of a dilemma.

Very annoying. It does say ID first, but then lower down it says Passport.

Will a taxi from Taksim square about 8pm be enough time ?

MINIMUM 90 mins to get to and IN ground, but could be longer !

They love English tenners as well apparently

I’m a bit more of a baritone but I’ll give it a go

Yeah it’s just me. No worries if you’ve got transfers. Arriving on Friday at the time we do, I’m thinking the traffic could be bad with commuters, just not sure I can be arsed with a 90 minute transfer on 3 trains which seems to be the other option. I’m staying in Sisli

Transfer was 50 euro each way so didn’t seem worth it so we’re not sure what best to do. Like you say traffic could be mental at that time.

We are staying in Beyoglu though…tempted by the Havabus given traffic is rubbish anyway so why pay more to wait in traffic, think the bus stops at Sisli too?

this makes it sounds like you just need an ID of some sort and it's more for local police to check if they ask vs a UEFA thing

also some good info if you get arrested

Also does anyone sort of pick up that these UEFA buses will be faster and have lanes blocked off just for running people to the stadium? They make it sound like they would be faster than a taxi and that seems like the only logical way.
