Any news on shuttle after the game back to taksim square?

I know there is a shuttle back to yenikapi but ideally don't want to be getting a metro from there to taksim on my own and end up going the wrong way.

You will not be on your own

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

Compulsory not obligatory - before you travel watch midnight express !

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.

Doesn't it say original ID would have thought driving licence would do.

Wouldn’t a photo driving license suffice?

I’m sure I read passport preferred ie not compulsory

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

We arrive on the morning and I read there were free shuttle buses from saw to centre or straight to ground, didn’t have any further details though, think we will just wing it on the day. Arrive 10am so plenty of time

Probably too early to head straight to the stadium

I’m aiming to get to the stadium for about 6pm. Spend a couple of hours in the fan zone. Not sure what time I need to catch the shuttle bus. Dont know what traffic to the stadium will be like at that time, or what the queue to catch the shuttle bus will be like. An hour for the journey should be enough?

shuttle bus (HAVABUS) every half hour, but it takes a little while to get into the centre, 90 mins? 50/60 lira.

public bus. 10 lira, takes a long time

taxi, private car, shared shuttle etc. Maybe see if you can find a few blues and jump in a taxi? think i read 250-300 lira but could be anything i guess.

you won't be on your own mate, loads staying in taksim area

This

I'm seriously thinking of winging it and not bringing my passport to the stadium - surely they're not going to check 70,000+ people for id? Either that or I drink round Taksim on the day, then nip to my digs and pick it up before jumping the Metro to Yenikapi

Read somewhere that you can’t get vapes in Turkey, is this correct?
