Champions League Final | Useful Information

[Impeccable One]

I logged into Champions league app and my Fanpass was ready for downloading. I’ve bought three tickets so automatically says valid for 3 people.
All public transport free with the pass as well as shuttle buses.
Public transport free from 4.00am 10th June until noon 11th June.
Shuttle buses free on 9th and 10th June.

Hmmmm … says on app valid 9pm 9th until 5am 11th, but then underneath says as you say, 4am 10th until noon 11th ?

Interestingly that’s a 7 hour shift, guessing one of these is correct [emoji15] just which one ?

EDIT : Just seen someone elses screen shot and the 4am 10th until noon 11th is the same, but the shift on the times above is 2 hours. So I think the times are 4am 10th until noon 11th.

Just nipped in to the EE store in Leigh and asked about the best/cheapest way to use the phone in Turkey:
"It's not in the EU"
"Yeah, I know that"
"Two quid"
"Eh?"
"£7.84 for a travel pass"
"Ok"
"Maybe best not using your phone"
........ and then I left before I punched him!!

If your phone is dual sim, Holafly do a 5-day unlimited data eSIM for Turkey for £19. It doesn't effect your original SIM and you can you use whatsapp for calls/messages to avoid EE's fees.

Does it matter where you buy it from mate do you know? Like will it work the same if you purchase it in France or Ireland? I’ve no knowledge of these e sims

 

[custardpie]

thanks for that mate. i'm there for a week so would be £35 for the 7 days - not the end of the world i guess

$4.50 for 1GB of data for seven days on an eSim

 

[custardpie]

Out at 3am and then back straight after, obviously taking cards. How much cash would taking £100 worth of TL be enough?
I will be buying a programme so that's probably £20 there. Paid by card in Porto for it at the designated kiosks so I assume it will be the same here.

Buy your programme in advance off the UEFA website and have it delivered to your home

I hope everyone is getting travel / health insurance for next week.
pain in the arse but much cheaper if needed.

Yes it will be fine wherever you purchase from, there are drop downs on the site to change currency if needed

Have a look at Airalo.
I’d never used one before I went to Morocco in March.
There’s a guide on the website on how to use it. The main thing is to switch off your normal sim before you go.
Check your phone accepts eSims

How are people planning on getting back to taksim square after the match if the shuttle buses only go to yenikapi?

I think it's clear that best place to stay is Yenikapi/ Fatih

I suspect most who have booked Taksim will cancel and rebook

How does an esim work? Will my phone just know to use it for Data and not my regular sim?

 

[tomshaw21]

Could be the case for you but I bought my ticket under my name and used the same e-mail address for everything!

I'm still having the same issue as you. Slightly worried that when i log onto the Champions league app it says no tickets, yet email confirmation and invoice all been received and my order is all confirmed on the ticket portal (but not the ticket app).

thanks but that won't be anywhere near enough haha. on average i use around 70GB of data per month so would have to get an unlimited data package probably

I know they’ll probably all be bang on but anyone got any kebab/meat restaurant recommendations? Not looking for fancy, just proper authentic massive kebabs.

I thinks it's normal for the ticket app to say that before tickets have actually been allocated. Logging on to my UEFA account via desktop, I can see my ticket order there so should be the same for you. You have to navigate to the Champions League tab and your order should be showing.

 

[Bozzie]

Sorry for my foc ignorance but, having bought a ticket, do I now have to download the Uefa Champions League app and the ticketing app?

I think you’ll find very few will rebook. Taksim will have the biggest amount of blues there, regardless of fanzones or not. It also has the metro / airport transportation hub and loads of decent bars to choose from.

I won't be rebooking.
I have looked and it's an hour walk from yenikapi to taksim so worst comes to the worst can walk it.
I'll be on my own though so will hopefully be able to get a taxi or walk back with a load of others.

 

[Dunne's own goal]

I dunno what the fuss is all about. Taksim is only few miles away, it’s circa 10 mins on a metro to Yenikapi and taxi should be very cheap if late in the night you can’t be arsed with metro. Hardly the end of the world imo.


Edit: just checked from Uber app it shows it’s ~100 TRY = 4 pounds from yenikapi metro to Taksim square

suspect wrong. alot of accomadation is now non refundable and too late in the day to start rebooking
