What about late, pissed up, and with a fake ticket? Is it water cannon time?

 

[Wayno2110]

Ie a scouser!??

 

[Delafield Blue]

on matchday yes.

Not just on matchday, it's valid from 4am on Friday till noon on Sunday apparently. I assume both airports are part of Istanbul metropolitan area

Thinking of getting a sim over there from Turkcell. They've got shops all over, one in Taksim. Anyone got any advi

--------------------WARNING---------------
i ve just checked if my contactless credit/debit card workng in metro. IT IS NOT WORKING. altough it is announced that we may use them starting from 2023.

so, you have to buy ISTANBULCARD for transportation.

I also talked with the guy working there. Credit cards are not working in machines which you can buy ISTANBULCARD. So you have to put some Turkish lira to the machines to buy your istanbulcards.

He also told me that, istanbulcard application for mobile phones is not suitable for tourists. it uses mobile phone numbers, so it is problematic. dont use that app.

cheers.

Get a Monza, I downloaded the app yesterday, set up account, you get a e card to load to your wallet immediately, you can add money straight away. The hard copy arrives within 2 working days, then you can activate it.

Yes mate you're right, my heads battered with all this information I'm losing track of days

So is it better to stay in Taksim or near instanbul city centre closer to where the buses are leaving from?

What are the rules around medication in Turkey and bringing it with you. I’ve never been to Turkey. Prescribed obviously :-)

Stay anywhere on the M2 line for easy access to Taskim and Yenikapi coach park

Lebara say you need to top up as ‘pay & go’… then change settings. This is what they sent me… for iPhone

Just change the APN SETTING as below Select "Settings"
Select "Mobile Data" and "Mobile Data Network"
Scroll to "MOBILE DATA"
Select "APN" and
enter APN : uk.lebara.mobi
username : wap
password: wap
enter the same APN under LTE & PERSONAL HOTSPOT as well
Swipe up to return to the main screen
Your phone has been configured
and just restart the phone.

Sorry to be a pain bud but ive got a lebara monthly contract on android. Is this a detour so you can use it as a PAYG sim whilst there and then revert back?

Is it worth staying near this Yenikapi place would you say? That many hotels I haven’t got a clue where to start. Anyone found a decent one for less than £200 a night?

I can't say it is decent but Zagreb Hotel is only 110 a night and it is 4* with an indoor/outdoor pool (booked with loveholidays) and 15 mins walk from the bus terminal

 

[edinburgh123]

Agree and its a big worry.
Why Istanbul and why 10pm kick off in a stadium miles from town?
Makes zero sense.

You seem to think this is relevant? If you are Uefa and you have succumbed to a nice juicy bribe and are holed up in a lover 5* deluxe hotel I am sure these inconveniences are not that big a deal....

 

[edinburgh123]

Yes, I was just reading through UEFA info and think this is correct on both counts; closes at 8, stops selling beer at 8. 15 min walk to seat and then 1 hour 45 mins of pre-match ‘waiting’ in a stadium, with no beer [emoji15]

apart from Uefa deligates who meander to their seat with 10 mins to go and can't understand what all the fuss is about.....

All on expenses, hotel, match, brass, kebab the fuckin lot. These organisations are bent as a fuckin nine bob note and don't give a shiny shite about your average working bloke but twas ever thus, as a species we've settled on capitalism and us mugs will suck it up!
