Champions League Final | Useful Information

Any blues going to Antalya after final? I'm off there on the Sunday for 4 nights hopefully celebrating.

Oh and do they have Uber over there?

I’ve got to get back to Ist airport for a 6.15 flight.

It’s alright mate, like many on here leave on 80 minutes. You’ll be fine.

Do you still have to pay £10 to enter into Turkey

 

[JGL07]

Have
Have you got a ticket yet?
Think free travel will only be given to people who have a ticket

I downloaded my travel pass and it stated that it covered two people. I did get two tickets: one for me and one for my son.

I’ve got to get back to Ist airport for a 6.15 flight.

Best hope for result in 90 minutes rather than ET and pens.
Our flight is 0740 and I'm also panicking.

I’ve decided to stay in Fatih for a couple of reasons.

You're the one for me Fatih!

Thought people were taking the piss when they said this was a thing. Apparently they stopped it a few years ago.

Twelve of us are staying in that area, Sultanahmet where all the main attractions are.

Ten of us staying here too.

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?

All the play-offs and the Europa League have gone to pens, bar the SW game with a 123rd minute only goal.

4/5 so far with none in normal time. £3 that City lose both on pens pays out £1k.

That insurance bet could almost pay for the trip. But betting on city to lose is immoral and fattening.

08:55 for me and our kid. Let’s be honest we’ll still be tayters deep at the brass house celebrating!

There’s no chance of them closing the gates before the game starts. They’ll tell you all sorts but they can’t sell you a ticket for all that cash, have you travel thousands of miles and then lock you out. Did you see the terrible publicity they got last year?

Surely you’ve got loads of time there if you go straight from the stadium? Glad to hear you’ll be there mate.

 

[goatinho]

so can you take plugs into the ground? im going to need a uk plug for when i get back and a european plug for when im there and im going straight to the airport from the ground!

We are going straight back to SAW. My worry is the scramble for the shuttle bus, I’m in a wheelchair remember. Hopefully my concerns are not realised and it will be fine. It’s about 2 hrs to SAW, so even extra time & pens would mean exit Stadium around 1:15.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was suddenly reintroduced for a weekend. Nice little earner.

I’ve been worrying about the transport back after the game too and although people are making the right noises I suspect it will involve a fair bit of waiting around. There are a lot of buses needed and it will take them a long time to do a lap. You’ve got a lot of slack in there though so you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t even be surprised if flights were delayed in the worst case scenario if half their passengers weren’t there.
