How Much Is Istanbul Costing You?

[JASR]

For all those going, it’s clearly a potentially horrendous price for flights, accommodation and eating/drinking.

But surely you can take solace in the fact that you just need to turn up at the stadium on the night, with one of the many options available to you.
1. Nick someone’s tickets
2. Turn up early with copied tickets
3. Turn up in UEFA gear
4. Rush the gates
5. Jib in over the fencing
6. Just wear a red t-shirt

These ‘6 times’ reasons are a guarantee of attendance, honed over the decades by the worlds most knowledgeable and dignified football fans. It would surely be a privilege and an aspirational endeavour to follow one of these hallowed routes.
Alternatively Pep just needs to make a statement along the lines of ‘just go, even without a ticket’, and everything will be fine and dandy.

A kidney, the man has insisted its removed before the final but the surgeon thinks I will recover in time.

Worth it though.

I lost a kidney and you won't be fit by then!!!! lol

Just booked flights from gatwick with change in antalya Friday night get there Saturday morning, come back Sunday night/mon morning £270 just need to secure somewhere to stay for the Saturday night and travel to and from gatwick. It can still be done for something approaching reasonable if you're willing to do the travelling.

Fair play and huge respect to those going through the ball ache,and massive expense,to get themselves out there.

Just can't justify it. Plus we're a group of around 10 and I can't just go and leave people behind here. It'll be a huge party with absolutely everybody here. Rather as many enjoy it as possible than 3 of us going and my daughter sat at home. She's the one I want to be with if/when we finally lift that trophy. Will make it to Wembley next year of we get there.

Would it not be cheaper to hire a plane & pilot & get 300 bluemooners to travel together on one flight. I mean the match day thread is such a loving conducive place, what could possibly go wrong?

It'll be around £1,000 provided the tickets are no more than Category 3. I booked flights from Luton after the quarter final result. Some of the prices for the travel options are outrageous now so it was worth the gambled, provided that I get a ticket!

£900 for two return flights plus £220 for two nights. No tickets yet.
