That happened to me as I was coming down the steps . There was an unaccompanied cardboard box full of cartons of water.Agreed but as Turkey isn’t in euro why the fuck should we pay in euro. Some scammers walking up and down aisles with UEFA ID which was obviously faked trying sell small cartons of water for 100tl. Robbing cunts which is what I told one. Heard of these people paying stewards to get into fan zone etc to sell overpriced shit.
I'd like to utter a tut or two but I used them all up on the shuttle bus last night.Tarnished a simple day. Utter farce. I shall be very British, tut and then write a letter of complaint...
I posted same on another thread but think about it €2.50 for 250ml of water. That's TEN EURO A LITRE!That happened to me as I was coming down the steps . There was an unaccompanied cardboard box full of cartons of water.
I leant over to get one and this guy pops out of nowhere shouting and gesturing. He then demanded 100 tfl . I fucked him off in no uncertain terms . I threatened to kick him in the face the scruffy twat .
He disappeared quicker than a Liverpool fan at the job centre.

The street sellers were a god send to me. 20 lira for a bottle of water (fair price) instead of 200 lira for a tiny cup (half the size) in the ground. No issue for me them.Was an utter shambles - the match going fan treated with utter contempt once again!
Our bus from the fanzone went the wrong way twice - then we hit traffic 2 miles from the ground because of absolute gridlock of locating the stadium in such a remote location and it was clear it would be quicker to walk then wait of a steaming hot bus…2 mile walk on the main roads with no footpath
After the game no directions, signs or stewards - we trekked to the coach park to see utter chaos - no idea where to go no organisation and zero movement. Fucked that off and then trekked to the metro only to find it was shut at 2am but the train station was open - again zero signs and zero stewards to ask/help
I felt lucky as i seriously considered taking my old man who would never have made any of the walks so I felt sorry for anyone who had accessibility issues as it would have been an utter nightmare- football for everyone my arse
To consider what uefa were charging for those tickets they should be utterly ashamed of themselves - no better than the street sellers around the ground trying to profit from the fans willing to travel to see their team
Fuck me your doing well if you were in the titanic - respectThese coaches reminded me of the titanic. Some buses people were packed together like sardines and others there was enough room for people to lie down.
Granted the buses after the game were shit. Roads in the surrounding area should have been closed to allow all traffic exiting the stadium to flow. And why anyone thought it was a great idea to have all buses, coaches and taxis having to exit on that road is anyones guess. Add into that all the posh fuckers in there tinted window private taxis getting ushered through and it was absolute chaos.Signage on the Metro for the Stadium was pretty piss poor. Took us 3 hours to find it and the station near the stadium had people being kettled into a space in some railings no wider than a standard door which left people stampeding in a tight confined area.
Buses on the way back were an absolute joke, this stadium is in the middle of no where and doesn’t have the infrastructure to support the capacity it holds. What possessed Uefa to hold it in Istanbul?
