Long weekend in Istanbul at end of May - Turkey on Govt Red List

[John Wayne]

Yes people will buy them just to make a killing even though they have no intention of going

I can see the club trying to counter this somehow. UEFA's Europa League tickets are being sent to their app on a phone, for instance.

Don't know if I should cancel my flight or not and wait for club arrangements? Could flying independently not be doable?

Only have half an hour to cancel free of charge. £210

You make a good point but surely we’ll sell out our allocation given that it’s our first ever CL final? Regardless of the restrictions. Can’t see this going to general sale personally.

There is so much fear over Covid, that will put an awful lot of people off.
that and the 10 day quarantine when you get back.
not a lot of people can accommodate that.
plus £200 of tests.

I think like another poster said the tickets will likely sell out very quickly and people will resell for profit.

You are right though that a lot of people will be put off

Hopefully they will. Although I’m sure people will try to find workarounds even if they do

I am planning on flying direct to Istanbul, then to Manchester (hopefully take the grandkids to the parade) and then fly back to Tampa or Orlando on the Tuesday.
How would anyone at the airport know if I had not quarrentined for 10 days?

If it's anything like Wembley, you will have to present your ticket with your name on it and match that to some ID and a negative test in your own name.

Can't see how a resale market can function in those conditions. Genuinely not sure there will be a demand for it if we're getting 4k tickets.

They'll see from your passport that you entered the country on day X and then you're trying to leave on day Y. Not sure whether they'll do anything about it but I think they certainly could.

There is a chance Turkey could go on the green list if they get their daily cases to average 14k or below. It was 26.5k today but lockdown impact won't be visible yet.

I have a UK passport so it doesnt get stamped
