Maybe @CarlosTevez'sEnglishTutor can confirm but I was under the impression you would collect from a ticket machine at the airport. Bit like picking up pre ordered tickets at the cinema

Yes that is the best way. The airport one is one of the more expensive tickets, about 9 euros one way, or there is a bus option for about a fiver.

I get the attraction of having the 3 day pass as it saves you sorting tickets each time, but a single journey is something like €1,20 and valid all over the city for 90 mins. Ticket machines should be available if kiosks aren't manned.

What is the area Paleo Faliro like? Also how far is it from the airport & what would we be looking at in a taxi/uber? Cheers in advance

Anyone know if TNT (can’t get over the daft name) are streaming the game on YouTube like BT sports did with European finals?

It'll be on BT/TNT and, I think, on the you tube channel (usually is).

Should be, UEFA rule the host broadcaster has to stream the finals free online. BT certainly wouldn't left to their own devices

It's okay, working class area near the stadium. Head to the marina areas near there to socialise, or Monistiraki in the centre of Athens.

I'd say avoid taxis and Ubers from the airport, it's a good 40 minute drive without traffic. Taxis aren't cheap at all in Athens and they'll be out to fleece tourists too. If you have your heart set on a taxi, pre-book one on booking.com, this will lock in the price now. Use cash option on any Ubers so you agree the price beforehand and have to hand over physical cash.

We used to live across the road from them in Barnsley.

Mr Ufa was a fat slippery fecker but his wife was fit !!

They were full, booked up by the UEFA family.

Just tried to join via their app, but it just gives you a qr code which you have to show to the card issuer (?) As I arrive after midnight I'm not hopeful of any issuer being available. Am I being a bit backward or is this correct. Doesn't seem very modern in that its all on your phone but you have to go to an office to get a physical card.
