Istanbul travel and ticket information

[johnc]

A massive thanks to Dave Woodhall, I logged onto here around midnight after the game and saw the thread saying UEFA were selling prime tickets. Thought I’d take a look and managed to get two, over the moon as I think I’d struggle with our allocation.

For anyone else who has purchased through UEFA, have you downloaded the app and do the tickets or a record of the tickets show? I’ve got the email and the eye watering invoice but it hasn’t pulled through to the app although I’m guessing it might be a bit early.

I’m also flying from Heathrow on Tuesday at 22:40 and then back via Copenhagen on Thursday morning. Taking my 9 year old and he doesn’t know how good he’s got it.

Even more complicated I got  two tickets in March through UEFA. Work updated my phone in April and the UEFA app now says it is a different phone so I will have to go to stadium on the Wednesday morning with passport to get tickets sorted. I have emailed them and all seems in order. 11 more sleeps

12 of us with more money than sense could have a 'sky box' for €1290 each.

We’re looking at this. It says minimum 12, we’ve got 4 of us (possibly a 5th) up for it. If anyone would be looking to split then let me know 👍

£1290 per person?

[johnc]

€1290. Makes it a bit more palatable. About £1100

What’s a sky box?

[JJ-AV]

A box. Assume there’s food and drink, a lot of money but it’s legit.

Just imagine the consternation if they turned up in Istanbul and were handed this.

I am flying Turkish from Birmingham on Tuesday and of course the airport will have priority that day as the Royal Aston Villa will flyout.

What time do you get there?

23:35 however the fare I paid gives me an option to switch to their earlier fight on the day if there is availability.

Somehow I doubt that'll happen.

The same as the exec boxes at Villa but they have been Americanised in their naming.

The tickets aren't allocated yet; I presume they'll arrive via email early in the week. On the website there's an option to add someone else's reference and they'll try to sit you together. It's expensive but you've got a ticket so no more worries and I doubt Uefa wil scam us.

You’re not interested in adding anymore in are you? I think they’re 12-30 people…

Not sure where to post this but if we can’t get tickets we fancy watching it in Birmingham stay over in a proper Villa pub
Any suggestions appreciated

Not a proper Villa pub, but the Institute in Digbeth are putting it on a big screen.
