Welcome to our beautiful city Istanbul for making history.
If you want to watch the game on-site and do not have any tickets yet, please do not hesitate to contact me via DM...
I have 2 tickets side by side.
Manchester is blue

TGTBT?

Think it's the bloke selling the match ball, too...


It cannot be. I've already got the match ball and the 2 tickets? Am due to meet the lucky lucky man when we land Friday afternoon . He's also promised me first dabs on a pair of guchi shades - and before you ask, yes, that is the way to spell gucci


Did he also include for you £1 each way direct flights on Ryanair (with limitless wee breaks for free) and upon arriving all you can eat doners whilst there.

You've bagged yourself a bargain if you did ;)


Yeap its true
Its on block 914 (2 tickets side by side)
And also on block 902, a single ticket

4 hours flight time to Istanbul from Manchester. Two hours time difference. If the plane left at 2pm they should be on the ground at around 8PM Turkish time.

The 4 hours flight time and the 2 hours time zone difference are not changeable. They trained before leaving for the airport. I doubt they’d arrive much earlier than about now.

It has been a long route, very enjoyable since the lads ,iirc , in Copenhagen started singing "Istanbul,Istanbul, we are coming". Staying in the same Hotel as City in Copenhagen, some of the lads got pictures of Elano etc. Great days indeed.

Too many things on the boil for me at the moment , although my mate had a ticket (now gone) for me back home.

To all going to Istanbul. It is a magnificent , very large City, enjoy the build up and the game .

It looks like we'll be visiting Wembley five times next season !

now that would be a quintuple i might just try to make.

Never in your lifetime Fergie eh ?

Be careful fellas, a lot of ticket merchants around with “tickets”. Most of them in Taksim
I noticed an Irish pub near Istiklal that had our badge and were a lot of blues there.

I hope everyone has a great time and loud as fuck in the stadium. The fans there need to be the 12th man.
