Ticket arrived from the guaranteed sale earlier.

Got no tracking mail - but then again I never have done from the club.

No mate

Was it by courier or Royal Mail?

You can buy a world sim and load it with a GB of data for £15.

If you change the country you are travelling to the Ukraine, 1GB costs £65:

You can pick up a ukranian vodafone PAYG sim over there with 2gb for under £2

Meant to be loads of places you can buy a sim from, loads of the little shops and kiosks have them.
I'm going to find one in the airport and do it straight away. Then just use whatsapp and whatsapp calls.

Just looking at jumping in a taxi from airport to City Centre

Apparently Uber have a set price of 270 UAH (about 7 quid)

Taxis booked from the airport taxi desk are about 400-500 (12 quid)

Happy with that.  Few of the lads are already in Kiev when we get there so easier to just get a cab straight to where everyone is.

Which airport is that Pete? Zhuliany or Boryspil? 

Zhuliany is closer to the centre.

Obviously make sure your phone is unlocked first. O2 for example will unlock it for free if it’s on contract (£15 on PAYG) but if you’ve got an iPhone it can take up to a week so make sure you do it in time.

Try and buy sim from permanent shop/vendor.  When we played spartak, I bought one at Moscow airport from a pop-up kiosk on the arrivals concourse.  It stopped working 20 min after I left airport.  Wrote it off to experience & ended up seeking out a proper phone shop sold me one cheaper with loads of data.

That's what I am gonna do anyway. I'm there for 5 days so may need more than the basic. Gonna grab a basic one for a few quid at an airport kiosk to use for uber/maps to get into town.
There's a vodafone megastore near independence square, going there that afternoon and gonna buy with a lot more data.

Would suggest going to a Vodafone shop rather than a kiosk. The staff will stick it in your phone and set it up for you when you buy it. The guy in the shop when I did it had to make a call on my phone to set it up and it was all in Ukrainian so wouldn't have had a clue. Not sure if all phones need to be set up like that though.

You sure. I think Ukraine is ‘roam further’ and not Europe.
If it was standard Europe yes that’s right, unless they have recently changed it for Ukraine, it’s £6 a day as part of contract.

Which network you on? Was people saying in here that Vodafone is £6/day for Ukraine, check what your network offer.

O2 sadly, the £6 rate is only for Vodafone contracts as I understand it.

I know of a few ST or member cards that have been threatened to be cancelled and all purchase history lost.

The club does have a department for this - home and away games. But. They aren't the best and I know of genuine reasons where the ticket has ended in the wrong hands and the card holder has been punished for it.

Personally, I couldn't go the game once so passed it to my mate - he then in turn couldnt go but instead of telling me he sold it to someone and made a profit from it. I had to argue with the club about this and in the end got it all resintated. So they do have some sense.

The club will be on to those on ebay - especially those who are silly enough to publish details of the seat.

Been there done that got my cards back ultimately.
