Anyone got details for morons like myself who didn't update basket and now have a ticket sat at Anfield that they cannot collect.   The ticket office were less than helpful......

Those prices were from a tripadvisor post in January this year.

If they hike the taxi prices up to rip us off even further remains to be seen.

Cheched a more recent tripadvisor post saying that's exactly what will happen . Taxis will be arrinving from wide and far to cash in on things apparently.

If it's an overnight train, yes.  There's a choice of three classes.

Just been in Vodafone and was told that if I call a UK phone or text its free as part of my bundle. Data is free too.

It's not on contract, Kesey:

Quote
Ukraine is a Roam-further destination

As you have Vodafone Global Roaming you’ll only be charged £6 a day to use your UK allowance of data, minutes and texts in any of our 104 Roam-further destinations [PDF: 810KB] – and you only pay on the days you use your phone. A day is midnight to 23:59 in the capital of the country you’re visiting.

Other benefits whilst in a Roam-further destination

It is always free to receive standard rate calls and texts – this won’t trigger the £6 daily charge
You can use your UK allowance to call or text standard landlines and mobiles within the Roam-further destination you are travelling as well as the UK
If you go over your inclusive allowance, you will pay the same rates as you would in the UK

Fantastic!

Third class is about £7.50, second class isn't much more.

First class is probably not that much either but I didn't look. 

That's if you book direct onto a Ukranian train, not sure if you can book online or need to buy at station.  (I'm not using these, I was looking it to it at one time).

https://ua.tutu.travel/poezda/rasp_d.php?nnst1=2218000&nnst2=2200000&date=17.05.2018&isRedirect=1


I'm getting train from Warsaw and couldn't book online on the above (well, if you can I couldn't work it out).  You might be able to book online as it's not international.

If you can't book online on the above, and you don't want to take chances paying at station, you can book via these but more expensive (but still very cheap compared to our own trains - they also charged for delivery after the online price)

Well my trip just got easier
Had a good search through the draw I drop all the spare change I bring back from trips abroad
Found myself a few spare Ukrainian notes from my last trip there
39 of them to be precise
So I'll be arriving with £1.09.. Sorted

I see some scumbags trying to make 4 figures for tickets on that 'Shpock' app. Touting c*nts.
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

900 UAH

Reputable - YES
robbing bastards - YES (although i did read you do pay considerably more anyway when you book a transfer so maybe not too bad)

The airport and demand for taxis is going to that busy its going to be a case of beggars cant be choosers and just pay whatever it costs within reason.

Let me get this right -

I understand the part about putting a ukranian sim card in your phone and all that.

But.

Is it going to work out just as cheap (and probably easier) for me to get a PAYG sim in the UK before I go and get some kind of add on? Anyone know any cheap UK PAYG sim rates? I'm in the Ukraine for 36 hours so don't want to waste my time at a phone shop

That is a rip-off. Should be around a tenner. UBER it.
Actually, report from a fan who arrived yesterday, UBER 10 euros, journey took about an hour so that makes it even better value.

I used Uber for Roma away and it was the same app as the UK one. Not sure if Ukraine is the same but would assume it is.

Just done a mock UBER from airport to city and its come out at about 8 quid

I'm prepared to pay double that on the day to be honest. A 45-60 min journey is a long way in a cab to be fair.

Already fucking smashed my credit card to get into the country so an extra 16 quid isn't gonna bother MBNA :)

Yes it's the algorithm that jacks the prices up - the prices go up and up until the demand levels off and then they start falling again. I expect it'll be better to negotiate rates with the local taxi drivers given the likely demand for Uber.

I negotiated a lower rate with our Uber driver who took us back to our hotel - I asked how much to the airport and he said with or without Uber which surprised me. It worked out cheaper than us getting a train so went with the Uber driver for a non-Uber journey! Not sure Uber would be impressed but always worth asking them the question.
