metro 6.30 a day
1.45 a ticket

Anyone flying from birmingham? What’s the queues like there.

[Barry Banana]

Hmmm... made >1 booking but received 1 collection number. What to do?

I’ve had a response off @lfchelp on Twitter. Sent me a second reference number in the chat (but no second email) and said just to show the chat at collection.

[RainbowFlick]

delays in our domestic airport security checks
flight cancellations due to covid
flight delays due to lisbon airport radar malfunctions
2-4 hour delays for non-EU passport holders at Lisbon Airport


and to top it off Kiwi.com seem to still be trying to book my flight having paid for it on the day of the draw

whether i make collection time... or Lisbon at all... i'm doubting...

[gazzam1963]

Flew to faro yesterday morning from Liverpool , literally a two minute queue for security , plane off on time and only a passport check at faro , no one asked for covid pass or locator form . Weather is sunny in spells and mid teen temperature but a coat is a must especially if you wanna have a bevy outside .

[deanloco9]

Worldchoice sports have just cancelled their flight to LIsbon.!

Why do people still book World Choice Sports after Kiev? They are simply a scam.

Did the same & just received my reference numbers now.

[lukeypool]

Just been through security at birmingham. Probably the quickest I’ve ever got through.

Heathrow T3 no problems, busy but moved quickly

Which airline and where from?

[Levitz]

Which airline and where from?

Easyjet LGW to Porto. We had connecting flights to Lisbon. Managed to get Easyjet to put me on the last seat on morning flight to Lisbon that was showing as £408

Was not too bad for us. About 25 mins all in

I suspect it may be busier tomorrow but let's see

[RainbowFlick]

How long did border control at Lisbon take today?

[RedSue]

Just arrived in Porto and checking Vaccinations before you get anywhere near passport control.  After that no issues and out quickly

What's the nearest Metro station to the pick up please? thanks

[NickoH]

What's the nearest Metro station to the pick up please? thanks

This was on the email:

The Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Conference Centre is located within The Hotel Tivoli Avenida complex, approximately a 5 minute walk from the Avenida Station on the Metro Blue Line

Appreciate the reply...best get there early morning before the day trippers show 😂

[NickoH]

Piece of piss through security at JLA this morning 👍

[RedSue]

Anybody try out the ticket collection yesterday?  As bad as Milan?

[russmills10]

Anybody try out the ticket collection yesterday?  As bad as Milan?

Got there at about 5:15, queue was short but didn’t move til 5:30 and then got out at 6:15- assume it’ll be much busier today but once inside they did a better job than Milan

[ACLE]

Don't go into the actual Tivoli Hotel entrance for ticket collection. 20 yards to the right of the hotel front door (uphill) there's a pair of green iron gates. Go in there for ticket collection.

[DangerScouse]

It's certainly not shorts weather. Wooly hat wouldn't be out of the question.

[DangerScouse]

Mate is there now. Said its nowhere near as bad. Was done within 20 minutes or so.

[jdirckze]

Just picked up tickets - less than 10 mins waiting

Doubter.

[redmen27]

Finely tuned machine now this LFC collection process 
10/15min wait

[RedSue]

Wouldn’t say finely tuned as looks good but would help if enough staff for the number of lanes.  Some queues unmanned and taking longer, plus lots of people without the correct stuff.

[redmen27]

There’s nothing LFC can do with folk not turning up with the correct details. Everything stated on the email what to bring to collect tickets

[TeddyTime33]

Looking like huge queues outside stadium

[Gettin better all da time]

My bro lost his passport before the game - anyone seen one lying around? Idiot ha ha

[Thepooloflife]

Load of shite getting in to ground and even worse coming out with the heavy handed bizzies

[Red210]

The individual police officers were fine I found, it was the police policy that was wrong. It makes no sense, you can mingle freely going to the ground, I walked the half hour from my hotel together with loads of Benfica fans - then afterwards we get held captive for an hour+ for no reason. The club should try to do something about it, but not sure they care that much.

Getting sick of netting too - shouldn't really have a place in the 21st century. In any other sport people wouldn't put up with it.

If we win thru and play Villarreal wait till you get in that away end 😎..it's more like a cage than netting 😂..so $hite

Then you get put on the metro which doesn’t stop at any stations and then none running back.  We let away fans out with no hold in and not frisked by stewards who go well beyond acceptable standards that seem the norm for our fans!!
