Topic: Champions League Final in Paris 28.5.2022

[MKB]

Data point: Passport control at CDG Terminal 2C being manned by just two desks.  Wait time = 62 minutes (with two-thirds of the plane still behind me).

[mc_red22]

manc airoport yesterday morning was a long wait...get there early if going from terminal1

Depending on who people are travelling with, it sounds like they might have stepped their game up a bit today. I flew out at 6:15am using Jet2 this morning from terminal 1. Thankfully I didn't have to check any luggage in but I got through security within 20 minutes.

I'm currently sat in Pisa airport waiting for a 3:15pm flight to Paris. Hoping I can find somewhere to watch the game tomorrow haha

Anyone know what the covid checks are like at Dover/Dunkirk?

Randox app messing me about with test and got no other way of proving anything?

[tbonejones]

According to Merseyside Police on Twitter, “you won't be able to take alcohol into the fan zone, but there will be food and drink on sale.”

Hmmm.

Orange squash and freezer burgers?

[GWats77]

N143 bus from Porte de Paris-Stade de France bus stop outside the metro station near the stadium. Buses run every half hour to CDG all through the night.

What about buses to Orly?? Do you know??

Are the coach innovation coaches 4 seats around a table? Bloody hope so!

They checked passports with coivd pass/negative test.

One lad on another coach didn't have a test so was asking coaches if anyone had a spare test.

Like someone brings a testing kit with them.

Also if you are on coach innovations check when the driver drops you off. Our lad reckoned he was picking us up at the ground.

He rang the gaffer who confirmed it's at the place on their website

Update in UEFA app:
“If you've been wondering about the refreshments available at the stadium…

Yes, you can enjoy all the heat on the pitch with a cold Heineken or Heineken Silver beer 🍺 from the concessions kiosks or delivered to your seat by Just Eat.“

Probably won't be Anfield CL prices, but still good news, ;-)

It’s 8€ + 2€ deposit for the cup.

[mc_red22]

I'm guessing tickets for the fan zone are sold out?

[scouse92]

Anyone know if they have a UEFA event on tonight like they did in Kiev and Madrid ? Dimitri Vegas played in Madrid.

There are no tickets for the fan zone...

[UntouchableLuis]

Setting off at 6! See you on the other side.

[Anthony]

Any idea if they checked the test dates on a covid pass? (I know that's a pretty unlikely question to get an answer on). I'm double jabbed but just found it has to be within 9 months and I'm just over. Setting off tonight on a coach so hoping they aren't that strict!

[jimmyred2010]

My second jab was over 9 months, missed my ferry because of it. Has to get a test this morning then on the later ferry today.

Nightmare, had no idea!

[BobPaisley3]

Are masks needed anywhere in France?

Shttttttt didn't think they would check that. I'm screwed then need to something quick

[keano7]

Pick up an antigen test before your coach leaves and the results will be with you pretty quick before the ferry leaves! Just make sure you don’t have Covid!!

I've got a box of them here (Rapid Antigen Tests NHS ones), will they do or do they have to be 'official' through a company now?

[jdet90]

Yeah I thought they had to be PCR paid for ones?

I've got NHS ones and I haven't left yet

[d_sig8489]

Has to be a private test company, not an NHS one. A negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours or an antigen test result taken within 48 hours pre-departure.

Depending on where you are in the city, check out...

[Anthony]

Insert joke about wanting spares here...

[TeddyTime33]

Merseyside police on twitter saying phone chargers/power banks aren't allowed, directly from the French police

Why did Uefa say bring one then? Daft really.

I know gonna cause shit at the stadium, tempted to leave mine now

[d_sig8489]

Says 'mobile phone chargers' not permitted, assume as well as power banks it also means plug/charger cable too  ridiculous!

Completely OTT.

[Millie]

I bet you can wear tennis gear though 

[Vladi Legend]

Don't forget if you're not fully jabbed but have recovered from Covid in the last 6 months, you can gain entry into France this way instead.

There's signs on the Metro saying they are obligatory but I've only seen one person wearing so far and that wasn't on the Metro.

[Anthony]

Just been to the stadium. Bear in mind the station on line D is in Zone 2 and the fare is therefore €2.80. If you were thinking of getting a Paris Visite Card (€12 for 1 day, €19.50 for 2) then factor that is as the stadium would be included.
