Topic: CL Final 2018 - Kiev

[Red Phil 18/5]

That's decent that. Going to try to get my name on it (just incase the ballot is successful!)

Keep checking.  They'll add extra flights.

[Thomas]

Just taken the plunge with world choice sports, looks like First plane sold out and they put a second one on. Anyone else done likewise ?

yes I am on the first plane from Manchester.

[gazzalfc]

Thomas cook has re opened again

[RainbowFlick]

Does anyone happen to be driving from Warsaw on Friday and back for 9pm Sunday?

We booked to Warsaw last night for Friday and now my cousins have pulled out. They said they would drive but now have had second thoughts and think logistically it's not a good idea for them. 

[dudleyred]

just got the e-mail from the club














and like you thought it was for the ballot but was offering the new Champions League Final range in the shop FFS!!

Fly in and fly out in a day option?

Looking at the two day option.  But want to know I have a ticket before booking it.  £800 is a lot to pay and not have a ticket.

Just managed to book a place So just need to get lucky in the ballot now !

[claresy2005]

Yeah went for the day return from Liverpool . Not guaranteed a ticket but chancing it.

[gordo]

My mate is having a look at getting a private chartered flight. He reckons that we will need atleast 40 people but we can get it cheaper than Thomas Cook and the others.

I'll keep everyone updated on this - this isn't guaranteed but if we can sort it I reckon people will jump at the chance to get something cheaper.

Try these, doing an overnight coach from Warsaw and back

Thanks.

[stevesteve]

I'm going without a ticket and like u on a budget!
Might even do coach the whole way pretty sure that would come in at around 200

Yes,

I think RAWK should allow a ticket exchange.  There'll be loads who qualify but can't afford it.  I've got 6 and will be putting myself in, but I wont be going unless if I can get there and back for under £200, which looks possible but not good for someone going by self, then shelling out for all that, it's more likely than not that I wont have a ticket.

Claire, couldn't an exchange be considered as a one off?

Can only go with TC if you qualify for a ticket from club tho!

[SingFongFC]

As long as you qualify for the ballot they’ll take a booking - I know because I’ve just managed to sort it!

I’d advise ringing them though, the website was an absolute nightmare for me

[Jagdip]

Has anyone got an email re the ballot?

[Grobbelrevell]

If you are successful in the ballot but aren't going then don't buy the ticket because it will go to someone on the waiting list who has the credit rather than passing it on to someone who doesn't.

THIS

Or alternatively, if you're not going and you know that now, don't apply for the ballot in the first place.

[Grobbelrevell]

Has anyone got an email re the ballot?

No.

[adwhite40]

Nope not here either

What I mean is if you fail on ballot they will re-sell the seat, only tickets holders from club can go with TC.

[JACKO_LFC]

Will Thomas Cook take the name off your season ticket? What if it doesn't match?

Sorry, may be a silly question.

[ChrisLFCKOP]

Ticket prices will be split across four categories:
Category one tickets cost £394, less than 1,000 available
The cheapest, category four, are £61—or £48 with restricted view
Around 2,600 of Liverpool’s allocation falls into cheapest band
Around 8,500 tickets available in category three, priced £140
Around 4,500 tickets available in category two, priced £280

They'll probably get a list off the club to whose names are on tickets, and work from that, or the club will deal with it, and see whose booked on the flight
and if there's a ticket with their name on.

Yeah you supply them with the name and membership number of each passenger.

In our case, the lad who’s card it is isn’t going so I had to give them both names (card holder and traveller). Then when the card holder applies in the ballot, he specifies the traveller name so it matches up with the details the club has

They take the name of the person that the ticket is for.

So if you win a ticket in the ballot you are then able to buy a ticket in someone elses name. That is the name that Thomas cook use

i have booked on the overnight coach from Warsaw to Kiev. Doing the flight to Warsaw and travel in Warsaw to meet up with the coach on my own, so if anyone is flying from Luton to Warsaw on the Friday afternoon, can you PM me please.

fantastic, cheers mate!

I'd be interested in this. Where is he looking to fly from?

[gazzam1963]

Will anyone on the ACS automatically go in the ballot or are you expected to receive an email and then ask to go in it

[Rhi]

You'll have to ask to go in it. Opens tomorrow morning and runs until Monday morning (I think). We should get an email about it today.

[swoopy]

Can only go with TC if you qualify for a ticket from club tho!

That's fine. If I don't get a ticket then I won't be going

Four of us are interested!

i have booked on the overnight coach from Warsaw to Kiev. Doing the flight to Warsaw and travel in Warsaw to meet up with the coach on my own, so if anyone is flying from Luton to Warsaw on the Friday afternoon, can you PM me please.

How much was the overnight coach?

Flights are around £300 atm which is better than £800 option I was looking at but I will have to drive to Luton.

[Tiz Lad]

£759 on Thomas Cook is steep but not quite the extortionate price that 5 times past players are charging

They're asking £1050 for their day trip

[stuartheal]

We're booked up and going despite only being in the ballot.

This is where I’m at. I’ve just paid £622 for my flight. Norwich to Amsterdam, onto Minsk and then to Kiev. The same route coming back. Lots of sleeping at airports. Bit nervous about doing  it on my own.

My mate who I go with won’t buy flights until result of ballot. May have to meet him out there. He may have to pay in the thousands for his flight.

It’s mad!

[pionious]

Do you reckon there will be public screening of the Final at the fanzone(s)? Found a few news links saying there were no public screenings in earlier finals - London (2011), Lisbon (2014), Berlin (2015) and Cardiff (2017).

I don't live in the UK, and have not attended enough games in the past to be eligible for a match ticket - however, am booked to travel to Kiev. I watched the Europa finals at the Camp & Furnace - if there are no public screens, perhaps we need to find a similar place in Kiev as well?

[kopitenkw]

£149 for the overnight coach.

[Max999]

LFC have once again missed an opportunity to sort the fans who’ve followed them all over Europe. Instead those with all of the aways will be lumped in the same ballot as anyone who ticked the auto cup scheme. Maximum of 500 on all the aways, and probably less than 100 of them who don’t have a home credit.

[Claire.]

Claire, couldn't an exchange be considered as a one off?

No. If you don't intend to travel, don't buy a ticket then someone else who actually qualifies has a chance of one. The club have advised to only apply if you intend to travel.

Anyone know if there is anything else like this i.e coaches from Warsaw and back?
