Topic: Ticketless fans in Paris

[TeddyTime33]

Sounds from the article like the giant screens are just for the 'concert' during the day at this stage though. But you'd at least know you can contain everyone to one area. Fingers crossed they can just show the match on them.

yeah hopefully they confirm actually showing the match

Yeah thats what I got from the translation.

That road is massive...if they close it ok but if they don't then it's long narrow shit hole on the side...where would the stage be!??

[mersey_paradiso]

For 50000 reds pretty certain it'll be the whole avenue closed between Nation and Porte de Vincennes mate

That is correct

[mersey_paradiso]

So they must be closing that road to traffic - makes sense and good that there's giant screens. Where do they get this figure of 22, 000 from - thought it was just under 20k ?

Edit - well done MP for finding this !

No worries mate. Will repost it so it's seen being as it was the last post of the preceding page

More than 50,000 Liverpool supporters are expected on May 28 in Paris for the Champions League final against Real Madrid at the Stade de France. Faced with this English influx, a huge reception area will be set up on the Cours de Vincennes, to the east of the capital.

It was a tour de force for the public authorities, the bodies concerned (FFF and UEFA) and the State services: organizing a Champions League final in three months, when UEFA's specifications required it. legally eighteen. The Russian invasion in Ukraine, launched on February 24, led to the relocation of the Champions League final - initially scheduled for Saint Petersburg - to the Stade de France, in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) under the impulse of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron.


The President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, should not attend the Champions League final
One week before the event, and after more than seventy preparatory meetings, to date, between the various actors involved, under the aegis of the prefect hors classe Michel Cadot, interministerial delegate for major sporting events (Diges), the system reception of the supporters of the two clubs is almost finalized. Liverpool and Real Madrid supporters will have 22,000 seats each, including VIPs.

Real fans will meet near the Stade de France
On the Spanish side, the “fan meeting point” will be located in the public part of the Legion of Honor park, in Saint-Denis, near the Stade de France. It will open Saturday at midday, will close around 5 p.m., and will be reserved for Madrid fans in possession of a ticket for the final.

On the other hand, the discussions were denser to find a base suitable for the British supporters, who will be much more numerous. The authorities estimate that they will be between 50,000 and 60,000 to come to Paris next weekend (including the 22,000 ticket holders ). To accommodate them, half a dozen avenues have been explored, such as that of the Jean-Bouin stadium. But the enclosure hosts "hospitalities" linked to the Roland-Garros tournament.

UEFA settles the bill
The choice finally fell, according to our information, on a long artery to the east of the capital: the Cours de Vincennes. An option which was not necessarily that of the town hall of Paris, which anticipated in particular the reaction of local residents, and which had proposed hall 1 of the exhibition center at Porte de Versailles, south of the capital. Option rejected for safety reasons: too many smokers or the "cracking" of smoke bombs in this closed place could have triggered the fire alert system, causing an evacuation of the public without an immediate plan B...

This “fan zone” in the Cours de Vincennes should open at 2 p.m. on the day of the final, and will not only be reserved for Reds supporters, whether or not they have a ticket for the match. Pat-downs will be carried out to enter the area and musical entertainment is planned inside: two giant screens will be installed to broadcast the concerts that will take place in the afternoon. Food trucks and beer taps will also be available. The bill for the organization of these two spaces, Spanish and English, is paid by UEFA. As for the FFF, it has legal and operational responsibility.

[Caston]

So from that article it sounds like thats a mixed fan zone, and no confirmation they'll show the game on the screens?

Surely there should be separate fan zones/screening for both sets of fans?

[mersey_paradiso]

Nah, the Madrid fanzone is in St Denis (ticket holders only).

Cours de Vincennes is just for Reds, ticket holders or not.

[Caston]

The article translated says 'This “fan zone” in the Cours de Vincennes should open at 2 p.m. on the day of the final, and will not only be reserved for Reds supporters, whether or not they have a ticket for the match'.

Unless it's just a translate issue...

[mersey_paradiso]

Ah yeah my bad, you could be right. Guess we'll see.

[didopich]

It will be a lot more than 50k ...closer to 80k

[MattH66]

Yeah thats what I got from the translation.

Here's the latest from the main man in Paris, Hadrien.  Its looking good for the screening of the match.

It's great that Reds can be together and most importantly be safe.
Keep tight and take care of each other folks.

There's already tension brewing up depending on where people have made their booking for the match. It's mainly between Corcorans losers and god like chalet du lac people...

That's a lovely idea Debs and you're spot on as usual.
But even the regulars amongst us are not as thoughtful as you who want to keep the site running.

For this big final though, I think we're happy just to create a safe space for Reds. In 6 months RAWK will be the same (love it or hate it virgins    ), some people will never reappear but we'll all be fucking happy.

Sorry if this has been asked previously.....

Anyone had experience of changing a name on eurostar ticket?
Do they check name against passport etc?
My lad may not get time off work!

Got thurs-sun

[JHennerley]

Is anybody getting a train from Calais to Paris at all? We’re considering it as an option to save a potential 4+ hour drive after the ferry. If so, has anybody found any parking near the port?

[Radoo]

“Can I change the name on my booking?
Only the person named on the ticket may use it, but don’t worry if you’ve just made a tiny spelling mistake. There’s no need to let us know, just turn up and travel as normal.
 
If your passport's in your maiden name but your ticket's in your married name, just bring a copy of your marriage certificate with you when you travel. There’s no need to make any changes to your booking or let us know in advance.
 
If someone else would like to travel, they'll need to book a new ticket.”

i'm not sure what else you've read but that is just confirmation that the screens will be used to display the concert (for those at the back), not the actual match. which was the same setup as what was in Madrid.
