Would it be possible to get out to Ataturk in a taxi and back home with these buses that the city of Istanbul are providing? Or do you need to travel with them both to and back home from the match? First come first served after the final whistle?

Been thinking the same mate.... swerve waiting around in a stadium for 4 hours if they leave at 4.

Was just going to pay the £10 return, get me ticket then get back off the bus and use it at the end of the game

Haha, might do the same thing to be honest. The big question is otherwise how we'll get home after the game if we can't go on the bus, especially thinking that the game is now also sold out and there will probably be around 60-65 000 Beşiktaş fans trying to get home. Is there any info about how many buses we're talking about? 10-12 with 50-100 persons per bus which maybe could be our whole end?

Found this from when Spurs played them during the group stages:

 OFFICIAL COACHES

Those fans who have selected to use the official coaches should go to the pick-up point at Sultanahmet Square (Blue Mosque) between 4:45pm and 5:00pm.

 Only those who have indicated that they wish to travel to the Stadium using these facilities will be able to use it both before and after the match.

If you are staying in or near Taksim take the bus from the airport instead. There will likely be a 15-30 minute wait before it makes a move, then depending on the traffic might take around an hour to get to Taksim. I don't remember the cost, but it was a fraction of what you'd pay for a cab.


Havantas bus takes about 1 hour from SAW depending on traffic to tasking square. 14 TYL. (£3.60p)

Used it loads of times when I used to use this route for cheap trips to UK for the games, one airport to the other via tasksim square.
I arrive 17-15 will be getting the next bus out.

They tend to run every half hour or when full.

Are they keeping us behind after the game? Give their lot a chance to get gone. And then hopefully some taxis knocking about for us??

Stood with my brother in Taksim Square. Quiet here but there was a massive political march/protest down the road. The people eventually congregated around a van with loudspeakers about a mile away. Anyway, any Reds around for a beer?

Yea mate, were in a place called ekvator. If you're walking down the main road from the square then it's up a road on the left hand side opposite maccy's. Dunno where everyone else is around here though?

Me and my lad finally found our hotel, took two hours on the minibus to get here, traffic was horrendous, absolutely knackered now! Going to venture out for a bit now, Taksim square is about 1/2 a mile away.

We took the bus last time in 07 or whenever it was, to Taksim, easy, peasy.
