Who is this Liverpool-Dam-Istanbul flight with? I can't find it on skyscanner.

lpool - the dam easyjet,the dam - istanbul pegasus

[Pepe Reina Is Rafas Son]

How come Skyscanner doesnt give you the best/cheapest option when you put in from Liverpool to Istanbul on the Wednesday? But if you do Liverpool to Amsterdam and then Amsterdam to Istanbul it works out much cheaper?

I thought Skyscanner worked it all out for you at the cheapest.

As there singles not a return flight

Anyone have any idea what our allocation might be? Tried to do some digging on the Spurs pages couldn't find anything

Was just checking their attendance figures, against Arsenal in the CL playoff it was just under 60K, against Spurs it was just under 20K 

Capacity at the Ataturk is officially 76,092 or 75.145 depending where you look, unless parts of the stadium are closed we should be getting easily 3K plus tickets or am I missing something here?

No mate, we'll get loads for this.

[KOTP]

hopefully the club will have the sense to make tickets collect over in Istanbul to stop the credit hunting going on as we are gonna get a fair few thousand for this and going by ludogorets when there the away end wasn't full but the game sold out and loads of eastern European reds in our end makes a mockery of the loyalty system

Its no different to the PL away system with hundreds on 15+ that only go to a third of that. Unless they change the system, nothing will change.

[PaulKS]

Why would they do a ticket collection when we will have a decent allocation.

Makes no sense, would be a nightmare.

[Aggers-Elbow]

Looks like I'm gonna end up missing this. 6 weeks working in Vegas from Feb-Mar instead

Totally agree and why should the majority have the inconvenience of wasting an hour or two of their trip getting to the pick up location plus many don't arrive until later in the day and then to also have that added inconvenience.

Have just booked flights. Luton to Ataturk ( Istanbul ). Love Istanbul! Are you going Andy Acle, Gary GeefJay?! No need to ask you Phil Rhylred! 

[HuytonRed_91]

When we played galatasaray at the ataturk we got 3250 priced at £6

[stevesteve]

Never been to a european away. Wanted somewhere closer but if flights are still around
The 150 mark after Christmas fk it am going :-)

[chrissimpson81]

Booked Stansted to Istanbul Weds to Fri for me and the old man, hopefully goes to all members so I can get back on the ladder otherwise gonna need sorting again, even though we went to Madrid and Sofia!

[RainbowFlick]

How much you pay mate?

I can only really afford a day trip so not entirely sure it'll make sense.

£160 each mate, there was an overnight flight from Luton on the Weds and an early one back on the Friday morning that I saw from Luton

What route you taking Phil ?

[geth7]

Express Star Hotel  booked for 3 nights, about a 3 minute walk from Taksim Square. £92.50, so £47.25 each, not bad at all. Hotel looks decent as well.

The same reason a lot of other clubs do it....to make sure fans who actually go the game get the rewards in future unlike those who buy tickets whilst sitting on the couch watching it on the tele.

There's a good chance we may only take approx 1000 here. It would be nice to see them given free tickets to another game like the bitters did for there fans who went to Russia.

[Tetti]

are there any survivors from when we played them away in 2007?

Absolutely. Best night losing an away game I can remember. Well except Marseille.

Im working out if I can brave the cold. Not the Beşiktaş stadium then but the Ataturk?
Shouldnt take as long as that night did.

[Smithy_88]

Were in the Parma Hotel in Taksim Square...

£76 for a two bed room per night, looks ok like

[ABJ]

3 of us going now so I changed our room in the Hilton to a triple...only £30 each, sometimes it does pay to work in the travel industry!

[Craig S]

Per night or for whole trip? It's that rate booking direct on the Hilton site, for the Boshporous one, as they have a 33% sale. (324TL, just under £90). You do need to pay in full now though. A twin is around £76.

We booked the Hilton Doubletree for £68 for a twin, because I wanted to be in Sultanahmet.

[Aggers-Elbow]

Red Flag?

I'm out there the same time as Red Flag but will be working on a different exercise. I can't say much more than that haha

[kevlumley]

I remember being in that bar just off Taksim Square, just down from MacDonalds and loads of Beşiktaş pulled up outside and the bar owner pulled all the shutters down, then asked us to be quiet.

Then we got some stupid walking bus thing to the ground. We just swerved out of that and walked to the ground ourselves, group of four, two lads and a couple. No trouble at all.

For the most part lots of Gala and Fenerbache fans were shaking our hands before the game.

I didn't really see any trouble, other than when we were at the bar before the game

[cal_liverpoolfc]

Just booked the Hilton ParkSA, just near Taksim square. 374 TLY for 2 nights, twin room. Works out at £100 between the two of us.

Can't complain at that.

[ABJ]

Brilliant that. Which Hilton?

The Hilton Istanbul Bosporus is the full name, only a 10 min walk from Taksim Square as well.

You had any luck mate?

[cal_liverpoolfc]

Ah ye, we were going to book that one but this was slightly cheaper. Like yours though, only a stones throw away from Taksim square.

[matchball]

They now have the metro, which makes it easier wherever you stay. Easy access from Airport and to the ground and the Old Centre.
