Small ones are - it says none bigger than 45x25x20cm. Given what some bring to Anfield I agree with that

Anyone bought tickets off StubHub or Viagogo before and picked them up on event day?

Ahh okay, a standard sized back pack should be fine then? Just done a quick measure of mine and it’s around those dimensions. On a day trip so don’t really fancy leaving my bag 15 minute walk away from the shuttle buses

What's the best thing to do with mobile data then?

On EE and not paying whatever ridiculous amount they're charging.

If you go back a few pages on this feed there are lots suggestions with buying SIM cards out there and what you can do with current contracts

Ta. I'd not seen that which is strange as there is some good info there.

Looks like...
Scheduled flights will make use of the free shuttle buses.

Charter flights into Kiev we will be packed into some different buses and dropped off at: Taras Shevchenko Park
Which appears to be 15mins away from the stadium in one direction, and 15-20mins into town in the other.
I say packed in - like at Roma, but more.

Think I'll aim to be around that place at 6pm ish and walk up from there for the game.

Then after the game looks like a walk back to that park, and catching a bus to the airport. (Says need to show boarding pass to get on but imagine they will not check).

I read somewhere that 'we' will get a separate entrance in the airport for charter flights than scheduled flights. They've got a plan apparently. Let's see how that goes! We all know it will most likely end up in 'free boarding' and that plan is to get you onto planes and out.

It also says that your bus back to the airport leaves two hours before the flight, which is cutting it a bit fine for a 45-minute journey and clearing airport security.

I'd set myself up on Revolut and was gonna top it up today. Quick Google, after reading this post, and it does appear that plenty of people report issues of withdrawing from ATM's in kiev with a Revolut card.

I contacted Revolut to ask about this and they confirmed that the card should be fully functional in Ukraine.

At least you have to buy a roaming add on to access internet rather than dining out the cost when u get home

Never been to a European away before - are prices of drinks and food usually reasonable? I know it differs country to country. Will there be plenty of places selling booze and food throughout the day?

They'll probably increase the prices near and in the city centre and around the ground but supermarkets should be fine. Kiev isn't really an expensive city in comparison to other European cities.

In a bar.

I'm in two minds whether to purchase again, only done it the one time. These websites claim to refund you if there's any complications, but again, one must be aware.

I’m in two minds. Get one now at inflated price, or get one out there and run the usual risks.

Apologies if this is not the right place for this...
Me and my mate have a 2-bed apartment in Kiev Thu-Sun. Entire thing cost us $3300, but now some other lads have pulled out as they can't get flights. We have one room with a bed and sofa-bed available, suits two. The place is 0.8 miles from the stadium and really central. We are looking for $1200 ($600 each) for the three nights to share with us. Please PM me if anyone knows someone interested, I'll share the link. Again, sorry if I'm out of order here.

It also makes no sense, because how do they know what time anyone's flight leaves?

Unless they're going to implement some pre-queue thing so the hold back is at the park, and not the airport. I.e if you're on the 3am flight, you get on this bus, 3:15am, this bus. That sounds too complicated though.

The info I've read appears to be people from Revolut saying it's all fine but the reality appears to be mixed reviews. I've got euros in ours which I'm gin a take to exchange in Lviv. Just use me normal card if I need any more.

Or to the same tune, often heard on the Kop in the Seventies
Walking down Lime street swinging me chain
up comes a copper and asks me me name
So I kick in the bollocks and I kick him in the head
cause I'm a libpool skinhead
with loads of na na na's

kesey · « **Reply #2113 on:** May 21, 2018, 12:45:43 am »

It's a great song but I always thought it was Cockney and not copper .

Anyway.

If ya feelin tired and weary and your heart it skips a beat
You will get your fuckin head kicked in if you go down Heyworth Sreet
If you go into the Sandon you'll hear our famous noise
Gerrout you Everton bastards we're the Bill Shankly boys.

Can't be arsed with the second verse.

I'm on EE with an unlocked phone. I was shocked when I discovered how expensive their roaming charges for the Ukraine were. I've decided the first thing I'm gonna do when I get there is to buy a Vodafone Ukraine sim. For £7.50 (170UAH + 50UAH +40UAH) on pay-as-you-go "prepaid." They offer the following four week package without contract:

14Gb data (4G in Kyiv, 3G elsewhere)
Unlimited social networks
75 mins international (62 destinations including UK & IRE)
Additional international minute bundles available, 14p (5UAH) per 10 mins
150 SMS/MMS international
Unlimited calls to other Vodafone Ukraine numbers
300 mins to other Ukraine networks.

I'm going for 5 days. So this is a god send. None of the UK networks come anywhere near close.

Deal link (English language): https://www.vodafone.ua/en/privatnim-klientam/rates/vodafone-red-l

Deal link (Ukranian language): https://www.vodafone.ua/uk/privatnim-klientam/rates/vodafone-red-l

There's shops in Boryspill airport selling these sims, around railway stations and in phone stores. My advicevwould be to take a screen shot of the deal and take it into one of the above places.

Blog from a visitor to Kyiv who got the same deal which also explains how they managed to do it. Some of the price plans have changed slightly since but the principle remains the same:
