If we win it - you won't have to go far for the Super Cup

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_UEFA_Super_Cup

The 2018 UEFA Super Cup will be the 43rd edition of the UEFA Super Cup, an annual football match organised by UEFA and contested by the reigning champions of the two main European club competitions, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. The match will feature the winners of the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League and the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League. It will be played at the A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn, Estonia, on 15 August 2018, and it will be the first European club final held in Estonia.[1]

Wonderful venue..............capacity 10 thousand.

I'll be taking mine on the day trip, have taken it to Sevilla, Porto and Roma this season and not had it took off me but I know others did (although I think you can collect stuff after).

I took mine to Roma and nobody said shit about it

anyone who is looking to come to Liverpool for the Champions league final weekend and cannot find accommodation.
Premier Inn in Childer Thornton has rooms available for £183 for 2 nights friday to sunday.
Train straight through to Liverpool city centre takes 30 mins.

It's a bloody disgrace that the Liverpool hotels are now cashing in as well.

Leaves 23.30 and gets to Kiev mid morning. Not posting any further details cos I'm still considering it.

I reckon getting a train to the border, then changing to a Ukranian train would be a lot cheaper and faster.

Bus to Lviv £13 then train to Kiev £8. depends how long you've got. I'm in Warsaw Thursday night, Lviv Friday night and get to Kiev Saturday 11am. Never been to Ukraine so decided not to spend all my time in airports.
Doing an overnight bus back directly to Warsaw Sunday night for £15 so not bad

They have done foe the last game of the season, too.

I'm 30 on the Monday and am going in to town for a meal and a few bevs on the Saturday and was planning on staying over (I only live in St Helens anyway but be nice to get a hotel room). £280 they wanted for the cheapest. The taxi costs £30 back home - couldn't believe it.

How much are the tickert in the UEFA Ballot? I would have thought they'd be long side tickets?

It’s a Category One ticket in block 38 which is near the south stand. Hoping our end is that side rather than the other.

Heard a few comments about taking 'Power Banks' into the Olympico, what are peoples thoughts on Kiev? I've not had problems before (didn't go to Rome)...

I am on a day trip so want a way to charge up. I could do with a new power back but don't want to buy it just to chuck it away or have it taken off me.

I took a power bank into the Olympico (albeit a relatively small one) and had no issues. Was asked what it was but that was it - we did get there slightly later though so it's likely they just wanted to get people in at this stage.

Anyone else noticed that some applicants on the purchase history have a star with offer on them. Seems random to me.

Considering calling up to ask. Surely that can't be right!?

I've had a word with a mate and it seems like the star is something to do with cost. The person with the star has been charged 1p but with a 1p "offer". Its the weird way the software works, so nothing to take much notice of, unless anyone can confirm they have more than star in a group.

Hovering over it says "Offer". Then clicking brings up this message: "The fees has been removed"

It's probably related to how they were booked, as mine was done with Friends and Family cards so only one booking fee of 1p taken

If you have registered other people, I think the star is next to the lead person who registered everyone.

We have block 37-56. 37 is the cat1. Your block is the upper tier behind that.

I've had a look at that one but was hoping to get on one of the sleepers and arrive Saturday morning so I don't have to worry about accommodation in Kiev on the Friday night. It looks like we'll have to go on that train or go for an overnight bus from Krakow. Cheers.

In Rome there were loads of power banks on the confiscated items pile at the end, so obviously plenty had them taken off them. You could just go and retrieve any confiscated item at the end of the hold back period. That's happened at a lot of stadium's we've been to. Usually they give you a ticket receipt, but in rome it was left up to everyone's honesty to retrieve only their own items. We were amongst the last out - on the last buses - and there were loads of power banks still there. The confiscated items weren't obviously placed - daughter had to ask the stewards and was directed to them round the back of a walled off section - I guess lots didn't bother to collect.

Always take mine.
Always get quizzed.
Always managed to get in with it but accept I might not.
Tip. A few hours before the game get it charged to full then if you do lose it you’re sorted.
Also is only a tenner for them from amazon so not the end of the world unless you’ve got a big expensive one.

Was asked about mine on way in at Stadio Olimpico but let through, Villareal it was taken and I was given a ticket in secure collection. Not been asked anywhere else.

Oh they do rummage through your wallet. At Villareal they found Hillsborough stickers in wallet and confiscated those. In Moscow daughter had to argue vehemently to keep her house keys which they wanted to take for some totally incomprehensible reason.
