I applied for tickets throught the UEFA site in April and have just received my email saying my application was unsuccessful. Even more frustrating as I had tickets for the final in Seville last season :cried:

Anyone looking for flights maybe worth checking BA again. I just got an email about a seat change. Usually means a change of aircraft so maybe a bigger one with some (presumably high priced) seats added?

No. At the mercy of one of the s*it airlines I assume?

Pretty much every short haul flight I have taken in the last couple of years has been delayed.

Yeah it's Easyjet. A little bit too close to comfort I think.

Which flight? Been refreshing all day in the hope of something popping up unexpectedly like it did for Seville last season.

We're flying from Stansted to Dresden late Sunday night and booked a seat on a coach from there to Prague, 1 hr 30 mins on the coach!

Wasn't many seats left on any coach (they leave every hour from midnight onwards) so presume this is a popular route :hamm:

that specific flight was the late one back on Thursday Prague/LHR but it looked like Tuesday out may have changed (was full).

I’m not, as going on the Monday, but I know a few northern hammers are on that flight. I believe prices have rocketed!

Got a hotel booked Tues-Thurs but can't figure out a decent way of getting out there without paying through the nose. Frustrating!

If there's more than one of you travelling you could fly to Wroclaw in Poland and drive. Flight is £70-£120 depending on whether you want to go direct, can't imagine car hire would be much more than £25-30 per day.

Is that 6:30pm local time? I think kick off is at 10pm so you should be safe there.

Even with Stelios.

Kick off at 9, so only really allows a couple of hours by the time you get through the airport and the whole city will be carnage by that time.

Keep looking. It takes BA a few days for operations to schedule a larger plane or additional flights.
