Hi,

We have received an overwhelming response to the football games in
May. Our four bed and breakfast are already fully booked.

We do have a couple of other alternatives for you, please see below.
These are either home-stays, rented apartments or Hotels. They are
all in the region of 200euro. They are allocated to the first person
who book it and pay for the stay. Please note that for the home-stays
they would rather have people staying 2-3 nights, rather than just
one single night. The Hotel option is better for this.

You book them through us. Just email us back which one you are
interested in.

Olga's Home-stay.

According to my housemate, chelsea keep dropping the required loyalty to get final tickets.

He reckons he will be able to get one 2moro, and he has only 5 games (a mixture of prem homes aways and 1 fa cup) on his card.

Apparently the requirements have been going down daily. this begs the question: If Chelsea fail to sell out, will they reallocate the remainder to United fans?

word of warning about those using tickets in other peoples names

"The Russian authorities are going to be very strict about people trying to get into the stadium with counterfeit tickets or tickets that don't really belong to them."

I can't imagine people with a valid ticket but with a different name on it will be stopped on their way in. If so it's like begging for chaos as many have paid lots and lots of ££ to get one.

They said the same before Athens, but on the day they let people who were not named on the ticket in.

Chances are you could be alright, but it is a massive risk to take. The Russians could quite easily turn round and reject people. If they kick up a fuss then they will just hve an easy excuse to make an arrest, which I'm sure they would take great pleasure in doing!

Nice bit of extra cash for the club - that'll be this service, which costs a tenner (why they feel the need to do the 9am service, as opposed to the £4 next day service is anybody's guess!)

Any why cant they put both tickets in one envelope? In fact, I bet they will and will still charge £30.

Depends if you can keep your emotions locked up

Emotions wil be running high, even for plastics like them

Be careful that's all I'd say

"If the match ticket is not on my name do I need a visa?
The Russian Embassy in London states that if you in possession of any valid match ticket you are qualified for a non-visa regime."http://www.visitrussia.org.uk/

I've made all my arrangements according to that...fingers crossed

Remember!:

It is a mandatory UEFA requirement that all supporters inform the club of their travel arrangements to Moscow, therefore you are required to complete a travel report online, the deadline for completion of this report is 8am on Monday 12 May.

Because I left my visa-application so late I had to pay total of 170€ to get it to the consulate.. Just last wed. I came back from my low-spending trip to Manchester and so another is coming up shortly.. Train from Helsinki - Moscow and back is 150€ but my friend has some relatives in Russia so luckily I have some money to get drunk as well..

In your opinion how many fans are traveling without a ticket 'cause today i read somewhere that UEFA doesn't want fans travelling without a match-ticket..???
