The Champions League (European Cup) Final

[Molby]

This is not (yet) a match thread

in fact, let it never become one - Gethin can do it at the right time

this is about the institution of the European Cup Final, and the forthcoming occasion, arrangements, tickets...everything except the match

deal?

have to do a meet up

perhaps not on the Place de la Concorde as we've outgrown that kind of thing

more like Oberkampf on Friday night, after a hard day visiting art galleries; a cool area with dozens of bars, and easy to get to (if your hotel is nearby)

and finally, I cut and pasted most of the FA Cup Final thread to do this one

has anyone ever done that before?

Hoping beyond hope that my Parisian friend can pull off a miracle with a ticket.

how? 

is he like that armed robber in the French film I saw at FACT?

in France, footy fans might get away with robbing tickets -  as a crime of passion

Travelling solo so would be good to finally meet up with some more off here. Train gets into Paris 8.30pm on Friday so providing no delays should be ok for a few beers.

32 min walk to Oberkampf

“A world away from Paris’ sterile tourist hubs, Oberkampf in the city’s 11th arrondissement is the French capital’s most intoxicating soirée district. As nightfall cloaks the city, this edgy yet funky part of town sets the party dial to high-tempo and kicks it ‘til dawn.”

13th arrondissement is prettier than the 11th as memory serves, but guess it depends what you're after. 

Do we have any actual Paris-based forumites on here?

So was about to post something similar.

any idea of plans for the thousands that travel that don’t get tickets??? Will there be a fan zone type thing? Large screen? Best options to watch the game ?

The last time Real lost a European final was against who? 

And where did that final take place?

There will be fan zones but doubt there'll be big screens in them. Wasn't in Madrid anyway. Have to find a bar to watch it in which is a bit of a ballache as they fill up fast.

Can you not fly somewhere else in Europe for cheaper and go to a few places over 7-10 days? Make a trip out of it.

How much is it usually? And could you not fly to somewhere else direct and train from there or something?

Eurostar from London to Paris not in demand at that time at all of course. Bet that's as much as the flight.

Why don't the club charter flights any more like they did for Istanbul?
