This is nothing short of a complete disaster...

Baku ... the last destination of the Germans in the ill fated expedition of 1942.
The objective was to penetrate the Stalingrad line, the Caucasus line and finally secure the Caspian sea and the oil.

I wonder how they managed Eurovision 2012 when they can't properly handle a much smaller event in EL final. Must have been a nightmare for everyone.

Seriously who thought this would be easy and smooth to put on?!?! Then they wonder why tickets aren't selling. Its crazy and so so stupid!

Or at least somewhere easy to get to! The whole no direct flights or if want one have to stay a week or something is insane.

There is no direct flight from London? There is direct flight from even from Budapest.

There's direct but involves a stay... You'd hope it would've changed since but who knows. Doesn't seem like the price has. 

'The only way to fly direct to Baku for the game would be to leave London on the Saturday beforehand and return a week later, three days after the trophy has been lifted

If you want to fly to the game on the day then a lengthy wait in somewhere like Istanbul or Kiev would be needed.

The quickest journey by air on the day of the final takes six hours 55 minutes, with the majority lasting more than 10 hours'

They're also doing a comp to win tickets.. Doesn't involve flights though lol.

Been saying this since day one, the fucking corrupt imbeciles.

The only easy bit in this process was the visa, got it sorted online and issued in 3 hours. Baku would not have made it to my 1000 list of places to visit, awaiting flight time and departure airport from TC but it would be direct flights. will send pictures and video

Yeah, these petition things totally work most of the time, let’s make another one, moving the EL-final away seems very achieveable anyway.

I mean they've a point but they are a bunch of soppy wankers. Probably looked up and found the were no coffee shops in the area

And what's this shite about us not holding a victory parade if we win? Do we reckon we're above celebrating this? A trophy is a trophy and when I was a kid I didn't see too many of them. Think you should enjoy and celebrate every bit of silverware
