athywhite1958 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Take the paperwork to Russia, find a FAN ID centre, get a ticket and sit down for an hour while they process it, they scrutinise every letter and number, one of our lads had 1 number wrong [their fault] and we were stopped on the Russian border, he had to reapply whilst we were there at the border and thanks to one of the guards only took a couple of hours, he then went to a FAN ID centre in Volgograd where they weren't very helpful at all.

athywhite1958 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 i hope not, they must have learned lessons after the first 4 weeks, plus there won't be anywhere near the numbers they had initially, you've got to remember they are all volunteers, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what was worring me about using a ref number from social media, so buy a ticket or don't get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
