We are leaving for England. How to get to Big Six matches, why buy a membership, and how Twitter and Craiglist can help you find tickets?
How to get a UK visa?
To obtain a notoriously difficult UK visa, you will have to fill out a fairly detailed application form and collect a bunch of documents. The main thing is to prove your solvency. There is no need to show match tickets as a reason for your visit to Britain. This will not be an argument for the embassy when deciding whether to give you a visa or not. The British are notorious for holding your passport for a long time, so it's best to get your visa a couple of months before your intended trip.
We wrote more about the rules for obtaining a visa. The official and most up-to-date information is on the UK government website.
How to get there?
Belavia flies from Minsk to London 3 times a week in the winter season and 4 times in the summer. The average price for a round trip ticket is € 330.
From Vilnius, Ryanair flies directly to two London airports (Luton and Stansted), as well as to Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham. There are also flights to London from Kaunas. It is always useful to compare prices with Wizz Air flights - they also fly from Vilnius to London-Luton, and even daily. A round trip ticket can cost €100-150.
What to expect from the Premier League?
The English Premier League (EPL) is the most popular European football championship in the world, and in Belarus as well. Match Day for the British is a sacred holiday that should not be missed.
The top matches take place between the Big Six teams, which include Manchester United, Chelsea (London), Arsenal (London), Liverpool and the relatively recent additions of Manchester City and Tottenham ( London). The easiest way from this company is to get to Man City’s home games (again, if we are not talking about derbies and other important battles).
On the other hand, if you are reading this note, then, most likely, you have long ago decided which team you want to go to England for. Let's not confuse you.
How does the ticket sales system work in England?
The system of distribution and purchase of tickets is approximately the same for all clubs, especially for top teams. Priority is given to season ticket holders. The rest of the tickets are distributed among those who have taken care of purchasing membership in advance - a special membership that gives the right to purchase tickets (but does not guarantee anything), as well as discounts on souvenirs and tours of the stadium. The priority always remains locals - owners of “memberships” who live in England. After all the locals have acquired tickets, it’s time for membership holders from other countries.
In addition, official fan clubs of teams around the world have the right to request tickets - and with a high probability of receiving them. If you are a member of one or at least have friends who participate in the fan movement, your chances of snatching tickets are pretty good. A list of official fan clubs is usually available on the team’s website. Here, for example, is a list of Local Supporter Clubs on the Manchester United page.
It is important to understand that the probability of getting into the game depends on the degree of coolness of the match. A Manchester or North London derby (Arsenal - Tottenham) is one thing, a match between one of the top teams and a club from the bottom half of the tournament table is another.
How much does membership cost for top teams*?
Manchester United - from 20 pounds.
Chelsea - the price for the 2018/2019 season has not yet been announced.
"Arsenal" - from 34 pounds.
"Liverpool" - from 10 pounds.
Manchester City - free.
Tottenham - from 42 pounds.
*minimum price indicated for adults.
I don't have membership, I'm not a member of the fan club. What should I do?
There can be several strategies. For example, it’s worth trying to contact the nearest fan club and honestly describe the situation: “I’ve been a Liverpool (Man United, Chelsea, West Bromwich – underline as appropriate) since childhood, I dream of going to the match, help!” As a rule, they respond and help in any way they can.
The second option is to search for fans (and, most likely, members) on Twitter using the relevant hashtags. History knows examples when Arsenal fans from Japan helped like-minded Belarusians buy tickets.
The third option is to look for tickets through Facebook groups. For example, in the community Arsenal Tickets, where moderators carefully monitor that tickets are sold at face value and shamelessly ban all resellers.
Another option is to try to identify fans among the hosts when booking through Airbnb (people themselves are happy to write about this in their profile). Locals usually know the One Guy who can get tickets to the game you want.
An option for the brave is the Craigslist message board. Don't be alarmed that it looks as if the Internet had not yet been invented in the world - the British are happy to use it. There are an abundance of tickets being resold here, but there is a chance of running into scammers (though not very high).
The most fun and dangerous idea is to buy tickets in front of the stadium on the day of the game. In England, perhaps, they fight ticket scalpers more harshly than in other European countries. However, who stops? If on the day of the game you walk near the stadium with an interested expression, be sure that they will come up to you and offer you an extra ticket. The main thing is not to make transactions in front of the police, they definitely won’t like it. However, we advise you to resort to this option only as a last resort.
So how much do tickets cost?
A reasonable price is £35-60 (if you buy through memberships, fan clubs or Facebook groups). For children and teenagers – 50% cheaper. For super matches the price can increase by 1.5-2 times. Of course, if you turn to the services of Those Guys Who Know Where to Get Tickets, the markup may well be 3-4 denominations, or even more.
Where do resellers get tickets from? As in the championships or, in England, season ticket holders have the opportunity to return a ticket for a specific game using a special internal Ticket Exchange service. By the way, this affects fan ratings - the more games a season ticket holder has attended in the current season, the higher his chance of buying a season ticket for the next season. Tickets for matches themselves usually become available 1.5 months before the game - including for general sale (“general sale” for ordinary mortals).
If your plans to travel to Britain are still in the distant future, but you're already looking forward to the next Premier League match, the LG SIGNATURE OLED W7 TV will provide the best home viewing experience. It's a huge screen thinner than an iPhone, with LG's innovative OLED technology. It provides ultra-precise brightness and contrast and allows you to maintain picture quality from any angle– convenient if all your football friends can’t fit on one sofa for a long time.
What top matches will there still be this season?
In 2019, Russians need a visa to visit London. Moreover It is not possible to enter the country with a Schengen visa, since the UK did not sign an agreement on a simplified passport and visa regime at the borders of EU countries. Similarly, with a British visa document, entry into other European countries is not possible. A visa to London is issued at British service centers, which are located in a number of Russian cities.
Types of visa documents
Depending on the purpose of travel to the country, one or another type of visa document is issued. Let's look at the main ones.
Visitor visa
This visa is required if the purpose of travel is tourism, visiting relatives or a business trip. Moreover, in each case, supporting documents will be required.
For example, for a tourist visa, documents confirming the availability of a reserved hotel room or apartment rental are required.
If a foreigner travels as a guest to friends or relatives, then an invitation letter from them will be required, indicating the time, purpose of the trip and intended address of residence. Moreover, documents are required confirming the status of the inviting party: copies of a residence permit or passport.
In the case of a business visit, the foreigner is required to provide an invitation letter from a British company indicating the duration of the trip and information about who is sponsoring it.
Transit visa
When traveling in transit through England, a visa is required. However transit through London without a visa is possible. To do this, a foreigner must:
- travel exclusively by plane;
- fly from the Kingdom within 24 hours after arriving at the airport;
- have a ticket for a flight to a third country;
- stopping in Britain must have a logical explanation. For example, a flight through London will seem more than strange if a foreigner travels from St. Petersburg to Paris.
These are the so-called general conditions. But in order for collection to be unnecessary, the traveler must also meet one of the following requirements:
- The country of arrival is the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Or a foreign citizen flies from these countries via Britain to a third country;
- the traveler has a residence permit in the above countries or in;
- the person has a type “D” visa;
- a foreigner flies to (or from) and has a national visa of this state.
More detailed information about all types of English visas and their application can be obtained.
Obtaining a visa
To get started on the website //www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/account/register You need to create your own account, fill out, print and sign the application form. All information is entered in English. After entering all the data, a personal number will be sent to the email address specified when creating an account. In the future, you will need it to register at the visa center. Then you should prepare a package of documents:
- A foreign passport with a validity period of more than six months and at least two blank pages;
- One photograph that meets all the requirements described below. The photo is pasted into the application form;
- , where the position held and the monthly salary are indicated;
- Financial documentation showing the availability of funds sufficient to complete the trip.
Photo requirements
The application form is accompanied by one photograph, which must meet the following conditions:
- photo size is 3.5x4.5 cm;
- the photograph was taken no later than six months before submitting the application;
- Photos of the applicant wearing sunglasses, a hat or other accessories will not be accepted unless their use is related to religious beliefs;
- The image is taken against a light background and occupies at least 70% of the entire image.
Financial documents
You can confirm your financial solvency by providing the following documentation:
- Bank statement for the last six months;
- Certificate 2-NDFL or other document confirming receipt of wages;
- Tax returns marked by the Federal Tax Service.
Supporting documentation does not include certificates of ownership of real estate. However, having them can significantly increase your chances of obtaining a visa. It is worth adding that when a trip is paid for by a third party, financial documentation about the sponsor’s wealth is provided.
Submitting documents to the visa center
The prepared documents are submitted to one of the visa centers. Embassies and consulates located in the Russian Federation do not deal with visa issues. You can sign up to submit documents on the website tpcontact.co.uk, but first you need to create your own account. When registering, indicate your email, previously issued personal number, passport details, last name and first name. After creating an account, a place and date for submitting an application are selected. Here you can pay the visa fee online, and if necessary, order additional services, for example, courier delivery or urgent visa processing. After entering all the data, a letter will be generated, which must be printed and attached to the package of documents.
You should visit the visa center at the specified time (it is better to arrive 15 minutes earlier). You will have to go through the procedures of scanning fingerprints and taking a digital photo. If the applicant refuses to undergo these measures, the UK visa will automatically be refused. If you have cuts or scratches, as well as swelling on your fingers or face, you must wait for them to heal: if the skin is damaged, biometric data will not be collected. The procedure itself takes no longer than 20 minutes.
It usually takes up to 15 days to obtain a visa to London. But it is advisable to take care of submitting your application in advance. It takes no more than 3-5 days to obtain an urgent visa. Applications from persons with visas to or Schengen countries are considered in a shorter period of time. When issuing a visa for a period of more than two years, the documents are examined within one month.
Visa to certain regions of the country
There is no separate visa for entry into certain parts of the country (Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales), as well as cities of the Kingdom, for example, London. In all cases, a UK national visa is issued.
Traveling with children
If you plan to travel with a minor child, you must provide a birth certificate (make a copy) and have the written consent of the other parent. If a child is traveling to the UK unaccompanied, the consent of both parents will be required. If the other parent is absent, you must provide certificates confirming this fact.
All accompanying documents must be translated into English. Moreover, the documentation can be translated either by the applicant himself or by a specialist from the Translation Agency or another person who speaks the language. Notarization is not required.
Applying for a visa: independently or through an agency?
If the question arises about traveling to Britain, then there are two options for resolving it: contact an agency to complete the necessary documentation or obtain a visa to London yourself. Considering that The UK is a country with a fairly strict migration policy, then the advantages of seeking help from agencies are obvious. Specialists from such organizations know all the intricacies, pitfalls and nuances of obtaining a visa; moreover, the process of obtaining an entry document is reduced to the shortest possible time. But such organizations, of course, will charge an additional fee for their services.
On average, depending on the type of visa, the cost of processing documents at the agency will vary in the range of 3,000-9,000 rubles. To this amount should be added the cost of the consular fee, which will vary depending on the type of visa. For example, the cost of a visa to London for up to 6 months will be $132. If you are planning a visit that will last two years, the consular fee increases to $459. It is, of course, cheaper to apply for a visa yourself, but the likelihood is
The invitation to attend Russian Maslenitsa in London coincided perfectly with my trip to Britain. The organizers promised a private dinner of “Russian” Englishmen, domestic celebrities and the presence of the mayor of London himself. To take a walk near the Tower and have dinner with Sir Boris Johnson - plans for the weekend were going quite well.
On the flight, I imagined the British establishment and was very worried about the suit in my hand luggage, which I was going to wear to a meeting with the English mayor. The plane landed at Heathrow, I quickly got ready and was one of the first to move to the exit. Deftly bypassing the queue for EU and British citizens at passport control, I walked towards the back of All Other Passports, holding my bag so that my suit didn’t inadvertently get wrinkled.
A border guard named Goksel, a native of Turkey, greeted us good-naturedly and asked traditional questions about the purpose of the trip and the number of days of stay. “Oh, this Russia,” Goksel nodded sadly at the Times cover with President Putin smiling under the headline “Could War.”
Okay, Michael. What about a second visa?
Apparently, he hints that I should return, I decided and joked that everything was still to come.
No,” Goksel changed his tone. - I need a valid British visa so that you can visit our country.
I opened the stamped page of my passport and handed it to Goksel. The border guard looked at me intently, and then with a hand gesture indicated the validity period of the document.
The visa expired a week ago.
An hour later, I filled out four immigration forms, provided a hotel reservation and return tickets to Russia. Goksel asked to wait for him at the border post. The realization that I arrived in the country with an expired visa had not yet set in.
Time passed painfully slowly as I began to study the arriving passengers. Mostly they were Indians and Chinese. The first ones are sure to have Prada or Louis Vuitton, the second ones are sure to have cameras and guidebooks. “The suit is apparently wrinkled,” I mentally apologized to Boris Johnson. Out of boredom, I started humming Grigory Leps’ song “I’ll go live in London.”
Michael, follow me,” an officer named Alex interrupted my vocal attempts.
They took my photograph, took my fingerprints, asked me about my illnesses, and inquired about my religion.
Catholic? Great! - Alex suddenly exclaimed and ran out of the office.
Another quarter of an hour passed, Alex had already managed to take my documents and return.
Mik-ha-el,” he drawled. - Am I pronouncing it correctly?
Usually they say “Michael,” I answered. - Well, like “Michael Jackson.”
Sorry sir! How do I deal with my last name? - the policeman went into orthoepic excitement.
Don’t even try,” I laughed. - The surname is Ukrainian, not everyone can do this, even in Russia.
“You’re Russian, but with a Ukrainian surname, just like Mr. Putin is trying to conquer part of Ukraine for Russia,” my British escort suddenly remarked.
Our conversations about geopolitics are ringing a bell. Alex listened to someone on the other end for a long time, answering only “Yes,” when he finished, he turned to me:
Putin, Putin... No, we are “good guys” and will try to help you. We see that you are also a “good boy”. Now I will take you to the deportation cell, don’t be afraid. The wait may take a long time. But first we will need to examine you and your things.
I stood in the mirrored room wearing only socks, and Alex laid out an illegal set from my backpack: a fresh Vanity Fair, polished shoes and a suit. “It didn’t crumple!” - I note joyfully.
Michael, great suit! - he caught my eye. - It’s true that you’ll feel cool walking the streets in it.
After checking my shoes and clothes, they took all my belongings, including my phone.
I don’t know whether they will meet you halfway or immediately deport you to Russia - it’s not up to me. “Alex explained to me as he led me into the cell and said goodbye.
A room with whitewashed walls, one of which is made of transparent plastic with small holes for air. Two guards in uniform walk right behind her, with a rubber baton sticking out of their bosoms. Inside the room there are chairs, a stacked bookcase (volumes with the Bible and the Koran), and in the center there is a table on which there is a plate of fruit and cookies and British GQ. There are three toilets and a children's room on the side. On the wall there is a TV and posters “Do you need spiritual help? Call!" - each religion has its own hotline.
"Hey!" - a stocky guy of about 30 with thick stubble and a gold tooth almost yells at me. His eyes, small and black, like raisins, crawl over me. He comes close and whispers: “Cigarillos?”
This is Tito, he is from Albania. Well, like from Albania.
Albania, Egypt, Berlin, Rome,” Tito bends his dirty fingers. - British (claps his hands) - stop!
From time to time he jumps up, runs up to the transparent wall and begins to rush at it with all his strength and ask for cigarettes. The calmness on the part of the police irritates Tito, he shouts: “British booomb!” and slams his hands on the wall.
The Ethiopian Marco sits on a chair, resting his head in his hands - Tito introduces us. Marco greeted me with a nod and didn’t say a word after that. Only a couple of hours later he took out a photograph from the inside pocket of his greasy jacket and peered at it closely. Walking around the cell - sitting on the wooden chairs was excruciatingly painful - I saw that the photo showed Marco with a girl and two children. Apparently family. In the corner of the room there was an inconspicuous sofa, and on it, wrapped in a blanket, lay a Moroccan. I never learned his name.
An hour later I was invited for questioning: purpose of the trip, hotel booked, occupation, education, income. When I returned back to the cell, Tito was taken out by two guards. Apparently, he finally broke down.
Then the agonizing hours of waiting began. The song about “I’ll go live in London” repeats like a refrain in my head. Soon the convoy brought Tito, he methodically continued to throw himself at the transparent partition of our cell, Marco almost did not raise his head, and the Moroccan continued to sleep on the sofa. Out of boredom, I leafed through GQ, the Bible and the Koran. The British magazine was of no interest to my fellow inmates at first, until I reached the strip with the girls in swimsuits - then Tito ran up and snatched it from my hands. I had to watch British television. For some reason, the cooking channel was turned on in the cell: the chefs were preparing a festive dinner of four sets. For a moment I thought about Boris Johnson and our apparently no-longer dinner. My suit, like all other things, was confiscated.
Finally, after three hours, Goksel came back for me. The unknown forces of England (MI6? David Cameron?) cooperated and postponed my deportation for two days.
God save the queen!
The passport was confiscated and an immigration document was given in return. On Monday, two days later, at exactly 5 am, I had to arrive at Heathrow Airport, check in for the specified flight, go through security, and then visit the immigration department again to return my passport.
You don’t have to pay money for a ticket,” Goksel explained. - In fact, this is deportation, you must be put on a flight, so don’t worry.
He walked me to the airport exit. With joy I wanted to kiss Goksel, he rejoiced no less than me. We said goodbye.
***
Needless to say, not a single tower with Big Ben could surprise me in the next two days. Why are there big bens, I think if I met Prince Charles walking along the Thames, I would have passed by. I had to hang the suit in the closet - it was really cool to walk around in it. I never saw Sir Boris Johnson, nor did I see the gala dinner in honor of Maslenitsa. The night I was released, Liverpool beat Southampton 3-0 and it seemed like the whole of London was out in the streets chanting “Liverpool!” The pubs were packed to capacity, people were drinking right at their entrances, taxi drivers were shouting joyfully from the windows of their branded cars, grocers, wrapped in flags with the emblem of their favorite team, were checking out goods at the checkout counter and rejoicing. I chose the noisiest pub, stood in line, ordered dark ale and roast ribs. It was at this point that I really started to like London.

If you are planning a trip to Britain for any purpose (tourism/study/business trip/visiting relatives, etc.), then you should definitely think about applying for a British visa. The fact is that visa-free entry into the UK is not provided for Russians, and it will not be possible to cross the border without a visa. However, there are some exceptions and features, which we will discuss in this article. First, I would like to note that, contrary to the erroneous opinion of many travelers, Britain is not one of the countries that can be visited with a Schengen visa. Can someone go there without a visa at all? Under what conditions? Read below.
Features of visiting Britain without a visa in 2019
For Russian Federation passport holders, there are only two options to travel to the UK without a visa. Firstly, if you are making a transit stop, provided that you are traveling to the USA, New Zealand, Canada or Australia and have a valid visa from the relevant country. In all other situations, it is impossible to leave the transit zone in 2019 even for a few hours. There are also concessions for other tourists - from a cruise ship. If the journey does not begin and end in a British port, then visa-free stay in the UK for Russian citizens is allowed, but for no more than 24 hours. In other cases, a visa is required.
Several years ago, an agreement was signed between the Republic of Ireland and the UK that some foreign nationals, including Russians, could visit Ireland on a valid UK visa. For the first time, travel is only possible through Britain, and then you can travel directly to Dublin and other cities. This option is very popular among our compatriots. However, this rule is asymmetrical: having received a residence permit from the Irish Embassy, Russians do not have the right to enter the UK without a visa. A visa to Ireland allows you to travel only to the territory of this country.
In general, there is a whole category of citizens who have the opportunity to visit Britain without a visa. We are talking about holders of passports of the European Union countries and some other countries (Australia, Monaco, Switzerland, Argentina, etc.). But it is worth noting that this rule applies only to short-term trips not related to immigration purposes. A visa is required to visit with the intention of long-term residence. Accordingly, Russians can enter the UK without a visa if they are also citizens of these countries. Please note that possession of a passport is required, a residence permit is not enough.
Leave a visa application
From the very beginning, the “Visa-Free World” round-the-world trip was conceived as a trip exclusively to visa-free countries for Russians. Great Britain is not one of them. An entry visa must be issued at the British consulate, and until now, obtaining it involves a number of formalities and the need to fill out a bunch of paperwork. But still, there is already a small “loophole”. You can get to England without a visa - in transit for one day. This opportunity is available to passengers flying through London with a transfer. But this opportunity is by no means a guarantee that you will definitely be allowed into the country. The decision is made by the border officer - solely at his own peril and risk. He has the right to allow one-day transit, but may not allow him into the country.
We'll have to take a risk. The difficulty of our situation is that formally a visa can only be issued for 24 hours, but our transfer between flights “Zadar-London” and “London-Casablanca” is as much as 32 hours. From a purely formal point of view, this alone can be a reason for refusal.
The adventures began in Zadar. We flew to London on a budget airline, Ryanair. According to the airline's rules, you can carry only one piece of luggage for free - up to 10 kg in weight and no larger than 55 cm by 40 cm by 20 cm. We, of course, travel light and our backpacks are not very large. But the problem is that you need to stuff a laptop, a camera and a video camera into one piece of luggage. It needs to be repackaged somehow. The easiest way to lighten your backpacks a little and make room in them for photo and video equipment is to put on as many things as possible on yourself. Soon we looked like cabbage - in several layers of clothing (shorts under pants, another one on top, a T-shirt under a shirt, a sweatshirt, a fleece jacket and a windbreaker over it). It took a little more time to redistribute the cargo. But we still managed to ensure that our backpacks began to weigh exactly 10.2 kg. It's a pity that all efforts were in vain. No one even thought to measure or weigh them. We filled out our boarding passes online and printed them out. We didn’t even have to go through registration; we went straight to passport control and boarding.
At passport control, the Croatian border guards were calm about the fact that we were flying to London without a visa. How will the British greet us?
The first steps on English soil at Stansted Airport: from the plane to the second landing terminal, then two train stops to the central terminal. There is passport control. Groups are advised to approach the border officer together.
Let's approach. I immediately say that we are traveling around the world and in London only in transit. We printed out not only our tickets for the London-Marrakech flight, but also tickets from Morocco to Tunisia in advance - so they could see that we were going to continue flying, and not get stuck in the UK. Plus - solely for passport control - I had to book (and print out) a hostel reservation in London.
At the border control at the airport - full International. Among the border officers are Arabs, Chinese, Indians, Iranians... We ended up with a bald-shaven man with a thick black beard. Surely he comes from somewhere in the Near or Middle East.
He looked at our papers: “You have probably prepared for the trip and know that transit for 24 hours is by no means guaranteed. Besides, you have more than a day between flights,” and he went with our papers to consult a senior officer. We wait. Coming back. A typical procedure for the English border service begins (I already went through this when I traveled to England): where do you work? Will you return to your previous job after the trip? How much money do you have? Do you have friends in England? Wife? Children? etc. etc. But at the end: “I’ll still give you a stamp - but only for 24 hours. You should be at Luton Airport tomorrow evening and go through passport control.”
That's how we got to England without a visa. The principle of “World without visas” was observed.
From the airport the bus took us to Victoria station. From there it is only about a kilometer walk to the Joy Hostel King Willem IV. At first we were a little lost. But the hostel is located very well - on the banks of the Thames, opposite the power station, the pipes of which serve as an excellent landmark.
For the first time in several days, we spent the night under a roof, on clean sheets, and had a proper breakfast. But that’s not why the mood was great. None of us are attached to comfort. What’s more important is that all morning the feeling persisted that we somehow ended up in London undeservedly. It’s as if you won a one-day excursion to London as a prize or received it as a free bonus.
It’s difficult to write about London attractions. It seems that everyone already knows everything and has seen it a hundred times. Even those who have never been here before. Tower, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Parliament, Running Ben, Ferris Wheel, St. Paul's Cathedral, Piccadilly, British Museum - all three of us have already seen this many times in photographs, on TV, and in films. What was new was the determination of the distances between them - in steps - and their relative positions. Of course, it was not possible to cover all of London in a day. But we didn't try.
Late in the evening we went to Luton Airport. But our adventures in London did not end there.
