Does anyone know at which side is the home team at Yubileyny Sport Palace in St.Petersburg? I don't know which seats should i buy..

 

[Xokkeu]

Like Vladivostok!!! No visa needed as far as I know anymore!

No visa for who?

when I bought my tickets I was not given a choice

Would love to go but I'm afraid of being the target of violence due to being transgender (not so much visibly, but my deep voice would give me away).

most russian females have deep voices

for those heading to Russia--you need a valid health care provider and as I found out today--my health care provider is not valid in Russia and I do have a good one.

There are few questions on the application to go to the country that you may find amusing

also---here is the yin/yang--they tell you not to pay or book anything before you get your visa--but they wont issue you a visa unless you can provide where you are staying and what you are doing

Americans ask if you plan on committing genocide..... I mean that has to win all of them.

For example here: LINK

When you choose your date and click on the "Seating chart booking, Search for your seat yourself", you can choose your seat

I got a declined message, but the bank said nothing was declined at their end. Is this what you have?

Yep. I think the Russian merchant is declining to process our cards. Not sure if it's just American banks or what.

Hopefully just a temporary glitch. I don't see why they would decline American cards.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I had to call my bank when I bought my tickets and it went through--I was unable to buy tickets with getting my bank involved

I've been trying since December. Basically resigned to buying on the secondary market.

May be an American problem.

BTW, I'd recommend, if you'll have a possibility, to visit some old Russian towns. Russia is not only St-Petersburg or Moscow. There are a lot of interesting things to see here.

I'll write it shorter for you: visit Yaroslavl

 

[1Gold Standard]

if anybody is having difficulty finding accommodation/visa in St. Petersburg, let me know, I can point you in the right direction.

Yeah, Yaroslavl is nice
Also I can mention Suzdal, Pskov and Izborsk, Novgorod.

I booked a good hotel about 1 mile from the Arena

 

[Jumptheshark]

sorted out my insurance--they were grumpy when I said that I would decide later what company to use
