Hi,

I have tickets to the final and on the UEFA website it says i need to show proof of a negative lateral flow test taken up to 48 hours before the gates open. The results of the test need to be shown by way of an email or on the NHS app, so i assume i actually need to go to a proper test centre for this?

Anyone have any experience on exactly what i need to do? Thanks!

Get the lateral flow test from the NHS, open up the reporting website, put in your details and then scan the QR code. This then gives you the option to say negative or positive. Following this you'll then get an email and text from the NHS confirming what you said.

If this is what they're using at Wembley, you can just say negative when the test said positive, but I hope people are better than that...

No problem. Once you get the pack it contains 7 tests and easy to follow the instructions. Just download the NHS App, create your account and once you submit your result it will give you a barcode to scan at the event.

Im off to the Cricket on Sunday and we have to follow the same process.

I think the rule is provide a negative test, or be double jabbed more than 2 weeks prior to the event

Yeah unfortunately that is the rule. You cant get a pass until 2 weeks after your 2nd jab.
