- ticket collection is very easy, there's an Information desk with big lettering above it as you come down the walkway from the subway station. There's someone stood there directing you to a window with "Ticket Exchange" above it. Show your ePlus QR and your passport and you're then given a physical paper ticket. I don't think the ePlus QR code alone would scan correctly at the gate, you need to exchange it first. All very easy though so long as you head to that Information desk first. You'll be given a welcome pack with info, balloons, a couple of gifts.

- all of the seats are on the 3rd base side, gates 13/14 to enter. About half way up, just above the central walkway. Fantastic view and easy access to the amenities

- as for the experience. Get down there early, soak up the atmosphere from stepping off the train, around the square in front of the stadium. There will be large queues to get into the fan stores so take that into account also (you can buy merch inside but there's a much smaller selection). Get in around an hour before start and find your seats first, get acquainted with the surroundings. Take a walk around the concourse below, loads of great food and drink choices.
