Ie just been for a mooch down the main day here in Kyiv, which is already sealed off and being turned into the main fan zone.
The good news for pissheads who like **** lager is that Carlsberg is currently priced at UAH 15 (£1.20) and local crap UAH 10 (about 80p). Official merchandise is also the cheapest I can remember for a long while, with official Adidas tees at the store going for less than £20 and the new Tango 2012 balls around £7. If you're into that sort of tat.
I'm not sure if they'll hike the prices up slightly - especially the ale - once it all opens for real on Friday. But I reckon there's a good chance these will be the normal prices in each of the host cities here in Ukraine, otherwise the locals would be priced out of it. You can usually get ale outdoors from the kiosks or tents for about 40-80p, so there's a mark-up already.
