A Liverpool fan with a ticket for Saturday's Champions League final fears missing the game because of a "gut-wrenching" wait for a new passport.
Bryan Rosborough, from Londonderry, sent his British passport for renewal in mid-April.
Since then, Liverpool reached the final and then Bryan was successful in the club's ballot for final tickets.
The Passport Office says most applications are completed within 10 weeks.
"I should be living the dream but I am only thinking about the passport," Bryan said.
A surge in British passport applications is threatening the holiday plans of families across the UK.
