Germany away (2 September 2006) - all info in this thread

[joe_barry80]

Anyone who bought tickets on eventim.de what section are you in? I got my tickets for section 66 E I hope I'm not in with a load of bratwursts.:)

[galwayhoop]

block 66c. think most of section 66 was snapped up by paddys before fritz copped on so there may be very few brothwurths and frauline's in this section:)

[galwayhoop]

was in munich last year and a 30 minute taxi journey from Munich airport , mostly on motorway was €50, did it 4 times price never varied by more than a €

assuming 30 mins on motorway (@60 mph) is about 30 miles and stuttgart is 100 km (60 miles) from baden karlshrule then the taxi should cost no more than €100. sounds like value between 4 and quicker than messing with buses and trains.

i will be back on if your quote is grossly inacurate:D :D

[joe_barry80]

try flying Ireland - stansted, then stansted - friedrichschafen its only an hour or so away it`s only 110€ all in 1st - 3rd.

[Jens1893]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned (couldn't be arsed trawling through the 25+ pages in this thread!) but if you're looking for cheap accommodation and don't mind a bit of roughing it go to the following for camping just 10 mins train outside Stuttgart:


http://www.campingplatz-stuttgart.de/Englisch/Index.html

Sent them a mail last week and booked for under 10 Euro a night!!!

Now all I have to do is find some tickets! :confused:

that´s a stone throw away from the stadium and my local ... it´s a 5 minute walk up the road from the stadium

btw, those who are flying to baden baden, have some time and want to save a bit of money ... ask for a baden württemberg ticket at the desk ... it allows you to use 'local" trains in baden württemberg, costs 25 or 30 € and is valid for up to 5 people ... it wont cost u more than say 20 mins from karlsruhe to stuttgart

[BaZmO*]

Keep checking this link over the next couple of weeks http://www.uefa.com/competitions/euro/FixturesResults/index.html
Yeah I've been looking at that for a while but I'd rather fined out sooner rather than later as I need to organise some stuff.

[wooman]

while Im flying into Stuttgart, it would appear that loads are flying into Hahn, why dont 1 of you set up a thread to collect numbers from the flights and look into hiring a coach. Its 163 miles and according to autoroute a 2 1/2 hr drive. Even with 30 on a coach it would probably be far cheaper than hiring cars and more crack!!:ball: :ball: :ball:


just to get an idea, wat time are people generally landing in Hahn?

im due in at 4.30

Jens, does this one ticket cover 5 people ??? There are 8 of us going over & we haven't sussed out yet how we are getting from baden-baden airport into stuttgart. Is there a train staion at the airport?

[monkey magic]

lads, just out of interest theres a few of us livin in belgium at the mo, thinkin of driving down, maybe camping... only kinda of decided we might go in the last few days, whats the ticket situation??? or is that a stupid question?:o

[Junior]

5,000 offical Tickets will get snapped up by corporate or Block Bookers.

An estimated 5,000-10,000 tickets have been purchased by Irish for other sections of the ground. It depends on how many of those tickets have been purchased by fans who will also get allocated tickets from the FAI and will then look to offload the ones in the German sections.

If you have a Belgium address, keep an eye out on www.eventim.de as small numbers of tickets seem to appear on there every so often. Thats where we all bought ours before they sussed it and stopped shipping to Ireland and UK!!

[Armando]

9 of us in 66c row 38.

[monkey magic]

i have, and i will do. cheers!

[supasparx]

2 of us in 66c row 50

naw, its a small, crappy airport ... there should be a bus there tho ... just dont spend any time or money in baden baden or karlsruhe, promise me that :D

it covers up to 5 and is 25 € at the machine and 27 € at the desk ... theres some restrictions what trains you can use tho, but itll be hardly relevant for you

gimme your arrival time and ill work something out for you

Lads is there anyone going to be left in Ireland when this game is on?!? :D

Seems like the whole country is going.

Only booked accomodation the other day, €380 for thurs to mon. Its an apartment fully furnished etc. Not a bad deal at all.
Meant to be close to the city centre : Markgroninger Strasse 41, 70435 Stuttgart.

Night and day is the name of the site, worth a shot if any of ye havent booked hotels yet.

We are overnighting aswell, from what I can see from www.stanstedairport.com most bars open nearly all night and at least one is open all night

[NeilMcD]

Not sure about that, I stayed there heading over for the Swiss game in 2004 and the bars closed at about 11 o clcok and open at 6 its not a great airport to stay the night in, they wake you up for you start falling asleep and that sort of crap..

In January this year the UK licensing laws changed so those who wanted could apply for a 24 hour license. I think most of the airport bars would have gone for this.

try hlx.com from manchester direct into stuttgart, just booked mates last night for €180 return inc dub manchester, out thurs back mon,

frankfurt hahn is way north of frankfort, stuttgart is south, it'll take at least 4 hours by train / coach. The distance though is only 100 miles approx. if there is enough of you hire a car or minibus.

[$Leon$]

Lets show the brits how its really done and make it a classic night to beat Paris,

What has this match got to do with showing the brits how it's done??:confused:


vorsprung durch and all of that !!:D

My german isn't that good but "vorsprung durch" means "inovation through".

[casso36]

Lads you can book flights from London City Airport to Stuttgart via Zurich for 117.68 sterling if interested.

Booked my brother this morning on www.airfaresbasement.com, thats not bad considering some prices.

[Jens1893]

My german isn't that good but "vorsprung durch" means "inovation through".

Nope, Vorsprung means head start or edge.

Flying from Zurich to Stuttgart is a waste of time. Just hop on a train.

[Istabraq]

My first contribution, so hello everybody.

I hope I'll be able to answer a few queries on here regarding Karlsruhe Baden and Stuttgart. Me and 5 mates flew over with Ryanair to Baden for the England v Ecuador match. It was the best weekend Ive had in a long time. You have to hand it to the Brits, when they behave, like most do, they are brilliant supporters.

Anyway, we flew out at 2ish and arrived over there at 5ish (germ time). There is no train station in the Airport, so we would have had to get a bus to Baden Baden, then a train from there to Stuttgart, and I think you may have to switch trains on the way although I do stand corrected on that. Your talking about 2.5 to 3 hours mesing around, and then you still have to find your hotel once left in the centre.
We asked how much it would cost for a 6 man yoke to take us direct to our hotel (which was about 5-10 mins outside centre in taxi), and were quoted €175. We got them down to €130 and took your mans hand off. To show us the true cost he put on the meter anyway, and when he dropped us off it was €193. So whatever you do, dont take taxi on meter, agree a price always.
The taxi took 1hr, and it is deffo the way we are doing it in Sept.

I booked my flights to Stutt the minute I heard the announcement, and got 3 flights for €160 each return. Thats flying out Thurs 31st Aug and flying back the Monday. We booked the same hotel we stayed in which is €125 for a triple room per night (3 single beds).

It looks like I have tickets sorted, and there is a very simple way to get your hands on these for a decent price. I dont want to say anything yet because I havent got my hands on the tickets yet.
The reason I came across this forum was due to the whole eventim.de debacle. Im sick I missed that. Never heard a whisper until last weekend.

Anybody else flying over to Baden on the Thursday, because there is only 3 of us, but if we got 4 or 5 more we can get an 8 man taxi for between 130-150 euro?

[Green Tribe]

So will we!! 7.40am flight Friday morning from Heathrow (via Zurich ) on Swissair

oh Jaysus, a Sligo bunch! :eek: :D Do you happen to know my beloved Sligoman? :eek:

[Green Tribe]

We are overnighting aswell, from what I can see from www.stanstedairport.com most bars open nearly all night and at least one is open all night

gufct and beavis there are 4 of us on that 0800 flight too!
:eek: :D

[NeilMcD]

Lads I am arriving in Baden Baden on Wednesday is there anybody interested in sharing a taxi or mini bus to Stuttgart. i will be arriving with one other person and possibley 2 others. If we could get 8 together we could save time and money.
