What was the rating of the ebay seller you bought from? Also check out if any other pics of tix have been posted on ebay that look like yours and check they have different block/row/seat details. If they are forgeries chances are all the forgeries will have the same seat details (i..e won't be unique.)

From memory my eventim tix look like Tipcelt1's

lifted from chatsoccer.net forum


The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Dermot Ahern T.D., today announced the opening of a temporary Consular Office in Stuttgart on 31 August 2006 to cater for the massive influx of Irish fans expected for the forthcoming Ireland v Germany European Championships qualifier game on Saturday 2nd September.



The Minister said:



As part of this Department's ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of Irish citizens abroad, I have decided to establish a temporary Consular Office in Stuttgart. It is estimated that upwards of 10,000 fans will be travelling to Stuttgart and it is of the utmost importance to me that Irish fans travelling to the match have access to emergency consular services if required.



The office will be open from Thursday 31 August to Monday 4 September and will have extended opening hours on Saturday and Sunday. Consular officials will be able to provide citizens with replacement travel documents, and to assist in cases of arrest, accident and injury. I would encourage all Irish fans going to Stuttgart to check our website, www.dfa.ie, for details on how to contact the Consular Office, and for advice on travelling to Germany.



We have a long-standing and well deserved reputation as being the best behaved football supporters in the world, especially in Stuttgart, which was the scene of one of Ireland's great international successes in the Euro '88 tournament. As always, I am sure our fans will do Ireland proud, just like the Boys in Green on the pitch.

No problems getting a taxi in Karlsruh airport direct to Stuttgart. Takes just over an hour. Always agree on a price first. Dont go on the meter or it will cost in excess of €180. We haggled an 8 manner down to €130 and that was in the height of the world cup, so id be confident of getting it for even cheaper again.
You can get a bus from the airport to the train station in Baden Baden. Im pretty sure you then have to change trains along the line before reaching city centre (not 100% on that), and then youve to find your way to your hotel. Its a lot of hastle, and will take upwards of 2.5 hours.
Grap a few heads in the airport and haggle a taxi.

Just check a few more sites to get the weather you require. I've already looked at 5 in the space of 2 minutes. Ranging from 13 degrees to 24 degrees on Friday 25th, raining to sunny. All reliable newswire sites too.

yup mine is diff, my hogram is in bottom left hand cornor, no writing on the green strip along the top either....and vvs sign is diff too, not a definate an icon and has pointed ends.....is there diff tickets for each block?

I have my tickets in hand and the VVS sign is different to the one posted above. I bought the tickets on ebay from a respectable source. They are not event tickets but tickets issued from the german fa. The VVS is similiar to mentioned by sligonproud.Having checked ebay there seems to be a similiar amount with different variations of VVS signs. I contacted my seller and he assures me my tickets are genuine as he is a member of the german supporters club????????

Sub,
You might consider hiring a car. Four of us driving from airport to outskirts of Stuttgart on Friday, returmimg Sunday. €130 for car for two days. Couple of euros on S-bahn to city centre. I did it in july - I reckon its the quickest way.

Good luck!
