Germany have apparently lost their last 4 home games in Stuttgart. Italy, Argentina, France and Brazil have all won there.

Even Scotland have won in Stuttgart in 1957.

This just gets better and better. :)

I really hate the germans (apart from being one lol)
honestly, I live in Hamburg and they couldn't possibly find something further away, could they??

Cheaper return flight on Monday 4th Sept from Stuttgart appeared on hlx.com, so current return price for Fri-Mon is around �250.

Has kick-off time been announced yet?

If not - do germany usually play weekend games in the afternoon or evening?

Thanks!

I see that generous travel agency that is 747 travel are looking for �700 for 2 nights in a three star hotel. But hey you get the presence of the highly conscientious and hard working 747 ground staff. Well it has to be worth it then, doesn't it???

Booked flights and Hotel for 3 nights for myself all for �300.
Their making some profit. Traveled with 747 to Paris. Never again. Shower of cow boys Ted. The PM has listed before all the hassle we had with them. i won't bother repeating it, it would only pi$$ me off

Not arguing with your opinion. :D

However that must be Treacy's cheapest trip for a while.

Remember the Faroes and insurance....the only pepolp who got paid on their travel insurance were those with annual insurance that was not sold through travel agents!! I was one of the lucky few..even got the price of my match ticket back....makes Rays free insurance look worthless. I paid about �100 for 2 adults 2 kids for the year.

just as a matter of interested how many people traveling will have travel insurance. Didn't bother with it when i went to paris. i know we should have got it. any ideas where to get good cheap insurance for this trip? doubt it would be worth my while getting vhi or credit union annual type

Not really sure where that is exactly but apparently its beside the metro that
goes out to the stadium.

Ok T but don't come looking to me for elusive tickets!

Working on organising a bar to accomodate us without jacking up the prices. Apparently the Stutgart business have only just realised what is about to invade their city.

Not trying to stalk yez or anything ;) but myself and schumi are staying in the same place now. Still the same price. Schumi's arriving a day earlier than me (Friday afternoon v Saturday morning), so I presume I'll find yez coming out of the Rumplestiltskin Leverkusen with drunken red faces and a few crates of beer like the last time?:D

Has the FAI sent ticket apps out yet?

I sent the FAI an email last week asking when they would be taking applications for tickets for the match. I haven't heard anything back yet but when (if) I do I'll post it here. As far as I can remember though they normally put the application form on their website about 3 or 4 months before the game in question.

Here is the response I got from the ticket office regarding tickets for the match:

I am currently waiting for the German FA to confirm ticketing details. Forms will then be posted out. Can you forward your postal address in order to receive an application form.

Kind regards

Ticket Office

Forever Dreamin

11/04/2006, 6:49 PM

Appications wont be posted out for a couple of months and the Germans dont even have to talk to the FAI till 60 days before re tickets. You can be sure the Germans are more worried with the world cup at the moment. However you should write in or email asking for an application form to be sent out to you. While at it you might as well ask for forms for any other away games you intend going to. You can email the ticket office through the FAI web site.

Anyone know when ticket applications will open for this.

A German friend of mine says he doesnt think the DFB will sell their full batch for this and we might get more. He says that Stuttgart does not have as much support for the national team as places like Berlin and Hamburg, and so we may get more than the minimum away allocation.

after trawling through this thread it's convinced me I have to go. After having a TST for the world cup and missing out because of the Swiss I'm gonna go. Just back from Berlin and have to say the people are sound and the beer is bloody strong!

Tickets for the game might be tricky though but if you go that far you'll pay a good bit to see it.

I no it seems a bit odd but i booked with www.alitalia.ie fly out thur 2pm leave early sunday morn €195 incl taxes return with a short stop over in the Milan Airport bar each way.
The prices have gone up but there worth a shot. I also looked at air france, same sorta deal only via Paris CDG and about €20 more. I'm sure there gone up as well but they might be the only ones with tickets left at this stage.

Just checked the web site you can travel out on the wed and back on the monday for €204 return

were with airfrance via CDG for about �220, lot more expensive now.

also those of you not already booked will pay a fuel surcharge of approx �16 each way due to increased fuel costs with most national carriers. was looking at alitalia and czech airlines too. each including a stopover was less than four hours
