Buy in advance from www.bahn.co.uk (in English), get 25 or 50% off (these tickets are called 'sparpreis').
Paul- nearest station is Feuerbach. A taxi €10-15 from the city centre/ main station?
paul b , bottom line on germans trains is it depends , i often booked a ticket that couldnt be changed for a cheap price and then missed the train i should have been on . if you get a jobsworth inspector you are shafted and will have to pay a one way fare if not they will quite often let you go , it has happened me on a fair few trips.. best not to miss your train !!
Decided just buy on spec. when we get over. Trains seem to run very 1/2 hour or so from frankfurt to Stuttgart, might have to pay that bit extra , but don't want to taker the chance on delayed flight etc..
anyone heard anymore on the germans supposedly stopping any irish fans from entering the german end :confused:
just had a text advising me they are going to do this
??? they better hadn't, better brush up on some german phrases and get meself a deutschland jersey otherwise
Horse$hit, your mates at it....................Quote:

Impossible for them to stop us now, too many many of us have tickets. They know they're caused this mess themselves and just have to deal with it
Did you bid for the tickets or get them at a "buy now" fixed price?Quote:

Answers on a postcard to the Stuttgart police chief.
Now having said that there may well be scare stories to discourage people from travelling.
Ther eis still the possibility however unlikely that they can cancel tickets already in the hands of Irish residents. Nothing they can do about people from other countries who bought tickets.
I'm sure the EU would have a legal position on this, open market and all that.Quote:

Anyhow, I've been listening to Kraftwork and eating a lot of bratwurst recently so I'm sure if we all follow that plan we should sneak in :)
Das it gut.
Das is sehr gut.
Ralax lads. Im fed up of reading and hearing these kind of scaremongering stories coming up to every away game. There is no way the Germans are going to stop fans with legit tickets from enetering the stadium. When did any of ye ever hear of anything like this hapopening anywhere???? As for wearing gernman jerseys and covering up your Irish gear will ye get a grip.Quote:

Just wondering is anyone else making the trip to stuttgart from holland???
Im about to book my trip and it would appear I have an 8 hour train journey ahead of me. Was hoping others could help me turn the train into the fastest irish pub on wheels!?!?
This is not Dublin. Public transport exists. It is reliable, fast and cheap. You don't need taxis.Quote:

I stayed in this hotel for the England Ecaudor game. Sound hotel 5-10 mins by taxi to main square and right beside tram lines. Big, clean rooms. Cheap enough too.

Mention the cancellation, because I mentioned that I would put some mates on to the vacant room. Told them they would have no problem filling it.

No point in trying them. I was on the phone to them last Thursday and they had nothing left even though on their site it showed that there were still rooms available. Had an absolute nightmare trying to get a room. Got sorted in the end though! :DQuote:

3 of us staying in the Gastezimmer Stuttgart. Anyone else staying there, sounds ok but wouldnt take credit card for booking deposit.
Lads,
Was in the same position as everyone else.
Booked the flights in Feb, but forgot all about the hotel.
Logged onto bahn.de, used the hotel engine and got one booked in five minutes
The German media still have not copped on. There is a surprise in store for the natives.
"The natives of stuttgart count on the fact that about 20,000 Irish fans come. Of that 15,000 would not have tickets for the Daimlerstadion, which is already sold out."

Stuttgart (council) are also planning public viewing to replicate the world cup atmosphere.
