Yep...posted this earlier in the thread (somewhere!)....go to this website for a look:

http://www.campingplatz-stuttgart.de/

or email:

info@campingplatz-stuttgart.de

I mailed them a few weeks ago and they were very quick coming back with confirmation of a reservation for 5 of us.

Supposedly its only about 15 mins walk outside the city and, best of all, it works out at only €10 a night :D

So out of the 53,000 capacity how many tickets were "officially released" for Irish fans? And how many tickets were "unofficially obtained" by Irish fans?

Away supporters are entitled to 10% of the capacity of the ground so going on a capacity of 53,000 the FAI would have received 5,300 tickets from the DFB. It's much more difficult however to estimate how many Irish will be actually at the game. I'd say though that estimates of about 15,000 - 20,000 travelling would be about right with the majority of those managing to get tickets. Irish fans tend to very good at getting tickets for matches when there appear to be none.

Still searching for tickets. Got in early with cheap flights back in Feb but was on holiday when the eventim.de leak came out. Knocked back from FAI as well. Havent given up hope yet, any one know what the touts are likely to be charging?

Have the Germans any plans to replicate the fanzone areas like they had at the world cup?

A bloke I know paid �150 per ticket for 4 tickets from an internet tout over the weekend. These were eventim tickets and were �50 (approx) face value.

Sligoproud there is a rule/convention here on foot.ie and on other irish football websites that tickets may only be offered at face value.

if he paid 95e its only fair he sells it on for 95e. why should he make a loss?

I think this is a time where the principle has to be kept due to the fact if let go this time it could be open to abuse. I know in this case that the poster is likely to be legit but if you let it go this one time it could be open to abuse form many touts.

he paid 95 to a tout - which then starts a merry-go-round! i've paid high prices before so I understand where sligo is coming from - still we should stick to the principle of not allowing the sale of over face value

There is a group of seven of us booked into the Ritz Garni Hotel ( originally Hafner Garni....but they over-booked ) and we are approx. 10 km from centre.However, as the Metro system is very good, and there is a stop adjacent to our hotel, it's not a problem.....15 mins to city centre!!:)

Just to let people know that the metro system is pretty much non existant after midnight. Apparently though it kicks in again around 5am, so getting home from the night out will be fine :D

looks like the locals are getting excited !!

Hi,

I hope you already have your ticket, because referring to dfb.de the match is sold out.

I went to Stuttgart yesterday, and in some shops they already put out the Ireland and Germany jerseys in the shop windows. I guess it will be a great atmosphere that day!

here is the link

got 4 tickets yee haaaa

Just got 4 tickets off the german ebay site. I paid 390 euro for all four which is very good cause most of the auctions are ending up at 150 euro per ticket. The tickets are in block 33, hope we are not the only irish here, but who cares i will be there. Only need 8 more for the rest of the gang (but at least i am sorted).

Anybody looking for a ticket should check out the site (see below) loads of tickets on it!!!

http://search.ebay.de/deutschland-irland-stuttgart

When you are in the site right click and you should get an option to translate to english. And make sure they post to europe as some of them only post to germany.

Good luck everyone, see you in Stuttgart, come on you boys in green

Thats a great idea 'forever d', would hate to be turned away at the turnstiles with a forged ticket. Can you imagine the pain. Can someone please do that for us poor souls forced to pay over the odds on ebay.

I got 2 tickets off eventim and they look like the first link geysir put up.
The tickets on the second link look slightly different.
Mine have a bold type like the first.
The second seem to use a slightly different thinner type.
Might be nothing.

guys i will be shocked if there are forgeries about , but the eventin tickets do look a bit suss themselves, obviously its just the little barcode that is important

I was at Stuttgart with Celtic in 2003 and their were plenty of forgeries knocking about so beware! Also, there wasn't just one type of ticket format as it depends on where they are sourced. For example it wouldn't surprise me if the ones from the FAI allocation look completely different to the eventim ones.

Im going that route as well on the Friday morning, should be good craic. If we have enough Irish on the train we could take over a carriage and have a drinking session and a few songs. Anyone else heading to Stuttgart that way.

Know someone in Germany who told me the mayor announced there will be a big screen set up in the city centre as they are expecting a lot of fans in the city with no tickets. Presumably these will be mostly Germans tho as we have all their tickets! :D

I was there too mate, and I remember them opening the gates with barely a glance at tickets in people hands - you could probably have walked in ticket-less if you were in the middle of a group of people.

Are you Junior off the HB btw?
