yeah a change to the title would be good
Slovak rail - ZSR.
Regular trains from Bratislava to Trnava for the match - only takes 45 minutes or so.
Also regular trains from Bratislava to Prague - takes four or five hours, depending on the number of changes you make.
tickets for this one
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just found this site
/www.ticketportal.sk/
It might be usefull if tickets are in short supply.Looks like its the slovakian version of (greman eventim) Once I logged on it was allowing me buy tickets for the Slovakia v Germany game
tried registering wit this crowd but when i entered my address,etc it came up
PSČ NIEJE V SPRÁVNOM FORMÁTE.
Any ideas wot im doin wrong. def looks like the site to get tickets from tho
Ryanair don't fly to Vienna direct. To Bratislava go to www.skyeurope.com direct from Dublin and Ryanair go direct to Bratislava also from Dublin. Aerlingus goes to Vienna cheap enough from Dublin. You can go through Luton, Stansted also. Trains up to Prague are every hour and a half take around 4 - 5 hours. These 2 cities are dodgy enough with pick pockets e.t.c. I know it will be hard to keep your wits about you when your ****ed up.:D
I saw some of the highlights of the Slovakia Germany game. Plenty of empty spaces. According to reports about 10,000 empty seats and this is in their biggest game after the Czechs and after an excellant away win.
4 of us booked dub-vienna 55euro each one way with aer lingus on 7sept..sort return from prague at later date with other airline hopefully(151 euro one way at moment with aer lingus) they were not long bumping that one up:mad:
3 of us booked out on the 6th on that vienna flight for 55 each and we booked the prague return on the 13th for 150 each just cause its only bound to go up in price and rather get it sorted at this stage.. booked lovely apartments in bratislava and prague as well cheap enough ..
I've gone for the €55 flight with Aer Lingus to Vienna as well. The game is so long away for booking but that price wasn't going to be available for long. Booked my seat as well. 4A is mine!
Nice to get into Vienna early enough at 11:00 on the Friday giving a bit of time to explore before crossing over the border to Bratislava and Trnava.
Can't seem to get a price from Aer Lingus for return out of Vienna the following week. Looks like its too early to book (330 days max advance). What return flight did you book ZZ?
Just booked a flight out to Vienna on September 6th for 55 quid too. 1 night in vienna and then down to Bratislava for 3 nights til Monday. Got a train from Vienna to Bratislava last year while interrailing. Best train journey ever....really comfy and only an hour. Very strange going through border control on arrival though.
On the subject of buying tickets for the Slovakian areas of the ground, I've only been to two away qualifiers where I've been in with the home supporters (Switzerland and Germany) and had no trouble at either game myself, although I did hear of a few Irish fans that got a bit of hassle when Morrisson scored in Basle. I don't know however how comfortable I'd be at the prospect of getting tickets for the home end for either the game in Slovakia or the Czech Republic for that matter. I just think that at times the same rules don't apply for some of the ex-soviet states that might apply to the other teams in UEFA with regard to issues such as crowd control and the tolerance of racism although they do appear recently to be trying to take action on this front. Also, I've been to see Ireland play in Latvia, Estonia and Russia and while I would not have had a problem being in the Estonian end for that match I don't think I'd have been too keen on being in with the home support for the other two. To be honest I'm not basing this on anything concrete or specific regarding either the Slovakian or the Czech home support, it's more just a general impression that I have of some of the nations in eastern Europe with regard to their football. If anyone knows anything on the subject I'll be happy for them to put me to the wise.
My wife is Czech and I've been to a lot of Czech matches, there fans ain't too bad, but they've some bad eggs too (especially Sparta fans), and the Slovaks are a definite no go
Czech airlines are 137 euro Prague-Dublin on 13 Sept. Only a few pints difference between them and aer lingus.
Yeah booked to go out on the Thursdsay too to Vienna, should be a good trip. Still have not figured when or where I will get back from. May be Berlin on the following Friday. Oh my Liver.
i see the aerlingus price to vienna one/way on the friday (7th) is up , albeit slightly to €80 (all in)
just got in on time myself to book it at the cheaper rate :)
Prague- Belfast only 57 euro on 13 Sept with jet2. com
Unfortunately have already booked myself with czech airlines(double that):mad: :mad:
ouch...flights to vienna up by a ton
flights are shooting up. bout 150 now dublin vienna. glad i got it for 55!!!!
Same here, maybe there were a limited number of e55 seats on the flight and they sold out fairly quickly. If Aer Lingus really wanted to they could have started the seats at e150, they would have been well aware that people were watching the 330 day window to open to book as early as possible.
Also if anyone is coming back from Prague with Cze Airline, select Czech republic as the point of sale, the price will be quoted in Czech but it seems cheaper than the ones quoted in Euro, I got it for approx e135
BTW- this look like a nice way to get from Vienna to Bratislava, a boat down the Danuabe, Twin City Liner
Both Ryanair and Sky Europe fly to Bratislava so maybe worth holding off to see if you can get deals here rather than book Aer Lingus now.
They weren't available last week when I booked Aer Lingus. Fair play to them for keeping the cheap fares open.
I'm coming back on the Sunday and going back out to Prague on the Wednesday. My liver wouldn't stand up to it otherwise. :D
the only prob with waiting for ryanair is that they admit themselves that their cheap fares aren't available for big sporting events
Lads if yez don't mind the stop-over SkyEurope are still doing cheap flights from Stansted to Bratislava. Booked mine for the Thursday (6th Sept) for £20 including taxes....not too bad at all considering the direct flight from Dublin is now up around €150...
Hibs4ever - why so ?, i am thinking of booking this with the fiancee and hoping to get tickets somehow (ebay if i dont get an away allocation) but dont want to take her somewhere if it is going to be a bit dodgy. Cant make the czech trip later in the week due to time off/cost implications so was thinking of this weekend.
We have this trip (double header to Slovakia and the Czech Republic) fully organised now. For direct flights into Vienna and out of Prague plus 7 nights accommodation in decent city centre apartments in Bratislava and Prague we paid just under €500. Happy enough with that. From what we saw it appears that apartments are definitely the way to go.
I just went on to Google and typed in "apartments Bratislava" and loads of options came up. The minimum stay varies but generally it's a couple of nights. Most of them will fit anywhere from 2 to 8, although there are a few larger ones, but remember that would would involve a few people to a room (maybe even 2 to a bed which unless the missus is going along could prove to be problematic to say the least). There's 3 of us going so we got a 3 bedroom apartment so we each have our own space. This is working out at €120 for the apartment per night.
