It will be the afternoon of the match and maybe after as well - buses will be leaving from the party to the stadium and then back to Bari train station/beach after the match :cool:Quote:

Last minute decision to go but just secured flights for 4 of us flying from Dallas Tx. Staying in Rome on Saturday and Sunday night and then on to Bari on Monday. We are staying till friday. Cant find any accomadation. Does anyone know of any apts and or hotels in Bari that are available. Any help would be great.
my advice would be not to panic book. there'll be some hotels re-offering availability when the package deals for this trip aren't all sold out.Quote:

worth emailing the hotels on this list, they may still have availability
http://www.enit.it/alberghiris.asp?Lang=UK&ID=83
I have had a good look- appears to be no vacancies within a 15k radius of Bari- Anyone any idea how many Irish are expected? I heard 5k- would have thought it would be closer to ten- Anyone any idea on what Bari is like? Pubs clubs etc.....
Go back the thread. Page 31 post 602 is of particluar interest I think.Quote:

Presume a letter. I don't remember giving c/c details on the initial applicationQuote:

Someone sent me enquiry re. Bari accomodation.
Can you re-send PM ASAP!
Is anyone else finding www.fai.ie/tickets the site given to confirm isn't working???
Wait until we see where we're sitting before saying it's great value. We'll be behind the goals and with a running track around the pitch, if you're pretty blind like me, you'll need somebody standing beside you narrating the action on the pitch!Quote:

I assume the handling charge is the usual €2. This means the Italians are charging a tenner a head for the tickets. This is double what the Montenegran FA charged. Ripoff merchants. :D
you could try the boston hotel in bari from hotels.com or booking.comQuote:

I did check but none of us can remember where it was. The campsite came out of a book as the internet was pretty limited in those days. Just check Puglia region rather than Bari itself.

i cant believe with only 5,000 or so going that there wont be accommodation available. id say a lot of agents block booked hotels but wont be able to fill them. id say stuff will become available in the next week or twoQuote:

If you stay outside Bari transport can be bad - not easy to move around :(
5 of us headin for Bari on the Sunday evening and will be staying in the Boston hotel, if anyone is around these nights let me know and we can go on the lash.
Are taxis easy to come across?Quote:

No idea if that's 'good value', but think we're paying €55-60 ourselves.....
