UEFA are some geniuses in fairness. First sell the tickets months in advance, get the cash then. Then for those who dont want the tickets charge a very handsome sell on fee. make a profit on the same tickets, twice basically.
Heard tonight that the travel agents packages are almost certainly going to be 1700 for 2 games and 2500 for 3 games, excl the price of tickets.
Same thing happened me, the tickets are in my account, but no email.. Not in spam folder either. Have you got email since?Quote:

(Although the sack may not be closed and the tickets are scurrying around inside the bag...)Quote:

Also I have heard alot of people say that many hotels are refusing to provide quotes until the new year. More capacity may come about with these hotels when the travel agents have filled their lot. To ease the cost of the trip, alot of lads are looking to base themselves in places like Torun in between the games. You can get a four star there for about 80 per night.Quote:

Being quoted about the same in Poznan for 3 nights around the Italy game but there definitely appears to be alot more availabilty appearing in poznan than in Gdansk. Many places telling me to come back to them in February when they expect some availability to have come up for June.
The prices the travel agents are charging are unreal. 1495 is the cheapest two game package I saw and thats without tickets and you are not even based in the host cities. Plus flying out the night of the Italy match!!
and its sold out i believe!Quote:

Obviously we won't be able to just pull up outside the approapriate nightclub and fall back into it afterwards!! Any information is appreciated.
might find something here (Polish Federation of Camping)...Quote:

If you ignored the Spain game and just concentrated on the other two, you could stay in Germany where there's loads of accommodation in several cities, and just make your way in/out for the Poznan games. It is awkward admittedly, but the whole trip is awkward however it's done. Anyone who forks out 1500 for a package, before other costs, should ask if it's really worth it.
at least half the attraction of these tournaments is being in the host country at the time and in the match cities preferably the night before and after our matches. basing yourself in Germany and undertaking a large amount of travel for each of the matches diminishes the tournament experience imo. anyone at WC 2002 who experienced the nights japan and korea were playing will understandQuote:
