I know �135 is at the upper end of the market but it is still available and central. We got it for �77 a couple of weeks ago.

Came across this site earlier. It's an england supporter's website which has been created for the World Cup. Anyway they have information on each of the match venues and cities including Stuttgart. Some handy information on it like how to get to the ground etc. The only down side is that you're reminded, yet again, that we're not going to be there (until September anyway).

Germany have apparently lost their last 4 home games in Stuttgart. Italy, Argentina, France and Brazil have all won there.

Even Scotland have won in Stuttgart in 1957.

This just gets better and better. :)

Cheaper return flight on Monday 4th Sept from Stuttgart appeared on hlx.com, so current return price for Fri-Mon is around �250.

I see that generous travel agency that is 747 travel are looking for �700 for 2 nights in a three star hotel. But hey you get the presence of the highly conscientious and hard working 747 ground staff. Well it has to be worth it then, doesn't it???

Their making some profit. Traveled with 747 to Paris. Never again. Shower of cow boys Ted. The PM has listed before all the hassle we had with them. i won't bother repeating it, it would only pi$$ me off

Not arguing with your opinion. :D

However that must be Treacy's cheapest trip for a while.

Remember the Faroes and insurance....the only pepolp who got paid on their travel insurance were those with annual insurance that was not sold through travel agents!! I was one of the lucky few..even got the price of my match ticket back....makes Rays free insurance look worthless. I paid about �100 for 2 adults 2 kids for the year.

just as a matter of interested how many people traveling will have travel insurance. Didn't bother with it when i went to paris. i know we should have got it. any ideas where to get good cheap insurance for this trip? doubt it would be worth my while getting vhi or credit union annual type

Yep,
Loudy MacLoud and myself are staying in
G�stehaus Arbeiterbildungszentrum, Bruckwiesenweg 10, 70327 Stuttgart.

Twin room for 3 nights cost �156.00

Not really sure where that is exactly but apparently its beside the metro that
goes out to the stadium.

I got it from one of the tourist advice websites in this thread, cant remember
which. I actually forgot that I had accomodation booked!

Ok T but don't come looking to me for elusive tickets!

Working on organising a bar to accomodate us without jacking up the prices. Apparently the Stutgart business have only just realised what is about to invade their city.

Not trying to stalk yez or anything ;) but myself and schumi are staying in the same place now. Still the same price. Schumi's arriving a day earlier than me (Friday afternoon v Saturday morning), so I presume I'll find yez coming out of the Rumplestiltskin Leverkusen with drunken red faces and a few crates of beer like the last time?:D
