Buy a normal ticket D�sseldorf-Basel and a Click&Rail ticket Z�rich-D�sseldorf, which will be via Basel.

When are you flying back?

Will that be enough?

Departure Basel SBB 14.17 / Basel Bad Bf (German railway station) 14.25
Arrival D�sseldorf 19.31

You can already book the Click&Rail ticket now (CHF 45.-).

flight departs 20.25 - I'm on the same one.

19.31 into Dusseldorf is very tight - it's 10 minutes to the airport from the main railway station although the station there is just outside arrivals and one floor down on the lift from departures.

Aer Lingus depart from Terminal B with checkin normally around Desk 140 - which is to your right as you enter if you've just come up on the lift from the train station.

German trains are great but that is still very risky.

well if we're not there will you hold it for me !

seriuosly havent booked it yet, are we better booking an earlier train

Here's my final report on the Faroes tickets sale for those who sent me tickets:

There was only limited interest in the match (attendance was merely 13,000). I managed to sell part of the tickets anyway and raised CHF 150.-, which will be transferred to M�decins sans fronti�res on Monday.

Thanks Volltreffer for getting rid of those tickets for a good cause.

No, you can't.

**macdermesser** · 07/09/2004, 1:18 PM

I don't know if there is a consensus about the best bars in Basel are for tomorrow night? The italian bar sounds interesting ..

I was there last time too .. started in Paddy Reillys but it was too expensive .. and one of the guys behind the bar tried short changing me, which was cue to leave. Met some swiss and ended up going on a crawl ... but naturally can't remember the names of the places they brought us too. But plenty of irish singsongs in every bar we went to.

Thanks to Volltreffer for this link a while back .. which might be of use to some others. .. see the sights of the city before the match and have a few drinks on the way
