[QUOTE=Jon'o]booked flights, seemed the cheapest option was stanstead to Karlsruhe Baden Baden for £126 stg... flying out saturday morn at 7am and returning sunday at 7pm (couldnt get any more time off work) anyone one else on this flight / route?
whats the story with the train? i have gone on to the german rail website and when i enter karlsruhe baden it comes up with a number of station options, does anyone know for sure what station i should be looking for? as far as i could make out it should be about 22/44 yoyo's return?
Has anyone flown into Karlsruhe-Baden with ryanair before? Getting in there myself on the saturday morning and, from what I can gather on the web, there's a bus connection from the airport down to Stuttgart. Anyone know about this, or how far it is from the airport to the nearest train station? Any help appreciated.
I might fly into Cologne, looking the cheapest option so far. 2 hours on the train I think
Flew into Karlsruhe-Baden for Basel 1, there is a bus connection that will get you into town, probably best to get the train to Stuttgart.
One bizarre thing is that there is no bus to the airport on Sunday, so you have to get a taxi, this might have changed since mind you. Airport is your typical Ryanair airport, middle of nowhere!!!!!
My tickets have arrived this afternoon, thankfully somebody was in for once to sign for em. I ordered them Friday so it's good service.
Thanks for that, sounds like i shouldn't be relying on the buses anyway!Originally Posted by Clipper
received application from fai today
3 categories of tickets - 37/27/22euros. Does this mean that Irish tickets may be in various parts of ground or just that there are better seats within the irish section?
suppose ill just go cat 4 (27euro) - hope the spares will be handy enough to offload!!!
Ill be looking for 2 spares if you have any. Thats if I can find any accomodation everything seems to be booked out!
My application form for tickets arrived from the FAI this morning. Prices 37, 27 or 22.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
same here
mine didn’t come. did anyone else not receive yet?
The cheapest seats are on the lower tier, see the stadium guide elswhere on the forum. From previous posts you seem to be best off in the mid or higher levels, i.e. not the cheapest seats!
Does that mean you are guaranteed tix from the FAI or just that you can apply for them and go in to the ballot?
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

They are also sending this email around at the moment
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP 2008 QUALIFYING FIXTURE
GERMANY V REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
SATURDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER 2006
VENUE: GOTTLIEB-DAIMLER STADIUM, STUTTGART
Dear Sir/Madam,
I refer to your request for an application form for the above fixture.
Due to the extensive number of people wishing to travel to this fixture and
the limited allocation of just 5,000 tickets, which is our 10% entitlement
as per FIFA rules, we regret to inform you that we are unable to meet your
request for tickets on this occasion.
It is an impossible task to satisfy the level of demand following our
contractual obligations and commitments to sponsors, partners, squad
members and those persons currently holding a block booking for all home
Internationals at Lansdowne Road which includes individual members of the
public, Clubs, Leagues and Affiliates.
We appreciate your disappointment. However as with all away games, the
number of tickets we receive is not within our control.
We have made a special request to the German FA for an additional
allocation of tickets and will not be made aware of the outcome of this
request until after the World Cup concludes. We believe that it is very
unlikely that we will receive further tickets. At this point I would like
to acknowledge and thank you for your continued support of the Irish Team.

So if we are getting 5,000 "official tickets" via the FAI, how many others have been purchased ( like many of us ) directly, through the back door!............another 5,000 or do we anticipate a Paris like invasion?
i reckon therll be a good crowd alright but i'd also imagine that many of the people applying to fai have already bought tickets through the german fa so some people will probably have ticket sto offload if theyre successful in the fai draw
I think 10k-15k, is a fair assumption. One of bigger games in the group, relatively easy to get to, tickets obtainable, post WC high, great feckin beer!!!!!!!
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

Lads If I was a block booker and I got that e mail I would contact the FAI. I think that e mail is meant for non block bookers and they may have made an admin error there. I am a block booker and I got the letter asking me to applyl for tickets. I am a blockbooker since 2002 but went to most home games before that.
j Byrne did you quote your blockbooking number on your e mail when you applied. I would contact them straight away if I was you. They have made admin errors in the past and will probably do so in the future.
In Trap we trust
