Application form arrived this morning

I got mine as well, hopefully all the people getting tickets in the German sections will reduce demand!

contacted the fai and all sorted. form on the way. was an error on my part due to my applying under my own name rather than my brothers whose name is down as blockbooker. in fairness to the ticket office i always find them helpful and very responsive. have block booked since 1992 match V USA (first BB match) so would have been disgusted if I hadnt even been given a chance to enter the ticket raffle

Tickets sorted today. Happy days!

Lads,
is there any way to get the DHL number without ringing the German ticket office? I don't want them to cop I'm Irish etc. and pull my tickets back. I've emailed their help desk twice but got no reply. Called DHL and they said they cannot trace without AWB number.

Would suggest that you have nothing to lose at this stage by ringing the Eventim Customer Service. If your tickets have already been sent they will be with DHL and traceable. If they haven't even sent them yet and are no longer sending to addresses in Ireland then it doesn't matter.

You should recieve an email when they have been sent saying they have been sent. This email gives you the DHL trace number

While having a nose on ebay at the german touts selling tickets for the game i noticed that one also advertised that the tickets came with free travel before and after the game....

on further investigation it would seem true i asked the lad who was selling the tickets about the travel and this is what he came back with:

Ticket holders are allowed to use the regional public transport network of VVS 3 hours before the game, and also until midnight after the game. VVS covers the greater Stuttgart area with bus, tram and underground lines. The above mentioned conditions are printed on every ticket, in case there should be any doubts. It is a standard service for big concerts, open airs and major sporting events in Germany in order to encourage spectators to use public transport instead of cars and vans. If you are traveling to the game by car/van/bus, the best bet would be to park at a so called Park and Ride stop, and then use the public transport system.

Sold Out notice on eventim.de website

The free transport thing was the case when I was there with Celtic in 2003. Though to be honest when you have 15k-20k fans on an away trip, paying for your underground tickets rarely seems to happen

True! I can remember getting the metro from near the James Joyce in Paris and fans were just trotting past the poor ticket guy who was completely powerless. One of my mates was so bananas drunk he went off to pee near the track line (the toilet looked like the one from Trainspotting) only to be quickly reminded of the health implications of urinating onto an electrified line

Thats a feature of the Bundesliga and the regional leagues there, match ticket entitles travel on the day of and up to 3 am on the day afterwards. Very well organised indeed.

Does anybody have any idea what time kick off is going to be for the upcoming Germany match in September? Or does anybody know when the the time is planned to be released?

Welcome Murty.

Yes - if you know anybody that lives outside of the Republic of ireland and can receive the tickets for you to their address. Plenty of time to get them sent from anywhere in the world but you must act fast to order them before they are sold out. Once ordered they'll have them in a couple of weeks max.

**Golfer** · 28/06/2006, 1:12 PM

Does anyone have the Eventim customer number?
Ordered tickets on the 16th no show.
Gave my Irish address. Reading the posts it looks like some people ordered after this date and got their tickets.

There was still tickets available yesterday so I ordered 3 to be sent to my Aunts adddress in England and they processed it sent me 2 emails confirming.

**anto88** · 28/06/2006, 1:25 PM
