Germany away (2 September 2006) - all info in this thread

**joe_barry80** · 05/07/2006, 3:09 PM

Anyone who bought tickets on eventim.de what section are you in? I got my tickets for section 66 E I hope I'm not in with a load of bratwursts.

**galwayhoop** · 05/07/2006, 3:12 PM

block 66c. think most of section 66 was snapped up by paddys before fritz copped on so there may be very few brothwurths and frauline's in this section

i will be back on if your quote is grossly inacurate

Sent them a mail last week and booked for under 10 Euro a night!!!

Now all I have to do is find some tickets!

that�s a stone throw away from the stadium and my local ... it�s a 5 minute walk up the road from the stadium

btw, those who are flying to baden baden, have some time and want to save a bit of money ... ask for a baden w�rttemberg ticket at the desk ... it allows you to use 'local" trains in baden w�rttemberg, costs 25 or 30 � and is valid for up to 5 people ... it wont cost u more than say 20 mins from karlsruhe to stuttgart

Yeah I've been looking at that for a while but I'd rather fined out sooner rather than later as I need to organise some stuff.

Its 163 miles and according to autoroute a 2 1/2 hr drive. Even with 30 on a coach it would probably be far cheaper than hiring cars and more crack!!

just to get an idea, wat time are people generally landing in Hahn?

im due in at 4.30

Jens, does this one ticket cover 5 people ??? There are 8 of us going over & we haven't sussed out yet how we are getting from baden-baden airport into stuttgart. Is there a train staion at the airport?

**monkey magic** · 05/07/2006, 3:58 PM

lads, just out of interest theres a few of us livin in belgium at the mo, thinkin of driving down, maybe camping... only kinda of decided we might go in the last few days, whats the ticket situation??? or is that a stupid question?

**Junior** · 05/07/2006, 4:08 PM

5,000 offical Tickets will get snapped up by corporate or Block Bookers.

An estimated 5,000-10,000 tickets have been purchased by Irish for other sections of the ground. It depends on how many of those tickets have been purchased by fans who will also get allocated tickets from the FAI and will then look to offload the ones in the German sections.

If you have a Belgium address, keep an eye out on www.eventim.de as small numbers of tickets seem to appear on there every so often. Thats where we all bought ours before they sussed it and stopped shipping to Ireland and UK!!

**Armando** · 05/07/2006, 4:08 PM

9 of us in 66c row 38.

**monkey magic** · 05/07/2006, 4:25 PM

**supasparx** · 05/07/2006, 5:11 PM

2 of us in 66c row 50

naw, its a small, crappy airport ... there should be a bus there tho ... just dont spend any time or money in baden baden or karlsruhe, promise me that

it covers up to 5 and is 25 € at the machine and 27 € at the desk ... theres some restrictions what trains you can use tho, but itll be hardly relevant for you

gimme your arrival time and ill work something out for you

Dublin to Stansted is with Ryanair, but Stansted to Stuttgart is with German Wings, no messing around with buses and trains.
