    has kick-off time been set for the game yet? they usually don't have to set it until 60 days before the game i think. what time of day do the slovaks usually play their games?

    reason being we are thinking of flying into budapest on friday and staying the night and then getting the hydrofoil boat up to bratislava on saturday! purely for the novelty factor. the boat leaves about 8am and gets into bratislava at about 13.30.

    where is the stadium from central bratislava?

    The kick off time has not yet been set and the game will most likely be played in Trnava (have a look at the away match thread summary for info )

    Looks a excellant hotel.Its a little bit out from the city but transport should be cheap.

    I should have known we were in trouble when I saw our hotel was near Bear's hotel. Strongly worded letters on their way to Bear and AidoM

    No Joe Dolan for Bear on this trip!!

    Cut the crap NOW!

    Anyone remember how long before the away matches that FAI supply applications for tickets at the away matches, (or when they will send out applictions for the 2 qualifiers in September)

    And I presume it's not much of a risk booking flights now and ending up with no tickets???? is it?

    Bang on. If you're travelling to games on a regular basis you can't afford to wait until you have the match ticket in your hand. If you want the best deals on flights and accomodation, generally you need to book as far in advance as possible (normally we book our trips 10 - 12 months in advance). 9 times out of 10 we have our match tickets by the time we're travelling so generally it works out fine. Having said that this is a very attractive double header and demand will exceed the amount of tickets that the FAI are given.

    If you are very very very stuck for tickets I slightly advise you to use this website.

    Is this not illegal?

    as a last resort, someone wassaying ya can buy tickets on the slovakian/czech ticket master for the games...hopefully will get sorted through other channels before resorting to touts...

    tried the czech ticketmaster & no sign of anything.

    that tout site probably doesn't have tickets yet but will take your money on the contingency that they can find tickets, and get you tickets if they find some. if they don't, i don't know what you could do. they probably give you your money back (maybe). it's probably legal if they sell you tickets at face price, but charge an agency or finders fee for the service they are providing, or at least if that's what they say they're doing. anyway, it might not be illegal to sell tickets on at above face value in those countries
    Superdave to the resc....
