Vienna's in Austria; Bratislava's in Slovakia.
However, if you're flying Ryanair, they're the same thing - they call it Vienna, but it is in fact Bratislava and you're supposed to commute. Except that it works out handier this way for once.
If it's any use to you, I got a train from Bratislava to Vienna this past summer, and it was handy enough. The only hassle was swapping trains at the border...and that the train on the Slovakian side had no air-conditioning...and that the train staff spoke absolutely no English and me no Slovakian.
Booked flights from amsterdam to Bratislava (Thur )and return to stansted Mon for the cost of taxes only.
Just need cheap flight to Amsterdam and from Stansted. The times are also pretty handy for preceeding and follow up flights. Air Berlin times dont suit.
Should have mentioned this was with Sky Europe.Originally Posted by Newryrep

Anybody got info on the venue? How many tickets will we get allocated? A few friends were asking me about this one. Sitting in the home end wont be an option I'd imagine.
Venue info in the thread summaries thread in this forum. Tickets 10% of capacity, I would imagine.
the slovalian fans have a very hostile rep, i wonder if they be out for beatings or banter??,
Ryanair Bratislava
Ryanair have put their Bratislava flights up for Thursday 6th September and Saturday 8th September at a current cost of 39.99 each way excluding taxes. The flight leaves Dublin @ 5.55 a.m on the Thursday.
I've just booked the flight out as I'm going on to Prague for the Czech Republic. The flight cost me 70.53 including taxes, handling charge and 1 bag.
Just for information I am doing the return from Prague on the 14th September with Skyeurope to Brussels for 35.23 and from there with Aer Lingus to Dublin for 85.52

Is this really the case ? I have booked this weekend with the soon to be wife and was hoping to get tickets in the slovak end if the FAI dont come through.
I dont want end up in a dodgy situation.
I wouldn't be too concerned. There were certainly problems when England played there and i believe when Russia did too recently. However in both cases it was locals feeling they had to demonstrate their hooligan capabilities.
2 people I know well from Limerick were there when Rangers met Artmedia and there were no problems whatsoever if you don't count serious alcohol abuse. I don't recall any issues when celtic went there either.
I was there last year unfortunately in a week with no football on however I had a couple of long chats with a hotel concierge who is a keen Artmedia fan. He wouldn't go to Trnava v Artmedia anymore due to serious hooligan issues. He didn't expect any problems for the Irish game even from the Trnava fans assuming the game is played there.
The away game I'd be most concerned about it all kicking off at is Wales.
i doubt there will be trouble with the welsh, granted cardiff have a "firm" of hooligans but id say it will be fine..Id be more worried about the slovakian friends, and would deffo not go near the slovak end, i was in the german end in stuttgart, and it was fine, but there ar alot of facist hooligans in slovakia, that wont need any excuse. Just to be cautious though dont go to the slovakian end!!
I wouldn't be concerned about the home end in Slovakia.
We're no challenge to the local hooligans. We are not going to offend them.
I'm more cocnerned re thwe Welsh game as Cardiff and Swansea are 2 of the worst clubs in the UK to visit as an away fan. There were some "issues" when Northern Ireland played in Cardiff. Some of the singing in Germany in the pubs and on the street would definitely provoke a reaction in Cardiff.
I still think we'll be all right but this is the one I'd be cocnerned about of our fixtures this year.
Lads thanks for the info
will risk it if dont get an FAI ticket
Good spot. E49.99 now. Myself and Bald Student are booked in.

Just Startin to get this trip organised was wondering has anyone looked at the hotel situation or know of any hotels located Centrally in Slovakia for this match?
Any help would be greatly appreicated!
Cheers

See the thread summaries thread for some ideas.
E119.99 now to Bratislava...
No accommodation booked either in Bratislava or Prague. If you're doing both matches arrange the flights first and accommodation can be arranged later.
At the rate the Ryanscare flights are rocketing to Bratislava do it soon
