Game in Switzerland

**gspain** · 14/07/2003, 8:28 AM

No accomodation booked yet and I'm not certain that I can go yet due to other matters but if I go I'll head to Switzerland for the U21 game on the friday night (no venue yet) and stay down there.

Trains leave from Frankfurt airport so probably better to head off from there.

you can get the train from the Main Bahnhof. The bevvy will be much cheaper in Germany and I fancy the craic in Frankfurt for a night.

Do I have any chance of getting a ticket from somewhere other than the FAI or a tout who will charge a squillion swiss francs?

I would like to go but I fear the answer to the above might be no.

Please help

Joder! I went to book up a flight for an amigo to Strasbourg from Stansted and those Ryanair cabrones have dropped the price to 35p each way. After me paying �12:50.

I **** on their mothers' milk.

I just realised that too!
And I paid �14.99 and �19.99!

What accomodation have people arranged in Basel?

I have been informed that the tickets for the home support will go on sale via the website below. I have checked and they are not on there yet (though tickets for their friendly against France are on there). Unfortunately its in German/French, but Im sure you could work it out, might be worth a go.

Im keeping an eye on it, as I'll be trying it should I not get lucky from the FAI. Ill post any updates on here.

Lads on the sunday world on sunday there was a number on it. I gave them a call and the price for the trip is 489 euro and the match ticket is another 40 euro. The web site is www.celtichorizontours.com that is if you have that kind of cash to spend lads.

F.A.I. are charging �21 for a match ticket.

Be very very careful booking these overpriced trips with guaranteed tickets. I don't believe the F.A.I. are going to favour Travel Agents over fans. Many of these guys run trips and then try and source tickets. you'd be better off getting a cheap Ryanair or Aer Lingus flight and paying a tout if you have to - still saving money.

Just to back up gspain's point - that's a complete rip-off. I'm heading over with five others - we have flights, accommodation for six days and a car for the same period for E400.

Presume the chartered trip is the usual three day affair?

**pineapple stu** · 17/07/2003, 7:08 PM

That's 400 quid each like...not that cheap!

6 nights in Basel, AND flights and a car for �400???
Where are ye staying?

Mine is working out at just less than �300 (incl. flights and train) for 2 nights stay

Dunno - one of my best friends is from Basel and is arranging the whole thing. It's a hostel as far as I know. Plus she works in Hertz and might be getting a deal on the car...
