I'd say a lot of fans will only arrive the day of the match so hopefully tickets will still be available if they are only going to be sold on the ground in Mainz.

I arrive in Germany on the Thursday and I would be bored in the same place for 5 days. Going to go for Cologne Thursday night. Mainz for Friday and Saturday and the Stuttgart for Monday night, my SUnday is still up in the air.

Wiesbaden is just across the river from Mainz, you can stay in hotels there and walk (about 15 mins) to the center of Mainz...
Darmstadt, Koblenz, Frankfurt a/m, even Mannheim/Heidelburg are possible as places to stay.
Also those going from London, the trip is very much possible via Eurostar, Brussels, then Koln / Frankfurt. Total trip time about 6-7 hours.
Driving from London it would be about 500 miles and maybe 8 hours each way...
Think there is an overnight coach that goes from London to Frankfurt and takes about 14 hours ?
Count me amongst them! Just booked flights into Weeze from Shannon and coming back on the sunday from Frankfurt to Kerry.

Flying in on the saturday morning. It'll be tight. I'll be in Mainz no earlier than 3.30 maybe as late as 4.45.
Now to score digs and a ticket....

I live about two and a half hours drive from there. Might drive down and bring the tent with me. The only problem is that I have to catch a flight early the next morning from Düsseldorf to München.

You can make great savings on Trains if you book ahead rather than leave it to the day.

Hey, I wasn't trying to be sanctimonious or anything, just thought I'd remind that the circumstances are fairly ... fluid at the moment. Technically the trouble's supposed to be all over after all so FIFA could have been deliberately taking their time.Will ya get off the moral highground FFS. This is a football thread for Gods sake.
Wont somebody please think of the children!!
Anyway, that's off topic, it's all sorted & now we can look forward to a good start to our campaign & 3 tasty points on the table
Could I assume that those who applied for Georgia tickets have first call on the Mainz ones or is that too obvious ? bearing mind Georgia could well bring a few as they could use it as an opportunity to demonstrate to the world (well not quite the world) their opposition against 'russian aggression'
I was looking at the Hahn to Kerry flights this morning. €18 was tempting but decided spending Sunday drinking in Mainz was preferable to getting the train from Tralee up to Dublin.

What would be people's guess for the number of fans that were going to Tiblisi.

The FAI said 1,000.
I imagine those of us who had been offered Tbilisi tickets will get first grabs on Mainz. I hope so anyway. This has cost me enough.
I assume we will get one stand each. Easiest way to do segregation.
According to ticket office those wuith allocation for tbilisi have first shout on tickets

We booked JAT from Frankfort to Podgorcia last Tuesday, happy days, mind you was really looking forward to Tbilisi as missed it in 03. Maybe we'll get a friendly out there someday!

What day you going to Podgorica, Green? We're out on Sunday. Better times for flights than Tbilisi but would have loved to have gone there. I think we would have got a great reception if we'd gone there but unfortunately it really wasn't possible given the situation.
Roll on the wine festival and roll us out
