Aarhus to Randers is 25 mins by train and costs about 10 quid. Unless you arrive on match day and are in a rush, Aarhus is the place to be. Randers is a city that gets ridiculed by many Danes for its shitness and I’m not even exaggerating there There are some decent little pubs in Aarhus too. Randers doesn’t offer the same at all

Alternatively fly to Hamburg and get the train!

Yeah I've done that journey. But in the opposite direction. One of only a few trains in the world that board a boat. Very novel.

Been to Aarhus previously and really liked it. Has a number of nice bars if you’re into your craft beer.

Really wanting to go to this one but starting to doubt if tickets will even reach members.

Same.
 

Pleasantly surprised (but selfishly disappointed) it seems like it’ll sell out at all STH.

Yeah I wanna go, I'm next one up from all STH and I think I'll struggle. Can see it being really popular. May have to hit the Randers FC forums and offer dirty money for one in the home end. Maybe just maybe the club will prioritize the group away game attendees but not holding my breath.

[grobyfox1990]

This was the only team I didn’t want in the draw and wasn’t bothered about going to but looks like I’m alone in that sentiment. Hopefully smash them and get fenerbahce, tel aviv, Qarabag, partizan, Gent, Roma, feyenoord next round

Think I'm going to wait until I know if I can get a ticket and then worry about flights and hotels.

 

There's absolutely no way a club like ours even considers priority or fan relations. 

 

Those who have made the difficult trips will be forgotten and it will be down to away point power again.

 

If it wasn't so near Christmas,  I wouldn't mind risking the money on flights etc but can't justify it currently.

 

Worse case, i'll wait until we get a team bigger than Coalville Town (no disrespect to Coalville Town) and try and get tickets for that game.

Colin Todd had two spells as manager.

Probably wise (although I have booked).  I went to Warsaw and Naples and probably won't get a ticket for this. No recognition for the effort and cost of a European trip.

To be fair, if (and a big if) we get through, the next possible opponents are far more easiest to travel to and other than LASK, allocations much bigger. 
 

@VinceNoira bit of help on getting to CPH from Aarhus, I read three possible methods. 
- Train, approx £50, unless you get an advance ‘Orange ticket’ 

- Flixbus, 4hrs approx, £9, via road 

- then Kombardo Expressen, same price and time as flixbus but part of the journey is across water, do you get out of the bus on the ferry ? 

[Lcfc_lass10]

Decided to go via Copenhagen for this. Fly out from Stansted on the Tuesday to Copenhagen, then get the bus to Randers on the Wednesday. Back to Copenhagen on the Friday for the last night. 
 

The bus is about 4 hours but for £32 all in you can’t really complain. 

[CosbehFox]

If you want any confidence that it’s not a total write off wanting a ticket, Ryanair’s planes carry about 200. You only have to do the math to work out that at very most we have 400 going to Aarhus. Can we see 400 coming via the other routes? 

[The Year Of The Fox]

Started to regret booking this to be honest 😂

 

Will have only lost £50 for the flights as we booked really soon after the draw. 
 

Will see how I feel closer to the time

Yeah I can personally 

 

Some like the challenge of getting there don’t they 😅

Aalborg, Billund & Copenhagen have all been mentioned.

 

Aalborg will be just as popular as Aarhus I think, especially due to the flight cost difference. 

 

I get what your saying though, very much depends on number of tickets. If its in the 500 region I think it will sell out easily unlike if there are 800 odd.

 

You also have all of those who will buy a ticket incase they decide to go thus denying those that actually want to go the opportunity.

Warsaw was a direct flight, cheap and we took 800. I get the worry about their fans there but equally now is Christmas. 
 

As along as there is no charter trip, that immediately takes the top 200 to 250 flask army lot 

[Foxes1]

Anyone think some might buy tickets for our home game.

No regrets!

Flights have gone up to Aarhus to over £300 wed-Fri!

Edited 14 December 2021 by foxes61

[KrefelderFox666]

So I have booked a hotel in Aarhus. Randers was not really an option, expensive and a boring place (compared to Aarhus anyway).

 

Therefore I will arrive in Aalborg Thursday morning, get a train to Aarhus (travelling through Randers), check in, go to match from Aarhus, then back to Aarhus after the match. I have made life a little difficult but better than leaving it tight arriving in Aarhus 3 hours before KO. I then need to travel from Aarhus to Billund the next day.

 

Any Danish residents able to advise on best train ticket to buy? Is it all single journeys? Can I get a day pass (or similar) to make it easier? Plenty of time to research yet though.

Demand drives prices. I am sure it will come down again, in particular New Year. The good thing is that there are other airports within easy reach so you are not limited to Aarhus.

Do winners in this playoff round face the group winners in the next round? Sorry for what appears to an easily googleable question, but I can’t find the answer to it!
