Right how do I kop hold of some tickets for this by hook or crook. I won't have enough priority points to get one in my own name and I assume its ticket collection in the city itself so that rules that out. I'll have to pretend to be a scout won't I? 

 

Also I've not had the booster as got covid in late Dec/early Jan and didn't have a PCR either as that was about to be scrapped. Can someone confirm if I am still OK to enter France as I had the 2nd jab in late July so less than 270 days ago. 

 

Cheers

It will get down to members easily. So assuming you have a ST or membership, you'll have no problem.

Found decent flights from Manchester to Paris Beauvais

 

£27 ret Wed-Fri

 

The bloody train from Paris to Rennes costs 3 times that though- assuming they’re not on strike

Really want to avoid Paris if I can. For many reasons. Train prices being one of them.

Yeah, Wednesday nights not something me and my mate can do

 

Was just putting it out there for others

 

Lets hope Sport Ops come up trumps

Cheers I’ve just booked these for £24. Not 100 % going to go yet but couldn’t really not book them at that price.

I think that still counts me out, I didn't bother with the international membership as it doesn't give access to tickets, so unless ST holders are able to get extras it will be the home end for me

Depends how much you want to go in terms of spending what is essentially dead money.

 

What I mean is, you could get a membership for £30.

 

Then buy an away ticket (Burnley) so that you fill the requirement of having at least 1 ticket on your account history. 

 

For some reason,  lcfc insist that you have a booking history of atleast one. You don't actually have to go to Burnley, but it gets you the point.

 

It's dead money, because you probably won't benefit from either the membership or the Burnley ticket, but it will open up the opportunity for a Rennes ticket

I've booked Gatwick - Nates.

 

Arrive Thursday morning leave Saturday morning.

 

Booked hotels too.

 

Still under £100 with flights and hotels booked.

Doing Wednesday to Saturday Stanstead into Nantes. Flights about £23 in total. 

I got in on this one, whilst it was still £23 too! 

[moore_94]

Those doing Gatwick to Nantes on the Wednesday, are you going to stay in Rennes?

 

If so, what train are you looking at?

[CastagnesLasagnes]

Assuming this has been asked multiple times but seems to have evaded me ... am i right in thinking that as I had my second jab 6 months ago (between 0-270 days) I dont need to do any test etc to get in? Also - anyone have any idea what Frances covid restrictions are like atm ... had a google and were all contridicting!

 

Booked on Stanstead to Nantes - Weds to Friday!

Bargain isn’t it 

 

Not really sure why my mate can’t just bin off his bloody Ascot trip 😂

[ousefox]

Will Rennes sell out their end?

I was on same boat as you so I’ve just had the 3rd jab now cause I think you can enter France like that but hospitality might be 4 months gap. God knows tho!

Yeah definitely I’m waiting on sport options before booking trains etc to see if they come up with anything. 
 

Does anyone know what sport options usually charge ?

They’ve quoted £350 from EMA- Munich for Germany away.

 

Thats a bit steeper than usual.
 

My mates paid £300 or slightly under for Atletico away 

 

Itll be £300 give or take a few quid.

 

That’s assuming there’s enough interest from us all to put one on- so far this season they haven’t done so for Leicester 

[Ian Nacho]

Gatwick - Nantes then train to Rennes. Flight prices have nearly tripled in a few hours so £200 return.

Cheers,  I presume we’re talking there and back in a day for £300 ?

I think I’m going to end up around the £300 mark with trains, accommodation and airport parking on top of the flights.  So hopefully sport options do a trip, I’ve emailed them to go on the mailing list.

 

[RonnieTodger]

How many do we reckon we’ll take? I think the hassle will put a few off

My tickets for that flight jumped up £20 in the few minutes it took to go back from just before paying to add someone else

 

Got £100 return per person with seats booked, 2 cabin bags each, and insurance so still not too bad

[adejo92]

I am on the 07:30 Gatwick flight on the Thursday Morning.

 

Might have space for 2, maybe 3, in the car getting there and back if you are on that flight and the Saturday morning return.

 

Would work out cheaper than a taxi!

 

Will know nearer the time.
