German Football Trip

You still looking at going to Dortmund?

If your going by Train (Which I advise) then go on Eurostar and it comes up with an availability calendar for the cheapest fares...So you click the date you want and a time, you should be able to get to Brussels for £49 ret. (If your all under 26 which I guess you are ;) )

The Eurostar ticket allows travel to any station in Belguim, so in our last trip we've used it to get to the Belguim/German border, then buy a ticket to cross the border. Once your in Germany you can buy a train ticket called a Schönes Wochenende (Happy weekend)/ Lander ticket (depends if you go on the weekend or not!). They cost 35 Euros for 5 people and allow travel on any german train expect the express trains. This is the cheapest way, but also very complex (I probably lost you a while back!!)

This time what we did was book Thalys, which is an express train from Brussels to Cologne, with single tickets as cheap as 15 Euros. Then you can go from Cologne to any major cities in Germany really. Link That is for German rail tickets, usually earlier trains are cheaper (Our return from Bochum - Brussels is at 6:50am!) but have a look around on there. I don't think you can buy the Schones or Lander tickets on there though, you have to get them from ticket machines at the station.

Another note, be carefull with the Thalys website, very temperamental and took us a good week before we managed to book ourselves on a train!

Bit of a delayed reaction but thanks for the help :thumbup: .

What would you recommend for accommodation?

We're thinking Monchengladbach v Bochum on the Friday, Leverkusen v Frankfurt on Saturday, and Dortmund v Bremen on the Sunday. Should we book match tickets in advance to pick up there, or just buy on the day?

Thats a good selection there ;) BGM vs Bochum shouldn't sell out but I'd try to get them in advance. (Go in the away end :P)

Leverkusen are playing in Dusseldorf (closer to Dortmund) and thats a 50'000 stadium so no chance of a sell out there. Dortmund will be very hard to get standing tickets for, maybe impossible. Deffo book in advance for this. If you want terrace tickets then yeah book ahead.

For accodmodation we just use mainstream hotels (Staying in Ibis this weekend) usually quite cheap.

And I leave tonight. Enjoy Swindon at home ladies :crylaugh:

I HAVE to go to a Pauli match.

Think I need re-learn German. Should have kept it up to at least GCSE level. I've forgotten most of it now. :whistle:
