World Cup 2006 Germany - Information

The_Realist

I managed to get a pair of tickets for RA-WB in Stuttgart (wohoo!!) although they are restricted view. Looks likely to be England/Swedan v Germany/Poland. Could probably get about 1k for the pair on ebay though I'd much rather go (even though im a poor student )

Anyway I have got some quite cool accomodation on:

https://www.host-a-fan.de

Much cheaper than hotels. A friend and I will be staying at a womans house 11 KM from ground/airport and it is only costing about 45 pound each for 3 nights. (15 pounds a night)

I would say this site is well worth a look as it is managed to save my friend and I a lot of money.

I have a bit of a problem.

While this has nothing to do with the football and wanting world cup tickets, me and 6 of my friends are going out to essen to a festival that falls on the weekend of 22nd june. EVERYWHERE in essen and the surrounding areas are booked up hotels wise. Helps me please!

Cheapest flights I've found out to Germany for the world cup are with https://www.jet2.com to Dusseldorf from Leeds. Got myself a bargain return including tax of £60 for the final England group match at nearby Cologne. Not got a ticket for the match though, but I'm sure the atmosphere will be cracking.

See you there

try this, although be careful as I might not have the right Essen!

that website is amazing for world cup hotels for less than 30 quid a night

we have booked the Rheinhotel Bellavista so we're 2 hours from gelsenkirchen and 1 hour from frankfurt and in a beautiful location near the castles of the Rhein valley - just what the doctor ordered. Add in a couple of jars of German Pils and I'm in heaven, and out of the way of any possible trouble.

Got allocated 3 tickets to the quarter final in Berlin.

To see England we need them to come runner up in their group and then beat the Germans - I guess stranger things have happened.

We are staying for 3 nights about 10 miles out of Berlin in a plush looking hotel with leisure facilities. Add on the flights and the cost of the tickets ant the trip works out as roughly £320 per head.

When I looked in early Jan after the tickets were allocated, I really strucggled to find any suitable accommodation in Berlin, as the best places had gone.

My first visit to a world cup!!

Anybody know of a website with bus info friend wants to travel to Nurenberg from some where near cologne been quoted about £100 on the train.

Germany doesn't really do buses, except for a few major routes, and Cologne-Nuremberg doesn't seem to be one of them.

Air Berlin fly between the two cities so if your friend can book well in advance, or get lucky with a cheap fare, it might be worth considering.

Another possibility might be car sharing.
There are organised car-sharing agencies in both Cologne and Nuremberg.
Some Germans use car-sharing schemes to keep down their petrol costs, others to reduce environmental impact.
It's certainly cheaper, at about 50 Euros return.
It's claimed to be very safe: drivers and passengers must register in advance, so their identities are known to the agencies.

The Cologne office of 'Citynetz' can be direct-dialled from UK on 0049 221 19440.
The Nuremberg office is on 0049 911 19444.

I don't know if they speak English (or if your friend speaks German!) but this may be worth a try.
