Title: FAO German folk Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 13:17:33 Looking to go to Frankfurt for a Friday night lash up and plan to go to see Eintracht v Hamburg which is the last weekend of the season.
Currently the games are on Saturday 23rd May but is there any/much chance of these being moved to the Sunday? The reason I ask is that I can't make the Sunday and want to buy tickets as soon as possible. Is it easy to get tickets for German matches? Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 13:43:21 It's the last game of the season!!! Can't be on a different day.
I'm going to Karlsruhe vs Hertha Berlin on the saturday (23rd may) and Nürnberg vs '60 München on the sunday (2nd division). Already bought tickets via email, was very easy. Would get them bought soon as you can though just in case though. Oh and if you even think of appreciating anything Eintract do (be it score, good pass etc) then you are going in my black book. Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: land_of_bo on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 13:54:28 I'm going to Karlsruhe_Red vs HerthaB Is this the start of the TEF fight club?? Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Ardiles on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 14:04:33 FC St Pauli vs VFL Bochum, about 10 years ago. Best 0-0 draw I've ever seen.
Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 14:56:45 Can't believe Hertha are top of the league - saw them in the UEFA Cup at St Patrick's Athletic and they were absolute garbage. St Pat's hit the post twice and the best player for Hertha was Voronin and he was utter toss.
Thanks for the info KR. Frankfurt are kind of my local Bundesliga side although I have a soft spot for Cologne after visiting the city last year. Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 15:38:03 Anyone speak German - can you tell me if these tickets are sold out for the Hamburg game? There stadium is massive and they aren't doing very well so I wouldn't have thought so this far in advance
http://www.eintracht.de/tickets/tageskarten/ Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 15:50:21 When you click on ticketinfos:
ausverkauft (außer Gastkontingent) = sold out (apart from away allocation) and http://www.eintracht.de/tickets/online-ticketing/?product=hamburg Freie plätze = 0 for all stands. Must be nonsense, send them an email [email protected] English will be alright Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 15:51:45 Says they're available, but when you go to select tickets all 4 stands are showing "0 free places".
Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 16:05:18 It says sold out, but next also says Verfügbar = available! haha
Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 16:07:57 Have emailed them to see what's what.
Thanks for the help guys! Wonder how easy it would be to get tickets in the Hamburg section? I'm guessing as they are still playing for top spot there are 2 chances and slim is out of town. Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 16:12:24 I tried to get away tickets for Wolfsburg vs Karlsruhe this season (didn't end up going as would've cost a fortune) and seems you will have to try and go through HSV - but I don't think they issue the tickets to the away club until a few weeks before the game.
Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: chalkies_shorts on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 16:20:15 It says sold out, but next also says Verfügbar = available! haha Well thats not very efficient is it? The person responsible will be trussed up in barbed wire.Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, March 13, 2009, 08:51:40 I tried to get away tickets for Wolfsburg vs Karlsruhe this season (didn't end up going as would've cost a fortune) and seems you will have to try and go through HSV - but I don't think they issue the tickets to the away club until a few weeks before the game. Got a response from Eintracht and they have confirmed that they have sold out of tickets for this match. She suggested I try and contact Hamburg to try and get tickets in the Hamburg section. Can you do me a favour and see if you can find me an accurate email for Hamburg so I can contact them? Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Friday, March 13, 2009, 09:37:38 I'm suprised they've sold out so quickly! That's quite impressive.
I'd try this first: [email protected] (auswaertstickets = away tickets) Then this: [email protected] I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Got a reply from Hamburg saying the game is completely sold out! How far is Karlsruhe from Frankfurt on the train KR? Potentially could go for a night out in Frankfurt Friday night and then go to see Karlsruhe v HB on the Saturday. Provided of course I can get back to Luxembourg from Karlsruhe! Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Friday, March 13, 2009, 09:59:12 About an hour on the train. If there's a few of you, you can get one of those group travel ticket things and save a packet on fares.
Have a look on www.bahn.de for trains to Luxembourg. Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, March 13, 2009, 10:12:36 About an hour on the train. If there's a few of you, you can get one of those group travel ticket things and save a packet on fares. Have a look on www.bahn.de for trains to Luxembourg. Looks like its going to be a fairly small group as it is the Luxembourg marathon that weekend and there are a load of people doing it this year (suckers!) Pretty tempted to go to that Kalsruhe game - ground is about 30k, is there much terracing? How much are tickets? Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Friday, March 13, 2009, 10:34:22 My tickets were 10 euros each in the corner (terracing). It's anywhere between 10 and 32 euros.
I'd say about 1/3 - 1/2 is terracing, old terracing not this new safe standing stuff or whatever it's called. If you do end up going, sample the Rothaus beer, it's my favourite in the whole world and is on tap around the ground.

Just had a look online - looks like this game might be sold out as well - there is a little red guy with a smily face next to the ticket options for this game. Why is this proving to be so difficult!! :( Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: herthab on Friday, March 13, 2009, 11:28:31 Glad to see my home town club (Who I've never seen play) at the top of the league.
Wish it was Swindon though.

Why is this proving to be so difficult!! :( I've sent KSC an email, I'll let you know. I hope it's not sold out because I've still got a couple of mates who might be coming but haven't got tickets yet because they are so slow doing anything. Berlin are KSC's "friend" club so may be more likely to sell out, especially as KSC are setting the league alight.... haha Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, March 13, 2009, 13:25:19 I've sent KSC an email, I'll let you know.

Is the last game of the season special in Germany or something? Seems very difficult to get tickets! Had a look at Ticketmaster and I can get tickets for the Eintracht game through them but it is very expensive, at least 75 Euro!! Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Friday, March 13, 2009, 13:44:05 Had a reply from KSC and it's all sold out unfortunately. Just rememebered I haven't got my tickets for Nürnberg yet so getting a bit worried - oops.

Just rememebered I haven't got my tickets for Nürnberg yet so getting a bit worried - oops. Oh how annoying!! Slowly running out of options now! Who out of all of these teams is relatively easy to get to Frankfurt by train KR? Arminia Bielefeld v Hannover 96, 14:30 Bayern Munich v VfB Stuttgart, 14:30 Borussia M'gladbach v Borussia Dortmund, 14:30 Cologne v VfL Bochum, 14:30 Cottbus v Bayer Leverkusen, 14:30 Eintracht Frankfurt v Hamburg, 14:30 Karlsruhe v Hertha Berlin, 14:30 Schalke 04 v TSG Hoffenheim, 14:30 Wolfsburg v Werder Bremen, 14:30 Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Friday, March 13, 2009, 14:48:24 Not Cottbus or Munich!
Check the times on bahn.de I'm not really sure to be honest, sorry. Frankfurt's pretty central so shouldn't be too far, within reason. Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Ironside on Friday, March 13, 2009, 18:13:02 I'm stopping over in Frankfurt on a Saturday night at the end of this month, on my way to Mayrhofen.

Going to be visting this place: www.cocoonclub.net/main/en_swf.jsp Cocoon Club is apparently awesome! Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Gelbfüßler on Monday, March 16, 2009, 13:39:57 Is it the club for stuttering racists?
Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Ironside on Sunday, April 5, 2009, 22:14:58 Got back from my little trip at 0430 this morning.
Cocoon club is seriously over rated in my opinion. Very pretty club, but the music was shite and the atmosphere was very flat. The end. Title: Re: FAO German folk Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, May 17, 2009, 09:14:16 Ok - Pretty much finalised my weekend next weekend.
Friday I have taken a colonel and so will be meeting my mate at Hahn and getting the shuttle to Frankfurt for an evening out there. Saturday, getting the train to Baden Baden as there is a race meeting there. After losing a whack on the gee gees we are then getting the train to Karlruhe and having a night out there before back to Lux on Sunday for the Beggen v Racing Union (Luxembourg's version of Swindon v Pox) last game of the season mash up! KR - You going to be about in Kalruhe on the Saturday night? Anyone got any tips for decent things to see and do in either Frankfurt or Karlsruhe. Ironside didn't think much of the Cocoon club so sounds like a must to me! |
