Who's all going to Germany?

[Keith_M]

OK, so who's decided to go and have you booked anywhere yet?


:saltireflag

[Trinity Hibee]

Me. Booked flights and hotel in dusseldorf. 15th-22nd June from Edinburgh

[HIBS NUTS]

Yip flying into frankfurt , one way , staying in cologne for 3 days only , and booked 2 tickets in every stadium in germany, lottery if we are successful.
Booked 2 months ago.👍🏻

[Pretty Boy]

Me.

5 nights in Frankfurt arriving for the opening day on the 14th.

Applied for tickets in various cities and will travel to wherever Scotland opening game is regardless. Group of 4 of us travelling together and an informal group of 20 planning to meet up across there. We booked our flights with Lufthansa, Edinburgh to Frankfurt, a few weeks back and a hotel even longer ago. Looking at the prices today I'm glad we took the risk.

Can't wait.

[SChibs]

Not Germany for me as I'll be in Cambodia and Vietnam during the Euros. If anyone else will be in the general area and wants to meet to watch a game give me a shout

That’s a terrific alternative to being there. Great countries and be some quality wee spots for taking in games (at whatever time they may be!!)

[Since452]

Booked up in August in anticipation we'd get there. Glad we did as prices have gone up substantially since. Frankfurt for us 6 nights.

[JammyDoidger]

Düsseldorf from Manchester. Buzzing.

[Stairway 2 7]

Dusseldorf 10 days. Tried for a few games but if unsuccessful will use the train pass to explore and bounce about fan parks ect. Should be braw

[Joe6-2]

My grandson wants to go but I have no idea where to start 🤷
Don’t want hours of travelling, trains, planes and automobiles!

[MKHIBEE]

Flying to Cologne on the 14th, staying in Essen until the 26, hoping to see some matches and some gigs.

[Stairway 2 7]

Yes,flying to Berlin going to base myself there 16th to 27th hopefully get lucky with the draw,if not will travel to the games can't wait its been a long time

[Hibrandenburg]

OK, so who's decided to go and have you booked anywhere yet?


:saltireflag

Won't be able avoid it. My "Company" will be providing services at all locations where UK teams play. Just hoping I get the Scotland gig but I think it will probably be a mixture of Scotland, England and Wales if they manage to qualify.

[Stubbsy90+2]

My grandson wants to go but I have no idea where to start 🤷

I’m going to Düsseldorf. Can go direct from Edinburgh and you’re pretty close train wise to Cologne, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund and Frankfurt so that’s 5 of the 10 stadiums within 2 and a half hours on the train.

[Mr Grieves]

From Edinburgh there's direct flights to - Munich, Berlin, Hamburg (easyJet)
Düsseldorf and cologne (eurowings)
Frankfurt (lufthansa)
Düsseldorf Weeze (Ryanair, düsseldorf is a trek from this airport)

If I was going I would base myself in North Rhine Westphalia -Dusseldorf and Cologne are the the best with plenty of eating and drinking options. If accommodation is too much there have a look at duisburg,essen, Bochum. As has been mentioned 4 of the stadiums can be reached by local public transport (1:15 hours or less). Frankfurt and Stuttgart are doable by train.

To give you an idea of how easy it is to travel in this area, I'm staying in Düsseldorf this weekend. We're doing a tour of the westfalenstadion (Dortmund) on Saturday morning, then going to the MSV duisburg game Saturday afternoon and then the Fortuna dusseldorf game saturday night. On Sunday we're going to FC koln v borussia Monchengladbach. Public transport is great there, plus you can crack open a beer and chill

[NthCarolinaHibs]

We've just booked Dusseldorf from 12th to 26th.. flying from Edinburgh to Frankfurt then train up to D'dorf..cannae wait 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍺🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm going to Cologne (direct from Edinburgh) from 18th to 22nd June and have applied for 3 games in the area.

[Mr Grieves]

I'm flying into HCMC at the start of the knock out rounds and out of Hanoi the same day as the final if you're around?

[scm70nyd1973]

[QUOTE=Keith_M;7487879]OK, so who's decided to go and have you booked anywhere yet?

Driving up from southern Spain with my wife - meeting my daughter and friends in Düsseldorf (likely camp) when they get there from Scotland. Ticket application posted today (UEFA ballot) but I’m also able to buy tickets for any Spanish games. Happy to go to as many games as I can.

[linlithgowhibbie]

Was there in 1974 for Scotlands undefeated campaign. Unfortunately wont manage this time. Had a blast.:thumbsup:

I spent 3 weeks in North Vietnam, loved every minute, such an amazing country ! Its on my list to get back ASAP n explore a bit more of the country, I wanted to do north and south in 3 weeks but the north was so stunning was having a great time so I spent the whole three weeks there.

[BS44]

Few of us staying in a Airbnb in Dusseldorf, I'm getting the overnight ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam and the others booked their flights a while ago.

Hopefully England don't end up in Dusseldorf, got no problem with the English but some of their fans are fuds

[Blaster]

Booked back in March. 5 nights in Berlin from 19 June flying from Edinburgh.

Ramsay Travel worth a wee look

[Bristolhibby]

Me and the old man are going. Been following Scotland since 2003 and this is our first proper tournament.

Will bite the bullet and just fly in and out. Also living in South England I do have the option of taking the car for some Rhur games.

Will wait until the 2nd December when the groups and fixtures are decided before booking as holiday is tight.

[Col2]

Berlin from 14th June. Can’t wait

[Berwickhibby]

Driving over…Hull - Rotterdam ferry, fortunately I have in-laws who have offered to to put me up in Bielefeld

[lyonhibs]

Yes, hopefully. Got friends in Dusseldorf but will be in an Air B'nB, from 20-25th June, jealous of those going for 10 days/2 weeks but having small kids etc mean that option is out the window

[Willis1875]

Bouncing between Düsseldorf and Cologne on dates of June 23rd to 27th.
It’s worth checking out the Premier Inns in Germany for accommodation,they don’t generally come up on hotel sites such as Booking,hotels.com etc

[Glasgowhibby95]

Me and 8-10 pals have booked up for varying lengths of time between the 15-27th. Flying in and out of Cologne from Edinburgh and staying there for 4 nights, Dusseldorf for 4 nights and Frankfurt for 3 nights. Got free cancellation on all the hotels in case we end up needing to shift around.

Like a lot of people I've spoken to, we've hedged our bets that Scotland will be playing in the cluster of 5 western cities (Cologne, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Gelsenkirchen & Frankfurt). We looked into it last night and worked out the likelihood of Scotland playing their group games in that area.

Assuming we are in pot 2, here's the breakdown:

Group E - All 3 games in 5 western cities.
Group F - 2 games in western cities, 1 in Hamburg
Groups A&C- 1 game in western cities
Group B&D - 0 games in western cities

so there's a roughly 66% chance of at least 1 Scotland game being there.

Hopefully someone else finds this remotely useful :greengrin

Roll on next summer!

[SChibs]

I'm flying into HCMC at the start of the knock out rounds and out of Hanoi the same day as the final if you're around?

I think I arrive in HCMC on 24th June. I then leave from Hanoi 14 days later so I'll definitely be around

A2, B2, etc. arent necessarily pot 2. It is an open draw.

[Trinity Hibee]

A2, B2, etc. arent necessarily pot 2. It is an open draw.

You are right. I’d just presumed 2nd seeds would get A2,B2 etc.

“Teams will be allocated to one of four pots (1, 2, 3, 4) in advance of the draw, in accordance with their results in the qualifying group stage. Hosts Germany are seeded in Pot 1 but are not drawn as they are automatically allocated to Group A. The three eventual play-off winners are assigned to Pot 4.

A further six pots (A, B, C, D, E, F) are required to draw the respective team’s position in each group. Pots B-F contain four balls each to represent the positions available in each group (eg B1, B2, B3 and B4). Pot A contains only three balls for the positions A2, A3 and A4 in Group A, since Germany will occupy position A1.”

[Silversand]

Booked return flights to Dusseldorf a few months ago, 14 nights.

Have not booked accommodation yet, waiting for the draw in December before booking up, but will likely travel about, depending on where Scotland end up playing.

We’re more likely to be in Pot 3

[MartinfaePorty]

I'm going, if not for all 3 group games, then certainly the first 2. I'm just waiting until the draw gets made. I have a cousin in south-west Germany, so if the first game wasn't until a few days into the tournament, I might have a day or 2 in Luxembourg and then head over to visit him before it. It all really depends where the games are and I am in the lucky position where I can afford to pay a bit extra, albeit not wanting to get ripped off!

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Booked up today, staying in Cologne, should be a pretty good base. Looking forward to it

[DH1875]

If we win both our remaining games the we should be Pot 2. To be honest, there’s very little difference between Pots 2 & 3. Pot 2 would hopefully mean we avoid England. That would be good. Canny be arsed with the garden furniture chucking!

[WeeRussell]

Have you seen our record in Georgia and Norway will be no pushover

Have you seen our record in this group? Have you seen Georgia’s record in Georgia during this campaign? Surely more relevant than what our poorer teams have done years ago.

Neither will be pushovers but we are the better team in both fixtures and are more likely to win than not.

We should absolutely be putting Norway away at hampden.

I hear you and we will be favourites in both games. 6 points would be a great return. Clarke will also be desperate to stop the losing run. A lot will depend on how we react to having already qualified. This team does seem to be different but it's hard to shake off the scars from the last 2 visits to Tbilisi. 2 wins would be a massive boost to our seeding not only for Germany but the World Cup qualifying draw.

IIRC after we qualified for Euro 2020, we immediately lost winnable Nations League games vs Israel and Slovakia (or was it Czech Republic?)

Need to cut that out.

[Since90+2]

If Haaland plays at Hampden it's a difficult game, whether he does or not given it means nothing to Norway I'd say a good chance he doesn't.

He is a close as you can get to almost guaranteeing a goal a game, so we'd likely have to get atleast 2 to win it.

[DIXIHIBS]

Youre not wrong. Italy Croatia and Netherlands looking like pot3.

Booked accommodation in Bonn and Bochum nr Dortmund 17-27. Will cover 5 of the venues. 3 of us going. Went to Dortmund previously to see Germany v Scotland. Great country and lovely people. Can't wait.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Will be going with my son.
Fortunately we can drive to any of the cities.
Will wait for the draw and also see when and where Scotland and Czech Republic play, before making any firm plans.. Though my boy is only really interested in the Scotland team funnily enough. 😊
Will be a fabulous experience!

[Frazerbob]

Booked last night. Flying in and out of Hamburg, digs in Essen, 13th to 27th.

[itslegaltender]

me and pals going, we went to Euro 96 and France 98 back in the day together so taking this chance as the next few tournaments for both Euros and World Cup are spread out more. I think there will easily be 70k plus going over for the games. Should be a great party.

To register for tickets for the games, you only have up to 26th of this month. No option to follow your own team though, but if you end up with tickets for elsewhere and want to swap for Scotland ones, apparently they are going to have some kind of process for that to stop the touts. Tickets are to your phone only. you can register for 4 tickets per game.

Sure there’s another sale after the draw is made.

[JeMeSouviens]

They are keeping back 1,000,000 tickets for competing national associations, an average of 13.5K per team per game. So you'll have to be TA uber to have any chance of those. There's also going to be an official at-face-value resale platform, that's probably a better bet as doubt we will be in high demand for the neutral.

Current projections are for 12-14 to guarantee you a ticket through the SSC, depending on the stadium. That means if you go to every home game, you should get tickets. 1 away game and you’re definitely sorted. Not sure that’s ‘Uber’ status.

I’m on 12. So hoping I have enough for at least 1 game.

[scm70nyd1973]

As of today it’s £450 return from here (Malaga) to Germany (13/06 to 27/06) with EasyJet - includes bags,seats and price is for the two of us - clear that the Spanish don’t give a flying one about the Euros 🫢 Road tolls alone (here and back) would be best part of £300.

10 of us now heading Edinburgh to Cologne from 21st to 27th, so will be in the country for the last day of matchday 2 and all the matchday 3 games. Possible that Scotland could have 2 games in the West during that time (where there are 6 out of the 10 stadiums). But also may only have one and could be on the East which would be tricky to get to. Lots of fan villages and big screens being set up around Cologne so should be good either way.

Depending on where Scotland play we may head to stay in other cities - we have a host of hotels booked through booking.com with free cancellation if needed and no payment until arrival at the Hotels, so options def available for the last week at least.

Need to apply for matchday tickets now - not sure what best approach is - think probably apply for as many games as possible and hope for the best. If you end up with tickets you don't want after the draw then hopefully able to sell them on the UEFA resell site next year.

I think 12 might be optimistic, I'm currently on 24 which will rise to 26 after Tbilisi so comfortable, but those I travel with are closer to the projected cut-off.

Not on the fast trains though - worth noting that

[DC_Hibs]

That's normal in Germany when you buy football or concert tickets.

What he should have mentioned is it’s for 36 hours - from 6am on matchday until 6pm the following day which will help those travelling between cities for the tournament rather than travelling regionally. IC/ICE trains not included obviously as with the standard Kombikarte in use throughout the season.

[LaMotta]

Not on the fast trains though - worth noting that

120 quid return between Cologne and Stuttgart as an example on the fast trains - seems pretty expensive for a 2 hour journey?

Fingers crossed for the ticket lottery, hopefully we'll manage to take in as matches as possible. 🤞

ah sorry was confused at you responding to my message with that :greengrin Yes good point:aok:

[Stairway 2 7]

If you stick to the slow trains you can get the unlimited €49 train pass. If travelling around the west group of stadiums you'll be fine, further afield you'd have to make changes and take a while.

I wanting to use the fast ice trains better get a pass. You pick how many day you want to use it in a month. For example any 3 days unlimited travel within a month is about £170, about £150 if under 26 or travelling as a pair.

Rarely better to buy single tickets unless one off short journey

I think that's a typo and should read 2 million fans have applied rather than 20 million.

This could make sense with 2 million fans applying for 3 million tickets so far (with some fans applying for more than one game)?

I think UEFA got a few million bots (computer generated applications ) and they posted that they were trying to remove the legit ones from the non legit. This might explain the disparity in numbers .

I've applied for 4 tickets for all the games taking place in Berlin. Not optimistic but not even sure I'll be able to make the games as my job means I'll have to be in the cities where UK teams are playing.

To be honest I don't care I'm just going to have a great time

Agreed. 70k is unlikely. Went to France 98 and wasnt anything like that.

[Springbank]

I've applied for the first weekend game in Berlin (have always wanted to see a game at the Olympic Stadium there)
A bit like the San Siro, it's a stadium that seems to be perennially under discussion for being demolished and rebuilt
Scotland v Italy at the Olympic in Berlin next summer would be the dream..and Scotland would have a great chance of winning btw

[Frazerbob]

Agreed. 70k is unlikely. Went to France 98 and wasnt anything like that.

No idea where this 70k figure originated from but it seems to be fact now. There will be more than France though. There’s a couple of generations who’ve been waiting for this all their lives and those of us who were in France have been waiting for a repeat ever since. I know so many folk who hardly ever attend matches (and never Scotland matches) who’ve booked up. Germany was always the big target. Brilliant country who will be fantastic hosts.

Does that not just mean that 3M have made multiple applications? I have applied for 4 tickets a day for every day I am there, all the others in my groups have done the same. So 4 of us applying for 16 tickets a day. I'd assume every group will be the same so if they treat every ticket application as a separate entity then 20M ticket applications by 3M people seems about right. Using me as an example I'm one person but have made 5 applications.

Probably something to do with it. Same article said at the bottom that the average person had applied for 13 tickets.

Only 7245 members have 12 points or more so those should be guaranteed tickets for any of the games. 11,615 have 11 and not all of this will go so reckon 11 might be enough.

Not sure, think it will be huge. So many folk I know that have never been away for a Scotland game going to Germany. You are looking at a whole generation who have never experienced it and then add in the old buggers like me who are thinking that we wont get the chance again given that the next world cup is in the States and then Saudi and the next Euros are going to be here.

If it’s the same as the last euros, SSC ticket sales will be December after the draw so the friendlies next year won’t count. I suspect this week’s games will be the last points to count.

My plan today to to completely avoid social media and just wait for the email.

Go through this every year with the London marathon ballot and Twitter etc is always full of people second guessing how ballot results are being sent out. 'They are definitely doing women first', 'the successful people are being contacted first', 'it's definitely alphabetical', 'people who were born on 29th February are guaranteed entry' and so on.

It just becomes a stressful F5 fest and people get themselves worked into a frenzy.

See with the fan zones in each city is that just a first come first served deal or are they ticketed? Online suggests they are free of charge but doesn't actually mention if you need a ticket. Be good to know once Scotland's opening game venue is confirmed early next month.

The number doesnt relate to seeds mate, it refers to "position of team in the group" which is allocated at draw time regardless of seed. So even if Scotland are second seeds in group A they could be team 3 in group A.

This means you still have a chance of a Scotland game though!

I applied for bottom 2 to be fair, in hindsight should have applied for less games but higher prices. Couldn't justify the high prices for games that I've no idea who I'm even going to be watching, will just buy re sales closer to the time.

Love how UEFA set up a blind auction, no idea who you are playing and insist on paying for all tickets (take it or leave it) and within 7 days payment and before the draw so punters take all the risk and liability…….and even then still don’t have an ounce of respect to bother emailing fans who have been unsuccessful in ticket allocation.

Totally agree with your points.
Not sure about yourself but I got an email to say I was unsuccessful in the draw.

Selling all tix early nearly guarantees all matches are a sell out. When I went to Euros in France I got tix for Austria v Hungary, do you really think that would have been a sell out if you could pick & choose your games.

Like music concerts or any big sporting events you need to pay well in advance of the event so Uefa aren't doing anything different from the rest.

If you only need regional trains you can get a 49€ month pass. If using high speed ice trains then need to get a German train pass. That's different prices depending on how many days for example about £160 for any 3 days in a month or £250 for 7

Could get lucky and Scotland are just in North Rhein and you can get away with only needing the 49€ pass. Or even if they are far away for one date you could get 49€ pass use it to get from airport, visit Dortmund Koln, then get day ticket for far away game

[davhibby]

I have 9 points (turning to 10 once Norway game done). Currently 22k on supporters club list at that level and they think c9500 tickets will be available for each of the 3 games. Have I got no chance of getting a ticket (just for one game, not greedy!)?

It might end up dropping to 11(maybe 10 at a push) since not everyone will be able to do all 3 games in the group. The best hope for there being tickets available post ssc sale is that we draw teams that won’t carry a big support and end up handing tickets back to uefa

Thanks that makes sense. I wobbled on the hospitality but cost is ridiculous especially when I need to pay for myself and my son!!

[SteveHFC]

Now just waiting on the draw.

I have enough points for all games. Cannot wait!

Could do without paying for them all just before Christmas though!

Just hope the prices aren’t absolutely ridiculous.

Find it a tad ridiculous that the jump from cat 3 to cat 2 is so much, but there we go.

[CentreLine]

Finally got my bad news email this morning but at least it means they have my correct email.

[lugz]

Also received the bad news that my ticket application was unsuccessful. Had holidays booked for group stages but think I'll just take off the days we're playing and head into Edinburgh to watch.

[LaMotta]

Find it a tad ridiculous that the jump from cat 3 to cat 2 is so much, better there we go.

:agree: Its an absolute joke. The category 2 seats arent even that great, no idea why the jump is so high.

Category 1 and Fans first by far and away best seats.

What is fans first all about?

[JimBHibees]

Is there another ballot in December?

[lyonhibs]

No, only if people who got lucky in the ballot don't pay up in time, those tickets "get offered" I think to people who were unsuccessful in the ballot "based on their ranking in the ballot" - which of course nobody knows 😂

Inevitably in the "boundary areas" of each price band, you'll get people who paid 90 euros a skull more sitting 6 feet from someone in a cat 3 seat 😂😂

UEFA feel good about themselves factor

That's really annoying. I got tickets for the France - Portugal 2016 final at the Stade De France. I got allocated Cat 2 tickets in the ballot at 595 Euro and was 4 seats from cat 3 which were 295 Euro.

[LaMotta]

Its the seats behind goals at both ends of stadiums. They are the cheapest tickets, I think most are going to associations for national team fans, so there wasn't that many available during the ballot there.

[SteveHFC]

“The associations have around 9,000 tickets per game available in the group phase; prices start at 30 euros per ticket. In the first application phase, which ended on October 26th, UEFA has already received more than 20 million ticket applications for the European Championship.”

From the German fan club. Each team will get 9000 tickets per game in the group stage.

[Torto7062]

Just a thought....
Maybe closer to the finals we could start threads for each host city so like minded fans Hibs/Scottish can meet up

Thank goodness I am on 13

UEFA emailed me saying there were some tickets available due to non payment. I got one for a game in Dortmund.
Check your emails!.

Congrats! Nothing in mine unfortunately, tried logging into my ticket portal to see if that would let me do anything but no luck with that either.

I’ve got one for Dortmund through a family member, can’t wait.

Was that for a game you’d previously applied for?

No, it’s D1v D4 on 25th June.

[Bishop Hibee]

I’m going. I’ve got 12 loyalty points so should get tickets. Accommodation is fine, just got to work out how I’m getting there when the draw is made and the tickets come through.

Got 4 tickets for the game in Frankfurt on Monday 17th, one I had previously applied for. €200 a pop but it's too good a chance to pass up.

Hopefully you don’t turn up on the 14th!!

Many congratulations. Unfortunate not a peep in my emails but you’ll have a ball. 👍🏻

Is that the ticket price you applied for in first ballot? He applied for 160 tickets and that's what he's been offered now, and same as you to good a opportunity to turn down

[bod]

160 ! Is he a tout ?

One of the games aye. I applied for the €50 tickets (I think, whatever the 2nd cheapest was) but said I would accept in another price band so was always willing to pay a bit extra if the chance came up.

Getting a Scotland game would be the dream but happy just to be getting to a game. Would rather it wasn't England but other than that I'm happy.

[Since90+2]

Got tickets for a game between 2nd and 3rd seeds in Stuttgart. Could be Scotland so fingers crossed.

[Since90+2]

For tickets that are balloted I'm guessing there's no segregation?

2 v 3 doesn’t mean second v third seeds.
Group positions will be drawn for each country as they’re drawn out the hat.

As Callum has said C2 and C3 doesn't necessarily mean 2nd and 3rd seeds in the group.

The only certainty at the moment is that Germany are A1. Everything else is decided at the draw.

Ah ok never realised that. The tickets say it's Group A Germany's group.

So it can basically be anyone with the exception of Germany?
