On their website it says that price includes advanced booking fee. Will it be Essen who are charging their fans the extra and not Hibs?

Initial quota is 2000 tickets, be smashing if they could sell all those

That makes more sense.

[LewysGot2]

Just bought ours. Looking forward to it. There were Rot-weiss fans at ER last season visiting for historical reasons so hopefully it will be a tempting fixture in their support

Essen tickets went on resale to members today & supposedly 3 sections of the south lower are already sold out. Looking like a great following coming from Germany.

I've got a giant Sachsen flag with 'Sachsen Hibees' on it, to greet (confuse?) them from the home end.

My mother wouldn’t let me go to the first game -said the crowd would be too big. She’s no longer around to ask about this one so I might risk it.

Blimey. What's their standing in German football these days? My brother and I were over at the friendly to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the European Cup game 20 years ago and my memory is that they were a club which had fallen a long way from more illustrious times.

Went insolvent in 2010 and ended up in the 5th division. Worked their way back up to 3rd division in 2022 and have been there since. Average attendances of around 17,000.

When Lenny was in charge the was a group of 15 in the west stand near to me. They were chatting with the Hibs fans around them. Have seen their fans at other games as well.2.5k travelling 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Catering should be a German Theme. Pity we can't serve alcohol at the game.

Yes, would be good to have some tents up in the Car Park and create some German beer festival atmosphere.

[BILLYHIBS]

Already mentioned but BTG open selling alcohol and German street food £5 admission kill for tickets

[Phil MaGlass]

I hope they all realise how bloody expensive Edinburgh is for hotels and b&b,s?

Very impressive.

Would be good to have Hibs visit them in the future and return grow links.

Wow, that's an incredible effort by them for a friendly. Lets hope it is just that with Hibs and RWE fans mingling together pre and post match. We are after all forever united as European pioneers.

Does anybody know if the FF is open for this game? I saw somebody say that it was only the east and west, but that's clearly not accurate if RWE fans are being housed in the south.

Only East and West open for home fans.

Imagine we are waiting on the outcome of the Scottish cup winners before arrangements can be made.

Celtic win the cup.
Hibs would then enter Europa League qualifying at the second round and, therefore, a longer route into continental competition. There's also a significant difference in timing, with the UEL second round qualifying taking place across July 24 and 31, with the play-offs not until August 21 and 28 - after the new Scottish Premiership campaign has started.

For now, though, Gray says his players deserve a well-earned rest following a remarkable campaign.

"When we come back depends on what that first European game looks like, because there's a difference between going into the qualifiers compared to the final play-off game," said the Hibs head coach. "I think there's a difference in the middle of July, the actual first competitive game [if Aberdeen win the cup].

Apologies if posted elsewhere but had email from the Club about a match at ER on 9th July v Rot Weiss Essen to celebrate 70 years since that European Cup tie.

How ironic! I remember we qualified for the 50th year anniversary and I am sure we played them away in 50.

Surprised people still get physical tickets delivered. Digital straight to your phone is so convenient.

Surely you mean if Celtic don’t win the cup. Think if they do then we enter the play off round in August on the dates you mention.

Is the whole stadium open for this game? Think I saw mention of only 2/3 stands being used but might be wrong.

In light of the fact we may not be generating as much income from Europe as we'd hoped, this would be a good game to try to shift a lot of tickets for. With so many German fans apparently attending it would be good to try to create a bit of a European-tie atmosphere - and while Essen aren't the force they once were it's potentially quite useful for the players to come up against a different type of opponent ahead of the Europa ties. Wonder if SDG will be looking to use it more in that way now, rather than just a kind of ceremonial friendly.

Maybe it should be? I thought this would be a pretty well attended fixture.

Aus Essen freut man sich schon auf dieses Highlight!
Schottland ist schon eine Reise wert, besonders Edinburgh ist auf Bildern und Videos ja eine wunderschöne Stadt.

Habt ihr vielleicht einen Tipp für einen pub nach dem Spiel ? Und sagt in der Stadt gerne mal Bescheid das der Bier Vorrat aufgestockt werden muss

From Essen one is already looking forward to this highlight!

Scotland is already worth a trip, especially Edinburgh is a beautiful city on pictures and videos.

Who has a tip for a pub after the game? And please let the city know that the beer stock needs to be increased
