Some of the tickets on their own last time were £500 and it's not much more than a Caribbean holiday for maybe a once in a lifetime thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have I missed Frankfurt being the opening ground? No, you're right, the opening game is in Munich. The flight I'm looking at gets in at 9am and google tells me its a 3.5 hr train from Frankfurt to Munich, so if I'm unlucky and it ends up being Germany vs Scotland in the opening game it's still possible to make it I guess. Or I could play it safe and head out on the Thursday which is probably the more sensible option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeTon Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 It's not really too much of a crisis if you book up in, say, Frankfurt, and we end up playing down in Munich or over in Berlin. Most games (and I think every group stage, at least once per team) will have a game in that western region of Germany, so it's not a huge gamble. Plus, we're talking about the Deutsche Bahn here, naw ScotRail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the huge issues I and many here foresee is their ability to run the services smoothly given the extra burden they will be taking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping onto this, https://www.chronotrains.com/en is a handy site for anyone planning on staying in cities without a host stadium, but still with good rail links. Darker Red = Quicker, as the key shows. For example, here's Kassel Works for most of Europe, for anyone planning on going a wee adventure after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they'll be able to put on a show when the Euros are in town. Same with any TOCs in the UK - they start to give a shit when folk from outwith the area use their service.

If the hospitality bar at the ground's decent it would be a good way to avoid the crowds before and especially after the games, .with tens of thousands at the U-bahn or whatever. Academic anyway for me at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Your country of residence probably plays no part as you will be making use of the service in the EU as a consumer. Do I pay VAT on services from EU? At present where a service provider provide services to a non-business/consumer in another EU state VAT is generally charged in the supplier's state.

betting competition Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Booked up a flight and accommodation to Dusseldorf. I've done that as 4 stadiums so near to each other. Going to 2 weeks then going home but if Scotland do qualify for the next round then I will go back but i was surprised there is 2 rest days after the group stages and then another 2 after the 2nd round. Hopefully I have enough points for Scotland tickets - currently on 11 but hope to get tickets in Georgia and France. I've pre-registered in UEFA that I want tickets for the 4 stadiums next to each other. These was Euro 2020 ticket prices: https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/news/0253-0d821c0faceb-9c6313dd551c-1000--uefa-euro-2020-ticket-details-announced/ Edited June 23, 2023 by betting competition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Fuckit, I've gone for the hospitality deal. I'm a zero pointer and doubt I have much chance of getting tickets any other way. Germany is about the perfect country for a summer football tournament and I've no intention of going to the World Cup in North America which would likely cost a lot more, as would have Qatar. Just means I'll be sticking with my 2012 plate rust bucket of a car until it's ready for the wreckers yard. P.S. Flights and accommodation sorted for Berlin from the first group games to the Quarter Finals, accommodation fully refundable if the games are too far away.
