Connor7 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Thought I would kick start a new thread on how everyone plans on getting to Germany. We booked a hotel in Bonn (free cancellation) not long after the groups started. At a very good price! Kept the hotel, going 16th -23rd. Booked the flights yesterday, and any direct flight from Scotland - Germany has rocketed in price as expected. Our new route: Edinburgh - Bristol - Cologne Colgone - Venice - Edinburgh First time going to watch Scotland in a major tournament. Too young to remember France 98, and Covid hit Euro 2020. Real buzz about this! Love this Scotland team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoP Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Haven’t thought about it yet Already booked an apartment in Düsseldorf for the first fortnight Might drive over but probably a flight to Amsterdam or similar close airport Good train connections into western Germany from Belgium and Netherlands No idea what to do about tickets Wont qualify for any official allocation on 5 points, been put off the Uefa ballot for random games as it seems like a waste of money Im really not interested in spending hunners of euros to watch Slovenia v Greece or something similarly random Really stuck on that bit tbh, I get you could get juicy tickets that were easily sellable or swappable but I don’t get the logistics of it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonwell Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I'm driving across in a camper van with three pals and setting up camp in Cologne. Perhaps start to regret it towards the end of the 2nd week though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self-raising Lazarus Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Second bonn, just south of it for me. May Change when groups are announced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthewing Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Booked Edinburgh to Dusseldorf from the 16th to the 21st. Just shy of £700 for flights and accommodation about a mile from the town centre and an hour and a half walk to the stadium. All 4 of us are also trying to get tickets for Dusseldorf, Dortmund, Cologne and Gelsenkirchen in the ballot. Agree it's a pain in the tits though, as we'll probably have to resell a few tickets each. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdieMinusOne Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I've booked into Dusseldorf from the 13th to the 27th. So the full group stages. All in all I am in about a grand by the time I will need to pay it all come next year for flights and accommodation. Got a pretty decent AirBNB in the old town. Can hop on a tram and get to the central part in about 15 minutes A few other folks I talk to are now at the "Trying to get that few people to actually get off their arse and say yes" so they can actually book something because everything will spike in price come the draw in December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moleskin Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 We've booked flights Edinburgh to Hannover 14th - 27th with BA going through Heathrow. It's not a host city but good links to them all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek68 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Flights Liverpool to Frankfurt 13-27th. Staying Frankfurt 13th on arrival, staying Munich 14th as only game is the opener, then got pay on arrival/free cancellation hotel in Hannover 15-27th as good rail links to most host cities. Also got 15th-27th pay on arrival/free cancellation hotel in Nuremberg to cover Munich/Leipzig if drawn there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyIncognito Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Not booked up yet. Will probably try flying Glasgow/Edinburgh to Amsterdam/Brussels/Luxembourg and then train to the Rhine Valley area with maybe a stopover in England or even Dublin along the way. Have never done this before so have no idea if this is a good idea or not. As for the games I'll try in the ballot for games in that area and maybe Hamburg or Frankfurt, then try getting tickets for the Scotland game during the resale in March. If we're in Berlin/Munich/Leipzig I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Going over with two of my mates from 13th-23th June. Got an Air B&B booked in Frankfurt but also a hotel incase the B&B cancels. We’ve applied for seven games each in the ballot. What pot are Scotland likely to be in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot 2 if we win both our final games, I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pot we’re in doesn’t correspond to the numbers in the group. Just because we’re in pot 2 doesn’t mean, for example, that we would be team F2 if we were in Group F. If we win our last 2 games we’ll be in pot 2 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we going to have a ticket thread too? Can't possibly have people skipping over a post that has no interest to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I’m sure there were a few on here that had booked the Ibis in Frankfurt. @ayrunitedfwjust told me that his booking had been cancelled, without an email to actually tell him. I’ve just went into mine and it is the exact same - not a word but cancelled on the online booking confirmation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
