Majority of folk I have seen on the TA facebook page appear to be arriving in Munich the night before/on the day of the game.

Pie Of The Month Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 For anyone intending on buying the Deutschland ticket who haven't got it yet this thread gives details on how if you buy from the local Hamburg transport provider app then you can get it from part way through the month and save yourself money on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, assume this has already been discussed, but to get the EUR 49 ticket for June only: 1 - We need to sign up before the 10th of June at DeutscheBahn 2 - you then cancel the subscription before the 10th of June? That will give us the June pass but not take the July subscription? I've read the DB site and think thats how it works but not 100% sure. (quoted information is a nice tip, but I'm okay just going through DB for full monthly amount) Edited June 2 by The Holiday Song 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find the DB site to be a pain I've read that both the Bremen and Munich local transport apps are easy to use and easy to cancel before the next month. Man from Seat 61's website gives easy instructions for the Bremen app. https://www.seat61.com/train-travel-in-germany.htm#Deutschlandticket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I also don’t drink beer/lager because I’m a big fairy. Surely the fan zones will offer an alternative? Whether that’s wine or spirits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 The fanzones in the past have sold all sorts of other drinks as well as beer, I don't think anyone will have to worry. UEFA's fanzone page is vague for some citiies then specifically mentions other drinks for some cities such as Hamburg as linked below and I can't see much difference in what's for sale in each fanzone with them all being official UEFA fanzones - https://www.uefa.com/euro2024/event-guide/hamburg/festival/ Quote The range of drinks also includes something for everyone. From soft drinks to beer, wine and cocktails, you can quench your thirst and (hopefully) raise a toast to your team’s victory! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I’m hoping someone can dumb this down for me. I’m flying Manchester to Frankfurt on the 19th, staying in Bonn and my train travel is included in the flight as is the return leg on the 24th. 19th I’ll be going from Bonn to Cologne and at some point I plan on going to Liege for a day, do I need to reserve seats for all of this or can I buy a ticket at the station on the day? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonn to Cologne will be regional trains, you don't reserve a seat and can buy on the day if you want. Bonn to Liege it depends on your route, if you're doing regional trains via Aachen then again it's fine to buy on the day but check Belgian train lines for the Aachen to Liege part of the journey. If you're doing Eurostar from Cologne you'd probably need to be booking in advance to get any sort of decent price> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had seen something mentioned about a lot more trains needing booked in advance which isn’t an issue if need be but if I can get away with buying on the day it makes my life easier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're using any of the trains shown there which is the fastest route then you'd be best to book the ICE train from Cologne to Liege at the very least in advance although you might be at the point now where it doesn't go up much in price between now and then. If going the Aachen route I mentioned then it takes a bit longer but you can book on the day and it's the same price so it really depends whether time/flexibility or cost is more important. Aachen route goes Bonn to Cologne on a regional train, change to another regional train to Aachen then jump on a Belgian train there (the Belgian trains from Aachen to Liege are 11.10 euro regardless of when you book, if you get an ICE train from Aachen to Liege it will cost more than that so don't get on the wrong one). Your other option is Flixbus run direct from Bonn to Liege each morning and it's about 8 quid, takes around an hour longer than the fastest train route but then at least you don't have to change.

Cost isn’t too much of an issue within reason, aiming very much for flexibility. Thanks very much for your help, I’ll take a look at it a bit more nearer the time, bus might actually be a better option if it’s a straight a-b 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m travelling across to Germany on my own and flying out on the 19th so I have a few days with nothing planned after we play Switzerland. Plan is to just tour about a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I have been reading online that the "UEFA Fan Pass" should be appearing in the UEFA Euro 2024 app now. I have looked on my app (Android) and it is not there. I updated to the most recent version so it isn't that. Is everyone else able to access theirs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA say 4th June on their website, saw some people say they'd go theirs but guessing it's yet another UEFA glitch as nothing showing for me. https://www.uefa.com/euro2024/event-guide/ticket-holders/ Quote To make use of your travel benefits, you will need your Fan Pass. The Fan Pass is brand new for EURO 2024 and provides access to exclusive perks which will enhance your experience on-site. Your Fan Pass is free and will be available for all ticket holders on the UEFA EURO 2024 app from 4 June. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
