So now that the play-offs are advancing, here are the options should anyone want to go to a game. Wednesday 23rd @ 18:20 (likely start time)- Sparta Praha v Zlin / Chomutov / Brno (QF game 5) at the O2 Arena Tickets will be available here unless either teams wins the first 4 games, and will cost 220-360 czk depending on where you sit. I would try avoid the cheaper seats in the upper tier if possible. Wednesday 23rd @ 18:00 - Slavia Praha v Ceske Budejovice (SF game 6) at Zimni Stadion Eden As far as I know tickets can only be bought at the arena: 80 czk for standing section or 120 czk for a seat. For more info on the Prague teams and venues please see my blog post. As a fan of Ceske Budejovice I would recommend our game with Slavia as the better option, should either of these games be required. It's a semi-final and the teams are more evenly matched. Here's a clip from our game against them last season For anyone willing to travel outside Prague the only confirmed game at the moment is Friday 25th - Pardubice v Karlovy Vary (17:00) Tickets are 100 czk and can be bought here There may be a few games on the Saturday, but that will only be confirmed on Thursday 24th.

https://www.cd.cz/eshop/ 414 czk. Can print ticket out at home. You'll need to enter passport number when booking. Probably worth reserving a seat too - that route can be busy.

No direct connection. Best to take a bus from Vienna airport to Bratislava, then a bus or train to Trnava.

Always the home team! no worries; most Czech sport websites aren't overly friendly for the non-Czech speaker http://www.hcdynamo.cz/ vstupenky na dynamo > online vstupenky > vstupenky > select the game

Game starts at 5 so should be done by 7:30. Loads of time. There are various classes of train, avoid the Pendolino Super City (listed as SC) as you need a seat reservation. It's best to buy a return ticket on the day at the station (a group ticket will give you a cheaper price) and won't restrict you to a specific train.

Most likely stay in Trnava on the Monday and Tuesday (although depends on work)

100 czk per ticket and can buy online here http://www.hcdynamo.cz/ (I imagine this would sell out or at least come close)

No games in Prague on the Friday or Saturday, but there is a game in Pardubice on the Friday night, which is only 1 hour from Prague by train. It's a relegation battle, so could be a decent game

I'd cancel it and arrange another company. There are usually only two reasons for a company to quote a price in another currency; convenience for the tourist or to charge a higher rate. Everywhere in the country uses Czech crowns, apart from several places in central Prague which offer lousy rates.

Yeah it's looking good for the Wednesday. Sparta finished second, and will find out their opponents for the quarter final by the end of next week. Just need to hope they lose one of the first four games to ensure a fifth game Slavia also looking good for the next round as they only need to win 2 out of their next 5. Was at my teams play-off game yesterday which chalked up an impressive 94 penalty minutes. Certainly more interesting than the regular season games!

at that time in the evening you're best bet will be Wenceslas Square

I think that £20 for north c4, c5, d1, d2 is fair, although it should be cheaper as you move away from the halfway line. Same with the east and west stands, the view is awful in the first few rows, but does get better as you from the middle upwards. Pricing needs to be gradual, rather than simply north/south and east/west.

the boat doesn't run on Mondays during the low season

yeah the away fans have half the stand behind the goal. Def somewhere in the region of 1500-2000

I was in Trnava a few weeks ago and had a scout around. Wrote a brief blog post which can be found here. More information on Bratislava to come

I don't think you can - It looks fairly simple though. Just need to copy paste chunks of text into a translator. You'll need to register for an account too

Bottom left corner of the seating plan, next to Gate 5. The yellow seats directly behind the goal are next to the Scotland end,

given the Scotland end tickets have sold out, home end tickets are available on this website http://www.vstupenkyfotbal.cz/ tickets are 250, 450 and 700 kc and you can print them out at home; more details here https://repre.fotbal.cz/vstupenky-na-pripravu-se-skotskem-jdou-dnes-do-prodeje/a2111

Think there is just one terminal at Charleroi. It's not the biggest airport, so you should be fine. Just make sure you're one of the first off the plane

Was thinking of going to that game. Bohemians end of course :-)

tram #9 from Wenceslas square or Narodni trida They are at home on the Sunday I think.

Aside from the usual touristy places (basically anywhere with a view), there are a couple of pubs/restaurants that were probably decent enough several years ago, but are possibly ones to avoid now. U Vejvodů (pub/restaurant) First visited this for the friendy in 2008, and then qualifier in 2010. After moving to Czech I stopped here whenever I was in Prague. The positives include; plenty of tables, open late (and serving food till 2 am), the beer is reasonable, and it's fairly central. However, I've noticed it becoming an increasing tourist trap in recent years, with all sorts of extra hidden charges, lousy service, and horrendous food. Acceptable place to drink a Plzen or two, but that's where I'd draw the line. U Fleků (microbrewery/restaurant) Apparently this is the oldest brewery in Prague, and they only serve their own dark beer which isn't available anywhere else. Whilst expensive (59 Czk for 0.4 l), it's also excellent, and possibly one of my favourite dark beers. They also have a waiter doing the rounds offering shots of Becherovka and Slivovice (obviously these are not free!). I've never eaten here, but the food looked pretty average. If you really like dark beer and want to try something a bit different, then it's worth stopping by, otherwise, it won't be of much interest to you.

Sorry, i meant central Prague. The quality of food and drink definitely improves outside the main tourist areas, but the service can still be very slow at times. Sometimes you wait in what feels like eternity just for a menu. I also recommend areas such a Zizkov and Vinohrady

Would agree with that. Problem with Prague is that many places cater for tourists who will never return, resulting in poor quality food and drink (which people think is amazing, although they have nothing to compare it to). And to round it off, these places have hidden charges for snacks on the table, as well as dreadful service at an additional 10%.
