They allowed it for England no bother.

It was the same last year. That one was £25/£30 a ticket depending on the stand and the package was £125/£150. So the price has went up £25 per package but it's 2 friendlies this year compared to 1 last year.

For Portugal it's 2hr50mins on the train between Lisbon and Porto and 8 of their last 11 competitive matches have been in either of them with most being Lisbon. 2 of the remaining 3 were against Luxembourg where presumably they expected a smaller crowd. They have spread their 4 friendlies across the country in March and June so I'd think they'll be back to Lisbon and Porto for the Nations League more than likely.

They won their Nations League Group B last time round just like we did.

Booked Portugal this morning. Saturday-Tuesday so doesn't really matter too much where it is as plenty of time to get there and back. Croatia I'm holding off, they've not used Maksimir stadium as often as they used to after the damage a few years back. Poland being November means still a good number of budget airlines to go on sale yet so can take my time with that one.

You might find for some meals and a lot of your drinking you won't be cashless. Germany still clings on to using cash far more than most other places in Europe and you'll find some places either not taking card or needing a decent minimum spend before they let you use it.

Heading to Bamberg after the Hungary game for a couple of days. Applied for a few random tickets in the 2nd UEFA ballot so holding off planning much else until the outcome of that but will make use of the Deutschland ticket and get some regional trains for daytrips on days we aren't playing. Hoping the games being 3pm, 6pm and 9pm means I won't miss many of them travelling about.

If you miss your connection due to delays on the first train then you're fine to get the next available train, you don't need a flexible ticket for this. If you don't want to chance it there's a transfer time option when searching on the Deutsche Bahn website where you can increase the time to connect and it won't give you trains 6 or 7 minutes apart.

Cologne is VRS and Essen is VRR so normally they wouldn't be the same network but for the Euros the below seems to suggest for the 36 hour travel pass for ticket holders VRS and VRR will be treated as one network rather than separate. https://www.uefa.com/euro2024/event-guide/ticket-holders/

You're in the MVV network area. https://www.mvv-muenchen.de/fileadmin/mediapool/03-Plaene_Bahnhoefe/Netzplaene/MVV_Netzplan_S_U_R_T_X.pdf There's the MVV map, you're in between the airport and Erding both of which are covered by the network.

There's nowhere on the Stuttgart to Munich line that's part of MVV (other than Pasing but that won't impact the price) so you'll need to buy a ticket for the full journey.

Yes, I booked my train to Munich the day before bang on 11pm UK time the other night.

Augsburg is fine, loads book there for Munich when hotel prices are ridiculous like for example around Oktoberfest. Easy enough to get public transport back there too even late at night.

"Fans of all teams can also already apply for tickets for all matches until 12th December". So just like I said, nothing to do with any national associations. For someone who admitted they might be wrong you seem determined to prove me right.
