PapofGlencoe Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Glad i read the above about the allocation of the group positions. I had worked out some likely destinations with a similar idea to others. it's a free for all really isn't it? could be any of the ten destinations. not even expecting a ticket to be honest so i suppose just being in germany will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think your best bet is to be ready for the UEFA ticket process commencing on Oct 3rd. I'll bid for a few matchday two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Fae Hamilton Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Yeah, I think the way to do this is get yourself to Germany for a Date Range that at least covers all Match Days in 1 Set of Games, i.e The 1st, 2nd or 3rd Games in the Group Stage. You could do that on a 4/5 day trip if you arrive very early on the 1st Day and Leave very late on the last day. It is possible to cover 2 entire Match Days in the Group stage with an 8 Day Trip. Weds 19th June, arriving very early and leaving Thursday 27th June very late allows you to hit ALL 2nd and 3rd Games in every Group. That's what I'm booked up for! I prey to God we make it (-: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) I’ve taken the plunge. Staying eleven days, so in Germany for the first two games in every group. Booked hotels up round dortmund / Düsseldorf (nicer one for the last few days as I’ll need a bit of comfort by that time). Every team plays in that area during the first two games, some of them twice. About £1500 for return flights and eleven nights accommodation. Hoping for a draw on Tuesday so I don’t have a month of fretting. Edited September 9, 2023 by biffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Booked 14-24th in Essen as a base. Wlll sort rest out when draw is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I’ve made bookings in Frankfurt & Düsseldorf. Like most I’ll revisit them after the draw is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Fae Hamilton Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 Flights are going up in Price. I originally booked Glasgow-Frankfurt, Out 19th June, back 27th. It does us for all 2nd and 3rd Group Games regardless of where they take place. Original Price = £215 Now = £360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Booked digs in Essen for 10 days from 14th onwards. Will worry about the rest after the draw. Fully refundable but seems a good base. If we are first game then we'll book digs in the host city then travel to Essen next day. After the 24th i'm waiting for the draw to be made.

wanderer Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Group of us booked an apartment in a small town just south of Bonn. Good transport links for games, and close enough to plenty of places that we can keep ourselves busy when we have down time between game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auchinyell Sox Change Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 this may be handy if on budget / cant use on inter city fast trains , but seems you can by changing more- and includes city travel u-bahn/bus etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reidster78 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Good find. I've booked a stay in cologne from 13th for 2 weeks. Will work out the rest based on the draw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Fae Hamilton Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 That Rail Ticket could be immense. You could split up the long distances between games by just staying in a different City every day and work your way there. That could cut down on Hotel costs too as non-Match Day Cities will have much cheaper accommodation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoony Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Premier Inn booked in Wuppertal, easy reach distance to 4 or 5 grounds, making base there and travelling to games. Pretty reasonable, no upfront costs and can be cancelled until day before u go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jzw85 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Can only make the first 5-6 days with my rotation. Hoping to base in cologne for a few days. Anyone taking kids ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonhibs Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Booked accommodation for 20-25th in Düsseldorf and am in the ballot for tickets on that assumption. Not a SSC member so will just see what I get in the ballot and enjoy the experience. Firmer plans to be made once the draw is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Booked flights to Hannover we are going to base ourselves there. Around 1 and a half to 3 hours away from 8 stadiums. So get Stuttgart/Munich booked 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All West and South so probably stay Bonn for a week and then Munich for a few days if that ticket comes in. Sods law means Scotland will be in Berlin though. Seems loads of theme parks, museums, water parks etc for the kids so should be loads for them busy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite good prices and good transport to stadiums around Dortmund. Didn’t realise there was water parks and theme parks. Sounds good I’ll have a look might just book there then for the first 5 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads to do for kids. 15 minutes away from Düsseldorf Weeze airport, where Ryanair fly to from Edinburgh usually pretty cheap. Easy drive to most of the grounds or you can get a train from Venlo. Munich and Berlin you can get a flight from Weeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Fly out on the 13th to Dusseldorf. Basing ourselves in Dusseldorf for the first week, then Cologne for the 2nd week. Plenty of time to travel if we need to elsewhere for games. If we make it out the groups then i'll fly in and out for games.

GroundsKeeper Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Camper van for 2nd and third games. For first game will need to fly and either meet camper van in Germany of fly back to the bonnie (scotland). If we do progress, will fly in and out for games.

As logan says yes. On the 2nd December we will know our opponents, stadiums and dates. I also expect match tickets to be distributed via SSC before christmas as UEFA want our cash ASAP.
