There’s a couple just after midnight but with game not finishing until around 11pm they will be difficult to catch If ICE then price may climb. There should be regional trains though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of eye watering fares on some of the routes I’ve looked at around game days. The whole German rail system seems to work on looking at potential demand and days of travel. Eg Fridays look dearer than other days throughout the whole year. So day of travel could skew your price. Also if you’ve already got at least 25,000 Scotland fans all looking to get from Munich to Cologne between games in addition to normal travellers, there is no way that everyone will get on trains at the times and/or at the cheap prices that everyone would like. Some of the fares released so far are also in to the €29 and €39 price ranges. So why not buy? In addition only 2 tickets can be bought with each match ticket and you get automatic seat reservations with these. (The tickets I’ve bought in the last week with automatic reservations don’t allow you to choose your seats but allocate you an unchangeable seat). It may then be a bit more hassle for bigger groups to get organised to buy tickets and also to get everyone to sit together on the train unless the system allows you to book multiple Euro 2024 train tickets together in one transaction and/or allow you to choose seats. I chose seats on my Euro 24 Ice train. I went first class though. Wonder if that’s the difference? it was dirt cheap on our train Düsseldorf to Stuttgart on the Saturday before our game.

Trains seem to be filling up and prices have gone up from €10 to €20 on some trains, this will probably double again nearer matchday. I am staying in Augsburg tae, Munich was tae expensive for me- I have booked Ice train at 01.15 after match but also going to buy the Deutschlandticket so I can use over the month of June, giving me the option of S Bahn trains out of Munich if I miss the 01.15 train I am expecting huge queue after match at Frottmaning metro but hoping German efficiency will get the metro trains moving quickly…. Looking at Bayern Munich forums, the games are all sold out & so the crowd at the metro will be the same & people indicate crowd/queue has usually gone in an hour after match.

stirlish Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Flight to Frankfurt arrives at 9pm. Booked train from airport to Augsburg that leaves at around midnight/ change at Frankfurt. Would we be able to jump into Frankfurt early, rather than hanging around the airport station? The tickets are train specific, but only want to jump on for 10 mins from airport and grab some food at the HBF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes +/- 13 minutes. There are quite a few places for getting something to eat, as well as a supermarket at the long-distance station, but doubt they'll be open after 9:00pm.

DoonTheSlope Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I’m jetting in from Dusseldorf the night before the game now. My digs for that night are right next to the Hbf and wondered if there’s any non ticketed Scotland events on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE TA in the weeg Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago (edited) ICE trains are not part of the 36-hour local transport ticket your match ticket entitles you to, nor are they part of the Deutschlandticket. Note that your 36 hour pass will only be valid for the ticketing-region* where the match is held, so is probably limited to Bus, Tram, U-Bahn (metro), and S-Bahn (suburban rail network). It will be valid on Regio and Regional Express trains in the area too, but make sure your destination is within if you're doing that. . *We don't really have an equivalent in Scotland, except maybe in Strathclyde. They're called Tarifverband in German. This is the MVV route map, for Munich and surroundings - this is the area covered by the match ticket for the first game against Germany.

Regional trains are part of the 36 hour travel and Deutschland ticket either. For ice you have to get extra tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
