| Was too young to go last time but keen on going to France, been going to the games regularly since 2010 and became a ST holder this year, was wondering how much it cost last time and how much you'd expect to bring to France taking into account Travel accommodation food and all the rest? |

Poland was dirt cheap for living, beer/food was for nothing. Probably spent €60/day Logistics wise, probably spent €250 on flights/trains Accommodation about €30/night Tickets €120/game Total for me (2 games, 7 nights) probably a little over €1k

For 12 days I reckon about €2,500. 3 tickets = 300 Accom= 500 Flights = 250 Internal Travel = 200 Then youd want about 100 quid a day. Obviously can be done cheaper but I'd imagine there'll be some expensive nights out, so will probably average around that.

Completely incomparable between the 2. food/drink/accomodation/train etc. France will be at least twice as expensive for most things. Better off just looking at France as seeing how you can save a few bob here and there. Lads were going for 3 course meals in Poland every night due to how cheap it was. France will defo be more of a self-catering job. Buying bread, cans, wines from shops and trying to save money in that way. As even when the Polish double their prices to make the most of the fans money, it was still dirt cheap. Reckon France will be quite expensive. |

France will be way more expensive than Poland. I was at the 3 matches but flew home after the Spain match and flew back for a night for the Italy match. I'd say in all that I spent about €1.3K in total. That was €360 for match tickets, about €400 for flights & trains, €200 for accom and the rest on food & drink. I'll only be going to 1 or 2 games max in France but I'd say I'll spend a good lot more than I did in Poland. ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018. As You Were Three in a row |

Food and drink prices in France are likely to be 3-5 times greater than Poland. There'll be no 4zl/90c pints in France that's for sure. Supermarkets/Campsites will keep the cost down. Eating and drinking in restaurants every night will cost a fortune. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

Lads I can't see how France will cost €2500-3000 for a fortnight. Double Poland (1.3-2k) is what is being suggested. Here's what I was hoping for a fortnight in France: Flights €150 Accom €250 Car €300 Food €250 Drink €150 (cans) Tickets €150 (hopefully all 3 matches) Total €1250 Please clarify where I am under budgeting? |

I'm thinking along the same for the three group games. You will be there for 11 days minimum so think €2,500 will be what's needed.....and even at that it will be basic accommodation, very unlikely to be direct flights and I think you would have to be keeping an eye on what you're spending.

If your talking 250 quid for two weeks of food thats 18 euro a day, France is proper expensive even in fast food places, think a big mac meal cost me 10 euro there last summer, you'd be talking 25 euro a day for food id say and the same for accommodation 18 euro a day wouldn't do you I don't think especially when places will raise the prices during the tournament

Firstly, flights will definitely be more than €150. Car, €300? Are you hiring a car or driving over? Now you realize how big France is? You'll be filling it up regularly when we're moved around from city to city. Also if you're drinking how are you going to get back to the car? Taxis/Trains/Buses. Accom at €250 for 13/14 days isn't even leaving €20 per night accom? Now best of luck if you can find somewhere every evening in every part of France near to where Ireland are playing for that. Drink €150? That's €10 a day on booze, so before you've even started you've ruled out any possibility of having the craic and banter in a pub because €10 a day will get you one or two pints max. Tickets, €150? You may not get the €50 option ticket, what happens if the only tickets you can get are Cat 1's? I'm sorry but you're being incredibly naive.

650eur for 9 nights flew via London to Berlin. We stayed outside the main cities in Gniezo near Poznan and Elblag about an 1hr from Gdansk and spent a night in Berlin on the way and on the way home. Dirt cheap for food and drink got three nights in hotel @ Gniezno for 30euro a night. Think the Sheraton in Poznan was about 400eur a night during the tournament.

I have found campsites that are €150-200 for 3 nights for 5 people. I.e. €15 pp a night.
As I said, cans not pubs. I can manage to spend €10 on drink on a night out in Ireland - just cans. We won't be getting hammered every single day, we'll be driving.
I've found flights for €150. Car will be split between 5. The €300 each for car is including all surcharges. Petrol will be split between 5. Plus tolls which will be under €100 each I'd guess. 50% of tickets for 3 matches will be under €150. If you say one Cat 4 ticket, 1 cat 3 ticket and 1 Cat 2 ticket that is still only about €185. |

Found flights to where? Bearing in mind you could see Ireland down in the South of France first. You're gone over budget on tickets already, if it rises over to €185? Also, how are you going to get from the camp site to the stadium and back out? Parking will be more or less impossible? IMO each to their own but personally I think you are leaving yourself with little or no margin for error, for the sake of saving an extra €400/€500 and being comfortable. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

My thoughts exactly, as I said each to their own and of course you can limit yourself to circa €500 (hypothetical figure) for accommodation for argument sake but it is impossible to budget for food/drink/match tickets imo. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Not a bad budget plan, unfortunately the Euro's are not in Calcutta. Back in the real world. Flights will cost approx 300 Accommodation will cost approx 40e per night. You might get a car for 300 - then you have to add in petrol and since all 3 group games are in different cities - that will add to your bill and then you will have tolls and parking too. Food will be approx 400. The Euro's a once in a life time opportunity and you want to go over there and enjoy yourself. Personally I'll be looking at budgetting about 2500 for 9 nights. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

Oh no, don't get me wrong, i'll be bringing the emergency extra €500 with me. But that's what I'm planning to spend and wondering why some are planning on spending so much more. Yes, if tickets come to €185 its's slightly over budget but they might come to €125 aswell if you're lucky. Getting to and from stadium will be a subject of debate, but that is the same for everyone. We're young and will have cans so will park on outskirts of city and will walk 30-40 mins if needs be. |

Got a down payment on the camper done today, should come to 400 each for three weeks without petrol (no idea how much that is, i don't drive, but thatll be transport/accommodation sorted). Tickets hopefully; no idea.

Everyone will have different budgets for this. You have probably under budgeted but if you think it's possible to be done then fair play. Not everyone going to have the same plans for eating and drinking over there so no one's budget going to be the same anyway. We rented a car in Poland and always just tried park somewhere on side of the road for free be doing same if rent a car in france.

France is not a big beer drinking country. A bit like Italy.

Of all the nations of europe, France is probably one of a very few I've no contacts for  (though did once live with a french burd who also had a mate who'd easily pass for model material but she fkn hated me cause I was always drunk) I've already considered making a trip over in May to a few locations where games will be and going on an all out woman hunt for exactly as you've said Though the golden rule is make sure Deco stays at home as we dont want them saying, "No means no Deco, no means NO, NO means no Deco, no means NO" ------------- 1312 |

I think it cost me in the region of €1200-1500. That included 10 days over there, flights, hotels (~€30 for a double) and general living expenses. didn't get pissed once which i guess kept the cost down. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

Cost of Euro 2016 for fans will depend of how it will go regarding terrorism in France. If it will be quiet till the summer then obviously will be very expensive as Paris, and most France regions starting high season in june and will be packed regardless the Euros. If there will be other attacks and constant threatening then, for first, many of the potenial non-football related tourist will give it up and many usual fooball travelers will surely choose comfort of the sofa instead of jihadi style clash or sth. Then prices can go radiculously down (as in Egipt and lesser extent- Tunisia for example). But then again not many people will take advantage. I personaly think about driving. Not that far away and interesting road trip through Germsmany. Got family friends in Paris so might be handy to sleep for free and also have local guides who help you to avoid the worst tourist traps. Closer to German border we play the better. Can even sleep in some german motel in some small city/off motorway, got sausage on the breakfast and leave early for the games. In this scenario tickets for the game will be hardest for budget and also hard to get as demand might be overwhelming (still depend on the situation with terrorism). If you drive you can`t drink too much so obvious saving here :). Petrol equaly or little bit more expensive. Probably around february/march we will start serious preparations.

High season is not June. In fact last year my brother got 2 weeks half price and an extra week free on a camping site in June. France holidays in August. Lived in France for nearly a year. Dijon. Between Lyon and Paris. Have inter railed around France too and been there for two Ireland games in paris.. As a result love to see Bordeaux and Toulouse. Oh never calculated how much the trip to Poland cost. , ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |

Reckon about 1000 /1200€, drove up from Austria,night in Berlin,based ourselves in Gdansk for most of the trip in a campsite but opted for the luxury of a Sopot hotel for the last few nights and spent a night in Gniezno. France will obviously cost more, renting apartments, trains,buses, more expensive booze etc. ------------- Nathan Collins - The best Kildare baller since Johnny Doyle! |

Don't think he meant it like that. Some were telling us we won't enjoy it on a low budget which isn't correct. Thanks to all for input and advice. :) |

400e each for 3 weeks in a campervan? My only experience of a campervan was in Poland and I think it worked out about 500 a week with everything included. |

Campervan and supermarket for cans and food be the way to keep the costs down. Otherwise I imagine it will cost a fortune. |

Stein Travel said here they could have a package for 10 nights 999Euro including flights, Accommodation, and Match Transfers, I'd say that's a complete underestimation but great if true ------------- I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes. |

Not good for the Irish Times..he should have checked the Uefa site at least and seen that we're not guaranteed position 4 in the group. ------------- "Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur".

Flights from Shannon to Stansted to Tours on the 9th and back the same way on the 23rd for €160 return. Tours is an ideal location (before knowing the draw) as it is in central France and there will be no 10 hr drives to the first venue. Halfway between Bordeaux (3.5hrs) and Paris (2.5hrs) and I make it there is a 9/18 or 50% chance our first game is in Paris or Bordeaux. |
