What would the story be with getting tickets for aways for the WC, haven't gone to any aways yet but want to start during this campaign. Do I apply through here or the Fai?

Dont remember seeing this place. Prices must have come down. Booked from the 20th to the 23rd. Going over on the Wednesday.

Dont remember seeing this place. Prices must have come down. Booked from the 20th to the 23rd. Going over on the Wednesday. Sweet  Booked in there from the 21st to the 24th myself. I always try and stay the night after the match as I'm usually dying and don't want to have to check out or be disturbed  Can't wait.....once you get the bug for travelling to away games it's near impossible to stop  Ive had so many horror stories the day after games that I dunno why I keep leaving the day after. Just cheaper, I suppose.  I find its very quiet and depressing after all the fans have moved on. I like to get over a couple of days before the match. Did it in Tallinn and there was such a relaxed atmosphere on the Wednesday afternoon, only a couple of hundred fans around at most. And I got to see the city properly which I couldnt have done flying in on the thurs. Thats why we're staying 3 nites this trip, to see some of the city really.

Did the same in Tallinn. Flew in Wednesday, out Sunday. Would rather have flown out Saturday.

I'm not booking anything for this trip til after Kstan, mostly until I see how the finances are. Also until the location is confirmed (although I see little likelihood of this game being anywhere but Stockholm.... they usually play one or two outside Stockholm and the Kstan game is confirmed for Malmo). I also like booking flights and accommodation together, so I can get the cheapest options and the Ryanairs haven't gone on sale yet (and flying via London is usually the cheapest option too).

Hostels are cheaper, although you have to pay 10% down on those on hostelworld. Also, not sure if I'll be on my own (although I doubt it..... the lad I went to Tallinn with just got a new job with good pay and great holidays).

I might book a twin room I suppose.

just booked in here from 21st to 23rd not 100% sure if il have the money to make this trip but it free cancellation so no harm in having the place booked

Okay, I've booked that place for two nights. Chances are it'll only be one night and I'll be taking the train up from Copenhagen. I've sent sj.se an email to see how far in advance I can book train tickets. They haven't got back to me yet. Their prices go up like airlines so time is important. Seat61.com says 90 days beforehand so we'll see.

well i cant do kstan or faroes because of the cost of the trip and can see germany being tight for tickets since the allocation is only 5% but hopeful of getting 1s for sweden and austria just need get funds for both trips(which means finding a job )
