It'll be different in Stockholm compared to Skopje as it's a tourist destination and won't feel so flat.

A great city and a savage spot for partying. This will be my 3rd time in Sweden in 4 years and loved the last two occasions. Our accommodation is bang in the middle of things too rolo Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.


Delighted youre making this trip! If its half as much craic as we had in Skopje it'l be amazing! We'll have a blast over there Im sure, expensive place but hopefully u know the ropes.

I arrived in Bari on the Monday before the game and it was good craic, the game was on the Wednesday and was great to be able to have a nice nite on the booze on the monday before the mayhem the next nite! Maybe some trip I'll stay on after the match for a couple of days if ive the money to, and see wat its like! 

Ah it's only a little bit more expensive than Dublin. Maybe 6 or 7 euro a pint but everything else is the same price as Ireland. You can buy beer much cheaper in the state controlled off licences for the same price as in Ireland. The only thing is they close at 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

The Swedes are fierce friendly and love a good party. We'll be in good hands  Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

Great stuff! Will be trying to make this trip, def. 

Ringerbell, I've been reading different things on here about how tough tickets will be for Sweden, so its hard to say. 5% of a 50k allocation is 2500. You should be ok.

I booked that boat hotel from 20th to the 24th. good choice lads. we ll all go bushing buckfast style before we hit the pubs seeing as pints are unreal expensive

Im travelling to the euros with no tickets but reckon ill probably get all if i can haggle properly so i wouldnt worry about tickets for aways, even if you travel ticketless chances are you ll get one which might cost ya more.

Gspain on the forum is the man to ask. hes been to loads of aways and knows his stuff about getting tickets

am st holder and cant wait to renew,but am not so flush with the reddies so wont be able to go to many aways, you's reckon this should decide who gets most of the tickets for the finals. why?

i see all over the place "AWAY TRAVELLERS OVERLOOKED FOR TICKETS" as i say i would love to be able to travel but its not always feesible, what about S.T. holders who NEVER miss a home game, friendly or not. 

There has to be a better was of distribution of tickets than now.....

huh? what do you mean i "reckon this should decide who gets most of the tickets for the finals". my point was if anyone plans to go to an away game regardless if they re an ST holder or not can get sorted one way or the other. 2 of my mates got euros tickets ahead of me and they never went to any qualifier AFAIK. ST holders obviously should get priority but there ll always be tickets available on the touts or oppositions side as well

Horror stories aside. Are there any pubs that are relatively cheap for pints? are vodka and cokes/jack daniels

I was in Gothenburg and Stockholm on hols last year. +/-€7 for a glass of wine, +/-€8 a pint and I even paid €12 for a pint in one place. Took a train from Gothenburg to Stockholm, was €60. Was nice and all but very hard on the pocket. When I got back I was told by a Swedish fella that the place in Stockholm to hang out is Soder (the south), a bit cheaper as lots of students hang out there and it's not bang in the city centre, a bit more trendy too...

I couldn't find a bar that was cheap. I was in stockholm 3 years ago and it was €7/8 for a pint. We stopped over in Stockholm on the way to Talinn in November and were paying €8/9 a pint. Don't know about shorts really but I'd imagine prices would be similar.

Hoping to get to this and Germany next year Clap 
 
Would love to do Vienna but given the close proximity between this and Germany away choices had to be made and Germany was the winner given it's the 2nd last qualifier and could be a deicder on where we finish in the group.

The difference here is if we had to go from Stockholm to Copenhagen or Gothenburg we'd know in advance. Booking opens 90 days beforehand and you can book one ways from about 180 SEK / €20. Takes 5 hours on the train (it's a seven hour drive).
