bute-killiefan Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I have a pal in Berlin who is a season ticket holder with Hertha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammy_boy Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I know its not Bundesliga but Union Berlin is ment to be a cracking place to go. We missed out on going due to the game changing from a Friday to a Monday but from what I could see tickets can be bought online and printed off. 3 sides of the ground is standing and they are usually not far off capacity. Only certain games are available online for public sale and unsold tickets for bigger games are can be bought from the club shop near the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Did Hamburg vs Hertha Berlin a couple of years back and it was a decent experience. Did Dortmund for the Scotland game and it's some stadium. Loved Berlin when I went last summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prahakillie Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Perhaps not a popular choice but RB Leipzig might be worth a look. Not so easy to get to from Scotland though. I was thinking of driving there some weekend. I would also like to see Eintracht Frankfurt some time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Went to Leipzig earlier in the year for a wedding. It wasn’t too hard to get to but it was a days travelling. We flew Glasgow-Berlin. Train from the Airport into the city and then changed for a train to Leipzig which was about two hours I think. The cheap beer made the journey fly by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Getting tickets varies on a club by club basis. Some it is incredibly easy, eg. Hertha Berlin, some are incredibly difficult, eg, Bayern. Almost all clubs have a decent English version on their website and most have a print at home option for printing tickets. I’d personally recommend Berlin, Hamburg or Dusseldorf as a base as all offer a decent combination of being easy to get to, good nightlife and sights and a number of clubs within easy reach. Dusseldorf especially offers a number of clubs within an hour or so on the train and is a much better place to spend a weekend that nearby Dortmund. The schedule has been confirmed up until Matchday 22 which is on the weekend of the 9th February, after that is still TBC but there is generally 1 game on a Friday night and 3 on Sunday with the rest being 15.30 on Saturday. Depending on where you are you could potentially get 2 games on the weekends, especially if you include Bundesliga 2 which, although not as high as standard, still offers a great atmosphere and experience (eg Union Berlin and St Pauli) If have a weekend in mind and aren’t that fussed where you want to go I’d suggest sticking in the dates on SkyScanner from Glasgow/Edinburgh and just putting the destination as Germany. The way it will show up the prices to each city, you can use that to then see where ties in with games on the said weekend and go from there. One thing to bear in mind, and is a common misconception is that your match ticket only allows for local (ie. within the city limits) public transport, so local buses, trams, S-Bahn trains etc. It doesn’t include going from city to city. Getting between cities in Germany is very easy and efficient though not the cheapest so worth bearing in mind if you plan on city hopping. Deutche Bahn website has an english version and is very handy, they have a UK call centre as well if you need any further info. Between all the Scotland aways and taking in a good few random European games I've been to a lot of games on the continent and Germany ranks in my mind as the highest in terms of experience so highly recommend a trip over, if you need any more info and want a hand putting a trip together send me a PM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Y Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Thanks for all that info RDM. I'm heading to Berlin in a party of 6 at the end of Feb so this is really useful. Cheers Edited December 1, 2017 by Mister Y I'm not the party! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killieeurostar Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 As alot on here know I travel often to watch Borussia Moenchengladbach, i can get you tickets for most home games via a good freind. Easy access from Dusseldorf, let me know if i can help. My last trip was two weeks ago to Berlin, hoping to return in February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
