Topic: Dortmund Away 7th April

[HMHB]

who are your flights with from Düsseldorf to Dublin?

eurowings

Spurs got 3400 I think I read. (If someone can confirm).
Utd was 3117 I think?

I guess we need to know if before/after corporate/club for both and past history of other Dortmund allocations.

Is it safe to assume anyone with United would get sorted, or is there a situation where it would start with say anyone with 3/4 from this season, then anyone with Utd. It depends if Utd was all at once or staggered - I can't remember? If it was all at once it suggests the 3117 that got Utd tickets as long as the Dortmund allocation is above 3117 then everyone would be sorted?? Or am I doing 2+2 and getting 5 there?

United criteria initially was any 2 or more from 8 previous games going back to last season....then 1 or more from same 8. So, they may just go with Utd (all of whom would have at least 1 previous, plus Utd.) then offer the small remainder to those with just 1 of those previous 8 games, like those who missed out in the 1 sale for United.

Just booked one of the last rooms left in Dortmund!

[wosman]

Looks like I'll be traveling alone for this one, anyone else staying in the A&O Dusseldorf?

Yeah, we're in there Weds- Fri. A and O are cheap but sound, stayed in the Hamburg one

So if 3117 at utd needed 2 from the last 8 (4 this/4 last) then it suggests if we get at least 3117 then to fill it they should just say 'everyone with Utd' but I doubt they can do that because some will have gone to the other games this year but been unable to do utd, so that would not be a fair way?

Whats the situation with hotels ? If dortmund is fully booked where are people staying and is it going to be easy enough to get back there the night of the game ?

[SWR]

On a Stag in Hamburg flying out 7th. Works out beautifully.

Cheers. Ill probably look to do the same

[Alistairlfc]

Was a proper struggle that hotels situation but finally got sorted in an apartment in Dortmund centre £140 2 nights for 3 of us, decent.

[HighFlyingBirds]

Sorted. Stansted to Eindhoven train to Dortmund £100

[riggerz]

Sorted Birmingham to Dusseldorf Weds. Train to Bochum. Ibis hotel opposite main station in Bochum (£35 per night). Train into Dortmund on day of game. Back to Brum on Friday. Happy days. If it's as good as last night it'll be a blast

[Shanklygates]

All sorted now and pleased. Went from nothing at 7pm when I got home to 2 +1 nights booked, 2 countries, cheap flights and a mixture of experiences by 10 - should be a great trip regardless of the result!

Hope they've sorted the security entering the stadium after problem spurs had.

[beebster]

A&O Dortmund Hotel/Hostel i've booked.

I booked three rooms today but not sure how many I'm gonna need now so if anyone wants a 6 person room for £255 give us a PM.

Also might have a spare quadruple room for £170 but can't confirm just yet.

Wednesday 6th-8th btw.

PM me, mine don't seem to work.
I'd take the 4 or 6 off you mate.

Uefa charges mean fuck all and are a complete joke. Look at our game. Utter pricks

[carl123uk]

Absolutely gutted I can't make this. Was hoping the away leg was 2nd. Have a good trip everyone

[JohnRed]

Liverpool to Dortmund Ryanair Return works out at £273, it didn't give me the april 8th to return on but went to the week after (the 15th) then selected the back arrow key and it took me to the 8th

[ACLE]

Where's the Cologne flights from?

Got ours from Edinburgh with Eurowings, out Wednesday & back Friday.

[Lenstar]

Looking at train costs at about €38 return from cologne to Dortmund, it works out just as cheap for 2 of us to get a car for the 24 hour period. Worth considering.

[hoppyLFC]

Germanwings,  12.05 from Dublin mate.

Dead cheap but there's only two buses to Dortmund on the Wednesday, 9:25 and 22:15. Our flight gets in at 10:05 so think we'll just get the train

[Tombellylfc]

for those staying in dusseldorf the night of the game is it going to be possible to get train/Bus back that evening. does anybody know how late the trains run

[Alistairlfc]

They're basically 24hrs, Last one is 23.53 but first is 01.44. Won't be a problem getting back.

Nice one mate, ours gets in at 10 though so will have to get the train

[bruffell06]

Booked Liverpool - Dublin - Dusseldorf. 6th-8th £165 each

[ronnnie yates]

just a heads up about easyjet , minutes after the draw , prices for wed- fri luton -dortmund , started at 60 rose to 120 then confirmed at 185 , thats the worse rises ive ever had , to be fair , they gave me an option to cancel , but went ahead , thought in the general scheme of things no real other costs to add { train tickets, ale for the trains etc etc , looked at it last night it was 342 , how the hell these air companies get away with it is beyond me . worked in germany for a few years and their are some cracking deals on the trains , so if you can fly to anywhere around the ruhr region do it , and then go onto deutsches bahn { englisch option } look for regional rail tickets , group bookings etc etc ,

[ooter1]

very tempted to do this, haven't done a euro away for a while so not a hope of a ticket but i'd say it'll be a great couple of days regardless.
anyone found any cheap accommodation in dusseldorf, everywhere seems to be big money?

[Thomas]

airbnb for accommodation. Used it a number of times and it is brilliant

Not defending Easy Jet but they work on a certain amount of seats per fare price...once sold it jumps to the next price increase
In the scramble and not many direct options available it is easy to understand why it jumped, not them just seeing the Liverpool draw and bumping it up
Every airline price went up.....they all work off the same metric

Yes easyjet jumps just from sheer demand.

The ibis Dortmund city was £53 few minutes after draw. I booked my flight first and went back to book hotel and it had gone up to £120+ per night.

[davidsteventon]

Thought this would be an easy away but it's turning into a difficult and expensive one isn't it?

Booking early is the key, we got trains, flights and hotel for £100 each return wed-fri

[stevesteve]

Only thing in struggling with now is hotel.
Might stay about 5 miles out as it's a bit cheaper and tickets of course 😀
