Parklife Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm going on a stag doo to Berlin in February and we're looking to go to a game. Hertha are away the weekend we're in Berlin, so we're looking at going to either Wolfsburg or Leipzig (preference). It's often stated that tickets to football in Germany will include your travel. Can anyone shed any light on the truthfullness of this and also the limitations (both Wolfsburg and Leipzig appear to be about 1hr on the train from Berlin - is this too far?)? Thanks.

deecie Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 It differs between clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMcD Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) The free travel which is included in most clubs tickets is only for local trains/trams/underground etc. within the local municipal area. In the case of Leipzig, this is the MDV, which starts slightly north of Halle & Leipzig. Numerous tramlines go from Leipzig main station out to the stadium As regards Wolfsburg, take an ICE to Wolfsburg main station. Volkswagen Arena is a 10-15 minute walk. If you get on a train in Berlin and try and use your match ticket to get to either Leipzig or Wolfsburg, the ticket inspector will laugh at you and charge you the full walk-up fare.

Parklife Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Thanks man. My brother went before and said he didn't pay for his journey to Wolfsburg. Will quiz him on it later. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gspain Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Only local travel included in almost all cases as per above. However if you are going to the game in a group there is huge discount available on group travel. 5 of you on the Regional trains could travel very cheaply once you go together. Are Union Berlin at home? I want to go and see them play at home as I'm told their support is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were hoping that was the Friday night and the Leipzig game the Saturday afternoon. On 9/5/2016 at 8:57 AM, VASCO said: What weekend are you going?

SteveMcD Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 14th/15th Feb are CL days. So the whole BL Fri/Sat/Sun fixtures will be based around whatever CL night Bayern/Dortmund/Gladbach/Leverkusen are due to play on. Going on past experience, the dates for both the BL & BL2 fixtures wont be set until sometime between Christmas & New-Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there this January and it was minus 10 at night and minus 4 during the day. Snow on the ground and brilliantly sunny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASCO Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Definitely go and see Union Berlin. You can get there easily enough on public transport. The atmosphere is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
