Anyone going?
Thinking of going for the week on my Todd as I am learning German via Duo Lingo and want to practice butchering the language to their faces instead of to my smartphone.
I'll be based in Berlin and coincidently Union have a friendly with Bohemians of Dublin on the 9th if anyone is based there and fancies it. [Post edited 13 Jun 2022 11:50]

My brother and me are going to both games.We’ve booked for Zwickau for 3 days and then a couple of nights in Leipzig and possibly berlin for the weekend.
The German railways are doing a special deal on the trains for 9€ for a month,so we might be doing a bit of sightseeing too. |  | | |

Was definitely considering it but a bit underwhelmed by the opposition. Was also considering basing in Berlin - any excuse because it’s a great place.
However (hopefully) just about to start a new job and I am not sure my new employer will be that keen! |  | | |

My brother looked at staying in Berlin but he said it was too expensive,so we decided to go elsewhere. | | | |

I'll be there.
Just a word of caution with those 9 Euro tickets. They don't include IC or ICE trains so you can only use the local trains. The journey between Berlin and Halle for the Saturday game goes from a 1 hour 9 minute direct train with ICE to about 3 hours with a couple of changes.
I'm not sure why the club chose that opposition for the Wednesday night game. Logistical nightmare, especially for those considering basing themselves in Berlin. 3 hours 30 with the faster trains or 5 hours with the 9 euro ticket. |  | | |

I've had a look at a few days in Berlin, but as my house sale is going through atm I don't wanna commit myself just yet.
Got the time off work just in case, so will make a last minute decision |  |

My house sale has just fallen through, aaaargh.
Just applied for a new passport, so I'll leave the decision for a couple of weeks.
To be honest Saxony isn't the best place to visit, certainly if just going to the Halle match I will stay in Berlin. | | | |

Zwickau is a bit awkward, Halle is fairly straight forward. ICE train is easy, but book in advance to save your euros. | | | |

I've read Anthony Beevor's 'Berlin The Downfall 1945'.
My book does include my trip to Colditz which you can visit from Leipzig if you have not much else to do.

Nah, it's cool. Send me your email address and I'll forward the tickets. I don't think they can be split so just find someone at the ground that wants to go in maybe? | | | |
