Hi lads,
Has anyone ever been to a Bundesliga game in Germany?
We often hear the price is very reasonable and the beer and atmosphere is top.
Thinking of Dortmund/Munich/Hamburg/Schalke as possibilities.
Appreciate all feedback.
Cheers!
I'd be interested in this as well. Was thinking about doing a trip with the brother and a couple of brothers in law.
Not sure about the beer I was in the Allianz last year and got to the top of the queue only to see it was alkoholfrei. . . Right enough they were playing City so it could be different for domestic matches.
Other than that we went to a CL game the tickets cost £35 and it was class apart from the no beer.
Saw this whilst googling! Very cheap at 60 euro return out of London!!

There was a lot of us lads went to Hamburg for a match but we ended up in that many strip bars and hookers we forgot to go the match...but for what it's worth Hamburg was good and the beer too

;D ;D ;D
Aye heard Hamburg is a wild spot.
Dortmund would probably be my first pick but from first glance online the tickets were steep.
Screen where did you buy the CL tickets?
i spent a year in Munich back in 2001-2002, and got to see the Bayern-United match. at the time, we were able to walk up to the stadium, and buy the tickets from the turnstiles, and at that time i got mine for about 30 Marks, which was about €20, but i can assume things have changed since. also saw Bayern-Dortmund, as well as the Munich derby, when 1860 were in the Bundesliga. they were also still playing in the old Olympic stadium, so not sure what the prices would be now.

We were over to Munich with work and took a punt we might get a ticket for the game. Bayern website was sold out but Man City's had plenty of tickets so we got in the away end. In fairness I think you've a very slim chance to get in the home end unless you know a season ticket holder.
Went to a couple of the lesser clubs' games years ago but I can't remember a thing about prices.
On both occasions the grounds were quite empty apart from the "ultras" who went behind one of the goals and generated a great atmosphere.
Would love to take in a St Pauli game, they're top of the Bundesliga II atm and have a great support, also based in the red light district in Hamburg so would kill a few birds with one stone with them ;D

Our hotel was next to their ground, quite a small ground too (not sure of their official capacity). They hadn't a game on when we were there as we'd have rather went to that than watch that Hamburg dort

St Pauli are aligned with Celtic aren't they?

Yeah close ties between the two clubs.
Yes and funny enough Hamburg are one of the most right wing teams in Europe and are very cosy with none other than Rangers! Though I had always thought borussia Dortmund were the hipsters team of choice.
Never knew of Hamburg's tie with Rangers.
Just googled right/left wing club sides in Europe. Some I know, some I didn't!!
Shamrock Rovers?? Surely not??

Thought Roma were more the "left wing" team in Rome.
FC St Pauli have to be the smuggest team around. Darlings of the football hipsters and anoraks.
Lazio would make most teams on that second list look left wing lol.
Always saw Liverpool as a very leftwing club, but politics don't really come into English football nowadays, such is the amount of money pumped into it
