For anyone flying into/staying in Frankfurt for Hoffenheim, how are you getting to Sinsheim where the ground is? Trains look fairly dear.

The advanced fare train tickets for west ham are out today. £37 for 2 people if you use the virgin city discount

Cheers, just been on and it’s not showing cheap fares yet?

Not a lot of choices for some reason Steve. Seem to be advance fares out around 9-10am then 8pm return

Looking at Frankfurt and commute in and out for Hoffenheim, think it’s about an hour 20 on the train .. Anyone doing the same?

Yeah, I fly into Frankfurt Mon evening, return home Wed afternoon, Lufthansa. Haven't looked yet, but train in and out same day to Sinsheim

Regional Train Travel (not ICE trains) is included with your match ticket (you must have it with you) to and from any of the below destinations on the day of the game up to 3am the day after the game.

If you're travelling from Frankfurt I think that means you have to buy a ticket at least as far as Groß Rohrheim but please double check at the ticket office. There is normally a group saver ticket on regional train tickets for €30ish for up to 5 of you to travel, but I can't seem to find that on the website.

Alternatively you can get the bus (www.flixbus.co.uk) which might be cheaper.

No word on tickets yet, but Hoffenheim are charging their supporters €65 for the equivalent section of the ground. A bit pricey by German standards.
