I'm doing Hanover-Twente (Europa League) on the Thursday and Dusseldord-Hamburg on the Friday. Looking for a Saturday game and I've never been to Mainz. Might do something in which the English are definitely the World Champions. Go without a ticket and still get in.
Good luck for the rest of the season, apart from the obvious one

Dortmund fans pay around 9 euros to stand on the Südtribüne. That's the only reason they turn up, just like at Bayern, you can stand for a 10er. Believe me, German grounds would not fill if they thought they were bein ripped off. It's real value for money. Proper dirt cheap and you can get a pint throughout the game, you can use your match ticket to get free public transport and so on, and so on.MSP said:I'm not sure where those "cheap tickets" come from, I've read here that they pay as low as 15 eur per match. I have some friend in Stuttgart and he told me that he pays 45 eur for ticket. That's not cheap at all.
But whatever it costs their "our way is best way" goes on my tits..
Going back a few pages, this is absolutely spot on and I wish it wasn't. Unfortunately the hooligan culture of the 70s/80s made it happen, and with ticket prices going the way they are we're not going to get that atmosphere back any time soon.matty barton said:I've been reading this thread with interest. It could be on a forum dedicated to any other major club in England and the content would be absolutely identical.
The irony is that in the 70s and 80s the atmosphere at English grounds was the envy of all Europe. Europeans would even use expressions like ''English atmosphere'' to describe a passionately supported match.
The difference between German and English football is simple. Bundesliga football is designed to appeal to Germans. The Premier League is designed to appeal to Asians, Americans and other football 'consumers'. Foreign owners don't help. It doesn't matter whether they are of the parasitic variety like the ones at Arsenal and United, or if they are the benevolent type like Abramovich and the Sheikh.
They want a global entertainment product. Thats what we've ended up with, and the atmosphere at our stadia is more similar to theme parks than traditional football grounds.
Whether thats good or bad depends on personal preferences. I loved the terraces, but numbers would suggest the majority prefer how it is now.

If I were you I'd pick another of the Saturday games mate, with Mainz being such a small ground there won't be many tickets floating about.
Schalke - Frankfurt and Bayern - Hannover are also sold out but there are far more likely to be a few tickets for sale outside.

You can't beat an argument between a Dortmund fan and bayern fan on a man city forum!!

I completely agree with this. Makes me sad to watch videos from the early 90s with fantastic support that gives me goosebumps and realising that it had been destroyed by a few idiots.Halfpenny said:Going back a few pages, this is absolutely spot on and I wish it wasn't.

Well, the christmas market will be on anyway. So that's a good starting point, ;). The drawback is that the town centre will be packed with people as well as small shops, so unfortunately pretty bad to actually gather and get an overview of the "mob". The police would need to agree, too. And I am afraid they are not as outstandingly great as the British.Originals said:We should do what they had to do and march the streets to get to the ground.
Utd away meet up somewhere in town every blue thats going or most of them anyway and march up to the ground.
