GETTING TO AND FROM THE GROUND:-Take the S-Bahn lines S2 or S21 from Hamburg main station (Hauptbahnhof) or Reeperbahn or Altona stations.Get off at the station Stellingen (Arena).Go out of the station and there´s Shuttle Buses which take you direct to the ground and back after the game.FREE!
Going to/from thegame,don´t buy a train ticket - the match ticket price includes travel.
Sorry this post has gone ona bit,i´ve tried to make as concise as i could.
If i can help with any ?´s - let me know,apart from getting tickets which i can´t do.

COME ON CITY
 
The S2, as my right honourable Hamburg Blue identifies is a way to the ground. An alternative S-Bahn route is the S1 destination Wedel will take you to station Othemarschen, here also you can get a free transfer to the ground. Be prepared to be frisked on entry to the ground. I was there for a German international match and a Hamburg Vs CSKA Moscow Chumps league game and both occasions I was frisked.

Accomodation location - I would recommend Altona. Here you are in a prime location for one of Hamburgs larger S Bahn and national rail stations that can take you without change to Central Hamburg, Reeperbahn, Airport, AOL Stadium and links to other major German cities.

Altona is teeming with superb sports bars and good value eateries.

If you want an Irish bar, the main one is Finnegans Wake in the centre of Hamburg. This is one of the Centres few bars. It is located very close to the Rathaus (Town hall) Jungfernsteig station is the closest. Here you will be welcomed by Eamonn and his crew with traditional irish beverage, food and hospitality.

For a bit of sight seeing, I recommend a boat trip down the Elb, for just a few euros, one of the ferry boats will take you from Tuffelsbrucke (Devils Bridge) located on the bus route out to Blankenese, and will bring you back into the centre at Landungsbrucken. A great way to see Hamburgs heritage.

Nights out - Infamous Reeperbahn has all you want. Try Molly Malones/The Academy or Draft house which are located on the south side of the reeperbahn. The Doll house has some sights to offer too. Just be very wary of pick pockets, and DO NOT WITHDRAW CASH FROM ANY ATMS on that stretch. You have an 80% chance of being mugged.

Just a few pointers for anyone going, if anyone wants any specific info on Hamburg, just ask

Staying at Hotel Novum near main train station. Will be getting there at about midnight Wednesday. We will want a copule of pints so should we head straight for the Reeperbahn or is there enough going on near the Hotel. After the match on Thursday we will probally go down the Reeperbahn anyway.
 
Is there anywhere to have a drink around the ground before the match or is it pretty much like us and drink in town and travel to game.

There are no pubs near the stadium but there are a couple of chippies and take aways where you can buy a can/bottle or two.

Not the best area tbh (junkies, gays, muslims), but you can try Nagels Bierstuben (<a class="postlink" href="http://www.bodega-nagel.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.bodega-nagel.de</a>) just around the corner of your hotel. Otherwise the S-Bahn just needs 9 mins to the Reeperbahn (taxi maybe 10-12 mins).
