You'll find the restricted view is because of the net they put up, seems pretty standard at a lot of European games these days
Yeah - does seem aggressive when you have to be on the cup scheme and fly to another country. Fejenoord went to all seasoncards without the cup scheme last year.
Time will tell, I suppose.

Its only 30k when the standing sections are open - its 25,641 for UEFA games as they have to convert the standing sections to seated areas. They're actually giving us more than they have to (5%) - this is because the away section is defined by barriers.
I've been in the away section before and its only restricted view because of a metal fence at the front and perspex panels at the sides keeping us apart from the home fans. The pillars between the perspex panels were a bit annoying. Anyone that went to Mönchengladbach can expect basically the same thing. I don't remember there being netting but I wouldnt rule it out.
Also, even when I went for a Bundesliga game they were only selling alcohol free beer in the away end, so UEFA's rule change to allow alcohol to be sold in the ground is of no benefit here (unless they've changed since 2016).
We're in this corner.

Great, thanks for the heads up mate ...Its only 30k when the standing sections are open - its 25,641 for UEFA games as they have to convert the standing sections to seated areas. They're actually giving us more than they have to (5%) - this is because the away section is defined by barriers.

This isn't your traditional German club.
At other clubs the supporters have enough power to keep the prices reasonable or would be willing to protest if they weren't - this is one of the exceptions.
They are not well liked by supporters of traditional German sides, but that's a debate for another time.
In Germany fans don't put up with high prices it is £8-20 a match, must be some mistake.
Although kids best part of £50 when we play there, such a good model that they have in Germany.
Bayern was £35 for kids about 7 years ago, they are all at it.

The Bundesliga cards for guests (same area) in Hoffenheim is 12 EUR seating, 26 EUR standing. Same prize as for own fans in the same kind of seating category.
Guestcards when a top guest team (in Germany just Bayern comes) is 50 EUR for a seat, 18 for standing
BVB, Schalke, Gladbach, Stuttgart costs 35 EUR for a seat, 17 for standing...
I thought you wanted to get into a category like Bayern...
(it is the problem that Bayern's away fans have everywhere...)
Same for Dortmund and Monchen also had kids tickets at £30 or more, not on about adults this is anyone 0-17.
I know the German clubs are not alone in ripping off children, but Hamburg were charged £1 when they played us in 2009 :)
