Leipzig Away

Some dutch UB fan who wrote a self congratulatory book about how amazing they and their fans are, article was on the BBC football page yesterday

Just another St Pauli in my eyes with a bigger budget.

Glad most of their fans were stuck outside the ground last night at Madrid and missed it now
 
Think I will be doing same as I did last campaign flight mcr to cologne, one night in cologne train to Leipzig one night in Leipzig then train back to cologne for flight back day after the game
How much is the train from Cologne to Leipzig mate, looking at trainline it is showing £250 for 2 people return. That seem right?
 
Trainline charge more than the service provider, go to the rail network in Germany for 'real' prices.
It’s going to be round about that,depending what time you travel,that’s why I’m going via Prague,flights were around same price,but train fare a lot cheaper
 
Obviously depends on times as I've seen it lots cheaper than that. Remember an overnight save you getting digs for the night.
That is the cheapest ones I can get mate. Id have to stay in Koln the first night, Leipzig the second and then fly home Thurs. Its looking quite expensive to be honest sadly.
 
Can only see 161 tickets left now. Looks like a lot of non-cup-scheme and members are going.
And good luck to them and hope they have a great time.
 
for the under 26 rail tickets, has anyone had any experience where you need to show ID to prove age etc or is it fairly relaxed ?
I was 32 when I moved to Germany (and looked my age) so I would never have considered trying it on, so I can't answer that from experience. But when I book tickets with my Bahn Card (just a kind of 25%-off discount card that anyone can buy if they want) I would say they check it about half the time although you're supposed to show it with your ticket. If you look plausibly under 26 you might want to chance it, but it's hard to say how reliable that is as a strategy. And stereotypes about Germans and rules are 100% accurate. If they catch you, they will make you pay.
