Not got tickets but a couple of us are still over there, flying in to Dortmund on Tuesday. Where's everyone gonna be heading for drinks on the Weds? can't decide on staying on Dortmund, Dusseldorf or Bochum?
Made my mind up to stay in Essen.
Looks an easier option for a few pints after the game than Dusseldorf.
Game is going to finish about 11 local time, how long back to Essen.

There’s nothing in Dortmund. Nice clean functional City. But not much else going on. Stayed there for our games years ago. Only place open was a pub called Yorkshire Pub. It was awful.
Düsseldorf however was great.

I'm pretty sure it applies until 3am. There will be fuck all open in Gelsenkirchen though so its not worth waiting around.For anyone travelling back to Dusseldorf after the game, I've been told that the free local travel deal with the match ticket should still apply to the 00:09 train from Gelsenkirchen to Dusseldorf.
Can be done in 10 mins by the looks of it.Game is going to finish about 11 local time, how long back to Essen.

Its a 20 minute tram ride from the ground to Gelsenkirchen hbf alone. With the queues for the tram, you will do very well to be back at Gelsenkirchen hbf for 11.30. Then its another 15 mins from there if there is a train waiting for you.Can be done in 10 mins by the looks of it.
For Essen hbf, I wouldn't expect to be back there before 12. Düsseldorf altstadt I reckon probably more like 1am.
