Schalke Travel Plans

[Maldeika]

Is travel on train free just on match day?

The train tickets of the regional trains of the VRR (Verkehrsverbund Rhein Ruhr) for the match day until the last train in the night are included.

The VRR includes this cities or areas: Bochum, Bottrop, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Gelsenkirchen, Essen, Hagen, Herne, Krefeld, Mönchengladbach, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Oberhausen, Remscheid, Solingen, Wuppertal, Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis, Kreis Mettmann, Rhein-Kreis Neuss, Kreis Recklinghausen, Kreis Viersen

Generally only the regional trains and busses are included - no ICEs, ICs

If you are not sure if your situation is included: Ask

Is that via Bremen on the train?

No direct
Bit of a pain, but flying to Hamburg on Tuesday and returning Thursday can be done for less than £60 and the train is direct, 3 hours and that return journey can be done for 50 Euro

Or why not fly Luton - Dortmund for £77 return

Anyone know how many tickets we will get? And do they print your name on the ticket as I'm thinking of using my dad's who's got more loyalty points than me???

I wouldn't stay in Cologne again too far away it took ages to get there in traffic about 3 hours. Stay closer if you can blues.

4 of us flying from Birmingham to Dusseldorf, out Tuesday back Thursday, £90 each.
Dusseldorf is allways a good night out.

Luton to Dortmund on EasyJet for 4 of us - £72 each with seats booked, out 19th back 21st. Just trying to decide if we should stay in Dortmund or in Gelsenkirchen.

I've booked the same route spending the Tuesday night in Hamburg and then Gelsenkirchen after match.
Did the same thing for Dortmund and the Wolfsburg friendly.
Whole trip and hotels for less than £200, and more importantly, no daft o'clock flights.

Gelsenkirchen is like Rotherham, so I'd suggest have Tuesday night in Dortmund and Wednesday night in Gelsenkirchen
Dortmund hate Schalke, so no doubt you'll have a great night out in Dortmund as well
