Booked tickets in the "neutral" section a month ago.
Flights were expensive, and logistics tricky, so we're driving over. Through the tunnel and overnight on Wednesday at Venlo. Over to Wolfsburg on Thursday. Friday night in Bruges. A proper road trip.
Wolfsburg is twinned with Luton, which is all you need to know! It doesn't have a traditional medieval square like every other German town. However it has one of the highest per capita incomes in Germany, so there must be some refreshment places for the locals to spend all their money.
We're staying in a place called Gifhorn, about 3 miles outside the centre.

Nice mate. Will have to say hello.

What's John Aldridge been saying now then ? I'll have to speak to my mate and get that flag re-made the one we took to Krasnodar 'John Aldridge is a C U N T'

People who have booked trains, what did you select as your identification document?
The only option that looks usable if your from the uk is a credit card and I haven't got one. Reckon a debit card would be ok?

It wont let you continue if its not valid.

I used my debit card, and all seems fine.

We're staying in Berlin on Wednesday night. Hotels are cheaper and a night on the lash in Berlin seems a bit livelier than Wolfsburg. Getting the train to Wolfsburg Thursday lunchtime

That's what I'm using as Id, although passport will be carried too.

15:46 ICE from Berlin on the Thursday, anyone else?

 

[The Reverand]

On sale on Tuesday to STH with 6 credits from 13/14 or STH with a Krasnodar Credit

£15 or £22

Are the cheaper tickets 'standing'?

Sounds good that mate. I'm going to speak to the others now and see if they fancy doing that. We can un-book our hotels until a day before at no extra cost.

I think i may have used my debit card. So i think you'll be okay.

As far as i'm aware, i think it's priced by location. So behind the goal is €20 (£15), and along the side is a bit more expensive at €30 (£22). Failing that. Upper tier, and lower tier may be part of the structure. There aren't any 'Standing' tickets for Europa, so i couldnt comment, but i'd imagine the lower tier would have been the standing bit. As for the Obstructed Views, they will definitely be the tickets behind the cages.

this with seats folded out I think
