book your internal travel and hotels in advance. On the day travel prices are really hit and miss in Germany. For a 6 euro ticket you could get stung 20 euros on the trains. Not a place to jib the train either.
Hotels are cheaper in Duisburg and if like me you are only going over for a long weekend then Saturday in Dusseldolf before train in the evening to Duisburg, Duisburg town sat night and sunday the match. Leaving only Monday morning for left over drinks on the Rhine before the airport.

Plus stay away from the boys choir at the cathedral or you may meet your end at the fangs of a vampire.

He will take you in his German mouth, alles klar.

Watch out if you're driving on the German roads. i got caught in Garmish allegedly doing 75 kilometres an hour where the speed limit was 50! 108 euros later & 1 point on my license :-\

Don't mention the war. I did once, but I think I got away with it.

Tickets are sold out already. Anyone know if we're gonna get extra tickets?

We were only allocated 300, the ground holds 31,000 be lucky if there is 10,000 therefore getting in will not be a problem.
the tickets look great.

What part of the ground are we in? Still plenty available on the Duisburg site it seems.

I travelled from Düsseldorf to Dortmund via Duisburg in March for the England game. Can't remember the exact fare but it wasn't much, and it was very easy to purchase tickets from the station ticket office on the day.

Would you have a link to an English language German train ticket website?

On the day of the match your match ticket covers public transport to and from the ground within the VRR area, which includes Düsseldorf and Duisburg. I've just phoned MSV, who've confirmed this. It's in the small print on the back of the ticket in the bottom right corner. Using the local train (S-Bahn), you can travel direct from Düsseldorf main station to Duisburg Schlenk (for the stadium) in under half an hour.
If you don't yet have a match ticket, the single fare's €5.80. There should be plenty of ticket machines at the station

Excellent advice from Frank above re travel. But if you fancy a beer before or after the game you'll need to go into town, i.e. to the main station (Hauptbahnhof). From there it's a 10 minute walk to the boozer that serves the best König Pilsener (the local beer) in the centre of the city. Plenty of MSV fans drink there and it's a good place.
City-Köpi is just to the left of the big fountain. On Düsseldorferstrasse at the corner of Königstrasse. From there you can get the underground straight outside the boozer. Take the U79 to Grünewald (direction of Düsseldorf). From there it's a 10-15 minute walk to the ground, but you should be able to follow the crowds (!!) at that point. If you wish, the U79 (tram/underground) will take you all the way to or from Düsseldorf, though it does take considerably longer than the train.
For those of you spending longer in the city, the Innenhafen (inner harbour) area is worth a look and has plenty of (chain type) bars and restaurants. Bit further away from the very centre of town but a nice walk. Aim for Philosophenweg and you'll be there. Bolero a good option for a drink but the food can be a bit hit and miss.
PM me if you have any other questions. I won't be there, I'm waiting for when we play MSV in the Champions League.
