Vienna

[frank]

Tickets booked.

We're all going on a European tour, a European tour, a European tour... 

Well done, Guy. Did you ask them how many we've sold?

[Guy M]

I did. They said "quite a few". Very non-committal!

Got straight through at 09:01 and on the two occasions I've had to call back since so I'm guessing the phones are hardly red-hot. Did say that they hand't received the tickets yet tho which is a tad worrying.

This was probably discussed this time last year - I can't remember.
If you want to cover all your travel in Vienna beforehand, you can get a 24-hour or 48-hour travelcard online. There's a supplement for the transfer from the airport and back, which you can include on your travelcard. I've paid €13.60 for 48 hours unlimited travel, including the airport transfer. Here's the site: Link

I should perhaps add that, if you've added the cost of the airport transfer to your travelcard, it'll tell you on the ticket whether you've paid for the fast rail link (CAT) or the normal service (ÖBB, route S7), which in fact isn't much slower and is a lot cheaper. Don't get on the CAT unless it says this on your ticket!

[Guy M]

Thanks for that frank. Waiting to hear from our compadres whether they want to do a day trip to Bratislava or not and then will probably end up getting the weekly pass, seeing as we arrive early tomorrow and don't fly back until Saturday evening. Only 40cents more than the 72-hour pass and means we don't have the grief of getting single tickets or another expensive 24-hour ticket on Saturday.

Has everybody's ticket arrived? I'm still waiting on mine.

I think Villa got them on Friday. I picked mine up at the W Ham game, but yours should have been posted on Saturday.

I'm on the 17:20 tomorrow, so I might have to give them a ring!

[Guy M]

Mine were waiting for me yesterday when I got back from a long weekend with the family in Brighton. And our postie is usually rubbish.

Ours haven't arrived. We've just phoned them and we have to collect them from the ground 90 minutes (well not before 90 minutes) before the game.

Bloody nuisance.

Villa haven't handled this very well. They could have posted your tickets on Saturday and you'd have got them today at the latest. How annoying!

[villajk]

Frank, they said they posted them on FRIDAY.

I'm not sure whether to risk a later train tomorrow, after the postman has been, or whether to just leave it until Thursday.  Very annoying.

[Fasth56]

Is there a place in the centre to meet before or after the game?  My hotel is just outside the old centre.

[villajk]

Fash56, Frank is your man. I just follow Jon who has arranged with Frank where we will meet.  I remember last season sitting in a sort of square with a couple of restaurants.  No, it's no good I'm useless.

Are you on your own?
