Villa in Germany Pre-Season Friendlies

[Rob Gee]

Based on previous seasons' trip abroad when would we expect to hear about ticket arrangements for our matches abroad and will it be through the club or direct from the ticket office of the teams we are playing??

Hoping to match up a trip to Germany with our games on the 12th and 14th of July....

Staying in a Best Western 1KM from Dortmund Centre. Arrive Saturday, leave tuesday with EasyJet - £200 the lot!!

The ticket office haven't got any news about tickets yet, but I can't imagine it being a problem. We're hardly likely to sell our allocation and even if we do there should be home tickets on sale on the day.

Rödinghausen is very remote though it does have hotels and B&Bs. The station (Bieren-Rödinghausen) is a mile and a half from the ground and the town's a further 2 miles. Unfortunately, the last train leaves a few minutes before the match ends, but it would get you back to the major towns like Dortmund and Bochum.

I'm just going to the Bochum game and have got a cheap flight from Gatwick to Düsseldorf. There's a direct train from the airport station to Bochum (35 minutes)

Have you found any hotels frank or are you not stopping over ?
Also which airline you using ?

[frank]

Easyjet from Gatwick (I live nearby) and staying Saturday and Sunday night at the Claudius in Bochum.  There are also 2 Ibis near Bochum station

I have a friend who is a massive Villa fan living in Germany. He can go to the Bochum game but wants to be surrounded by Villa. What part of the ground should he be looking at

See my post above about tickets. He'll be able to get tickets for the away end from Bochum

Fantastic. Thanks Frank

Are any of you going to the SC Paderborn game on the 12th? My girlfriend's parents live 40 minutes away so we're thinking about getting tickets in the Nord Tribüne E Gäste (away) standing. Do you think many Villa fans will be going to that game?

A smallish party of the German Villans will be there and there will certainly be some travelling fans. You won't be on your own!

That's good to hear Frank! I'm taking my German girlfriend along to see her first ever Villa game so I don't fancy chanting on my own.
