Conference league final tickets

[kennybrowns leftfoot]

Thankfully I booked a 'reserve now pay later' Hotel right in Leipzig City Centre back in August so accommodation is sorted and at a very reasonable price

I booked flights yesterday as they were going up and up and will only continue to rise.

Flying from Heathrow at 06.55 to Munich on the Tuesday then 3 hour train to Leipzig.

Coming home on Thursday. Got to get a 4 hour train to Cologne from Leipzig then a 18.55 flight to Gatwick.
Flights and train fares came to £380 which i didn't think was too shabby.

I need to be in a meeting in Kent at 9:30am
Thursday morning. So have got a 6:55am flight from Berlin to London city airport. Jeopardy is last train from Leipzig to Berlin is 23:36 which is fine if it doesn’t go to extra time. If it does…

What a dilemma if it goes to extra time!!

Oh well.... I'm sure the meeting can be rescheduled! 😂

Either way I’m staying for whole game and working out getting to Berlin issue at the end! Thinking of renting a car in Leipzig with drop off point being Berlin airport. Might be the solution. Lack of sleep will be interesting

Im looking at the same train and plane, as its the cheaper option, the station is a 10 min walk away so very close by but a bit of a risk with extra time and penalties possble

Can’t you call in sick?

Do we think there is any chance that holding your nerve with the travel might provide more options once we are confirmed as finalists? As in they might potentially add more flights to accomodate demand?

It seems like at the moment the options are either pay a fortune to get anywhere close to Leipzig, get a flight somewhere else in Europe and then have hours on a train, or spend 20+ hours on a coach hungover. Don't massively fancy any of them.

Looks like you need to do more research sir. There are no flights direct from England to Leipzig, other than privately chartered ones and thus, every single other alternative (if flying from England) involves significant onward transport of at least two hours.
I fear you may find that you'll have to cough up a lot of dosh if you now (or later) choose to go looking.

It's more like 30 mins I think as is about 3km. As you say the risk is extra time and penalties but also even if you want to stay to watch the team lift the trophy (assuming we win which after yesterday is not a guarantee)

Finally booked accommodation today.

1 night in Wroclaw £50 (split between two of us)

2 nights in Leipzig (20 mins drive south) £290 (again split between two)

1 night back in Wroclaw £65 (between 2)

All sorted. Just need to buy the train tickets from Wroclaw>Leipzig return which are cheaper on the Polish train site than the German.

So my cousin in Scotland sent me this earlier.. Rangers have been using this company for European travel for years.

This deal is pre second leg price only, however you get a full refund if you don't qualify.

Return flights from Gatwick to Leipzig from the Tuesday to the Thursday with bloody good flight times as well. £610 all in, which considering you can't fly to Leipzig direct normally from the UK and the price of the flights to other German Cities are already at silly prices is not a bad price at all.

Just want to clarify, the deal is pre second leg only? What happens if Palace do qualify? Will the deal change?

I was looking at doing something similar to this, car rental is about £50 for 2 days as well so worth thinking about as well.

If you book it before Thursday then that's the price you pay.
If you dont book it before Thursday and Palace qualify then the price will go up.

We are flying to Frankfurt. Then train is only £9.50 each (booked) for a return trip from there to Halle. Subtle difference is we are going regardless if Palace don't get there as we have tickets for the game.

Looking at the trains from Berlin on Tuesday and back the Thursday. Looks like there is plenty of trains. There's a flexible price where you can add on travel around berlin and Leipzig.

Looks like an extra 50 euro on top of the train ticket. It could be worth it.

Think there's also a bus that leaves around 2am from Leipzig to Berlin

I was looking into that. There is a flix bus from Leipzig station straigt to berlin airport. There's one at 02:20 and gets you there for 5.10

I would book it as there seems to be only early morning flights left available back on the Thursday and others will have the same idea.

I have booked the direct flight to Leipzig for £610 so my flight to Berlin which I bought for £284 return is now technically available. If anyone is interested.

Does anyone have a idea of how many points would be needed to get a ticket for the final. I missed the uefa lottery so cant a ticket through that. I have a gold membership and 3900 points, and went to the game in lublin this season.
