Hi, Many of us have ticket to both qtr finals in Ukraine. Till well see the train times etc, maybe it's possible by us to rent minibus from Donetsk to Kiev on 2-3 am? I guess it'll be in reasonable price. Possible? Alternatives? Thanks.
Very possible! Here is an example of prices: http://autocomfort.in.ua/prices Мест = seats Стоимость 1 км= price for 1 km. It's about 700-800 km Donetsk - Kyiv. So you can do the math. Perhaps more expansive due to EUROs. I suggest you build a pool of people who are interested... Then you wait for the high-speed train.... If you don't get any tickets, we can arrange this thing... You will definitely know if you get highspeed train tickets in June.... and in 1st June it will be about 3 weeks to the 24th June, so it's plenty of time....
So its means if I'll have a group of 16. It'll cost 800*4.5=3600 UAH, which means 225 UAH for each person (27$)? Thanks.
Hi ! I am in the same situation, currently trying to find transportation from Donetsk to Kiev between the 2 quarter finals. Please feel free to contact me if you're setting up a minibus or something. Kind regards, Charlie
Lets try to arrange 15-20 people for it. I guess it'll be the only choice for us. Me and my friend are 2. Lets see if we can get 20 people in this thread. Thanks.
I thought the high-speed train wasn't going to be ready in time for the tournament? When is it supposed to start its service?
interesting... But how did you people thought of organizing all this? This can not be done last minute.... So we have to organize it in advance.... Two problems: 1) We have to pay at least something in advance, which no one is willing to do from their own pocket. 2) No one is willing to send money over the net to unknown people. Pehaps we can meet in Kiev in advance? Go to an office here in Kiev together and pay all the money... But when will all you be in Kiev? So how would this be arranged? Because otherwise, I can start calling bus companies and negotiating.... Btw. from my side 6 ppl.
I've contacted a firm now and got an offer. 10 000 UAH for exactly 20 persons. 5000 UAH for 8 persons. It's quite expensive, yes. But on the other hand, it's in the middle of the night (departure 02:30) and during the EUROs. But I believe we can find even cheaper.
Good job friend. I guess everyone will be able to transfer you lets say 10-20% in advance using PayPal and the rest on the same day of departure. Lets see how many people are interested first. Thanks a lot.
IMPORTANTE !!! IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO BUY TICKETS FOR HIGH-SPEED TRAINS FOR DONETSK - KYIV!!! Train number: 152д. Donetsk - Kyiv (05:55 - 12:45)! So you can make it to both quarter-finals! Price in cat. 2 is about 420 UAH. (quite expensive for Ukraine). How to buy? 1) Brand new online-ticket-store at official Ukrainian Railways website: http://booking.uz.gov.ua/en/ (notice that there is a small bug there giving you time according to the GMT in you computer. The real local Ukrainian time is 05:55 - 12:45) 2) www.e-kvytok.org.ua If not working at the moment, try http://www.e-kvytok.ua (although only in Ukrainian). Here is a guide how you can buy them in Ukrainian: http://blog.activeukraine.com/the-how-to-train-series-buying-your-ticket-online/ 3) Otherwise you can try some private commercial ticketresalers. For example: http://gd.tickets.ua/en OR http://dprc.gov.ua/index.php?set_language=1 Donetsk = Doneck = ДОНЕЦЬК Kyiv = Kiev PASS = КИЇВ ПАС BEST OF LUCK !!!! /Pylyp
Strange - now after I purchased a hour ago the tickets, I don't see it available anymore in http://booking.uz.gov.ua/en/
I think they are readjusting the schedule and finalizing some details. I don't expect any major changes. No more than +/- 15 minutes. Perhaps they will lower the price, which should be fair!!! The tickets that are bought are going to be valid. No worries
When you do booking on http://booking.uz.gov.ua/en/, pay attention to times, on 1st page ,where they show times - those times are wrong ( actually look like they using your browser time), when you buy tickets - it will show correct time
