without tickets without someone to travel with anyone in the same boat and want to perhaps team up with phase 3 lottery for usa and a couple others?
i'm also travelling solo and with no ticket yet! i'm not american but im a big USMNT fan since WC 1990 when i saw them playing for the first time,in italy
Toon Soldier 86, Hi, when will you be over there? My friends and I are planning on staying in Frankfurt for about a week in late June. We're still thinking about lodging: hostel, hotel, etc.. Trying to figure which is the most logical for us as we'll be traveling back and forth (Munich, Paris, Amsterdam) from Frankfurt.
Haha i'm planing to do the excact same thing actually, traveling there with no tickets and most likey alone, (I think I can give up hope of recieving a ticket from the lottery) never been to the world cup before so should be a good experience even if I don't get to see a game! I'm from London though... and hoping to watch England of course
Im a soccer writer from canada and 23. I am going alone is its the only true way to make new friends at an event like this. The euro was brilliant and I would love to meet up with any fans of the game regardless of your team and have a few pints. as for lodging they have a few hostels and campsites ready for the world cup at 15 euros a night whch isnt bad at all. but if you are looking for the big hotels then your in trouble for sure with their prices going through the roof
Hi friends. I´m going in a solo trip from Brazil. I´ll be staying there from 10/6 to 12/7 and got a TST7 Brazil ticket. Between the matches I plan to travel around Europe and I´d be proud to have a beer with you guys. Feel free to contact me.
I will be solo for about 2 weeks from June 22nd to the final. I was also at the EURO 2004 (every Portugal game) and it was amazing. I painted my face and acted like a goof and ended up in every major newspaper in Portugal (Bola, Record, Jogo....). Hoping for some of the same to happen in Germany....
I'm there for 3 weeks with a campervan for most of that time. 7 games at the moment...family in Munchen. should be fun. I'll keep an eye out for all you fellow soloists!
im 20 and i live in san diego usa. I'll probably end up in Germany alone without tickets and wouldnt mind cruisin around with other people lookin for games and what not.
I'm headed into Frankfurt on the 2nd day of the opening round and leave the 2nd day of the 2nd rounders. I'll be coming from Chicago and will spend most of my time around Frankfurt or Munich. I have been forced to become a Tunisian fan as their TST-4 is all I have right now. I am looking to pickup the US tickets while there, or is there another chance through US soccer to get some?
I swear to you that i was doing the exact same thing. I was on FSW, Bola and Joga too! even GOl TV played a quick thing about me that my friend taped! This year I have the luxury of putting together the World Cup fans story together for Inside SOCCER magazine ere in Canada. If you are a crazy fan i want to hook up with you for a day and go nuts. Thats what this tourney is all about enjoying the times and of course ' a time to make friends' Also I have a few spots reserved but not paid for yet and if anyone is looking to partner up for a loft, hostel whatever let me know. I could use the hotel thing courtesy of the magazine but I refuse to be with the suits that always seem to stay there. the low cost hosuing is the best fans spots period. Plus I will have free access to many museums and centres/tours because of my media work.
I'm going solo for the Mex Angola and Mex Portugal games. I always travel with my 2 buddies but they could not make it. I really was looking forward to going so I rather go alone than not go at all. Im sure I'll meet people over there and have a blast.
I'll be in Hamburg(traveling solo) fron June 17th to 25th (in Kaisereslautern on June 23rd). Anybody going to the Saudi Arabia - Ukraine game in Hamburg? and/or Saudi Arabia vs Spain in Kaiserslautern on June 23rd?
I will be travelling solo from June 30 to July 9 and will attend all the matches from Q final all the way (Q final will be in Hamburg and Gelsenkirchen). I am up to meet everyone. I am from San Diego. From this thread, Forca Portugal and derose are in line with my schedule, maybe toronto sports? Anyway, PM me...
traveling han solo from D.C. the 25 thru the 11th (or so). Other than a flight into Frankfurt, absolutely nothing planned. anyone have any thoughts on the best spots to watch games w/ out a ticket?
