Estonia is cheap and just a 90 minute ferry away from Helsinki where I lived for nearly 3 years.tmex12 wrote:Am going!
One can set up a base in Poland, Estonia or Latvia for these matches and just fly in match day.
How can one get tickets?

Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
Oga did u mean flight times? Because I just looked at distances and it’s 20 hours from Volgograd to St Petersburg not 2.5abacha wrote:I am going.Ugbowo wrote:Looks Like
Croatia on the 16th (Saturday) in Kaliningrad
Iceland on the 22nd (Friday) in Volgograd
and Argentina on the 26th (Tuesday) In St Petersburg!
A Friday to Wednesday trip sounds doable! St Petersburg is very appealing.
Who dey go? Who get Map of Russia?
Kalingrad is 4 hrs 40 from Uk
Volgograd is 9hr 45 min
St Petersb 6 hrs 10
Volgograd to St Peter is 2 hrs 35
Friday to Wed seems doable, but I hope to see all matches.
Anyone else going?
Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA

Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
You should be able to get to Russia and back for $500 or less...Game 1 is appealing to me. I might just fly into Frankfurt or Poland and drive the rest of the way.

Na true say transport between match venues na free?
Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
How are you guys planning to get tickets? I hear the only way is through this FIFA lottery thing, and that makes it less likely we can get them.
Any thoughts? I hear buying from the black market na serious risk...as they wouldnt let you enter. Anyone heard different??

Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
I got mine from the initial lottery. Another round might have opened on a first come, first serve basis. Apply on fifa.com as a Nigerian fan. We often underutilize our allocation so you might still stand a better chance than fans of countries like Germany and England.deanotito wrote:How are you guys planning to get tickets?

Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
Stalingrad (or Volgograd) is the big problem. I will fly to Gdansk and rent a car to Kalingrad for the first game and head back to London. St Petersburg for the 3rd game is easy as it is a 3.5 hour train from Helsinki which is a second home. Volgograd flight ticket prices are way too expensive.megapro wrote:I'm in!

Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
Na wa I love you guys and your passion...Russia itself can be its own continent...that is why hosting it in a vast country is a problem. Qatar I can go...just get Dubai as your base and fly to the games...or even Doha itself.
Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
For our own games it is just the 2nd game that presents a logistical problem. I have booked my ticket to Helsinki between 21st and 27th June 2018. I will take the train to St Petersburg for the Argentina game. I'm still working out the details of the trip to Volgograd. For the first game I will book my trips to Gdansk Poland as direct flights to Kaliningrad are very expensive. If anyone is considering Helsinki or Gdansk please let me know.Benedict Iroha wrote:Na wa I love you guys and your passion...Russia itself can be its own continent...that is why hosting it in a vast country is a problem.

That Gdańsk option looks appealing.

Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA

Other games will be tough. Will base here till Argentina. Brazil plays here on 22nd as well. Might be interesting.
Next thing na to cue for ticket on Tuesday.

Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
For the first game I think it is great. I have never been there except for an unscheduled stop over but I'm sure it will be fine.soma wrote:That Gdańsk option looks appealing.

Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
Sounds like a good plan. How long is the drive from Gdansk? Hope those routes are safe now, and hopefully extra security measures are in place for the WC. Those routes used to be plagued by Polish and Russian gangs extorting from those who went to buy tokunbo from Germanyaruako1 wrote:Stalingrad (or Volgograd) is the big problem.

thats a 12 hr drive from Frankfurt, my friend. Better to fly to Poland (Warsaw), and drive 4 hrs. Or 8hrs from Berlin.

Re: ATTENDING SE WC GAMES IN RUSSIA
It is 168km from Gdansk. I haven't booked yet but if there are security concerns I'll not do it.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:Sounds like a good plan. How long is the drive from Gdansk?
