Anyone here been to either of them? Me and a mate are looking to do one next season but can't decide. Bayern is probably edging it although would like to see the kop at Dortmund. What about clubs/bars in the area?Somewhere we can have a piss up?
As I said in that thread last week, fly to Dusseldorf and within an hour you have Dortmund, Schalke, Monchengladbach, Leverkusen, Bochum, Koln, Kaiserslauten, Duisberg and of course Fortuna Dusseldorf. Plan it around a Dortmund game, then you will be able to get to at least one more match. Dusseldorf, as most German cities, is good for beering. Dortmund I just drank around the ground so can't speak for the centre.
I haven't been to Munich but Augsburg is fairly close for another game. It is potentially the best place in Germany for pubs.
My brother's been to the Allianz - I think he found it a bit too commercialised and similar in many ways to visiting Old Trafford. The atmosphere at German grounds in general is way better than over here, but he said that the atmosphere at Bayern was pretty average. I'd go to Dortmund.
i'm currently living just outside munich, and from my experience it is nigh on impossible to get a ticket for bayern league matches as they have so many season tickets. you might be able to get tickets for the cup games, and i do believe for any of their matches you need to be a member to buy them. I have been told by a friend that you can sometimes get them on the day from touts at a fairly reasonable price. Munich is a great place to get a beer though!
Went to Munich a couple of seasons ago for Bayern v Hamburg. Got the match ticket off ticketmaster, no problems.
Excellent experience couldn't reccomend it enough. Hoffbrauhaus is still the best place I have had beers. Hamburg and Munich fans chanting at each other the night before, then we pop up with our Charlton songs in a corner, they came wading over to come and have a chat. Top football fans.
