Alenderplatz is like a big square with a shopping centre and bars and restaurants on the periphery. There’s decent clubs and bars out towards friedrichshain where’ll you’ll find the watergate club and similar , you’ll like them Everything is a tram ride away pal, but have a plan in place 👍🏻 Tiergarden has nudist areas in the day .How the fuck did you lot miss that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothy Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Not strictly holiday but I'm going to Sao Paolo on Sunday for work. I can probably get back into the city at the weekend. Any ideas how easy / hard it is to get a ticket to the footy? I'm thinking Sao Paolo vs Santos on Saturday 10th, 9pm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol_BWFC Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Casino said: I think jol may have done a Brazil game Indeed, although it was over 10 years ago now. I ended up getting the tickets through the hotel, at inflated prices - as they sorted the taxi from the hotel too. That was at the Maracana in Rio. I searched online too, but back in the day online sales weren’t as prevalent. The closest I got was emailing a local football blogger who offered to help sort tickets, but in the end he wasn’t around for that game. I’d suggest looking at ticket re-sale websites if you want to sort before you go. A quick glance suggests you should be able to get them at stubhub / viagogo. Unless I’m misreading it, you can get a VIP ticket (food and drink) for less than £60 if you want to do it in style. Otherwise, see what else you can see online or speak to the hotel when you’re over there any they may be able to tell you how to get some cheaper standard tickets. Someone else may have some more recent experience. Edited July 31, 2019 by Jol_BWFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent hotel they will sort it for you. Pretty helpful the Brazilians. The metro isn’t as bad as they say either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
