I realize that it seems a bit early for this thread, but a friend and I have decided to skip over to Austria for one of the Euro Cup matches since it will probably never come this close to Hungary again in our lifetimes. Since we're Americans we're really not picky about which match we see. I started this thread for any tips anybody has about attending the matches since we're starting with no experience at all.
Here are the venues for Austria (Switzerland is a bit far and so expensive) for the group stages (which we figure is our best chance to get tickets):
- Vienna June 8, 12, 15
- Innsbruck June 10, 14, 18
- Salzburg June 10, 14, 18
I'm interested in what people think about what the best chance to get tickets will be, or is it impossible to say before the pairings are announced? I'm guessing that Inssbruck and Salzburg might be a bit easier given the population of Vienna, but maybe the venues are larger as well. I've been to Salzburg and i'm a little surprised they're going to host a major match there since the town is not very large. I've never been to Innsbruck. I've been to Vienna many times, but have no idea where the pitch is.
We're planning on bringing a tent, and we might go to matches even if we don't have tickets. Opinions on that are welcome also.
