    I've been allocated tickets for the Aus games too.

    Has anyone ever been to the cup with Green and Gold Army? It's not cheap: is it worth it?

    Was looking into tours earlier on.
    The fanatics although as corny as it is, tends to be slightly cheaper.
    There’s also a tour called discovery Russia. Not sure how legit it is operated but also does follow australia tours.

    i'm also very lazy when it comes to planning

    but the best part of $10,000 for flights, 16 days accom and an assortment of day trips seems like a bit much

    If you cant be arsed booking it yourself from being lazy etc

    Go to Flight Centre etc

    They will still take a cut for organising your trip but you will get more bang for your buck than these tour groups offer

    The price of the Fanatics trip ladt time was easily 2-3k more than it was worth and that is allowing the organisers to make a profit

    them (and the Fanatics) seem to cater to a certain 'type' of person.

    You dont seem to fit that bill.

    Follow the Members advice.

    I booked through the Fanatics for Germany in 2006

    basically they just organise transport, accommodation and tickets - it's not like you're part of an organised cheer squad

    it wasn't super well run but for the price and for doing away with all the hassle it was probably worth it for what I wanted out of the trip

    oh for sure the worst part about doing a Fanatics tour are the actual Fanatics.

    Do it yourself bruv. I’ve paid for everything but one or two internal flights and it’s very well below that

    Group I went to Brazil with is doing Russia as well, will be about half the price of the GGA and Fanatics tours. I can't go myself but if anyone wants more info send me a PM.


    Also I work in the travel industry (not an agent) so if any one has any questions about the flights/routing things like that let me know and I can have a look when I'm at work.

    hmm yeah i wonder what the accom is like now in terms of price. did you book through an agent?

    a few of the boys are going GGA and I'd be able to room with them so that's a big drawcard. apparently you can't stay on the tour unless you also buy their domestic flight package.

    I just booked through your classic accomo places like booking.com and shiz. Heaps reasonable prices considering. No idea what they’re like now I got mine as soon as the draw was released. But have a read on their rules and shit about pumping up prices.

    Im heading with a tour out of switzerland for a 4 day trip to the Swiss vs Brazil game.

    Mums going to as she loved the trip that I won to Brazil last time round.

    For us that was the easist to organise.

    But Im sure doing it yourself will always come out easier.. I just wasnt sure with the langauge in Russia (alphabet etc)

    why bother? it will never reach the heights of the master.

    further to that id actually rather the Member do his diary from home in a sleep deprived, shivering state.

    reckon there would be some proper internet rage at 3am in 5 degree heat watching his man crush Wilkinson get embarrassed again and again.

    Like physical tickets? Or confirmation?

    Flights aren’t too bad atm.
    Internal travel looks pretty shit. I’ve got potentially 3 games in 3 days which was bad planning on my behalf but I assumed there would be adequate transport.
    Bit annoying there’s limited direct flights between host cities. And from what I can tell of the transport website, limited free trains between host cities, unless you count to/from Moscow.
    Accomm is still reasonably priced.
