Thanks alot for your input, I'll probably book the train ticket to Itzehoe as soon as i get into Germany (July 9th) and then I'll cab to Wacken.

Thanks again! \m/

Really? but i thought someone said to buy it early before it sells out?

by the way, we will also have a eurail pass, should we just use that?

Give us that info before, man


If you got eurail passes... why bother buying anymore tix ? as far as i know with the eurorail thingy you got your ticket anyway...

well with the german train system its like this... the earlier you book the cheaper the ticket gets... with those special 30€ weekend tickets, you cant get them cheaper as they cheap as hell ... though you can only use the slow trains (doenst matter too much, you can spend more time drinking) and the weekendtickets are only available as long as stock lasts... all the other tickets you could get on the day u r travelling...

from where r u planning to go ?

If a eurail is the same as interrail is over here, you don't have to buy any ticket, but just jump on teh train to Itzehoe. Only thing, you must pay the supplement for the IC and ICE trains in Germany.

hah sorry, yea we're going to order the eurail pass this week, probably for 10 travelling days in 1 month. we'll probably come from hamburg or berlin, we arrive in frankfurt on the 9th of july, we'll go slowly south while hitting every brewery we can on the way, then earthshaker festival, then we slowly work our way north, and then wacken is the last thing we do before we leave! but we'll probably train to itzehoe from hamburg, and its not to far so i think it should be quite simple!

thanks!
