hi,can anyone reccomend a decent hotel near the central rail terminal,i wil be arrivin in minsk without a match ticket will there be plenty on offer and how much is the face value, thanks for your help

Well, a decent hotel is usually an expensive hotel.
Try Crowne Plaza. It%26#39;s 50 metres from Dinamo stadium and 400 metres from the railway station.
Dinamo stadium is for 37 000 + 3 000 spectators. I think it%26#39;ll be full as England is a strong and famous Europe team. The ticket price may vary but i think the price for a ticket to the most expensive sector will be no more than 30 euro. But common tickets should be around 10-20 euro.
English fans will have a special sector(when the Scots came it was like this) and the price for them will be special as well. I don%26#39;t know how greedy our football federation management is :) but the ticket should be not less than 30 euro.
There will be plenty of people offering tickets on black market with the price of 40-60 and more euro for the English. So if this price is ok for you, don%26#39;t worry.
If you want to buy tickets to the English sector officially I doubt you can manage this coming on the day right before the match.
Try to contact your football federation, they should reserve a hundred or so tickets for their fans though I suppose the price for it will be far from 30 euro )))
You may also try hotel %26quot;Minsk%26quot;, hotel %26quot;Oktyabrsky%26quot;(October hotel) and Hotel d%26#39;Europe. All of them are in the city centre, 15-20 min walk to the railway station.
|||
I can also suggest Sputnik hotel that is a few bus stops off the city center. And I assume the the city will swarm with your compatriots with jams in our London embassy and so on. So address this trip carefully.

hi,thanks for the local advice guys much appreciated
|||
Guys, be advised: such hotels like Planeta, Europe, U Fontana, Orbita, Belarus and probably a few others have been completely sold out for these days. I was shocked to learn this a day ago. I%26#39;ll keep on researching.

The official price for the ticket will be 23 Euro.

Have just learned:
3 sectors (around 1200 seats) were made available by the Belarusian Football Federation at 25 USD to be paid via bank transfer, which enables only firms to buy them.
The problem is they do not divide these between nations - which makes it possible for the fans of both teams be seated next to each other...
Who else is officially involved into ticket selling activities? Could you send their contact details to my e-mail, please?

I am dying to call them

3 000 seats(2 sectors having separate entrances) have been reserved specially for English fans.
(I think these will be either sectors 12,13 or 13,14)
Moreover Minsk police will have a meeting with England Soccer Federation representatives and England national team security service.
Local police looks forward to receiving the lists of aggressive English fans.
|||
Well, so says tut.by. The security meeting, Spetember 17, potentially dangerous fans, ...
But noone knows if the tickets to these sectors are available and the number of sectors are also questionable. Everybody just %26quot;thinks%26quot;.
And where shall the chaps who will arrive in Minsk without tickets buy them? Being sure they will not land in the sectors with a 1000 or so of BATE fans?
The question is still in the air.
