Can anybody tell me what is on the back of the gelsenirchen ticket.I think it means free travel in the ruhr on the day of the grand prix or is there something more in it that that

On the day you can travel on all the normal trains.

You can't use the fast ones. ICE.

Don't pass it on but the ticket checks on the trains can be few and far between.

Just found this webcam on the Veltins Arena site so you can watch the track going in:

Just click the 'webcam' button on the left hand side.

Lorry trailers with the fence and air fence parked in the middle, amazing how the pitch rolls under one of the grandstands.

I hear there will be a lot of Crump and Adams fans there that night as they have no interest anymore in a certain Rugby semi final now

 

Does the world service cover sports commentary??

15,000

 

I'm a little rusty with my German, but according to this,

that is all that has been sold so far.

 

Embarrassingly, it's going to appear a lot less in such a large stadium.

 

Clearly the prospect of seeing 'Right Said Fred' has deterred tens of thousands from going.

I was told by a German footie fan if they tagged the event 'presented by Schalke FC', it would see a sell-out.
