spndnchz Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Did someone say Oktoberfest and hookers? I may be in. Oktoberfest ends the weekend before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Oktoberfest ends the weekend before. Yeah, thats sucks. I thought it started the first weekend in October and lasted like 16 days, guess i was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I got an e mail from AAA but it appears they are still in the process of putting it together. It does say there will be speacial team events. I'm guessing road crew type of thing. http://wcny.aaa.com/travel/sabres-form?utm_campaign=MEM_May_Newsletter_10May11&utm_medium=email&utm_source=MEM And now they have have released the details. https://www.signup4.net/public/ap.aspx?EID=HCTS10E&OID=50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Anyone going? My buddy and I put down our deposit today for the trip to secure us a spot. We havn't ordered airfare yet but i think we will fly early and go to Oktoberfest. So pumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently its better than octoberfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj000218 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I live here in Germany in case you don't know they are playing in mannheim (1hr for me) as well against a German squad (where hecht is from). If any one knows when tickets will be available for any and all games I want to know. I plan on going to all three hopefully, but at least the 2 in germany. We should find a bar and do some pre-game. Go Sabres-Hopefully all of them will make the trip to include the voice of the Sabres. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2011/04/26/sabres-play-special-exhibition-game-germany-2011-compuware-nhl-premiere/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedblueandgold Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Argh.....that sucks. This probably takes any game that would otherwise be here in LA or in Anaheim off the table. I believe one of the games will be counted as a "home" game and the other an "away". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to the game in Berlin too? It is great: You are the first in Germany living Buffalo fan i get to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skibum Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm sure you could do the same thing for half the cost on your own, minus the "team activities" or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'd love to go but it seems overpriced considering it doesn't include airfare and it doesn't include going to Finland. Plus if I was gonna spend all that money to go to Germany, I'd want to go a week earlier for Oktoberfest too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm sure you could do the same thing for half the cost on your own, minus the "team activities" or whatever. Just staying at the nice hotels in the package for 6 nights would cost you $1,200. The cab/bus from/to the airport another couple hundred. Hiring a tour guide (like the one they provide for you) even more money... Seeing the Sabres in Europe... priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'm glad we're doing this. Should bring the team closer. Haven't some teams gone the finals in recent years after starting in Europe or am I wrong there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at past schedule releases, they've come out anywhere between midldle/end of June to middle of July. Any rumblings or notions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want to know how they determine who those 3 teams wind up being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
