OK, I'm off on a jolly in Prague over the weekend of the Prague (Slavia vs Sparta) Derby.
Anyone have any knowledge or experience of going to games like these and getting tickets? I have no idea where to start really so any advice welcome. I've even convinced the Missus it will be a good idea to go! |  |

Can't wait now to go. Sounds great. The plough and harrow in Llansamlet used to serve Staropramen back in the 90's when my brother worked there......lovely pint. | |

I've just emailed Slavia Prague to ask for tickets. What are my chances?  | |

I concur. It serves a great pint of draught Staropramen too. Probably the best beer I have ever tasted. Costs a bit more there but usually an acoustic band playing |
Staropramen is commercial crap you won't see many Czechs
drinking it its for tourists in "Irish bars'
The price in dubliners for that is around 80 zloty
in a czech pub it is 30 zloty maximum.
Get up to zizkov and taste the beer from the local
Czech brewers its a different world. |  |

A few mates and myself went to Slavia vs Mlada Boleslav a couple of years ago when we were out there. We bought tickets at the ticket office right outside the stadium on the day no problem even though it was the first game of the season. Not sure how much luck you'd have with the derby though.
You can get a tram easily enough to the station (Tram 22).
We wore Swans tops on the day which aroused a few confused looks but we felt safe enough.
The atmosphere was bouncing but never intimidating and we were sat near the away fans. You'll definitely enjoy.
Have you been to Prague before? Beware of the pickpockets as you walk into the town centre (You should be okay as they normally only target single men).
Also, check out the Coyote Bar, to the left of the clock tower and through the archway and you'll see it. Good music, atmos and entertainment. No strippers (So missus friendly) but the barmaids do a lot of fire-breathing, bar dancing etc. with clothes on. |
That Coyote bar sounds a bit Ugly ....... |  | | |

What nonsense .Staropramen is a premium beer. The Czechs use Korunas not Zloty's. An average pint would cost about 38 Korunas, Staropramen in the Dubliner a bit more, maybe 50 k. Many beer halls in Prague brew their own so you can get great beer in Prague. Even their commercial run of the mill beer is much better than ours and more importantly, no hangovers |  | | |

My mistake kr not zloty that was poland.
If you want some quality lager ill post some up
and the real Czech pubs (not irish stag do joints)you can find them later.
Staraporam is 65kr in dublner and easy to find for around
30 kr elsewhere so over double the price.
No Czech would class staraporem as a quality drink
its similar to fosters with Aussies they all tell you it's crap.
But at the end of the day it's about taste and if that's yours good luck. [Post edited 18 Sep 2014 16:44]

Do the Czechs have anything that resemble our 'Real Ales' here in the UK or are their beverages more of the Lager based ones? I'm more a real ale person now. | |

Sedm kuli is a real ale and probably my favourite drink of the ale variety
can be found at Ferdinanda pub just by the main railway station.
Plenty of others also in local bars. | |

The Dubliner is good for entertainment, there's usually a live band playing which makes a change from the beer halls. As the night goes on and you feel the need for something a bit more lively the Dubliner is fine. I also like the James Dean restaurant, which has a great dance are with a dj downstairs. I have yet to see Staropramen selling for anywhere near 30k or any other beer as that would be around a 90p a pint
You are right it's a question of tastes, but the locals don't drink it as it's usually a bit more pricey than say Gabrinus. The only bad pint I have had there was in the Red Lion near the square | | | |

SvÄ›tlé 11° | Light 11° 29 kr
SvÄ›tlé 12° | Lager 12° 32 kr
Tmavé 11° | Dark 11° 29 kr
Nealkoholické lahvové | Alcohol-free bottled 22kr
Sedm kulà tmavé 13° 0,4 | Seven Bullets Dark 13° 32kr
d`Este speciál 15° | d`Este special Lager 15° 35kr
above is the price list at ferdinanda which is one of the smarter places.take a look at the above link not a beer hall at all.
in zizkov its not unusual to pay around 25kr per pint in a nice pub.
Music at the Dubliner does not start until after 10pm taken from its own website which
is where I got the beer prices
they charge 99kr for HEINEKEN FFS no Czech in their righ mind would go in there.
http://www.aulddubliner.cz/menus/drinks-menu
So lets compare 65kr for stratopram and 99kr for hieneken in a irish bar
or 29 kr for svelte in a excellent prague bar/restaurant.no contest. [Post edited 18 Sep 2014 22:09]

Depends what you want. 10pm isn't late for Prague. As I stated in my previous post, it's great to drink in the local cheaper establishments, but if you feel like some sounds or to pull a few shapes on the dance floor, then the Dubliner or James Dean is a good option and I have had a few good times in there. I will look out for ferdinanda though, but in my experience I haven't found anything as cheap as that in the city | | | |

Pikeypaul some great info here, I'll be logging in on here once I'm over there to get the info. Great news is I'm in an apartment not too far from the central station so that's a result. | |

I'm sure Ferdinanda is good, It looks like a run of the mill Czech restaurant and I'm sure the food and beer is very good, but it doesn't look as if the place is going to be a bundle of laughs all night | | | |

Lucky you booked them on Ticketportal.
Slavia's improved form this season has added interest to the game and it has sold out for the first time in six years! |  | | |
