Pre-ordering train tickets...
Jynarco:
Well there'll be two of us so i guess the Länder-Ticket would be cheaper..
Soooo, when we're in the Nuremburg area we show the Bavaria ticket, and when we're in the Suhl area we show the Thüringen ticket....right? Sorry, I just wanna be totally clear...

Actually, the state border is between Ebenhausen and Münnerstadt, but my guess is if you just show both tickets to the train guard they'd be able to pick the one they need. ::)
I've also had a look at the intarwebs, and it seems you can get both the Bayern-Ticket and Thüringen-Ticket from railway ticket machines nationwide now. Of course, whether you'd actually be able to get the Bayern-Ticket at the subway ticket machine at the _airport_ is not clear right now, but even if they don't sell these there, the trip from the airport to the station is just a mere €1.50 or so. :)
If you're travelling back to Nuremberg on Sunday, by the way, you wouldn't want the two Länder-Tickets, but rather the Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket instead, which costs €33 and is valid for up to five people on either Saturdays or Sundays nationwide.

Why not agree on some form of identifying thingie (badge, fur puppet on you backpack, I dunno), and look about when you get at the station or off the plane to see wether there's more furballs about ? If not, nobody's lost anything, but if there are you can get together on the länder things.

My question is, that there will be 2 of in my party, arriving into Frankfurt a day before EF starts, and departing the next day after EF. What would the best option for us when traveling by rail then. Would pre-ordering the tickets or buying them once we arrive into Frankfurt. As it is right now we have no plains for the day before and after EF for site seeing, so things could change. Thanks. -Akita

Whilst there is nothing wrong with buying tickets in Frankfurt, preordering them would give you up to 50% discounted fares if you're willing to tie yourself to travel at a specific date and time.
