I have tried to store an example at: http://www.geofox.de/jsf/showSearchResult.seam?LANGUAGE=en_GB&language=en_GB&cid=2290 Usually from most destinations you have to buy a single fare ticket for the so called 'Hamburg Grossbereich', which costs 3,20 Euro. They can be purchased at the automats in the train stations. They are valid for 2 hours. If you are in a group up to 5 persons you can buy a group ticket for 11,60 Euro. You can find more information at http://www.hvv.de/en/ We will provide some further information on public transport in Hamburg in our welcome session 19th july 10h00.
