It will be in Larnaca. They have played all their qualifiers in this campaign in Larnaca.

This game will not sellout. The FAI are still accepting applications.
There is no need for a ticket exchange list now. Juast apply to the FAI even if not a bber.

No, the FAI agreed with all other associations of the group that the price of our tickets at away games must be the same as the price charged to their own fans

So a rip off.........unlike Croke Park ;)

It was supposed to be that way the last time as well ........................ but didn't end up that way.
We were ripped off :mad:

Why would the FAI need to do that as there are already FIFA and UEFA guidelines to this effect?
Some countries ignore them and get away with it.

Grand, but uncovered for the most part. (http://www.fussballtempel.net/uefa/CYP/Neo_GSP.html) Out in the middle of nowhere, so you'll need a taxi back into town after the game even if you're staying in Nicosia. The taxi drivers will look for those going out to Ayia Napa/Larnaka/Paphos first (the bigger fares basically), so if you're staying in Nicosia, it'll be a good 45 minutes before you get a taxi.

Or 9 times the price of Sofia. :D
The local price will be interesting. 10 euro in the past - can't see it being 25 euro this time (assume that is the price + 2 euro handling fee).

Kickoff time is 21.30 local time according to www.fifa.com
Disaster for me flight wise as my flight was moved from 02.40 to 00.35.
no refund offered but I have been given a free change to Gatwick on the sunday evening so I get home a lot later than planned

I'd imagine they will stay in Nicosia. They will probably fly out on the Thursday and train at the stadium on the Friday evening
