Only 8,000 tickets made available in Paris

[SuperDave]

Persumably Cork CIty have sold them their allocation (as the post says in conjunction with CCFC), which while understanable is the very reason why the BB schem is far more preferable. Imagine you are a CCFC fan, go to thier matches, get your international tickets from them and suddenly sorry bud we have cashed in.... touting in another name

can you blame cork city?

they are probably getting a premium for it and lets face it if any club needs it it's them!

maybe derry city as well right enough.

That works on the assume that DCFC are organised enough to do something like this. Let me assure you, we aren't.

YES I CAN

I would have less of an objection if they offered them directly for sale at a premium to their own season ticket holders and supporters first which I doubt they did given they way the club seems to be run.

This is what went on with the tickets pre the bb scheme, and how touts ended up with wads of tickets, im actually surprised there are no objections here from prople who have been scrambling for tickets and may have been more than happy to buy from a LOI club knowing they club were getting the premium and not some travel agent.

It still is TOUTING no matter what way you dress it up.

god knows what Coughlan will do with the cash from it.

How do these crowd have tickets? I wonder if they are Irish End or French End?

It's the 'preferential treatment for travel agents' approach again.....and be amazed if not Irish tickets.

If you read the thread, you will see that the package is in concjuntion with Cork City FC, ie the tickets are those allocated to Cork City.


Cork City have obviously shafted whoever normally takes their away ticket allocation, and sold them on to Wallace Travel.

And not in a discreet way either. I would be amazed if the FAI thought this was acceptable - i.e. making a profit on their allocation of tickets?

The chances of CCFC being in existence next season I wold imagine is less than Zero, so they don't care. The way they have coducted their business all season has been an insult to their supporters.

Hopefully there will be a new club controlled by Forfas which can copy Rovers and build a solid club, anyway that is a different topic altogether already discussed on a diferent thread.

Terenure FC hope to raise €1500 approx by raffling 4 tickets, any views on this

I would prefer this to what CCFC have done, and wish them the best in selling the raffle tickets.

Have you asked them? And do you know what their allocation was?

For the people who got sucessful tickets for the away leg - has the payment gone through on my credit card? - I'm concerneded the FAI are giving me the run around about these tickets

not on your card but my own! came off last week

[Ro81]

Any idea when the tickets for the away game are being issued?

[DannyInvincible]

Any idea if there'll be a re-allocation of tickets that weren't taken up from the first allocation? Surely there were a fair few bookings cancelled due to overbooking and whatnot. The FAI have been pretty quiet on this.

Those who don't have tickets yet; are you gonna sit tight and hold out until you get to Paris or would you rather have a ticket, no matter what, before heading over? I'm thinking I'll probably hold out. The chances of getting a cheaper ticket over there might be greater, whereas you'd be charged through the roof for trying to get one via eBay or something at the minute. What do people think?

[paul_oshea]

I know lots of people hvae spares floating around danny, so hold out and dont panic.

There will be no shortage of tickets in Paris ...people who applied for more than they needed are unlikely to return them for fear of screwing up future allocations and instead will bring them over and sell them in Paris. Most will only pass them on before they leavefor Paris if they actually know the person to reduce the risk of the ticket being touted.

[Junior]

Do not panic buy! Spares will be available or face value French end tickets will appear in Paris when the touts realise not nearly as many Irish fans will be travelling as they frst thought. In fact it wont be touts per se but local French Students or the like who thought they saw a chance to make an easy buck and will now be stuck with the tickets unless they offload at face value.

[paul_oshea]

That french student thing reminds me of a story, i always thought froggie students were always really crusty and tight and on this occassion in gothenburg it proved right! The dubliner gave out free food at the 6 nations game between italy and ireland i think, anyway im assuming they must have done it a bit as the froggies knew whta was going on, they bought 1 pint of guiness between 6 of them and waited patiently for the food to come out, which was a good hour, ate all hte food and fcuked off. Couldn't get over the cheek of them, and the women weren't even good looking!

You should have chased them out of the place with a pool cue.

[paul_oshea]

There was no pool table like home ronnie!

[finbarrk]

Can someone post up what blocks we are in? Sorry if this was done allready.

[gwhite]

anyone got any idea when the the tickets for the away leg are being posted out? i can't relax until i have them in my hands.

[paul_oshea]

I beleive they were to be posted the end of last week begining of this week, from what they told me when I emailed them.

Im in England and if they aren't here by the end of the week Ill be sh1tting bricks as logistically its probably impossible to get them after that.

They did tell me they would DHL so the extra 2 euros etc isn't going ot cover that cost but i appreciate that they will DHL outside of ireland.

they wwre posted yesterday, the south should get them today, the north tomorrow, not sure about mainland Europe - they were obviuoslly concetrating on the home leg

B1 aswell - roll on next Wednesday!

[eaststand85]

Probably a bit early to be panicking (although will definitely start if not here when I get home from work tomorrow) but did anyone else in Dublin not get theirs yet?

[Docboy]

Got mine this morning East, in saying that they were only postmarked on Tuesday. Leave it until tomorrow at least before panic sets in, you'll be grand.

[eaststand85]

Cheers Doc, nervous enough about the games without having to worry about the tickets too!

[philkildare]

Just to those still looking for tickets for Paris, I applied for tics as a BB'r but didnt tick the BB'r box so was unsuccessfull. I called Fai last week and they said that if they had any tics returned they would give me a ring. Got a call 2 nite saying he had got three tickets for me. I'm not sure if this was some body doing a good deed or that they have lots of tics returned?? Fair play to the guy either way!!

[RonnieB]

Good to hear Philkildare. I reckon there were a few returned with people and their mates all looking for the same amounts and both getting sorted.

[Blue Man]

Jus got mine in my hand there. Block A12 Row 41, Seats 20 and 21.

Cannot wait!!!

Only difference between the 22e and the 42e tickets seem to be that the 22e are behind the goal whereas the 42e are near the corner flag. All on upper tier though.

Do you think it will be a case of sit whereever you like like most away games of late or do you think people will go lookimg for their actual seats, cant remember the last away game when I found my actual seat, possibly Stuttgart

Bearing in mind the demand I'd say it'll be more like Stuttgart than Sofia or others.

Ya Bari was a bit of a free for all alright but that was cos there was loads of spares seats around us. May not be the case in the SDeF.

Is segregation strict at the Stade, or would Irish fans with tickets for the French end be able to wander down to the Irish end and watch on the steps/squish in with other fans once inside the ground?

Considering the game's a sell-out I'd say it'd be very difficult to get into the Irish section, wouldn't say they'd be too hot on people sitting on steps either. Probably depends on how many of the touting Frenchies show up when they realise they can't flog their tickets to us for 3 times the price.
