Yeah mind has too, I am glad it has though means I did not **** up on the application form, always worried that I have messed up a bit of them forms.

Maybe FAI should think about a web based system instead of application forms, I'm sure it would save time for us and them.

im just after getting added to the waiting list at the low position of between 1270 and 1280, anyone think i might get offered tickets for any match soon?

you should be offered tickets for any game that ticketmaster handles. If this does not happen contact the ticket office.

Hard to tell, they sold China and Italy as a package but didn't sell them out so they might offer new people Italy tickets. Give them a ring and ask I suppose.

[Chucky]

What exactly must I do to get on the waiting list? What Dept should I write for the attention of?

How long did it take before you received confirmation that you where on the list!?

[paul_oshea]

i just mailed info@fai.ie there, and asked was it possible to get on the waiting list and gave my address, name and number details. im sure thats about all you have to do??!?!?

Yep! Thats all you have to do if the list is open to go onto. As far as I know when the numbers get too high they close the list. Or as someone else on here has said maybe they will open the list indefinitely untill we play in Croker or wherever it is we will play.

I'm absolutely gutted!
I've been on the waiting list since about 1999 and haven't heard anything from them for months. Just e-mailed them to confirm that i'm still on the waiting list! I bloody better be!

You could be in trouble. I joined the waiting list in 1997 or 1998. I stopped receiving offers of tickets for friendly matches in 2002 even though I had always taken them. Got in touch with the FAI and was told I wasn't on the waiting list as a new one had started for the the 2004 Euro campaign and I had to re-apply to get on it :mad: . They could have been bull****ting me but bottom line was that I had been removed from the wiating list. I always check now every few months to make sure I am still on it. I am number 360 something as of last month.

False alarm, Miss Emma Buckley promptly replied in 18 minutes! to say I was at No.66. Still a bit disappointed though!

[paul_oshea]

what at most are on the list around 2,000? when we play in croker ( if thats a def ) wont those on the list automatically get on the block booking scheme? or will they just go to corporates etc?

also if the capacity is going to increase by 10,000 then surely that means those on the waiting list should automatically get on the block booking scheme when the new LR is opened?

[OMP Player]

Well I'd be highly disgusted if I was overlooked for tickets by a corporate "fan" if the capacity was increased. Were not on the waiting list for nothing!

[Soko]

Those ten year tickets were a joke, I can't understand why anyone would buy them. I think they were €7500 each, what would be the incentive of buying one of them, considering they were initially only offering them to block-bookers and those on the waiting list. :confused:



My old man and a few of his buddies got them afew years back and I'm almost positive they were far cheaper than that. Not a bad investment at all as we always have tickets and you get priority for major events i.e. the WC hopefully.

[dynamo kerry]

no1408 on the waiting list. I can be patient.

I think it will be a definite as we will play in a bigger stadium when LR is being redeveloped. That is assuming the BB list continues.

If it is Croke Park there will be 30,000+ extra seats and most will be non corporate.

I'm relly p155ed off now, they just seem to be randomly picking people off the list form what I can see. I've been on it since December 2003 and havent heard a dickiebird from the FAI except on letter to say I was on the list and also the offer to relieve me of €7,500 which I dont have. Havent been offered a ticket for any friendlies either which I'd gladly take if it meant brownie points, looks like I'm watching the remaining home qualifiers at home now anyway. Think I'll do like Andy Dufrane in Shawshank and write a letter a day!

Everytime there are friendlies announced you should be ringing the ticket office and enquiring about the ticket situation. If you're on the waiting list, you should be offered tickets. If you're not being offered tickets there is something up, you may have fallen down the list for not taking up previous ticket offers. It could be something as simple as the application form from the FAI getting lost on its way to you in the post, they obviously hear nothing back from you, so you drop off\down the list. Basically, you should be ringing up regularly....

Ther only offer I have refused is the offer for the €7,500 tickets which I think is reasonable. I've already sent an email asking why I havent been offered any friendly tickets so I expect to hear back on that soon. As I've said I'm gonna take the Andy Dufrane approach. Bit disappointed though to find out now that if I had been lobbying them for tickets I could have been on the list, honestly expected a 6/7 year wait.
