if i were you, that receptionist would be getting a box. surely it will turn up....though why didnt you get your name on the postage, and as soon as they come in, have the receptionist forewarned to ring you and you can come down and sign them yourself, i thought thats how all businesses worked?!?!?!

could someone have swiped them knowing what they were?!?!

she's close to it alright, doesn't give a feck.

My name was on postage, then goes into a tray with your name on it, hardly rocket science. I'd say some **** has it sitting on their desk right now..

Don't think anyone would have robbed them..

Rang Eventim this morning,bad news for us.
Our tickets have been cancelled,she said they have been instructed by the FAI that tickets are not to be sold to Scottish or English either!!!!!
Still waiting on a refund as well!!!

i've never come accross a more half baked attempt to keep away fans from getting home tickets. did they think that we are so stupid that we wouldnt try and use non-Irish addresses to get tickets? just saying that they werent allowed sell to Irish fans was hardly going to stop us from finding a way around it! now that the stadium is more or less sold out they cop on that we are using non-Irish addresses and try to stop it!!

the only thing that worries me, and its not a major concern given previous experience, is that they somehow try to refuse us entry on the day

Just imagine they win the World Cup! What will happen then?
If there's not enough home supporters to give them a standing ovation, we will do it for them!!! :D

I got tickets as soon as they came out through a German firm we do some work with ( i now have them in my hand), Can i safely assume

a) they will not be cancelled/withdrawn
b) we can get into the ground wearing colours ? i think i am in block 45
or
c) if that is all you have to worry about count yourself lucky

A) nope, you've paid for them fair and square and you have them in hand....just learn some german to trick them at the turnstiles ;)

B) based on paris i would cover up your shirt until well in the ground... if questioned, just say your lost and smile sweetly

c) theres nothing to worry about it'll be a great weekend, better still that we'll win!!!

If tickets were sent to an Irish address then there is still the possibility they will be cancelled. I don't think they will. However they might be.

There will be lots of scare stories that you won't get in etc. You will get in. The last thing the police want is 15,000 fans with tickets locked out with empty seats inside. There won't be trouble inside but may be if they lock out fans with tickets. However this will be ignored and the scarw stories will start.

Thew German FA screwed up big time. It's too late now to fix it.

maybe you should consider selling the tickets ;) i know loads of people who would use them for you and you ould sleep at night;)

all joking aside you will probably find your surrounded by irish no matter where you are in the stadium, enjoy it as Ireland beat the world champs in their own backyard

Thanks for the advice

tickets were sent to Newry on the 8th , but billed to England (i called in a few favours)

Really looking forward to it. Was over in Germany in April at another German firm and primed them about getting me tickets as well however things arent going great on site and if Germany win the world cup they mightened come through. Will keep you posted

Was in the 'French end' for the game in Paris and made no attempt to cover up on entry, got in no probs.
When the authorities realise through our behaviour on Friday night/Saturday afternoon that they're not dealing with any thug element, they'll gladly mix the fans!

If you´ve got a ticket, you will get in. There´s been a big boohay about there being names on the World Cup tickets and that people wouldnt get in if your name didnt match the one on the ticket, but nothing´s happened ... so if there´s fcuk all happening at the WC, there surely won´t be any problems at a Euro qualifier.

Yeah,

Brother lives in London Ordered 3 tickets last thursday and they were delivered to him this morning. And as i said in last mail got another 2 today.

Elroy, try in the morning again on the eventim.de site laods came on stream about 10.30 this morning. Also if your applying for them using an english address make sure you set up the account in there name and give there address as billing and shuipping address, thats what worked for me.

I paid 39.40 for delivery, its because they're delivered within 48hrs by international courier. Steep I know, but hey they weren't meant to be sent abroad in the first place!:D

Confused,

1 of my orders was cancelled, i booked 5 tickets using irish address and they cancelled that was 15/06/06. and card only refunded on 30.06.06. after ringing them. So you should be ok just takes a while.

this is TICKET TOUTING, just look at the text around the tickets, its quite obviously tickets bought by somone after using this site to see how to buy them. I accept that "tigger" here is not touting but the person who has them on ebay is and they are IRISH:( :( :(
