Stranger things have happened!!

Well if they qualify they will win the tournament!!
You heard it here first!!:D

[citizenerased]

com on ireland!! !!

[macdermesser]

3,800 euro for four tickets for 7 games.

I'm nearly hoping they don't qualify! :D

[RogerMilla]

in fairness mcder you should have a few quid on them to qualify to lessen the blow !!

[citizenerased]

not a bad idea at all

[highlight100]

Did the have the lottery yet and/or how did anyone get on?

[citizenerased]

its not till the end of april...

[gspain]

lottery is meant to happen mid april with results by the end of the month. I'd expect to hear within a week or so really.

[Claret Murph]

Anyone know when they would want us to paid up front ?

[andrew1977]

My e-mail from Uefa just landed in my inbox. Unlucky in ballot ,no tickets for me:(

Bad luck. Heard nothing yet hope it is good news.

Last time out rejections came out first. Not that it mattered in the end but a mate of mine was sure he had tickets until he checked his junk mail a few hours later and found his PFO. A colleague did likewise. Real bummer.

Got the same myself. Wasn't expecting to get them i'd say the demand was fairly big

[gspain]

Got my PFO too. Amazed at the demand.

[galwayhoop]

Anyone know when they would want us to paid up front ?

i thought that it said you paid when / if your team qualified! maybe i am wrong on this

[shakermaker1982]

no luck for me neither - I picked two random games for the hell of it. Bugger

[Claret Murph]

Hey still nothing back from them , but I won't get my hopes too high as no doubt I will be shot down in flames .

[tetsujin1979]

got my unsuccessful notification this afternoon :(

[zenokelly]

didn't get anything yet, going for follow the team???

[zenokelly]

just checked the customer service on ticketing on the Uefa website and I am allocated 4 tickets for follow the team.- just need your customer refernce number and password. Please god we make it now. I will be praying!

[Loadedscream]

im allocated 2 for the follow my team group stages!!! i budgeted to be unsuccesful!!!! how much money do you lose if we dont qualify?

[Loadedscream]

sussed it out myself....woohoo

Payment for “Follow My Team":
Please note that your payment for Follow My Team (FMT) will only be due if you are successful in the lottery and your team qualifies for UEFA EURO 2008™. Therefore, FMT payments will only be processed after the final draw in December 2007. We will post you a letter with all the payment details needed for an international bank transfer accurately timed.

[citizenerased]

got allocated two for follow my team as well...

[casso36]

Got a unsuccessful email for my 2 tickets for final!!!:(

But hey was expecting that.

[scousedub]

Got my 3 that i applied for!

[galwayhoop]

got myself 2 FMT in the lottery too!!

great system this time too where you don't have to fork out the money untill after qualification!

[dcfc1985]

im allocated 2 for the follow my team group stages!!! i budgeted to be unsuccesful!!!! how much money do you lose if we dont qualify?

You wont lose a penny. If Ireland fail to qualify your application will be cancelled and no payment will be taken. (assuming you chose Rep of Ireland for FMT! ;) )

Got my unsuccessful Dear John email today :( ..and my name isnt even john! :D

[WexDec]

Got me PFO for my 4 FMT group tickets, no luck this year at all as with CL final but I did get 3 tickets for two games at Croker though :eek:

There were 6 of us that each applied for 4 FMT group tickets each to increase our chances so hopefully two of those applications will come up to cover us all (and the GFs and wives ,.....wags..., don't get in on the act, or more than two of them anyway). Will find out tomorrow (the lads are e-mail layabouts for even checking these things).

[highlight100]

Got the "Unsuccessful" message myself today.

[galwayhoop]

:eek:

my own 'wag' applied for tickets too (on my insistence) and was also successiful but upon finding out the good news she was swiftly informed that the tickets were not available to her.... a personal PFO if you want!! :D :D

we better qualify now because i've gotten through the 'flying saucepan' stage relatively unscathed for once!!!

[gilberto_eire]

i applied for as many tickets as i could get up to the semi-finals!!.... did that affect me like would i have only av been successful in getting tickets for everyday or would ya get say.... like a match here and there??

[AidoM]

Just checked the UEFA site and found out taht I'd been allocated 1 FMT for the Republic of Ireland. Cost is €951.50 (I presume that includes the cost of a ticket for the Final :confused: :p :D)

[RogerMilla]

i got the follow your team for ireland as well , class!!
come on lads!! lets do it !

[DeNiro]

Got the PFO myself. Can we reapply if Ireland qualify? Surely some people have got them whose team won't be there!

[galwayhoop]

Surely some people have got them whose team won't be there!


yep. and them people may be closer than you think :p

seriously though, as per your question about re-applying - the FAI is your only offical option for tickets in the event of qualification

[Istabraq]

Just checked there myself. Got 4 Follow My Teams.
Im glad to see that they are not making punters pay until their team has qualified. I was one of the unlucky ones who pulled in the lottery 4 tickets for our 1st 4 matches in the world cup. They took the money (nearly a grand) out straight away, and I didnt get it back until the March if I remember, even though we knew we werent qualifying since sept.

[RogerMilla]

much better system this way alright , cant see us making though lads in all honesty...

[Claret Murph]

YYYEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Got them but I have to bring the wife , she still will not trust me as I have tickets the Ireland home games and I gave them to my mate so the pair of us could go . Hey that was 5 years ago and I still don't hear the end of it .

[casso36]

Dump Her before the tourney starts!!!!:D :D

[harps1954]

Didn't get an email, but I logged on to the euro2008 website and was awarded two Group FMT tickets, so I'm delighted. Hope we qualify, but I'm not holding my breath.:(

and don't be expecting to stop hearing about it any time soon :D

[SuperDave]

yup. unlike the world cup, FMT only apply until your team is knocked out. in the world cup, if your team qualified and you had a FMT to the final, even if they were knocked out, you still got to ge to the final. not like that this time, which is a damn sight fairer. and judging by the fact there are people on here who were unsuccessful in FMT allocations, Irish FMT tickets were oversubscribed, so the FAI point stands true.

Talking of that, how do the FAI allocate such tickets? Is it block bookers first, a lottery or what? I mean, would a waiting lister who know has seats in croker stand any chance of getting tickets? I didn't apply because I thought it was fifa-esque pay up front and, being a final year student, I'm a bit in debt. Anyone have 2002 experience?

[Schumi]

It'll be the same as away qualifiers I'd say: block bookers first, don't know after that.

[SuperDave]

is that only a recent thing though? I looked on the website the other day and saw it. I could have sworn it didn't used to be like that.

[dcfc1985]

Cost is €951.50 (I presume that includes the cost of a ticket for the Final :confused::))

Are you playing as well Aido for that price? :D
I'd expect to be on the bench at least for that money! heheh

[citizenerased]

thats for 7 games, i wouldnt mind paying more if we qualified....believe!!
