On a le match retour à domicile mais avec les Irlandais, on ne sait pas trop ce que cela signifie à domicile. Si on se souvient de notre dernière confrontation au Stade de France en octobre 2004, il y avait la présence de 30.000 Irlandais dans le stade. Déjà si on pouvait éviter cela, ce serait une première victoire. Je lance un appel à ceux qui soutiennent l'Equipe de France pour vite se mobiliser et avoir des gradins en bleu, blanc, rouge.
We have the return match at home but against the Irish we don't really know what 'at home' means. If we remember the last time we played them at the Stade de France in October 2004 there were 30,000 Irish in the stadium. So if we could avoid that it would already be a first victory. I call upon all who support France to quickly prepare themselves and have the seats draped in blue, white and red.
Guys, if you are unsuccessful in getting tickets from the FAI, buy them from
http://www.ticketnet.fr
or
http://www.francebillet.com/
Both website have English language options and are happy to post tickets overseas (postal strikes permitting if you're in the UK). Not sure when they go on sale though.
If you to take this route, try and get you tickets as close as possible to the Sud Tribune (the south end). This is were we were in 2004 and will most likely be there again.
To add to newrynyuk's help, Fnac will allow you to buy them and pick them up in one of their many stores in Paris (with the same CC as was used to purchase them).
Anyone remember how much tickets were in 2004, or how much France generally charge for big games?
The ticket I got from the FAI in Z12 which was the middle tier directly behind the goal was €20.Quote:

when and what time exactly are these going on sale??
when tickets go on sale can for change to on in the tread title
tickets for the home game v Austria were as cheap as €10, but am sure will be a bit more for this game.
as it's mid week, are we really going to get more than the 8,000 allocation going to the game?
i'm all up for taking as many places away from the french as possible, but not if it dilutes our own support....
The French Football website says that info will be posted very soon. There is no indication as to when tickets will be made available.
They will hardly take an Irish credit card or post to Ireland this time. Best to use any French contacts, French colleagues or even foreign contacts.
Remember you can also buy Croke Park tickets through the French Football Federation as well.
I'm sure they will. It's not the FFF that actually sell the tickets, you get them through ticketmaster-type sites which normally send all types of tickets to Ireland.Quote:

Is this genuine?: http://www.viagogo.com/Sports-Ticket...ckets/E-233706
They claim they can guarantee tickets from around €80 (not including fees, handling and VAT) despite no official announcement having been made yet. Or am I mistaken? "Derrière les buts" is behind the goals, but it doesn't specify which end.
Yes it's generally reliable but they do usually charge you double the price. "Derrière les buts" is their way of saying "the cheapest tickets" I imagine. They haven't a clue what they're going to get yet.
The only time in recent memory that FranceBillet or TicketNet have refused to sell tickets overseas was for the match against Germany 3 or 4 years ago due to hooligan concerns. Don't think the same worries applies too us. I got a pair of tickets for the match in 2004 through FranceBillet no problems.Quote:

In fact France matches rarely are. I've been to several French internationals at the Stade de France and the only time it was a full house was when the played Italy in the Euro 2008 qualifiers. But that was 3 months after they met in the World Cup Final.
As mentioned by ptegan above, you can always buy tickets through FNAC, then collect them when you arrive in Paris.
One of the lads who's not on the FAI's system (normally gets ticket through my allocation) got the following response to his application for away leg tickets (made everyone I know apply for this one):
"For ticketing information for the home/away legs of the Play-Off on November 14th & 18th versus France please keep an eye on www.fai.ie for updated information
Regards,
Ticket Office"
Anyone else receive this response or any other response yet? Hoping that because I didn't get the same it means my application is going to be ok.
I got a response saying tickets for the italy game would go on sale from ticketmaster outlets blah blah blah titled like tihs in my inbox:
FAI Ticket Office Tickets Italy
i got the same email as you Paul !!! i thought I was in a timewarp
The tickets for the Irish end in Paris are apparently €22.
think they range from €22 to €80. there is a form to be filled on fai.ie for those wishing to purchaseQuote:

I think this thread should be kept seperate as this is about froggie tickets as oppossed to fai tickets.
i'd like to reiterate my earlier point, and emphasise that people should not be buying tickets from the french FA unless we've sold out our own allocation.
I doubt we'll have more than 8,000 travelling to this mid-week, so it would make sense to have all our supporters compacted together so we can create the most noise?
if there's a strong indication that we'll get more than 8,000 going, i'm happy to collect tickets for people from FNAC, or have people's tickets delivered to my/ my work address.
magnum i remember before people getting carried away with stuttgart saying that there were going to be between 12 and 15k or something like that and in the end it was more like 6 or 7k if even, however this match is a lot bigger and there are an awful lot of irish living in london(and from continental Europe) now who will travel to this that normally wouldn't travel to away games. I personally know of around 10 lads going for either just the day or over tuesday evening who never go to games. Im just one wee soul, im sure there are plenty more :D
Having said that id say we will do well to have used up our full allocation. IF we have 10k there i would be very very suprised.
Agree with this. 8,000 official allocation. Delaney I am sure could secure a few thousand more if they think we will need them based on applications to date (Stade France doesnt sell out and prob wont for this game). Get an Irish End ticket!! IF you dont manage to source one - you will still be able to get a French FA one nearer the time.Quote:

Are you sure of your numbers for Stuttgart from memory id say at least 15k and possibly as many as 20k at the game, we were in a German secton near to the official irish secttion and the irish outnumbered the Germans 2 to 1 in this area.Quote:

I think those bbers that regularly travel away will be OK. I think block bookers will most likely be OK. However I don't think tickets will be on public sale for our end unless we get more than the 8,000 minimum.
I assume the cheapest tickets are €20 and that isn't too bad for peace of mind.
If you do get seats in the Irish end you must likely won't be stuck with the French tickets.

The less French support the better
thats what i said on another thread greenforever.

if we get more, great, and i'd be up for buying french tickets and giving them to any neutrals over french. just mindful of not diluting our support is all.
If we do bon or tres bon in the first leg, there will be a huge push for theQuote:
