I contacted him and we had phone conversation about what he was offerring which was basically that he would bid on ebay.de on my behalf. and if successful would post the tickets to me if he got payment via paypal. He struck me as a decent sort and i agreed to this. He was very good at keeping intouch about the various auctions he was bidding on. He eventually "won" 2 tickets beside each other, and contacted me. He was able to present ebay.de confirmation emails for the auction win and a paypal reciept from his transaction with the German seller. I paid him the exact amount he paid the German guy, plus €6 for postage to Belfast. The tickets arrived this morning.
He also rang me to work yesterday to assure me that the tickets were on their way despite what had been said on this forum and his subsequent banning.
I understand the rules for buying and selling on this forum, but when such a transparent paper trail is left by someone offering to help fellow fans by bidding by proxy on ebay, i feel that the accussations of tout and banning is a massive over reaction.
PS I paid €85 for each ticket and Setanta took the hit for the paypal transaction fee. Im sure if he really wanted to make a profit he could have taken the tickets to Stuttgart and stood outside the ground and got double that he got from me.
I think the lad deserves a break

PPS You can take me off the waiting list too!!:p
There are no exceptions to the tickets rules on Foot.ie without explicit permission from me or one of the other admins or supermods; there's nearly always someone online, it doesn't take a lot of effort to contact us. The rule is right there at the top of this forum and it's very clearly stated.
Moreover, an eBay account is an eBay account, if people want to buy tickets on eBay.de they should use their own eBay account to bid, or register one for themelves on eBay.com or eBay.ie. The site is transparently easy to use in any language.
The user in question hasn't been banned permanently, they'll be back next week. In future maybe they'll obey the rules.

hopefully this will be the end of touting by PM
Forever Dreamin wasn't the only person this user contacted, unsolicited. Which is also against the rules.
Unless there's something major to add, can we leave it at that now please?

I'm coming from Canada for this and as of now I've no tickets. Given that many of us might end up without on the night I was wondering what the alternative would be.
Is it definite that there will be a giant screen in the main square.? If not is there a big beerhall anyone can suggest that we turn into little Ireland.
I'll be disappointed if I can not source a ticket but the important thing for me is to be in Stuttgart and totally enjoy the experience - I misses it first time rround 1988 but won a tidy sum from the Englsih guys I drank with in the Brittania Pub in Thornhill (Toronto). Mind you I had to skip that pub for a while after as they were not best pleased after giving me odds of 3/1.
I had tickets for Paris and was being offered tickets at face value by Irish supporters on the way into the stadium so I'm still optomistic.
I'm suggesting we have an alternate plan for ticketless fans ...........
Any ideas.
Cheers,
mjpcc , not to rain on your parade but french are poor supporters , the germans will not give up their tickets as easily , i would advise biting the bullet and going on ebay , i mean if you are coming from canada surely its worth payign a few quid extra??

The Germans are still selling a bunch of tickets on e-bay and at this stage i would just buy them there. It does not look like there will be many spare tickets on the night and France was an exception because of the problems with the phones etc....
Am rightly ****ed off as was sure i would get one of my regular FAI scource who has never let me down in the past but he only got 10 and with 150 names on his list i lost out in the draw...so any chance being added to the waiting list?????
The price for tickets on ebay.de are decreasing every week. There are still plenty available, and I reckon they will keep decreasing as we get nearer the date. There is currently 3 tickets beside each other for sale on ebay.de for €212 with about half an hour of auction left. Thats not too bad considdering. For those on the list I really feel this could be your only option if willing to pay over the odds.
The price for tickets on ebay.ie is getting ridiculous.
Anyone got a direct link to tickets page on ebay.de?? Or any wya to translate site to english???

you can take me off the list aswell, got my 2 tickets from ebay. Got them for 99 euro each and a seven euro for postage i recieved them in 3 days from germany. If you email him at [email] he might have some left.
If people want to buy off Ebay that's their own choice but you shouldn't post e-mail addresses of these touts on this site - eirebhoy
I don't think you should be advertising a touts contact details.Quote:

I don't think there is a problem in saying that someone has to buy a ticket from a tout at a certain price but the guy was adverstising for business for a tout, thats not being helpful or needed and certaintly not something I joined foot.ie to see.Quote:

I decided to go ahead and try to get tickets on ebay.
got an old German gent from the local German/Canadian club to help me. He has a mate living near Stuttgart whom he telephoned and this man will accept the tickets at his address and deliver them to me at my hotel. It's amazing how helpful people can be.
It's is very difficult to negotiate the German e-bay if you do not have German.
Anyway - so far so good. I ordered the tickets and as long as I'm no problems transferring the money to the seller's bank A/C in Germany - My Canadian bank will probably make the process as difficult as possible - and
the seller is legit I should be sorted.
However, after our performance against the Dutch I'm very worried as to what I might be witness to. .................:( :( :(
