Then you should offered tickets for every friendly, and also for the qualifiers with low demand (I have been since I went on the waiting list). You must take these or you will be knocked off the list. Then it is a matter of waiting - I have to say that like the others on this thread who received the magic letter this week, I had given up any hope, so who knows...
The 1,000 figure would be for games without bucket seats on the terraces, capacity 49,000.Quote:

just keep annoying the ticketoffice with emails and eventually you start getting offred certain games - friendlies mostly
then if you keep accepting these they start moving you up the ladder!!
Ive been on the waiting list for a year so I got on to the FAI to find out what the story is with the friendly tickets as Ive been just getting them from ticketmaster and had never been offered any from the FAI, heres what they said:
"At the start of the World Cup Qualifying campaign we were in a position to offer some people on the waiting list tickets for the Bulgaria friendly and the first WCQ`s against Cyprus and Faroe Islands. Customers who took up these tickets were offered tickets for the friendly games against Croatia/Portugal and then China/Italy. We are unable to offer anyone on the waiting list tickets for the upcoming WCQ`s against Israel, France and Switzerland as the three Associations are taking their full allocations."
I would request from them that you get offered tickets for all friendlies so that you can build up a bit of loyalty points etc. It is terrible that they are offering tickets to ticketmaster for a game and not offering them to a person that is on the waiting list, i.e. you. They made a **** up like that with my brazil czech rep. romania package and I gave out **** about it, and since then there have been no errors. I think it is always worth ringing up and checking time and time again.
I think if you can show ticket stubbs for all the away games you should be able to get home match tickets.
Credit Card has been deducted €180 for the three games already. That's Delaney for you.....
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.Quote:

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

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

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.Quote:

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?
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!

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.Quote:

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!Quote:

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.Quote:
