I'd put money on it being "hairy sweaty beer-swilling Irish" to be honest.

Just had a quick look at stadium plan, looks like it's almost sold out, very few seats left together! Wonder how many Irish have got tickets by now, any guesses?

Just looking at the stadium on TV. Wonder what the view will be like at the very back behind the goals. The stadium slopes gently and there a huge gap between the stands and the goals. Could make a very weird angle for viewing.

Forever Dreamin, I think we've at least taken up most of 66 anyway.

I was there with Celtic in 2003. You are a fair bit away from the ground due to the running track. The higher you are the better, I would imagine the lower the row the ****er the view. The atmosphere was electric that night.

Yeah, the ones at the back are �25 and the ones lower are �20. I'm high alright, but due to the gentle slope it looks like the highest seats stretch back even further. Ah, who gives a toss, I'll be there.;)

Still probably cheaper than lansdowne!! Anyway it'll be worth it, when we repeat 88 with Robbie scoring the winner and Shay getting man of the match!

it'll probably be similar view to brussles '97 which at low level wasnt great. at least with a decent roof overhead there should be decent noise from us

booked 4 tickets for section 68 for 140 euro including DHLing here to Waterford. One of the lads who's a block booker got a f**k off letter from the FAI today knocking his allocation on the head. Booked two tickets for him and his brother while booking ours last night he he.
Looks like the German site is the way to go :)

I was low enough in Brussels but it wasn't too bad, great crowd made up for it most of the game though.

no its not only you - pics taken with fisheye lenses distort the perspective dreadfully.

Spoke with some one who was in Stuttgart last night in opposite end to Irish allocation and he said the lower seats offer horrible view but once you move back to the middle areas not too bad. He said it was like Stad de France only closer!

Here's the view from the stands. Click on blockplan and that will take u to the layout of the stadium. Have to say anyone low is going to have a cat view of the game.

It doesn't for me.

You should note that the layout of the stadium in Sept will be different from that being used for the World Cup ties as there will be a much smaller media area along with other unused space being made available.

There is seven of us booked into Block 10 ( right on half way line), but in lower tier........hopefully not bad view from here as much closer to pitch than behind goal......anyone else in this part of the stadium?

Bought 4 tickets last week. I rang today to see where they were and was told that the DFB(German football federation) blocked the sale and wont allow any tickets to be sold to irish fans.....even though that is BS coz some of you already have yours. :(
anyway ill just get them delivered to a german address.

How long should they take to deliver? I bought mine on Sunday and it's Wednesday now. I paid 40 Euro for delivery, shouldn't they be here by now? I ordered mine to a Slovenian address so they shouldn't be blocking it.

;) DFB don't seem to be exactly "on the ball", as it seemed to take a of couple
of weeks of heavy sales to many non German addresses before the penny dropped!!

For delivery enquiries ring DHL in Dublin 1890725725

Out of pig iorn i just logged onto site and ordered a ticket and then gave Ireland as a delivery address and it still let me and asked for crdit card details. Don't know if after accepting your money under EU law would they be allowed cancel the tickets, I doubt it.
