Hi
The FAI made a balls of my application. I am a blockbooker, i sent in my email back in May. I rang them at the start of June to make sure i was on teh correct list and she said i was.
I rang again the other day asking why did i not get an application form, she said they made a mistake and put me on the general list instead of the blockbooking list, muppets!!! So no tickets!!
So I am looking for 2 also, if anyone has any spare
Thanks
Hi
Stupidly I only came across the guide to eventim.de in the last week when all the tkts were gone. Have tried the FAI but no luck. Am also bidding on ebay but keep getting outbid. So if anyone had any spare tkts it would be much appreciated....
Just got the dreaded email from eventim saying my credit card will soon be refunded...took them long enough as i had originally booked on the 17th June. Anyway, on the look out for just two wee tickets if anyone wants to take pity on me!
;) Is it me just getting very cynical in my old age or does there seem to be a fair number of posters appearing with a very low number of posts looking for tickets for this game.........................................
I am not accusing anyone of anything and no offence mean't if you've just come across the site and are heading to the game etc.... but I wouldn't put it past those pesky touts to make a few token posts before looking for some briefs at face value to sell on at a healthy profit!!;)
Hi Junior,
yes, I'm one of those of those johnny-come-lately posters and I know it must look a bit dodgy to seasoned veterans but I only came across the site last week (don't know what I was at till then). Have been going to home games since the early 90's and apart from the friendly in Amsterdam in '04, the trip to Stuttgart will be my first full away game. just finding it hard to get the tickets, stupidly thought the hard part would be getting the flights + accom. So I am legit and its killing me to put bids on ebay and deal with these guys who are trying to make a nice profit for themselves....
i would imagine that there will be a few tickets flaoting around on the day of the game from genuine irish supporters. we should have a few spares but wont really know till the day of the game and can ascertain all our regular gang are sorted. Dont pay mad money to touts.Quote:

i would say most people that applied for fai tickets also got tickets from eventim so when the FAI ones are allocated there should be a decent amt of spares floating about. I'm sure the FAI tickets will be allocated in a few weeks leaving about 4 weeks for others to pick up spares. dont give in to touts.... was badly stung (along with many others) for Basle 03Quote:

Hi Lads,
im looking for one ticket if possible please
thanks!

I don't post a lot either but I visit the site evry day for a good read....I thought it would be a good idea for everyone to try to sort each other out for this game but I agree with you that it could probably lead to a couple of touts slipping through the net....thats the nature of the beast I suppose.
Hope I'm wrong as I've also been on the receiving end of touts, France in Lansdowne last year cost me €150 snots for a bucket seat.
I think I made it perfectly clear in my post that I wasn't looking to offend any genuine fans - If you're looking to be offended, then fine, whatever floats your boat. If 'credential checker' means I don't want tickets from genuine fans on here, falling in to the hands of touts then thats what the post was intended to do, highlight that it is a possibility.Quote:

Im fairly certain plenty of spare eventim tickets will become available from Irish fans once the FAI allocate the 5k tix they have.
Wasn't offended really, sorry if it came across different.
Absolutely, should make more of an effort to contribute alrightQuote:

Lads,
I only found out about site in the star newspaper on the 14/06/06 and since then have been on everyday, Excellent site and great reads and craic!!.
I must say i was one of the lucky ones that recieved 5 tickets from eventim.de in 2 lots. My original application on the 15/06/06 was rejected but kept logging onto site and got as i said 2 lots, 3 the first time and 2 the second. As i know how hard it is too get tickets for any game i have offered the tickets to, 2 posters on here for face value (plus postage) which is nearly as dear as tickets. I hope that other fans that have spares would do the same and try and kick out all them bloody touts!!!!.
So everyone with spares save for the real fans please!!!!! Keep them posts comming and keep up the good work all!!!!!!
Fair play to you Casso! You don't have more by any chance?!!
I wasn't offended by the posts Junior as I can see where you're coming from particularly as it looks like some of these guys seeling the tkts on ebay got the info on tkts from this site
Sorry Oleole,Quote:

I know its a bit of a pain, but is it woirth a moderator perhaps keep one post edited with names of members who are looking for tickets, in the order of when they posted the request?
At least 'when' they become available people can see who's next in line to offer them to? just a thought..................
Thats your old age Junior :)Quote:

I never had this trouble with them, normally i get tickets for away games with no problem at all. I just hope i aint left without tickets cos of this mess up!!!
Surely they can put you on the proper list now. I would insist that they do.
same happened to me and i got put on bb list after calling them up although that was a few weeks ago at leastQuote:

I just called them to check on the status and they say they received 12,000 requests for 5,000 tickets. I'm sure many of the 12,000 also went via eventim.de so, as usual, I'd say there'll be spares available on the day. I also expect that many block bookers have applied who won't be attending. They'll have applied for their mates who will have also tried other routes.
Great idea Junior and I'll volunteer my services (nothing at all to do with me having a vested interest in the whole thing!)Quote:

They have me on the reserve list now. Sure they are a bunch of muppets. I get tickets for most away games, no problem so fingers crossed some kind soul here will sort me with 2!!!Quote:

guess its hard to know what demand will be like closer to the time, but its good to know guys are making an effort for each other. Sadly, all i have to offer at this stage are a few spaces in the hire car from karlsruhe-Baden on the Saturday morning!

In regard to touts grabbing hold of tickets, I cant agree more about the scalpers the are the low of the low alrite, so I just wanted to state that I know it may seem a lot to ask for as I am quite new to posting yet have been viewing the site for over 2 years now just only got into posting now as have taken all the time to soak up all the great info saying that will try to post more often to give any help and info I can!! also lads just to let you all know got my money back from eventim yesterday for the canx application so whatever help can be given on getting this true fan to germany with some tickets that would be great!!
And one last note............. Anyone know or think that eventim will have any more tickets to sell once the realise how many Irish applications they canx????
guys, if you wouldnt mind adding me (2 tickets) to the list. getting slightly worried about sourcing tickets solely through the FAI. Have plenty of sources (not least Pats) and will use them too but, if it is by buying the eventim tickets from someone who got in on teh Fai allocation, then so be it
Hi there,
I bought 3 from eventim but I got none in the post and refunded after the rumble, and I got the Dear John letter (literally!) from the FAI yesterday as I'm only on waiting list for block booking, so if I could please be put on this waiting list for up to 3, I'd sure appreciate it..
I don't have many posts on here but am an avid reader since a couple of years, and certainly not a tout. I went to the away games in Paris, Basel and Tel-Aviv last year as you'll see from my past posts.
Thanks a mill..
tel aviv was some trip eh!!:D :D :DQuote:
