Ah, well if that's the case it's better news, there might be some spares in our end available then.

Heard about the multiple applications thing too but our spares seem v.thin on the ground.
The eejit who bought 150 tickets for their end ran an Irish pub there, made a big noise about this and was forced to return them.
The best hope could now be locals on the make...in which case, no colours and a lot of bluffing.
Yeah, you were just asked for an e-mail address and whether you wanted one or two tickets. After that, it in theory just depended on how many friends' e-mails you were prepared to use. I know myself and a mate are heading over, so I applied for two from both our e-mails just to raise our chances. I'm sure many others did similar.Quote:

Yeah, they're on the internet for E195 anyway.
prince20 - I got an e-mail saying my application was unsuccessful as all our tickets went to those who'd been to an away game this campaign.
Don't know what the face value is for them, €19 is it, so reckon they'll start at a €100 but the price could well drop depending on how many are out there.
But my advice is no colours, keep quiet and be prepared to bluff it.
Maybe a Scottish tourist...
:rolleyes:
Which is fair enough, if the FAI are indeed using logic.Quote:

Well, theres 7 of us travelling. All of us season ticket holders and 3 aways attended, although only Zilina and Skopje on record with FAI.
We have no tickets, no correspondence from FAI - emails ignored and fobbed off on the phone last week.
I knew this would be a disaster once they said those who had attended aways would be contacted re tickets, yet they set up an online portal for everyone else to register interest. A complete waste of time.
All of their energy should have been focused on gaugeing how many previous away attendees were travelling and sorting out as many of those as possible.
There's no way this has happened because there are too many regulars ticketless and predicted travelling numbers have been grossly inflated. I'd imagine circa 2,000 have booked this trip.
That's wrong.
As only did one away this time for various reasons. But did get myself a golden ticket. Sorry you were treated so poorly.
I know this contravenes the rules - but I have one spare and I am not able to make it this time to Tallinn. I've PMed the first person on the list (Fr Joe) and had no response yet). If gets back to me soon - he gets it. But could anyone else who is interested in the ticket please PM me. I'll have a look at the waiting list and give the person who is higher up the list first priority (sorry - don't have time to PM everyone). Face value of course. Dublin pick up - too late now to post.
Thanks
For an away game, the list order goes out the window a week before kick off (because of postage and travel delays as you note). So if anyone wants the one ticket, PM macdermesser. (I'll hold on for two tickets myself; bit rude leaving a mate in the pub while I go enjoy myself at the game!)
Thanks Stu. So .. first person to PM me then gets it.
Also, jbyrne is the first person on the list. Just before he comes on complaining!
I would PM you as I'm just looking for a single ticket, but I'm in London and there is no way of getting the ticket from Dublin to London before I leave on Thursday night :(
Pm sent macdermesser.
pm sent too. If anyone else comes across a spare only available in Dublin, or the midlands, or limerick area, I'd be interested in that too. (seeing as the list is gone out the window)
Macdermesser can u reply in thread if ticket is gone. Sent you a pm.
Thats sounds an awful lot like pressuring to me macdermesser, I wouldn't give him a ticket for that.....
Sorry lads - been a bit busy and wasn't able to reply any sooner. Junior was the first to contact me. He's been in touch and the ticket should be gone by tomorrow afternoon. If there are any last minute hitches, I'll let you know. Cheers
