No luck either, need 2. Oh well plan b now..
Justs got email from FAI confirming I'm ok for tickets for Stade game. I'm a blockbooker
disgusted ..got rejected. at every home and away game in this campaign (even lost out 300e on Georgia ffs) and this is how we are threated. never been so ****ed at the fai than this. no more that 3/4,000 at every away game and yet they stil cant keep these people happy ...total joke ...
Comfort yourself with the fact Abbey travel got nearly 800.
That is actually terrible. Did you get all your tickets through the fai?Quote:

I have tickets myself, over the moon, hope all those who want to go make it.
Why can you get 3 Tickets when the like of me and others can't get any, when most of the time you can usually only get 2, it just don't seem fair, By the way i am not having a go at you Wexfordman or anybody else who got more than 2 tickets, just the Fai?Quote:

Now consider the spaces in the stadium where no tickets are available.... Could it be that the FFF at holding back as they know they will need to offload these to the irish fans ...in the form of a 2nd allocation as they can't sell their own...maybe they did not sell off the quantity they mentioned initially????
We know that the french are selling their tickets via this website but note that in almost 1/4 of the stadium ...there is not 1 ticket available and this is also the south tribune of the stadium (The away end).....could it mean that we might get a nother round of tickets ?
just a theory ...looks like almost 1/4 of the stadium has not been offered to the French people ....i.e another chunk could be in the offing...
Again just a theory...
You might be right BB but think a shed load of French tickets have been bought by touts/chancers hoping to make a killing as will any other frnece tickets. Have a notion the touts/chancer willl end up out pocket.Quote:

I can see from previous posts that some wait-listers have not been allocated tickets but it would be interesting to see if there is any consistent pattern.
disappointing, my app was rejected. been to quite a few away games over the last 6 years including Italy and Bulgaria this campaign. don't go to too many home games though i was at the Italy one.
I was successful. I'm a waiting-lister and applied for the €42 category tickets.
I would imagine all BBs requests have been looked after. Im a WL and got my request, has any WL's been turned down?Quote:

Waiting lister who made 3 outa 5 away - asked for 2 42 e got 2 42e ticketsQuote:

Rejected.:(
Is it official that we will be in the south stand...have heard it will be the north end this time?
Block booker since they started block booking. Got confirmation today for 6 in €42 section. 2ND away game of campaign and got all tickets thro fai. (15 FOR SOFIA)
Didn't get any email :mad: Not looking good, f*ck f*ck f*ck.
Anyone else not had any reply either way from the FAI?
It looks like people either got all they applied for or nothing from the posts, did anyone apply for say 8 and get 4??
Given that most people seem to apply for far more than they require I would imagine a lot of spares will appear from people who applied for more than they needed and wont return them for fear of having their allocation cancelled.
Waiting Lister. Applied for seven, got seven. e42. I haven't been away since Wales last time out as well as San Marino but I let the FAI know that I was also applying with other people who are block bookers who had been to Montenegro and Cyprus this time.Quote:

I'd like to think it made a difference.Quote:

On the waiting list for about 5 years and applied for 4 tickets and got none. Was in Bari but doesn't look like it made any difference
Got my rejection email... Damn it!!
I still haven't received any response yet. I applied for 6, was a BBer in the last campaign but only been to GEO away this time out.
I bought tickets on the French side but would prefer to be in with the BIG and will obviously make any spares available at cost price...
I've also had no response, was going to give the ticket office a ring but couldn't find a number for them and then they're probably closed for the weekend.Quote:

I know that galah is a waiting lister around 900 who gets all home tickets and has been to all away games this campaign as well.
No response yet either.
The ppl in the ticket office seemed to work late on friday and probably agreed to finish the emails on monday.
With 17000 tickets applied for, thats probably a few thousand ppl to email. And every successful applicant gets their own unique booking number so that just makes the process longer.
But we should hear by lunchtime on monday, if not one of us shud ring them.
I dont hold out much hope anyway, only got to the italy game in bari.
But gonna make it into stade de france one way or another!
Block Booker. Applied for three and got email confirming three.
Galah seems to be the only WL above who didn't get tickets for Paris. Did he get his away tickets directly from the FAI?
It's pretty clear the importance of getting your own name on the FAI records for both home and away games.
I was a block-booker back in 94 and didn't get any tickets for the world cup finals from the FAI probably because i had no away record other than Italia 90 (mainly because I didn't have the resources back then to travel). As I've been to many more away games since then I have generally been successful with the FAI. I can understand the frustration of those who haven't got them yet but keep the faith - I have no doubt you will all get into the Stade de France.
Waiting lister and been to 3 away this campaign but got my rejection email. Seems to be a fairly random draw if there are people who have been to every game and didn't get anything.
Holding out some slight hope that maybe a lot of people doubled/tripled their applications to make sure and that there might be another release of tickets if some of these are not taken up.
I emailed them yesterday afternoon just asking could they confirm that they received an application from me, as I had no word about being succesfull or not for the away game. This morning I got an email off them saying that due to the high volume of mail they wont be replying and to just check the site for more details :rolleyes:Quote:
