Feck that. The locals are really going to try and screw us in the black market by the looks of it. They must know we're all desperate for tickets.
If thats the prices they'll be looking for, i'll have to watch it in a bar. I cant afford that :(
thats an irish lad thats selling them under the guise of a local as he is also selling 2 tickets for the slovakia match..joke..
now here's good value from a reliable source :mad:

Personally, I'd pay the price if I can afford it (supply and demand, living in a capitalist society etc.) I don't have any hang ups with anyone making a buck with tickets, not because I condone, approve, or like the situation (who would?) but there's no difference between that and playing the stock market or buying illegally imported beer.
I'm not going to begrudge someone selling a match ticket that I want, in order to pay for say an ipod that costs a months pay for them but a day's pay for me.That's capitalism, which in the general scheme of things - and spread over a lifetime - has been, mostly, good to the majority of us.
My problem is will you actually get the tickets? In Switzerland 2003 I thought I was safe with Euroticket (??). Lucky I also got a ticket for the Swiss end.
If €175 is the opening salvo, and it looks like the Czech's never sell out their games, prices should come down. Remember supply and demand does work both ways.:)
Lads I wouldn't be surprised if there is a fair few tickets knocking around on the day of the game. It's nearly always the same story when there is a scramble for tickets, they can't be got for love nor money, then as kick off approaches they start to appear. I'd say plenty of czechs would be turned by the sight of a 50 euro note and there will be a fair few of us in their end. But on the chance there is alot of us outside the stadium prior to kick off and with no ticket in the paw does anyone know the area around the stadium ie we can leg it to a nearby boozer to catch the game on the box? (i presume czech tv will be showing it?)
Lads, have the tickets been distributed for this match yet? If not when are they supposed to be?
Got my tickets today for both matches.Czech match is in section D92 which stuck away down in the corner, and section CS which is behind the goal for the Slovakia match.Quote:

Come in, John Delaney, tell us what's going on
60%? That surely cant be right?
60 tickets more like.:eek:Quote:

Prague is like Dublin, in that there are as many ATMs over there, there are loads of currency change places and they will take the Euro but you will get ripped off by using it. I always bring a bit of local cash and bring a bank card and a credit card just in case. I would not bring a bundle of cash as if you lose it you have no comeback.
Just a warning lads this will be my 5th time in Prague its a class city but watch out for pickpockets and if you are buying anything out their check your change they are shocking at trying to ripp you off.
The FAI got 2,500 tickets.Quote:

In reality we won't know until we get there. I reckon there will be laods of tickets around at inflated prices and the price will drop considerably as the game approaches.
So those with the biggest balls will be rewarded with the best price......Standard Pracice!:mad:Quote:

Cheers.
good call reddladd..im sure a few dudds will be about
And once it's posted, can someone with a colour printer and some ticket-size paper do the needful? Purely for reference purposes, of course... ;)Quote:

Maybe there should be a general concensus that people should pay a maximum of say €100 for a ticket.
If word could be spread around and fans stick to this then maybe fans would pick up tickets. When approached by a tout offer him €100 and no more!
I know it's hardly gonna happen but if people stuck to their guns then the touts would have no choice!
Alot of supporters will head back home after the Slovak game so I can't see any more than 4000-4500 fans there and there are already 2500 tickets. If they couldn't fill the stadium for the German game then surely there will be plenty of tickets floating around.
It will certainly be worth risking going up to the ground before kick off and waiting until the last minute to get a ticket.
Hopefully someone will post a pic of a ticket so it can be compared when buying a ticket.
Lads, what section behind the goal are the Irish fans going to be situated? If anyone has a ticket and could check I'd appreciate it.

Cheers for that Paulie!
I read something in the Independent a couple of weeks ago that there is going to be a big screen set up somewhere in Prague that will show the Ireland game. Im not sure how true this is but it could be of interest especially if we dont get tickets for the game.
It's meantioned as a maybe in the YBIG fanzine too.Quote:

Some of you might want to get tickets that way, but don't do it through here
Dodge is there anyway the reason for my deletion could be changed as it looks like I was touting also. I know its a small thing but dont want to have a reputation for touting.
Same goes for me Dodge.....no way do I get involved with nor approve of touting!!:mad:Quote:

€65 each...so it's official travel agents really are glorified touts!
And FAI said they couldnt give tickets to block bookers because they had to give them to their official travel agents...
Oh arent you the clever boy. Of course Travel Agents make a profit on tickets:rolleyes:Quote:
