I was 1st told they did not receive my application. Then after some consulting she said that I never said on my "Email" that I was a block booker. I said that I didnt send email but ordered through my fai account. After more consulting she said that I was actually unsuccesfull as were some bb's. 3 differetn reasons!! If other supporters with longer bb'ing status or more recent away games got tics ahead of me, I dont mind at all, but I have heard that thisis not the case. Can this be confirmed by anyone?? Thanks for your help!!
Just a question here if anybody has an idea or suggestion. I'm going to Paris on the Monday, two days before the play-off second leg. Now I know much really depends on the result in Dublin but what chance have I got of buying a ticket in one of the outlets in Paris. Whatever the result, hopefully a 3-0 home win to kill off any remaining french support, where can I go and look for a ticket in Paris on the monday when I'm over?. I know Carrefour was mentioned as one outlet.
To the best of my knowledge, the FFF's home batch that went on public sale has been officially sold out since the first or second day they became available. That's not to say there won't be touts trying to sell tickets they bought for the very purpose of trying to sell on to Irish fans for a profit. It's been mentioned on here already but you could have luck with some of the Irish bars in Paris that might have bought up a few tickets in anticipation of a large number of Irish supporters travelling over ticketless. Try phoning a few. Presumably, they wouldn't be charging above face-value. Maybe someone else would have a better idea on that matter, but it would be a pretty scummy thing to do in my book.
Mate of mine who is a BBer since we moved to CP and wont be getting tickets in the new LR and has no aways on record applied for 5 and got 5. I was amazed he got tickets.Quote:

There will be plenty of tickets available on the day in Paris. Most people bought four. Irish bars are the best bet otherwise the French touts will be at the Stade and by then they will be desperate.
Lads I'm desperately looking for two tickets for the game as I was unsuccessful in the ticket ballot. jbyrne, do you know where else there available online from genuine Irish fans (non touts)?

How do these crowd have tickets? I wonder if they are Irish End or French End?
Maybe Mr. Wallace is a block booker? :p:DQuote:

can you blame cork city?Quote:

maybe derry city as well right enough.
That works on the assume that DCFC are organised enough to do something like this. Let me assure you, we aren't.Quote:

This is what went on with the tickets pre the bb scheme, and how touts ended up with wads of tickets, im actually surprised there are no objections here from prople who have been scrambling for tickets and may have been more than happy to buy from a LOI club knowing they club were getting the premium and not some travel agent.
It still is TOUTING no matter what way you dress it up.
god knows what Coughlan will do with the cash from it.
It's the 'preferential treatment for travel agents' approach again.....and be amazed if not Irish tickets.Quote:

Cork City have obviously shafted whoever normally takes their away ticket allocation, and sold them on to Wallace Travel.
And not in a discreet way either. I would be amazed if the FAI thought this was acceptable - i.e. making a profit on their allocation of tickets?Quote:

Terenure FC hope to raise €1500 approx by raffling 4 tickets, any views on this
I would prefer this to what CCFC have done, and wish them the best in selling the raffle tickets.
Have you asked them? And do you know what their allocation was?Quote:

Seems very straightforward were the tickets came from, Abbeytravel are the FAI official agents
So Official Travel Agents then.
Not Cork City then! ;)
For the people who got sucessful tickets for the away leg - has the payment gone through on my credit card? - I'm concerneded the FAI are giving me the run around about these tickets
yeah, I checked my credit card earlier, and the payment went through on the 4thQuote:

Any idea if there'll be a re-allocation of tickets that weren't taken up from the first allocation? Surely there were a fair few bookings cancelled due to overbooking and whatnot. The FAI have been pretty quiet on this.
Those who don't have tickets yet; are you gonna sit tight and hold out until you get to Paris or would you rather have a ticket, no matter what, before heading over? I'm thinking I'll probably hold out. The chances of getting a cheaper ticket over there might be greater, whereas you'd be charged through the roof for trying to get one via eBay or something at the minute. What do people think?
I know lots of people hvae spares floating around danny, so hold out and dont panic.
There will be no shortage of tickets in Paris ...people who applied for more than they needed are unlikely to return them for fear of screwing up future allocations and instead will bring them over and sell them in Paris. Most will only pass them on before they leavefor Paris if they actually know the person to reduce the risk of the ticket being touted.Quote:

That french student thing reminds me of a story, i always thought froggie students were always really crusty and tight and on this occassion in gothenburg it proved right! The dubliner gave out free food at the 6 nations game between italy and ireland i think, anyway im assuming they must have done it a bit as the froggies knew whta was going on, they bought 1 pint of guiness between 6 of them and waited patiently for the food to come out, which was a good hour, ate all hte food and fcuked off. Couldn't get over the cheek of them, and the women weren't even good looking!
You should have chased them out of the place with a pool cue.Quote:

Can someone post up what blocks we are in? Sorry if this was done allready.
anyone got any idea when the the tickets for the away leg are being posted out? i can't relax until i have them in my hands.
I beleive they were to be posted the end of last week begining of this week, from what they told me when I emailed them.
Im in England and if they aren't here by the end of the week Ill be sh1tting bricks as logistically its probably impossible to get them after that.
They did tell me they would DHL so the extra 2 euros etc isn't going ot cover that cost but i appreciate that they will DHL outside of ireland.
they wwre posted yesterday, the south should get them today, the north tomorrow, not sure about mainland Europe - they were obviuoslly concetrating on the home legQuote:
