are you looking for a liverpool barca ticket, or have one?
No that makes balls all sense and we all have thought about it. An area fills up so someone high on a waiting list gets shafted. What kind of sensible system is that. People are calling it a lottery list instead of a waiting list but even with that if you came up in the lottory for a pair of CL / WC final tickets but the area you choose is full you wouldn't be throw in the bin and onto the next application. Thats for a random lottery not even for people being process first come first served.Quote:

They could allocate them to any stand they wished, even the fecking Hill might've held us all if most were single requests. Give the BBs a choice of seats and option of extras, since they're the incumbants, except for the WL "section". WL are happy getting all they ever had asked/hoped for anyway, BB are happy as should get their extras and FAI can sell remaining seats to WLers or general sale. It doesn't really matter as whoever "deserved" their tickets would've got them and it'd sell out anyway. In terms of admin they never have to ask WL where they want seats or how many they want and process the responses. They just say here's the seats you originally requested, take it or leave it.
Looking for one. Willing to swap Wales or Slovakia ticket for one? You got one to swap?Quote:

I think when you see the total invoiced when multiply tickets price by number requested by matches it does look quite big and then think its only halfway through the 4 matches that some people would've been too strapped or got nobbled by their wife/gf or got the letter so late they presumed they missed the deadline or are on holidays (as with a mate of mine). Some should come back, its not as solid as the BB list.Quote:

Also will they still allocate the extras requested probably denying people further down the list. Potentially somebody could still get 10 tickets !!! The mind boggles but there's nothing to indicate they'll change their "system"
Istabraq I would let them know you'll take anything if your original request was 50e, singles or whatever. I presuming they won't deny an existing request just because the requested seats couldn't be grouped.
Sorry you're right the lower club level allocations threw me off.Quote:

Good luck to all those fans who got tickets for Croke hope it is a great game and a great performance and we start the Croke campaign with a win, the deed has been done i have missed out (tough sh1t for me).
Any where you apply for tickets the maximum is usually 4 tickets per transaction, so why the **** are people getting 10???.
Although, there lucky to sell ticket at all after last weks debacle!!!
WexDec, im not saying it makes sense, i mean does it make sense what i was saying? I can see why they did it if they have to sort through 1000's of applications. they dont want to have to go through everyone over and over.....from a time point of view i can see where htey are coming from, BUT I DO NOT AGREE WITH IT!
RafaB, what are ye like....you would give up a ticket for an ireland match for liverfluke?
hmmm me thinks you are using a SPARE ticket you have as barter for a liverpool match.....if not you are giving up yer own one, which is even worse again. Do you really think if either of those fit the case, that you should be saying it on this thread which could be aptly renamed "those on the waiting list that didnt get their tickets"....
WexDec there was no facility on the application to indicate that you would take any other ticket, be it cheaper or more expensive, which is another flaw about the system. When I applied for the lottery for the world cup (which I won, yet more heartbreak) there was a section to tick indicationg that basically if the tickets you were looking for were not available, would you take any ticket. To which obviously i ticked yes. Simple, yet it seems beyond the retards in merrion sq.
Im with you antrimgreen, the more i go on the more ****ed off i get. However, Im failry confident of being at the game, but that doesnt make matters any better. I should have been offered at least 2 tickets of my own. Which would have been my own for the next 3 years at least.
lads the thing is though, we all know that they are like, I have been badgering and emailing them since my mother threw my original request back in xmas in the fire. I live in london, i kept emailing and ringing when required. IF I could keep badgering them over here, when my letters get sent to my home address in ireland, ye could have done the same and not ended up in this predicament, emailed something small and said if ye get my applicatoin and there isn't anything i want, ill take next best available!

Well lads as I mentioned earlier I've been really ****ed off by the way the FAI have dealt with this so I emailed Matt Cooper earlier and pretty much put down most of the points and grievances raised here. I focused on the touting element of things and the shambles the FAI has created by the way they allocated tickets to those on the waiting list.
I got an email back asking for my contact details and that they had an interest in raising the matter at some stage in the next week or so. I'll keep ye updated if something comes of it.
i was around the 1100 mark and no matter how many times I asked the FAI to offer me friendly tickets they never did. I still went to every single one however.Quote:

No you didn't say it was illegal but you'd think i was doing something wrong. Checked the rules before i posted put it on and the mods seemed happy as they added it to the list of spares.
if its a spare why not just give the ticket to someone here at the price you paid for it?

I know thats my point. I've argued that exactly previously and was the reason why my lot went for 70 euro tickets in the first place. That and a 2-4 ticket per application limit as it standard would've avoided this mess. I won in the Portugal Euros lotto, what a Summer holiday that would've been at a fraction of Japan cost, oh well......and 4 follow your team tickets it was not 10 !!!Quote:

Same here and myself and a mate are both on 1900s mark but a fella before on ~1700s said he was offered them and that they stopped at some stage so we estimated it was at the 1800 mark and this was backed up by someone else. No seconding guessing the FAI though !Quote:

We should've known better than to hope for us to qualify for tournaments in Portugal and Germany.......that would be too fecking handy !Quote:

When I was on the waiting list, I was offered tickets to Albania & Georgia in whatever qualifying series that was.Quote:

I like the rest of the block booking waiting listers received a letter asking how many tickets i wanted but that i may not get all of them, I didn't think I'd get none but even if they had sent me a letter saying I wasunsuccessful I could have tried to get them through the club.
How many did you ask for, what number were you on the waiting list and what section did you ask for? Just wondering!Quote:

Anyone who hasn't received a letter should get confirmation one way or another next week.
Biggest advice I could give anybody regarding the FAI is to contact them as often as you can rather than wait in limbo. They are not always the best communicating with people or should I say being pro-active in their communication with people. Therefore ring them up as much as you can rather than worry at home or give out in the pub.
cash debited form my card , a big ker-ching for the FAI this morning !!

Has anyone on the WL who didnt receive an allocation of tickets hear anything from the FAI regarding returns? Rang them this morning, werent much help-just said that they would contact me if any tickets are not taken up. They dont know if or how many have been returned as of yet.

Wales or Slovakia for a barca ticket, j.c. thats priceless.
PS: How many group games did you actually attend? 2, 1 (or none:) )????
I had applied for 2 tickets and had received no response, until yesterday when I received an e-mail informing me that they were now in a position to offer me 2 upper Davin.
Happy days.
