France (Away) Sat 9th Oct 04

If you read the french site tickets are sold through a number of outlets including the Virgin megastore, FNAC etc - both online and through stores.

It is how the French sell their tickets as they normally don't have huge demand - eg we could sell the game in Lansdowne 20-30 times over - they would struggle to sell out St. Denis without visiting fans.

This site appears to be legit and I would have no worries re pruchasing from them - you are fully covered if you pay by credit card anyway and don't get your tickets. I suspect they already have an allocation of tickets from the French Federation and just jumped the gun and put them on sale. The French are obviously trying to sell more Israel tickets first.

I think the french are going to get quite a shock when they see how fast their tickets are selling and to where. Even if they subsequently restrict tickets to French residents it won't be a problem.

Hopefully tickets will be on sale by the time we play the Swiss so fans can pop into Mulhouse and buy them over the counter.


where to buy France v Israel tickets (assume ours will be the same)

Dans le réseau Ticketnet (Auchan, E-Leclerc, Galeries Lafayette, Virgin).

Dans le réseau France-Billet (Fnac, Carrefour, Printemps, Géant ).

Dans le réseau PSG Billetterie.

CE – Collectivités : 01 55 93 01 49

Via Internet : www.fff.fr (version anglaise)

Par téléphone : 0 892 695 892 (0,34 euro / mn).

Prix des places : 20 – 30 – 45 – 55 - 65 Euros.

where abouts is the english version click for the french fed site??? :confused:

I don't think there is an English version of the FFF site.

I just mailed Mosaico World, and asked them if they could put my four tickets with three tickets (category 4) from a friend of mine .. and they said it would be no problem at all.

Perhaps, we could organise to group more of the tickets together , so that we have a mini-Irish section(s) ... "Ni neart go chuir le cheile", and all that

I've had a look on the mosaico site and can't see the Ireland game. Is there anywhere in particular I need to look ?

There's at least 4 of us heading out, and they do discounts for groups of 10 or more, so would be happy to hook-up with a few others to get them cheaper and split the delivery charge.

click on the english site version
click on Paris
click on sports
and scroll down through , you should come across the Irish game about 4 options down

actually just tried again myself , looks like they have taken the option away.

they may have more for sale over the next few days , keep on revisiting the site. This has happened already with them.

Best of Luck

I managed to book 4 (Cat 4) tickets today at around 15:00.

if there are no tickets available from the mosaico website does anybody know where else u mite be able to get tickets from.lookin for 4 tickets

thanks

loads of advice right back through this thread, and there's another one titled tickets for Paris , there's lots to read through but I'm sure it'll be helpful

Any know of any cheap flights still available?
Ryanair and Aer Lingus are pretty expensive now.

Hope this is useful.

Tickets are not going on sale for at least another week (possibly after the France Israel game).

The tickets being sold by Mosaic (amongst others) are sold BEFORE the tickets are allocated. Basically Mosaic sell them and send them out when they receive their allocation from the french FA. This should be ok but be warned , if everyone piles into Mosaic and buys tickets now there is a chance you will get a 'sorry we were oversubscribed and dont have them for you' email arriving (rather like the FAI).

If you want to order from the French FA there is a useful map showing the categorys and seating which is currently on the website for the France Israel match

http://www.ticketnet.fr/shop/fr/mani...&idtier=157039

Tickets are also sold from various shops in France. They are (and the definitions are not mine but a french friend)

Virgin - obvious
Auchan - (massive supermarket chain , like Tescos. It has a red and white bird as a symbol)
Leclerc - supermarket
Carrefour - has two triangles and a C as its sign
fnac - clothes store
priintemps - clothes store
Lafegette - clothes store

So if you know someone in france they will be able to pick them up from one of these shops and send them to you.

I am in Basel so hopefully if they are on sale we might be able to pop into France , find one of these shops and pick some up.

You can still buy them online from the French FA by going to their website and running through the normal procedure (logon , set up account , credit card etc) :)

The bit about ' I am in Basel' should have read ' I am in Basel for the swiss game' just in case anyone thought I was living there and was happy to take on any drunken stray looking for free bed and board !

Bloody great, the only day I'm not searching the french sites for tickets and they go on blody sale. Mosaic my arse!! Never heard of them. Been mailing ticketnet and francebillet for the last two months for a sniff of the action.
****e to the FAI, even though I'm on the waiting list, theres a fat fcuk all chance they'll be sending the golden tickets my way.

If Mosaic can deliver all the tickets promised the French fans are going to get a right land because we'll have 10,000 there.

Watch this site and you'll have plenty of opportunity to buy tickets i nthe French end - France v Israel still on sale is obviously apositive too and I can't see them selling that one out.

They will sellout our game but only after selling 30,000-40,000 to Irish fans.

Tracking the ticketnet, francebillet and stadefrance everday. So far not a fart from them. Same reply, they have no info, every time I email them.
Just emailed mosaic and they told me to register. Its only a matter of time before they all release their quota of tickets. All the irish crowd will snap them up. Poor french will be playing an away game, if this happens :D

I cant see anyone NOT getting tickets for this game. There are plenty of avenues to go through to get some tickets . 70,000 seats , 20,000 or more Irish , we will probably outnumber the french !

Remember there will be 8000 tickets at least given to those who applied through the FAI. That leaves a good 50,000 (after the French block bookers) for everyone to fight for. I cant see it being a problem.

Open the collar and let some off !

Its going to be like a home game out there ! Chambourcy Nouvelle Rodney !
