Probably the best bet. Maybe email the ticket office with your ticket request just. That was the previous method.

Ok, I've done that. Told them I've been going on and off to away matches all over Europe for over 15 years (I always just "got sorted" for tickets on the day, but am sick of that method since it failed me in Gdansk

), and would now like to become a "known away supporter". Don't have any ticket stubs to prove it though, I'm not very nostalgic in that way...

I think the official allocation is 2k-2.5k for this game and I think we will struggle to get 2k there. So a perfect opportunity to get yerself on the 'known' away travellers. Dont think you will have any problems getting sorted directly from the FAI

**brine3** · 18/01/2013, 10:45 AM

Yup, FAI have now put me down in their system as a known away supporter and I have filed my ticket application on the away portal.

Thanks for the tips, looking forward to the match!

Does anybody know where about in the stadium the Irish fans will be situated?

I tried to have a quick look by going through the process of purchasing some tickets via the Swedish eticket service and then by seeing if any sections were not available to purchase, you could probably work it out by default - However there are a million and one sections that you can buy for, so it wasnt that straight forward!!!!!

You can still apply to the FAI for tickets for this one, if you are wanting to get in with the Ireland Fans, there will be no problem getting tickets (see above posts).

Thanks Junior but my mate in Sweden was asking because his Swedish girlfriends dad wants to go and he wants to know where the Irish fans will be because he wanted to get a ticket near that area. I'll be applying for my tickets through the FAI as usual for this one. Will be there from Thursday till Sunday so can't wait.

**AidoP** · 24/01/2013, 5:43 AM

Actually my mate found out that we are in sections 122-124 so we're in the corner of the stadium.

This is some info I got from our hotel.

The best ways to come here from the airport is either:

By bus, http://www.flygbussarna.se/en you can book online and I believe It’s cheaper to book both ways at the same time.

By train, http://www.arlandaexpress.com/default.aspx?page=3&= Same deal here.

By taxi, the cheapest one I know of is http://www.airportcab.se/index.php?o...idan&Itemid=19 The price from arlanda is 475 SEK. (55€-60€).

So if you've got 3 or 4 to share a taxi 20 euro each way pp is just the job!

I would like to share a taxi as its about 5 I land I think.

I think the return fare is twice the single fare.

The best deal for the express train is the 2 adults travelling together for the price of one ticket, Thurs - Sat

Bloody hell, that Arlanda train isn't cheap. I booked a train from Malmo to Stockhom for 290 SEK. That's 600 km!

Tip for when you are in Stockholm, you can get a metro travel card for the Stockholm region. I think it costs 100 SEK per 24 hours. You can buy them in the Pressbyran newsagents which are in nearly all stations.

There's a commuter train from the airport (Arlanda) in addition to the express train. The commuter train is about €14/15.

The stadium is between the airport and the city center. AFAIK if you take the train, you'll need to travel to the city center first and get a second train back out to the stadium. If you get the aircoach, it's about a 30 min walk from the nearest aircoach stop to the stadium. Note the aircoach doesn't take cash so either book online or have your card at the ready.

Does anybody know when we'll get confirmation about whether we got tickets for this game or not?

**Junior** · 27/02/2013, 10:47 AM

Not sure, deadline to apply was on 22nd Feb. Im sure the FAI will need a couple of weeks to get their ar$es in to gear. If you applied, you'll get one. No way this game is going to be oversubscribed.
