Shams away - Tickets

**akearins** · 02/03/2009, 2:10 PM

Heard there will be an allocation of 150 (5% ground capacity) tickets for the Shams game

**celticV3** · 02/03/2009, 2:13 PM

Any idea how the tickets are going to be distributed among the rovers fans? Hopefully the event junkies won't get their hands on any.

**Red&White Rover** · 02/03/2009, 2:21 PM

Gonna be awful hard to get some I'd say.

**akearins** · 02/03/2009, 2:22 PM

No idea.Personally i would love to get one but would like to see the lads who travelled all over the country last season get them first.

If up to me I'd set aside 50 for Forza, they will bring colour and noise to the game, which will be televised, and with all their flags 50 would look more like 100.It would be good promotion for the club if they were there.

After that simply a lottery, get in line and put your name down at Saturdays game.Its the fairest way.You have to go to the showgrounds to be in with a chance for a ticket.
Draw them out at the game, announce winners and call to office after to confirm.

If seen to be unfair with the distribution of tickets it may have longer consequences on the season for us.If fans think they were not given a fair chance.....well you can guess the rest.

be seen to be fair and it will onlky benefit the club.....

Thats my tuoence worth anyway

Alan, where did you hear this was the way? Nothing on official site.

his opinion

**dong** · 02/03/2009, 7:31 PM

Agree with Alan about forza. Important to get as many of them in as possible.
A lot of people are going to be disappointed. I'm going to try to get my hands on a couple up here in case no luck in the draw at the weekend.

Im a Season Ticket holder for a no. of years
A 400 Club member and was at the last match in Glenmalure
i'd love to get a ticket.

But i wouldnt feel comfortable taking a ticket ahead of the Forza lads who travel to every game
i'd be happy to take my chances in a lottery

**Sean South** · 02/03/2009, 8:37 PM

I'd give my right nut to be at this game

Around how many tickets will Rovers get

**the rock n roll** · 02/03/2009, 8:44 PM

I am hoping to go the match

**Rory H** · 02/03/2009, 9:06 PM

The game is in Tallaght. You may well give your right nut AT the game.

**Rory H** · 02/03/2009, 9:33 PM

I'll give you my ticket for a left nut, i sold mine last summer to raise funds for the club during the 'crisis'.

**Guts&Glory** · 02/03/2009, 9:43 PM

An open draw is fair to everyone interested in going but it will be interesting to see what the club do with the tickets.

The last thing you want is tickets going to the two matches a season brigade like the cup game and Bray at home last season.

Again it is up to the club to do the right thing..........

**Rovers1** · 02/03/2009, 9:46 PM

to be honest, at the end of the day, the season ticket holders should get priority no matter what. I just hope to god the club dont give them to the suits and their friends. Would be disgusting if we went to Tallaght with no proper support.

**MMVIII** · 02/03/2009, 9:52 PM

Gonna be a lot of unhappy faces here, no matter what way the ticket allocations are done. I'm just hoping and praying I can get a ticket.
