€20 is a fair price, lets hope we get somewhere decent for the away league now.

good decision by the club to keep the cost of tickets at reasonable prices

Limited ground capacity to increase demand for tickets

Accordingly the Management Committee has decided to release the tickets for sale on a phased basis; The first series of tickets will shortly be offered for sale to shareholders, season ticket holders, 400 club members and Johnny Chadda Fund Members.

The Chairman confirmed that the balance of the tickets will then be placed on sale to other supporters at the Derry City game on Friday 5th June. In the unlikely event of tickets being available after this date, they will be placed in the usual outlets around the town and county.

PRICES

Adult tickets will be €20

Students/OAP/Unwaged €15 (On presentation of ID at turnstile)

Children under 12 €5 (Must be accompanied by an adult)

For further information, contact the Showgrounds Office between 10.00am and 2.00pm at 071 9171212, or phone Frank Beirne at 086 1657515

Special jersey promotion

Jako Sports in association with Sligo Rovers are offering a very special deal to coincide with the Club’s return to European Football. Anyone presenting their Europa League Match ticket at Jako Sports will receive a 10% reduction off the price of a Rovers jersey.

I would hope that the club limit the number of tickets season ticket holders etc can buy to 2 per person.

Anything else (6 per person or unlimited per person) and I fear that any general release allocation may be wittled away to little or nothing.

I presume the club have something along limited number per person in place - or should I say I hope!!

Just on this, there is serious prize money from UEFA, which can be drawn down before hand from the FAI, to help pay for this. I think it was about 70k per round last year

Hi lads just wondering whats the story with the tickets? I seen on another thread 100 have been sold already. I know they are on sale for Season ticket holders at the minute and i have a season ticket so just wondering were did ye get yours so i can get my hand on a few.

**Red&White Rover** · 30/05/2009, 10:29 PM

Apparently a few people who aren't season ticket holders have got some already, as I've heard of 2 anyway...:s

Don't shoot the messenger...

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has announced that five referees will be used during the first ever Europa League campaign next season.

A principal referee will still be in charge, as well as two linesmen, but the big news is that Uefa and Fifa have decided to put two more officials behind each goal during the entire competition.

The addition of two officials will help the man in black to have two more eyes on each penalty area and will make his task easier.

This new measure is a test and could become general in the close future if it proves fruitful and improves the game.

“In agreement with Michel Platini and Uefa, we have decided that Uefa will test this new measure during the Europa League, not only during group stages but until the end [of the competition],” Blatter said.

Probably wont be in use for qualifying games but havent seen confirmation anywhere yet.

So the 4th official will now be the 6th official?

If the tickets stories are true it is amazing how the club manage to contradict themselves so quickly after a press release.

Have mine in the bag anyway and Credit card at the ready for the draw for the away leg lads!!
