Anyone order from Mosaicworld?
They have taken the money from my card but haven't arrived yet.
Just says "booked" whenever I log into their site.
Might drop them a mail in the afternoon but was just wonderng if anyonelse has hear anything.
Heard that people booking through ticketnet have got their tickets...is that right?

A return ticket from Reading to Nottingham cost me over �130 and that's travelling within a single country. You're going from one to another and back.

No and you have to be over 23 or something, even with a full license.

Or get a local bus the 10 miles from Charleroi to Mons and then the Coach Mons - Paris, 2 and half hrs, 34,00 Euros (http://www.eurolines.fr/index.html)

Yeah I booked with Mosiaco and they have charged my card but no tickets yet. I do remember hearing something about Mosiaco and Sept 15th on other threads. Let us know how you get on with them today.

eircom League fans don't normally have the Package "Holiday" option for football trips so we're experts when it comes to boxing off stuff like this.
Have to say though, Paris is only second to London for accessability from Ireland. This trip is childsplay!
Hope that's reason enough for everyone to go and get there safely and on time.

Mosaic said that they are getting their tickets directly from the French FA, and this is why we have to wait till 15th Sept. Not too long away now lads!

we're all Donegal men bar 1 so a few Harps supporters amongst the motley crew, I�m living in Dublin for the past 6 years so don't get to many games anymore unless they're playing down here. Looking good to finally get back up this year.

**Peadar** · 13/09/2004, 2:26 PM

I'm on BA 1802 from Birmingham at 8:40AM, Saturday. Arriving in France at 11:05AM

Think it's fair to say that barring the tickets that maybe were sold to the French 'Ultras' (don't know if there's such a thing in France), there'll be Irish fans in almost every section of th stadium so you'll never be far from a friendly voice!! :-)

**dublinbhoy** · 13/09/2004, 9:34 PM

yeah i hope so, we were in holland for the amsterdam friendly ( U won't believe this but were got our tickets from brian kerr & chris houghton at the hilton hotel & we ended sitting in the v.i.p section with westlife.) best weekend of my life ( except from when i was at slane when we beat the dutch! ****e we should play them more often!!!
