Latest news :
The French tickets are going on sale tomorrow at midday.
No tickets will be available via the Internet or by telephone.
4 per person - ID needed to buy them to prevent one person buying more than 4 tickets.
Damn it...
What?!? A football association turning down a change to make a fast buck? It'll never catch on...
A potentially risky move on the part of the FFF. How many French fans are going to be at the Stade de France after a 2-0 first-leg defeat?![]()
If one was to get a quick flight over and back... buy four!
Roddy Collins, the biggest <insert as appropiate> in Irish Football.
This morning's Irish times suggest they can be bought on the french federations website at 11am, or reserved by phone??
Not to be contrary, but presuming the French FA will only sell their tickets to those they think are French, which would not be easy to circumvent, based on those forms of ID?
Know there are at least 2 Paris-based posters, but that's only 8 tickets, unless they have a lot of friends....
No. The id system is just to prevent the same person, Irish or French, from buying more than 4 tickets. Anything else would be against the law
> This morning's Irish times suggest they can be bought on the french federations website at 11am, or reserved by phone??
No. Only for Agencies, supporter clubs and corporate entities.
Cheers, for clarifying PE.
So Irish punters can buy in France.....good.
I suppose some know others that between now and then will be heading over to Paris. There are FNAC ticket offices all over the city so they shouldn't be a problem to get but dreams of 20,000 in the stadium may have been kicked in the teeth.
To be honest though as it's a midweek match, in November, I wasn't expecting all that many anyhow.
Latest reports on the Irish Times website suggesting there will now be no tickets sold online:
In a clear bid to avoid tickets falling into Irish hands, the French FA (FFF) have decided not to sell seats for the forthcoming World Cup qualifier on the internet or over the telephone.
Tickets for the Republic of Ireland's meeting with France in Paris go on sale at 11am this morning (12pm French time) but will only be available for fans to buy in person at designated outlets across France.
It had been thought that seats would be available to purchase online – as had been the case throughout France’s qualifying campaign.
However, having seen Irish fans invade the Stade de France the last time the sides met in Paris the FFF have decided to close down that route of access for Irish supporters.

Ive a froggie mate, who ive asked to get 4 when he is over next week, i dont care about buying extra tickets to be honest, im pretty sure ill get rid of them as a i know a few people looking for tickets thta dont have any other contacts to get tickets so i can always give them to them
Just wondering though, how long does it take for tickets to be snapped up? I know people were saying they dont normally sell out but do tickets generally sell quickly if ye know what i mean?
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker

Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
