Any ideas when tickets are on sale for this game? can't find any info on line

**Junior** · 21/07/2004, 12:43 PM

Sold as part of the Block Booking Scheme, If you're not a BB'er not sure that theree will be a general sale.

**cullenswood** · 21/07/2004, 12:53 PM

Has anyone that is on the block booking waiting list heard anything from the FAI about getting tickets for this game?

I haven't heard anything. They sent me out a letter before the Brazil game asking if I wanted to buy two sets of tickets. I've heard nothing this time though.

Got a letter of offer about 3 weeks ago, had to be in by the 14th. They are selling the Croatia/Cyprus and Faroe games I think as part of a 3 game offer.

Yeah, they're on sale now on www.ticketmaster.ie

Nice bit of advertising by the FAI

any word on an EL allocation yet or should I just buy from the website???

**cullenswood** · 27/07/2004, 9:32 AM

I'm on the block booking waiting list and I got a letter yesterday offering me two tickets to the Bulgaria game, and to the Cyprus and Faroe Island qualifiers.

I've already gone and bought my tickets for the Bulgaria game! Anyone looking for two North terrace tickets for this game, 20 squids each.

**aidz1** · 27/07/2004, 1:29 PM

well done. it looks like youve left the waiting list and will now be a regular block booker.
as a matter of interest, when did you join the waiting list for bb??

**oconghc2** · 27/07/2004, 6:40 PM

i got the same letter. been on waiting list since 2001 i reckon.

Theyve offerd tkts to people on waiting list for cyprus and faroes because these countries couldn't take up their full allocation.

cant imagine being offered one for france home game!! worth putting name on waiting list all the same.

**cullenswood** · 28/07/2004, 7:48 AM

Yeah, they pointed out that I am still on the waiting list but they could offer me tickets for these two games. Put my name on the list last year or the year before.

I reckon if the French send back about 700 tickets we'll be in with a chance!! Unlikely they will though.

Sure they will be out of the running at that stage so they will be bringing no one over with them.

**Schumi** · 28/07/2004, 1:41 PM

I got that letter too, been on the waiting list 3 or 4 years I think. I think they only got on to people who took tickets for the last three games so the waiting list might have thinned out a bit.

**aidz1** · 05/08/2004, 8:51 AM

on the waiting list for 3 years or so
didnt take the tickets on offer for the brazil games as was out of country at time
havent been posted anything about cyprus/faroe games from fai
you reckon im kicked off the waiting list then and will have to re-apply?

wtf

**NeilMcD** · 05/08/2004, 9:31 AM

Get on to the Fai as soon as you can. they are offering tickets to people who are on the waiting list and who took up the offer for the 3 home friendlies in the spring. However I rang them and said i was never offered them and they sent me out an offer for the next 3 games at home which i have applied for and should get ticket for the nect 3 home game. It is always worth ringing up every so often. Basicallly the time it takes to put up a post here it would take to ring the fai or post up an e mail.

**aidz1** · 05/08/2004, 10:17 AM

cheers for that neil
not good news though
just off the phone to fai there. said i wouldnt be offered the tickets as i didnt take the brazil/czech option earlier in the year.

tried to blagg saying i didnt recieve tem etc. etc. but to no avail.
she said im still on the list however, but if i cant even be offered tickets to go see ireland take on the world beaters of cyprus and faroe islands, what fooking chance will i have with any other games

looks like another saturday afternoon of homing around d4 seeking tickets come first saturday in septmeber!

**NeilMcD** · 05/08/2004, 10:40 AM

Well see i was not offered the 3 match deal due to admin error and they could check that on their system, they probably had it down on the system that you were offered the ticket and never replied and i woudl say you are now down the bottom of teh list as they would argue that you were offered and you did not take up the offer.
