Tickets for these games are on sale on an individual basis through ticket master .... looks like tickets in the east terrace only 25 yoyo's each

Yeah I bought four for the Portugal game, can't be arsed waiting for the FAI to write to me. I joined that bloody fan club thing a few weeks ago, they took the money alright but nothing in the post, not even the confirmation email they said they would send. What a joke.

Only problem with that is that you will more than likely find yourself off the waiting list if you don't buy the tickets from them when they write out.

supposidly on the waiting list but never recieved any offer for match tickets

**Dotsy** · 12/11/2004, 8:25 AM

I sent an email to FAI ticket office asking if poeple on the waiting list would get offered tickets. Got a reply saying that people who had previoulsy been offered tickets would and that the offers had been posted out late last week or early this week and should have been received by Tuesday. I didn't receive anything despite having my place on the waiting list confirmed a month ago. These guys really are a joke. Time to get some professionals running this organisiation.

If you are only on the waiting list a month, that is probably why they didn't offer you tickets. There are over 1000 people on the waiting list at last count, and they probably only offered tickets to people that have been on it for a while??

I have been on the waiting list for 8 years (somewhere about no. 50 at last count). I asked the FAI to confirm that I was still on the list because the last offer of tickets I received was for the Brazil series of games and I didn't receive the offer for the Cyprus/Bulgaria/Faroes games. When I contacted them about that they said it was a mistake and I should have got an offer of tickets. Did they rectify the mistake this time around - did they fcuk. As I said a shower of incompetents. If I ran my business like they do theirs I'd be bankrupt within a month. Lucky for them the government has bailed them out in the past. Looks like that might be coming to an end pretty soon. If that is what it takes to get rid of the gobshiites in there (hello mr. delaney and mr corcoran) then so be it.

Got my form on Monday, had to be into them by Wednesday! Got my tickets this morning.

I still haven't got my tickets and I'm a block booker. After a couple of days ringing them they finally rang me back today and said they posted them out last Friday. Talk about cutting it fine.

**cullenswood** · 16/11/2004, 7:58 AM

Anyone else not get their tickets yet? Mine haven't arrived yet. I presume the FAI will have a Plan B when I call them!!

If you still haven't got your tickets, give the FAI a call, they'll send you a fax which will allow you to get into the ground (before 18:30) and you'll be issued a duplicate ticket and escorted to your seats.

Phoned them up, left a message (I don't think the ticket office in there ever answers their phone, and they screen all the calls through their answering machine?) and they got back to me saying there would be two tickets in Merrion Square waiting for me. Happy days, bring on the red cards!

**4tothefloor** · 19/11/2004, 8:08 PM

I had to collect the tickets that I get from the waiting list from Merrion Square on Tuesday. They didn't post the originals out on time so they had to make duplicates. By the time I got them, I didn't have enough time to sell them on, so ended up losing out on 40E (already had stand tickets). Yer man in the FAI had a bundle of envelopes so it happened to alot of people. The FAI are a complete joke. The ticket office is a perfect example of badly the whole operation is run. Ringing the office is a complete waste of time, as they won't answer the phones. Thus, you can't get an instant\quick response to a query. Instead you have to wait 3 - 4 hours, sometimes days, for a response, that's if you are lucky enough to get one!

Is it no wonder Fran Rooney's door was always closed? The staff probably drove him up the wall
