    I'll be annoyed if there's only 25k or so at it and I had no option but to buy tickets in the corner of the nosebleeds in the upper East stand.
    You've got no fans.

    If they can get to 35k it will be a great crowd.

    I think it's a disgrace if the crowd isn't at least <some arbitrary number I pulled out of my ass> but it would be magnificent if the crowd were higher than <some other arbitrary number I pulled out of my ass>.

    More seriously, ticket master should be taken out and shot.

    I think we will all agree on that. Shocking that there have been so many hours since Friday when no tickets were available.

    What's happening? There have been random periods when no tickets were available?

    I did a random check this eve and could get 3 tx in the Upper west stand in the corner.

    Sometimes it was for hours at a time. Very few available on Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday was better but there was still times without tickets available. Earlier today there were periods without tickets available too. Tonight seems to be better. It looks like they have released another 4 or 5 blocks and they appear to be selling quite well. The upper tier is around to the west side block 522 right now.

    I make Legia 4/7 the danger is they might come to get a score draw, and then turn it on in the Army Stadium, but if that is not the plan then Legia -1 11/4 is the bet.

    Not trying to rain on Dundalk's parade, I have backed against our own mob when the price demanded it, and was glad to lose when we didn't and slightly consoled when we did.

    25000 disappointing?

    That's more or less the same as what will have passed through the turnstiles at the Markets Field by the end of the season.

    Now consider that First Division Champions League Cup Finalists 2016 Limerick FC are the classiest, most entertaining side to ever play the game in this country.

    A bit of perspective lads please.

    Yes disappointing because of Ticketmasters shenanigans. 24k sold by today....how many gave up because ticketmaster said there were no tickets available?

    Ticketmaster are a terrible terrible company I've seen it first hand.

    I genuinely don't think it will have much bearing on the crowd though.

    People know it's not sold out if they want to go they'll go

    Legia are clearly favourites. Your prediction mightn't be too wide of the mark but hopefully you are wrong.

    Steaua doing a nice job of what hopefully Dundalk can avoid - 5-0 down at home to Man City, and City have missed two penalties and hit the woodwork five times. Aguero has a hat-trick and missed from the spot both times.

    So as long as Dundalk do better than that, happy days!

    I was Charles Dickens in a previous life, I exchanged my talent in exchange to see Halham FC win the '67 Youdan Cup, we won, he took the talent, left me the long sentences, Cecilia Ahern has the talent now , her dad sold Ireland to get it, but at least nobody can now say my output was overrated compared to Thackeray, I can't even get a composition sung in the Showgs now.

    Other way around. BATE were halfway through their season. Legia are only a month in.

    I'm not sure that 24,000 figure it too believable as total tickets sold. There's also the North Stand to remember and the likelihood of a good sized Legia support there, likely to bump up the figure by another 2,000 or so, most likely not included in any tickets sold so far as reported at the press conference.

    The lower tiers are sold out, there's no doubt about that. In the upper tiers, the East Stand and South Stand are sold out. They're currently selling for Block 523 and 524 on Ticketmaster. Leaves only 5 blocks of seats in the upper tier.

    Of those seats, upper and lower tiers, there's 38,700 of them. If there's roughly 800 seats in each block on average of the five blocks left, that leaves something in the region of 4,000 tickets unsold of the 'standard' seating.

    There's also been €30 premium seats for sale, although I can't imagine much more than 500 of those sold.

    If there's not 30,000 tickets sold already in total, then there's something seriously wrong with the way Ticketmaster are going about their sales.

    Google only showed CL games for them, they had 3 league games prior to Tallaght according to soccerway , price now 2.16 on betfair, which I will take, Dundalk two draws with harharhar or wherever they were called, and Cork's exit to Ghent and your mobs performance this year is more representative than the BATE tie of the LOI, there is also the possibility that Dundalk freeze on the night, Legia won't be bothered, they have to go Lech Poznan every season so an Aviva of mostly bandwagons won't faze then, not saying there won't be a home result, just that Legia are to big in my opinion.

    Dundalk played Hafnarfjordour, and City played Genk.
