I imagine they do this to sell in blocks so they can group people together, but its annoying and it might make people who would otherwise have bought tickets not go.

Or it's sold out! It's not really like the Legia game in that regard. But we'll see.

I.was.talkimg to get Dundalk ticket office last week and they went on sale at Oriel first on Thursday and then the rest went to Ticketmaster.

I'll at least have the Alkmaar game I suppose.

Ah well at least its sold out. When SDCC build that new stand maybe we won't have these issues. I would have bought before but wasn't sure if I'd be over.

Was too late getting to Ticketmaster to get a ticket for Thursday.

If anyone has any spare tickets for sale pls PM me. I can buy em off you outside the ground on Thur...

I'm not a bandwagoner for what it's worth. Living in Dublin but always try to see Dundalk when they're playing in (or near) Dublin. Was in Tallaght on Fri for the Rovers game for eg. Was also in Bray a month or 2 ago to see the 1-2 defeat. Was at the home matches against BATE (twice), Legia, Maccabi, Hajduk split as well as the Cup Final last year and numerous domestic matches in Dublin.

A Meath man should have eyes only for the Drogs.

Ha ha, well depending on what part of the county you're in, your nearest LOI club could be Drogheda, Dundalk, Bohs or even Longford. There's also a big Ashbourne flag in the east stand at Tallaght at every Rovers game. And i know a chap from Dunshaughlin who follows Shels. To say we're a "mixed bag" would be putting it lightly

I'd say they were near gone as it was Paul on Friday. I'd say buzz to Tallaght anyway. I'm sure the locals would love to have ya over.

As a Dub there's many ways I could put ye.

I never thought I would see the day that someone would be on foot.ie trying to sell their non-bandwagoning status. What a time to be alive.

I dont think ill bother driving all the way down on a whim as much as i know the locals will love having me

I wonder why this one has a much bigger draw. Zenit are hardly hugely popular in dublin regardless of how Dundalk have done thus far.

Why do you think it's Zenit that are the draw?

Perhaps it's because they won the last game and are on the verge of a league title and people want to see Dundalk.

**Charlie Darwin** · 18/10/2016, 7:45 PM

Well probably also because Zenit are a much bigger club and will have their own fans in the "home" stands.

Dundalk will be doing well to get another point. Bohemians, Shelbourne and Derry didn't have the luxury of playing unseeded teams like Tel Aviv.

**sparky12345678** · 18/10/2016, 8:10 PM

Before the group stage started i think we'd have been happy with a 4 point haul... given what we've seen, being optimistic and hopeful, there is clearly potential there.

(not sure what you mean by Tel Aviv being unseeded...Maccabi were seeded in all rounds until the group stages...in the champions league rounds this year they would have been seeded in the 2QR and only just missing out on being seeded in that third round, but last year they were seeded in the 2QR, and beat the seeded team Basel in the play off round to qualify for the Champions League).

Well of course they would be doing well to get another point, they're the lowest ranked team in the competition, by a considerable distance.

When Bohemians, Shelbourne and Derry were in the First Round proper of the UEFA Cup, they were unseeded. If the current Europa League group stage had been a knockout draw of old, both Tel Aviv and Dundalk would have been unseeded.

Would BATE also have been unseeded?
