Some good news and hope for those on the waiting list.

**NeilMcD** · 19/04/2005, 1:44 PM

After two years on Fai Block Booking the waiting list, I got a ticket today offering me tickets for the remaining 3 home internationls and saying that I was now on the block booking list. I was delighted and did not expect this. Just thought I would share the news and to anybody who is interested getting tickets try to get on the waiting list and eventually you will get there if you keep attending every game

I sent a mail to the FAI just 2 weeks ago to see where I was on the waiting list. I'm number 879, down from well over 1000.

I got the same letter yesterday.

Only on the list for about 6 years!

If you don't take the tickets they offer you when you're on the waiting list, you lose your place on the list.

Congratulations Neil, just make sure you always take up your application to stay on the list even if you cant attend any game.

I've been to every home game under Brian Kerr's reign, the majority of tickets I've gotten from Ticketmaster or the FAI. Should I let them know this?

Would not do any harm but you would need all the ticket stubs to prove it, the most important thing is to take any tickets offered to you whilst on the waiting list. You should also know that guys ahead of you have been going for many years so it may be some time, hang in there though as the new stadium will help.

They'll know what tickets you bought from them (wouldn't think tickets bought from ticketmaster will make any difference to them), and if you keep buying from them for every game you will move up slowly but surely!

Just a matter of waiting 'til you move up enough to get onto the list proper. I could take a while though, I joined it in 1999.

My number is 116** just wondering what range the new ones being released are in? In other words they had over 11,600 at that point issued.

well done, I thought the waiting list had closed, perhaps they reopened it as a result of the new stadium

I think mine is 10*** but I don't know the full number off hand.

Thanks, its ok just wanted a general idea not the exact number. Maybe they have cleared out some block bookers and are re assigning them.

**Schumi** · 19/04/2005, 3:37 PM

They were looking to sell 10-year tickets a while back, maybe they didn't sell as well as they hoped (wouldn't be surprised going on the price

) as there's some spare capacity.

Those ten year tickets were a joke, I can't understand why anyone would buy them. I think they were �7500 each, what would be the incentive of buying one of them, considering they were initially only offering them to block-bookers and those on the waiting list.
