Israel Tickets thread

[jimbob117]

2. you can see that i am not gaining from this almost anything.
3.

If you have 8 spare tickets, and increasing the price by 30e, i figure you may be gaining from it. And asking is it against the law is just silly.

[Poor Student]

now that i've read your post, i guess that i should forget about the whole idea. i'm not saying this "against" you as a "punishment" or something like that. it's just i thought that it wouldn't be a big affort for me, and people here would aprreciate it. the extra pay is just because that if i'll deal with it, it will take my time during this week and more importantly during the very little time i have on my weekend trip (cordinations etc.) so i think it is only fair (i won't get rich from this thing if this was what you thought...)

I fail to see how if you told someone to be at your hotel in the morning and you exhanged the tickets and money it would take more than a minute. Do you honestly believe you deserve 30 Euro for this small matter? How does one individual come to get their hands on 8 tickets anyway?

This is strange as on another forum an Isreali offered a ticket to users then put it on an auction site where it sold for €122 (approx).

The Israeli FA did not sell any tickets but sent them to an outside agency who charged €45 for a €30 North Terrace Ticket - (there was a €15 handling charge), so I assume these tickets are lower west priced at €50/€60) face and changed €65/€75) so a nice little profit.

If this seller is seeking €115 on what he claims he spent €85 and he has 8 available he stands to profit €240. Now an envelope from Israel next day delivey costs no more than €35, so that knocks his FedEx claim.

Finally The Israeli FA will not accept tickets back as they didn't sell them. I was in contact with the agency trying to source tickets for some ppl here who were seeking them but to no avial.

The person i spoke to told me they sold lots of tickets but didn't expect the number of ppl travelling to match the sales. He indicated that I would easily find Isreali's offloading tickets above face value as it was perceived as very expensive for them to travel to Ireland for the game.

He also told me that most of those buying tickets were members of the IDF who are paid very little during their time in the military and many would see this opportunity of making money to pay for their trips.


I expect ppl will be able to source tickets at face value early next week from more reliable sources

the only thing that i don't know/i worry about, is that i don't know the law in ireland, i don't want to get in trouble or something like that for selling these tickets (even they are not overpriced...), and i am realy doing this just because i saw here that people really want tickets for the game. is this against the law? i only have few tickets. do you think i am doing something asgaint the law over there? if there is a little chance that i am, please tell me because i don't mind helping people but i don't want to break the law or something.

If you have the tickets in your hand you will note that their re-sale above face value is not permitted and if you think you are doing a service, think again. Real football fans don't scalp other fans - EVER

[Poor Student]

Please do not make yourself out to be noble if you are charging almost double face value.

sorry yeah touts !!!!!!!!!!

[eirebhoy]

I very much doubt you can get a refund on the tickets. Sell them for how much you paid for them and make your money back.

[FarBeag]

Jesus man..You would want to be sitting in the dug-out with Brian and the boys with the price of them tickets.

Don't confuse political correctness with ignorance.

And you can say whatever you like, but it's advisable to engage your brain before letting the words out.

I'd love to get tickets for one of the home games, but it seens impossible these days. Its very unfair the way they block book the tickets.

Specifically what is unfair about it?

[onenilgameover]

I'm in a draw for tickets for the match in work. Don't need them so if I get em They'ill go to someone on here...

[onenilgameover]

Anyone thinkin of resorting to giving money to these fools...please hold off.... It looks like tickets will become availiable on here at face value if ye just hold on....Also it may not be a bad idea to ring the FAI tomorow. I heard that they might have a few arriving to back them that will go on sale.
