Send a letter into the FAI Ticket Office, 80 Merrion Sqaure asking to be put on the waiting list. Not sure they are taking any new people on the list at the moment but it won't do any harm.
Can any tell me how I can I apply to get on the block booking waiting list?

They'll take any names they can to get Croker full.
you can email them as well at info@fai.ie

I wouldn't think they'd have any problems filling Croker for three competitive matchesOriginally Posted by eirebhoy

I reckon that the number on your letter is your unique blockbook registration number - perhaps you've now succeeded in getting 'through the gate'. Im a blockbooker and have a number and a barcode with all correspondence coming from the FAI. Any enquiries I have, I quote this number which helps sort out the query
If you are 'in' well done and enjoy the games. BUT dont forget to buy tickets for each and every match or your back out on the road again!!!

Thanks Pegan, I have sent an email to the FAI asking where I am on the block booking list and they have yet to reply. Will post here when i receive it as am certain we can then work out (using my numbers as an example) where people are on the waiting list.
Not sure i am through the gate but definately moving up the list a little and have bought the tickets for Sweden, think i might even be able to make it now.
I dont think they are taking any more people on the waiting list until they have sorted out what they are doing with allocations for the Croke Park games.

Anyone else on this? I'm down around the 900's.
Got a letter last week mentioning the list and offering me tickets to the sweden game.
This never happened before and its making me hopeful that they dusted off the folder with all of us and plan giving us block bookings for Croker next year.
any thoughts on the ticket distribution for croker?
Check out the block booking thread on the "Fans" forum.
As it happens I got the same letter for the first time. Interested to know how you know your position on the block booking list. I have emailed the FAI for my position but as yet got no reply
If you are on the BB list and dont buy tickets you are not necessarilly knocked off the BB wait list. I was on the list for the last few years. I missed out on geting tickets for one game (croatia or bulgaria cant remember which) with the FAI system. I got them through Tic Master. Not thinking it would effect my list postion. However it did and it knocked me back a few hundred. ...a few of the lads on here got on the BB list soon after and I was wondering why not me? So I sent an email asking why I didn't get on (it was actually those that didnt take their allocation for the Brazil game that were told to talk a walk) making room for others....and I was told it was because I missed out on that game. So the anwser is as others have said, buy tickets for all games...you might find a buyer on here (face value) so ye wont be out of pocket if ye cant go. I'm on the BB list now in the West Upper but I'd prefer to be in the North Terrace I reckon.....Anyone know how they will work out seating arrangments for croker?
I'm sick of this crap from the FAI, I was in 800's last time I chcked the waiting list. I've never received a letter from the FAI offering tickets for friendlies so I got on to them to see what the story was, all they did was keep insisting that they have been sending me letters. Its funny that the only letter I have recieved is the offer for the €7,000 tickets. Still no letter for Sweden game either.

I'm on the waiting list and got the same letter for the Sweden tickets. I emailed last week asking for my position on the waiting list and was told I'm 1020. My bar code number was about 14,500 I think. I'm on it about a year and a half now so looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer.
Griff that makes sense, I am number 1270 odd on the waiting list and my reference number is 14800 ish, so 270ish behind you on both number. You must be on longer that a year and half though, I am sure I am well over the two yeas now.
Yeah you could be right it could be longer than a year and a half I'm on it. Hopefully we'll get an offer for the tickets in Croker.
I got my letter on monday 30th Jan, post maked Friday 27th January...
Saying orders must be in by Friday 27th January....
Why am I not suprised!
Sent it off anyway with a note pointing out their error
Just as well you did. I received the letter offering the Brazil series of tickets four days after the deadline (sent out to me on the deadline day as well). Bought the tickets from Ticketmaster instead. Was never sent another offer of tickets after that until I bombarded them with emails pointing out it was their mistake. I had been taking tickets for every friendly before the Brazil game for three or four years. The Sweden match is the first match I have been offered tickets for since.I got my letter on monday 30th Jan, post maked Friday 27th January...
