Czech Republic Away (12th September 2007) - Match Thread

**Collyontour** · 27/08/2007, 9:26 PM

The prices on the net are ridiculous. I haven't seen many for sale but they seem to start at €170. I know a lot of people are going to try and pick tickets up over there, including myself but with a stadium that only holds 19,000 I'm a bit worried that the touts will have a field day.

Maybe there should be a general concensus that people should pay a maximum of say €100 for a ticket.
If word could be spread around and fans stick to this then maybe fans would pick up tickets. When approached by a tout offer him €100 and no more!
I know it's hardly gonna happen but if people stuck to their guns then the touts would have no choice!
Alot of supporters will head back home after the Slovak game so I can't see any more than 4000-4500 fans there and there are already 2500 tickets. If they couldn't fill the stadium for the German game then surely there will be plenty of tickets floating around.
It will certainly be worth risking going up to the ground before kick off and waiting until the last minute to get a ticket.
Hopefully someone will post a pic of a ticket so it can be compared when buying a ticket.

Lads, what section behind the goal are the Irish fans going to be situated? If anyone has a ticket and could check I'd appreciate it.

I'm in H87 and a mate of mine is in D92 so that corner seems to be where the Irish fans will be.

Cheers for that Paulie!

I read something in the Independent a couple of weeks ago that there is going to be a big screen set up somewhere in Prague that will show the Ireland game. Im not sure how true this is but it could be of interest especially if we dont get tickets for the game.

All posts touting tickets removed.

Some of you might want to get tickets that way, but don't do it through here

**NeilMcD** · 30/08/2007, 9:39 AM

Dodge is there anyway the reason for my deletion could be changed as it looks like I was touting also. I know its a small thing but dont want to have a reputation for touting.

How much are you all willing to pay for tickets off the locals? A Slovak guy is sorting me out with 3 tickets at €70 each when I get over to Slovakia. We haven't got much choice tbh and I'd have paid more.

**citizenerased** · 31/08/2007, 2:41 PM

Lads, I just got two tickets for the Czech game. I was about to buy two at inflated prices of a guy in Dublin but decided to try travel agents just in case. Sure enough on travel agent had a couple of package deals unsold and sold me two tickets at €65 each. They are in the Irish end. Might be worth a try lads.

**Armando** · 03/09/2007, 12:13 PM

€65 each...so it's official travel agents really are glorified touts!

**BradyIsMyHero** · 03/09/2007, 2:02 PM

And FAI said they couldnt give tickets to block bookers because they had to give them to their official travel agents...
