Feck that. The locals are really going to try and screw us in the black market by the looks of it. They must know we're all desperate for tickets.

If thats the prices they'll be looking for, i'll have to watch it in a bar. I cant afford that

**citizenerased** · 15/08/2007, 9:07 AM

thats an irish lad thats selling them under the guise of a local as he is also selling 2 tickets for the slovakia match..joke..

**Paraic** · 17/08/2007, 10:52 AM

Personally, I'd pay the price if I can afford it (supply and demand, living in a capitalist society etc.) I don't have any hang ups with anyone making a buck with tickets, not because I condone, approve, or like the situation (who would?) but there's no difference between that and playing the stock market or buying illegally imported beer.

I'm not going to begrudge someone selling a match ticket that I want, in order to pay for say an ipod that costs a months pay for them but a day's pay for me.That's capitalism, which in the general scheme of things - and spread over a lifetime - has been, mostly, good to the majority of us.

My problem is will you actually get the tickets? In Switzerland 2003 I thought I was safe with Euroticket (??). Lucky I also got a ticket for the Swiss end.

If �175 is the opening salvo, and it looks like the Czech's never sell out their games, prices should come down. Remember supply and demand does work both ways.

Lads I wouldn't be surprised if there is a fair few tickets knocking around on the day of the game. It's nearly always the same story when there is a scramble for tickets, they can't be got for love nor money, then as kick off approaches they start to appear. I'd say plenty of czechs would be turned by the sight of a 50 euro note and there will be a fair few of us in their end. But on the chance there is alot of us outside the stadium prior to kick off and with no ticket in the paw does anyone know the area around the stadium ie we can leg it to a nearby boozer to catch the game on the box? (i presume czech tv will be showing it?)

**zenokelly** · 20/08/2007, 9:53 PM

Lads, have the tickets been distributed for this match yet? If not when are they supposed to be?

If you look at his ebay membership he's registered in Holland. Could still be Irish I suppose.

A mate in Prague inquired from some of the loca lticket agencies. No joy!

Was told that "60% of tickets were sent to Ireland"

To the FAI ? They say they only got 10%

Come in, John Delaney, tell us what's going on

**stiofain** · 24/08/2007, 4:58 PM

60%? That surely cant be right?

60 tickets more like.

**bigball** · 27/08/2007, 1:44 PM

lads is the czech krouna widely used or is euro the best option. from memory i think either or will be ok. also are their ATM machines that will accept normal irish laser cards???

**NeilMcD** · 27/08/2007, 1:46 PM

Prague is like Dublin, in that there are as many ATMs over there, there are loads of currency change places and they will take the Euro but you will get ripped off by using it. I always bring a bit of local cash and bring a bank card and a credit card just in case. I would not bring a bundle of cash as if you lose it you have no comeback.

**Rebel11** · 27/08/2007, 1:53 PM

Just a warning lads this will be my 5th time in Prague its a class city but watch out for pickpockets and if you are buying anything out their check your change they are shocking at trying to ripp you off.

The FAI got 2,500 tickets.

The locals are waiting to fleece the Irish fans.

In reality we won't know until we get there. I reckon there will be laods of tickets around at inflated prices and the price will drop considerably as the game approaches.

So those with the biggest balls will be rewarded with the best price......Standard Pracice!

**Reddladd** · 27/08/2007, 4:18 PM

Could someone who already has a ticket for the Czech game post a picture here so that we know what they look like. Back and front would be helpful as I don't want to get done on the 'black market'.
Cheers.

**citizenerased** · 27/08/2007, 6:33 PM

Cheers.

And once it's posted, can someone with a colour printer and some ticket-size paper do the needful? Purely for reference purposes, of course...
