I mailed them a few weeks ago and they were very quick coming back with confirmation of a reservation for 5 of us.

Supposedly its only about 15 mins walk outside the city and, best of all, it works out at only €10 a night

So out of the 53,000 capacity how many tickets were "officially released" for Irish fans? And how many tickets were "unofficially obtained" by Irish fans?

Away supporters are entitled to 10% of the capacity of the ground so going on a capacity of 53,000 the FAI would have received 5,300 tickets from the DFB. It's much more difficult however to estimate how many Irish will be actually at the game. I'd say though that estimates of about 15,000 - 20,000 travelling would be about right with the majority of those managing to get tickets. Irish fans tend to very good at getting tickets for matches when there appear to be none.

Still searching for tickets. Got in early with cheap flights back in Feb but was on holiday when the eventim.de leak came out. Knocked back from FAI as well. Havent given up hope yet, any one know what the touts are likely to be charging?

Have the Germans any plans to replicate the fanzone areas like they had at the world cup?

A bloke I know paid �150 per ticket for 4 tickets from an internet tout over the weekend. These were eventim tickets and were �50 (approx) face value.

Sligoproud there is a rule/convention here on foot.ie and on other irish football websites that tickets may only be offered at face value.

if he paid 95e its only fair he sells it on for 95e. why should he make a loss?

**NeilMcD** · 02/08/2006, 3:57 PM

I think this is a time where the principle has to be kept due to the fact if let go this time it could be open to abuse. I know in this case that the poster is likely to be legit but if you let it go this one time it could be open to abuse form many touts.

he paid 95 to a tout - which then starts a merry-go-round! i've paid high prices before so I understand where sligo is coming from - still we should stick to the principle of not allowing the sale of over face value

**pegan** · 03/08/2006, 12:35 PM

anyone able to secure one?

There is a group of seven of us booked into the Ritz Garni Hotel ( originally Hafner Garni....but they over-booked ) and we are approx. 10 km from centre.However, as the Metro system is very good, and there is a stop adjacent to our hotel, it's not a problem.....15 mins to city centre!!

because nobody uses buses or trains to go to football in Dublin.

Merging this into the main thread

**Bluetonic** · 03/08/2006, 2:00 PM

Just to let people know that the metro system is pretty much non existant after midnight. Apparently though it kicks in again around 5am, so getting home from the night out will be fine
