The Full Article!! as requested!!!
Germany is first up...
As I live in Holland the German game is something I have to go to. Now because I live in holland I dont have th same contacts I would if I were at home so... I know its evil but im going to have to buy from a tout... What would be a price where I wasnt being ripped off for the game??
Have Faith Shamrock!!! Put your name down on waiting list!!!
Have you tried the eventim.de web site?
Seen as your in Holland they may still post them to you if they have any left or when they figure out how many they canceled from Irish fans.

Is The Star the Irish version of The Sun?
No. Different papers altogether. Same basic idea though.

Anything over face value is a rip off IMO. You can keep checking the eventim.de website or wait till nearer the time and i'm sure a few will come available on this site (at face value).
I hope you don't have to deal with the touts but they won't be that expensive. Tout prices for Germany v Argentina and Germany v Italy were €300 and €350 respectively. The Germans weren't paying that in either case by and large so it will be much cheaper than that for our one as they don't realise we're a far bigger team than the other 2.
Does anyone know when people will find out if they are successful with their application for tickets with the Fai.
I rang the gimps the other day and was told, after an elongated pytonesque conversation with some foreign chick, that she could check if you're on the list but that they're not sending out the tickets til August(ie you won't know if you've been successful unless you ring them).
The closing date for applications was only last Wednesday. Would guess it will be 2 or 3 weeks before they sort out applications from the various sources, Block Bookers, 10 year ticket holders, League clubs, the various Leagues up and down the country, supporters clubs, sponsors and corporates, players and officials and of course Ray Treacy
May be wrong, but would not expect to hear before the August Bank Holiday but would expect to hear before the Holland game.

Who is credited with writing that article in The Star?
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Sorry Peadar,
Didn't get his or her name when i posted it the other day!!!
There's a lot of dodgy "journalists" prowling these pages...

They will confirm if you have been successful, if you phone them.
The closing date for applications was May 26th.
They will post tickets out in August. But if you have tickets from the German agency and want to find out if you got FAI tickets. I'm also sure that you could return your FAI tickets as well if you were successful with the German agency.
Did you not read my previous post!
The closing date for registering for an application form was 26 May.
The closing date for submitting completed application forms was last Wednesday, 5th July on my form, several others had a closing date of 28th June, as discussed previously on this forum.
Not aware of any Block Booker who has yet been informed if they have been successful or not.

From your post i assume you dont think Ray Treacy should get tickets.... in fairness to Ray he brings the same gang to virtually every game and they are entitled to tickets....I still see some of the faces from the early 1980s on his trips....personally i would never travel with him as i dont need 5 star hotels and 5 star prices but he offers 10 times better value than our jumbo jet palThe closing date for applications was only last Wednesday.

Any one any Ideas of just how many tickets we've nicked from the Germans?
Not at all. I don't think you are right when you say he brings the same crowd to every game. He has a core of clients who travel to every game and no problem with them getting tickets. However, I think you will find that when tickets are more scarce, his allocation is not scaled down like everyone else, in fact I suspect it is actually increased as he is likely to have more travelling with him for such games as match tickets are guaranteed (so his adverts say)
In fairness, I think you will find that Michael at 747 has no guaranteed match tickets arrangements with the FAI. For games where there are plenty of tickets, I am sure he uses them all right, but when they are scarce from FAI he uses agents abroad to get tickets for him.

from what i know michael gets no tickets from the fai, they and he do not have any kind of relationship and i believe he uses agents for all games. What i would love to know is how these agents get so many tickets??
