I'm a Block Booker and definitely 5 July.

**Beavis** · 30/06/2006, 4:17 PM

Mine said 28th, I'm not a block booker

**Forever Dreamin** · 30/06/2006, 9:16 PM

28th but in fairness i dont think they are that strict on dates, they will try and look after those with a track record of going to away games and then draw lots for the rest. remember they have a record going back donkeys years of who bought tickets, and its pretty easy to look at anyone whos gone to the majority of away games over the past 10 yrs or whatever, and in fairness they are entitled to a bit of preference in my opinion!

if you missed the boat on the eventim tickets, theyre still fairly cheap on ebay ... when i consider the amount of irish travelling and the world cup germany have played so far, im expecting the ticket prices to shoot up any minute

they have never rewarded loyalty like this before and doubt they will this time. question was put to john delaney on radio a while back and the order was..
sponsors and players then ten yr ticket holders then block bookers including clubs and leagues. any tkts left over after sponsors, players and 10 yr tkt holders will be raffled with all block bookers getting equal chance (depending on amt of tkts they block book) no matter what their previous record. non block bookers havnt a hope id say

I'd say you'd be fine, i was talking to one of the german lads who was selling tickets on ebay the other day and he seemed sound... replyed to my email within half an hour

good thing is that the german crowd on ebay are generaly selling tickets at face value where as everyone else is selling them for £££

apart from the odd guy who can't make the game, why would you bother buying up tickets to resell them on ebay for face value???

The prices right now are still pretty decent. Plenty of tickets to be had for like 40 €, which obviously more than face value, but not outrageous by any means. When you consider the estimated amount of Irish travelling AND what´s been happening here recently that price should shoot up soon.

I'd say most block bookers wont even get tickets from the FAI. It'll be like the switz away game in the last euros. I am a block booker who has got tickets for ever home game for the last 10 years and I got nothing for that game.

Strangely enough 747, Abbey etc managed to source a few hundred tickets in the irish section for that game. I know the FAI doesnt give them tickets but you just have to wonder where these people get such large quantities of tickets. So many travel agents are selling packages with guaranteed irish section tickets at the moment.

**elroy** · 06/07/2006, 1:03 PM

Tickets on ebay are now going for about 60+ compared to 50 odd the last few days, so Id say get them now or in a few weeks they could be crazy prices. Doubt the germans have even thought about looking for tickets for this game yet.

thats th eofficail line but i know a few of them in the ticket office and they do try and look after the people they know that go to most away games. Applied for 4 for Basle mark 1 got 4, applied for 4 for Brussells got 4, applied for 4 for all away games so hope to get the 4 for this one. Will still be looking for 1 or 2 poss for fellas that go to about half the games and lads that arent on the bb scheme. Not saying its fair but a lot better than ticketmaster etc, remeber those on the BB scheme fromt the start have gone to lots of games that were not slel outs or anywhere near it. Remember being in lasndown with as low as 15,000 wathcing when Giles was in charge and then Hand! Team used tostay in the Central Hotel and then the Tara Towers. Could you imagine his corkness in the Tara Tower

s?
