I just got a PFO too. First time in 15 years. I reckon all the sponsors got tickets & only a handful of block bookers got tickets.
Luckily a pal of mine on this board has promised me two. You know who yiou are - many thanks!
I'm going to put the full wording of the letter up later on this evening so that everybody can be aware of how they allocated the tickets. We'll just have to find a new family known as the "football family"

Yeah it was a lottery. I think the time has come for them to have a points system for away games. Fair enough I am only on the block booking since Brian Kerr took charged but was waiting for a while before that. But there are guys who have travelled with Ireland for years. The SFA have a points system and you get a point for every away game. You have to pick your tickets up at a hotel so you cant just apply and not go. It is stupid that someone could not go to any away games but fancies a trip to Germany now and can get lucky in the lottery ahead of someone who goes to all the home and away games. As I said I am not bitter as I have my 2 tickets from Eventm and anyway I am sure there are least 5,000 people more deserving than me who could have got tickets but this sytem should be put in place as it rewards loyalty and effort for the away games.
In Trap we trust
totally agree - BB since Kerr took and I got the letter there this morning. Luckily I have 3 tickets from German site but I feel for lads who have been to more away games than me and who migh be left short for this game.
Reckon sponsorship got a huge portion of allocation
The FAI have no motivation to introduce such a scheme as once demand outstrips supply they will always sell. Why introduce more paperwork when they can allocated them with a more simplistic system?
I'm sure they aren't too concerned who the tickets go to once the credit cards process.
Well the SFA introduced a sytem so why cant the FAI. I think a bit of name and shame in the press could do the job.
In Trap we trust
agreed , there should be an article in the press to put pressure on the fai. its frankly ridiculous that stutgart88 didnt get an allocation , i mean can there be 5,000 more deserving , i think not if he has taken tickets for the last 15 years
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.

I woke, and found that life was Duty.
Yeah the Star looks at the forum and gets stories so why not publish something and put pressure on the FAI to introduce a system similar to the SFA's.
In Trap we trust
Surely a well worded letter from disgruntled loyal fans would be the way to go firstly to see what response the FAI have. Make the suggestion to them, see what they say.
I can't imagine having the 'The Star' championing your cause is any benefit to anyone. I'd imagine the only thing 'The Star' would be successful in putting pressure on is your tolerance levels for bad journalism.
Do you not think that such a letter has not been sent many times before.
In Trap we trust
I'm sure it has.
Still don't see how The Star, or any national newspaper could change things. You need a will to want to change and personally from years of experience with the FAI I don't think it's there.
Did you read the whole letter ? I thought it was a PFO as well until I looked at the third last paragraphwhen it mentions I got 2 tickets
