Since they went 'official' on their website that there is a waiting list they've had a few 1000 more additions. The list used to be fairly static around the 1,000 to 1,500 people for a long time.

yes, was 1200ish the last time i asked which was early this year. I will not bother them again and will keep my fingers crossed for Croker but am hopeful I am high enough up the list by now. I reckon I am on the waiting list close to 3 years.
I feel I've gone backwards on the list. I sent them an email this morning and I was told I was in the 1230-1250 (not giving exact number - I'm paranoid ) but I thought I was in the 1100's the last time I checked so was expecting better tbh,.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Did you take up all the friendly tickets they offered you?
i am at about 1,950 on the list , or i was a few months back
anyone know when the letters will come offering croker tickets ?
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
Yeah, I've never declined any offer of tickets. I'm aware that declination(!) of tickets will result in you dropping off/down the list.

Got my Block Booking Form in this am:
4 choices
Upper Cusack/Hogan
Upper Davin (Canal) = €50.00
Lower Cusack/Hogan = €70.00
Lower Davin (canal) = €50.00
Premium (very limited) €85.00
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
if someone does get a form and they are on the block-booking waiting list, can they post here, as i live in london and my parents aren't the best at realising what an FAI letter is as opposed to any other letter

Any offer of a singing section? And while I'm at it those tickets prices are a load of ****. What they are equating these matches in Croker to is an All-Ireland final. Wonder what the price of the Hill for the visitors will be? I doubt Slovakia will use up 7,200 tickets so will spares go on general sale?

€50? That's a 67% increase for cheapest ticket.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
It may seem petty but those prices are very unfair. I'll have to pay €100 up front if I want to be in the singing section. Trollocks thats what it is. Do they not realise that they are doubling their attendence so why the inflated prices? I understand they've to give the GAA rent money but surely there's no need for that much of a rise.

Anyone buying or selling a ticket…?
And so the inevitable came to pass. Faced with double the capacity at Croke Park, the FAI decided not to halve the ticket price but to effectively double them. They will no doubt have their arguments, but without even having heard them I can tell you that they are flawed.
