BB Croker letters

**michaelguineys** · 07/02/2007, 6:21 PM

Got my letter today. Asked for 5 tickets and i actually got 5 tickets!! Cant believe it. They are for Lower Davin.
It is a bit ridiculous tho that i received the letter this evening and have to have the €500 to em for monday!!!!!

**shakermaker1982** · 08/02/2007, 9:22 AM

mine didn't arrive yesterday so fingers crossed I have it when I get home.....

**KK77** · 08/02/2007, 9:31 AM

Anyone actually get a letter saying they didn't get tickets??

**tetsujin1979** · 08/02/2007, 9:36 AM

Still no sign of mine, pretty much given up all hope now

**Loadedscream** · 08/02/2007, 9:55 AM

I asked for 6, not got the letter yet but after last night I might not take any!!!

**shakermaker1982** · 08/02/2007, 9:57 AM

I was blaming the longer postal time to get it to the UK but maybe I've missed out

**Kingdom** · 08/02/2007, 10:18 AM

I got my letter yesterday. Applied for 4 tickets for the Lower Hogan. Was offered 4 tickets for Lower Cusack. I sent a letter asking to be offered tickets for any potential singing section. There was no reference to this in their offer. If there is a singing section I would be willing to trade my ticket for one in the Davin .

still waiting on mine too test.

going to ring them today and notify them, so that they can send another form or a) assuming i get it tomorrow will wait for payment a bit longer.

**michaelguineys** · 08/02/2007, 10:34 AM

Email them, I emailed a lady called Mary Byrne yesterday , MByrne@fai.ie , and she emailed me back straight away and told me I had received my allocation and that they went out in the post to me and they were at home when i got there.
She seems to be very good at her job adn very helpful so I wuold email her if i was you.
At least someone in the FAI seems to be competent!!!
Mary Byrne for Chief Exec!!! ha ha

Any UK based "waiting listers" received their letters yet? tight turnaround time for Monday as still not got mine. Although I am sure we will not be penalised if we are a few days late.

shakermaker i only got my letter yesterday, will be posted today got 2 upper Davin as requested , phone or email them the ticket office quoting your customer reference. Mine is still WL XXXXX which i am assume still means waiting list. Are the block booker references BB XXXXX.

**shakermaker1982** · 09/02/2007, 7:34 AM

Mine arrived yesterday - phew! Lower Cusack. Missus had a rant when she fount out it was 70 euro's a ticket but oh well!!!

**elroy** · 09/02/2007, 8:16 AM

Still havent got mine either, in fairness like if they posted the letters last week as they said, the letters would surely be out to everyone by now. Gonna give them a ring later today. Its a bit much asking people to have the money in on monday when they're only receiving the letters a day or two before hand.

**RedMick** · 09/02/2007, 8:37 AM

Got my letter yesterday, asked for 4 (Upper Davin) offered four (Upper Davin), sent letter back in last post yesterday, cant see them being super strict on the Monday deadline though

**Eire06** · 09/02/2007, 8:56 AM

My friend got his a bit late though..
FAI posted application letter to 185 XXXXXXX (correct address) and then posted offer to 158 xxxxxxx (Wrong addess) typical FAI, lucky for him that the post man knows him...

**Bluetonic** · 09/02/2007, 9:18 AM

There were 'very few' returned yesterday when I dropped mine into reception.

**RogerMilla** · 09/02/2007, 9:36 AM

lads its daftness , they send out the forms while we are in italy and you are expected to have paid up by monday!! still i got my allocation so happy days

**joe_barry80** · 09/02/2007, 9:45 AM

I applied for 2 per game was 5000 and something on the list. surely they have some thing for me? Although I live in europe Irish Post and all a letter will be late.

**paul_oshea** · 09/02/2007, 10:19 AM

applied for 4, only got the letter today. i have been charged 280 for 4 tickets per game, so i am assuming lower cusack/lower hogan is what i got. can someone tell me where does it say it on the invoice ( your seats are ), as my mother couldn't spot it anywhere......

I emailed the FAI yesterday and they told me as long as it arrives next week you will be fine. to be fair to them, I can see why they did this, they wanted the payments and invoices back ASAP, so they just said monday to ensure as many people would get them in as quickly as possible and not do the irish thing, "ah sure it will be grand, ill send them in in a couple of days!"
