so you are using it for barter...

...unless you are def going to just sell it to someone who doesn't meet your criteria. anyhow i am not bothered either way i have a ticket, but if i hadnt i would be, as all i could offer you is money.....

Same boat. Won lottery for 2 sets of follow your team tickets all the way to semi finals (seeing as i figured out the final ones would be oversubscribed and maybe the ones to the semis would be easier to get) for the last world cup. Then paid an extortionate fee to a tout for the switzerland debacle at home in the final qualifying game. A summer ruined.

Same here and myself and a mate are both on 1900s mark but a fella before on ~1700s said he was offered them and that they stopped at some stage so we estimated it was at the 1800 mark and this was backed up by someone else. No seconding guessing the FAI though !

You'd think they might throw any away team returns in the WL direction too (maybe they did ???)

We should've known better than to hope for us to qualify for tournaments in Portugal and Germany.......that would be too fecking handy !

I've never had a problem and i'm around the 1,000 mark. They never offer returns though. afaik they all go on public sale if there is any (only ever for the smaller games, how i got to san marino at home)

When I was on the waiting list, I was offered tickets to Albania & Georgia in whatever qualifying series that was.

I got tickets for the very same games, but it was a general sale, the ticket office put the away allocation up for sale one mornin and i got hold of them that way.

**marley** · 19/02/2007, 10:27 AM

Did anyone get a letter back from the FAI saying they were unsuccessful in getting tickets.
I like the rest of the block booking waiting listers received a letter asking how many tickets i wanted but that i may not get all of them, I didn't think I'd get none but even if they had sent me a letter saying I wasunsuccessful I could have tried to get them through the club.

How many did you ask for, what number were you on the waiting list and what section did you ask for? Just wondering!

**shakermaker1982** · 19/02/2007, 11:02 AM

**marley** · 19/02/2007, 11:30 AM

Just checked my account there, the cash was taken out of my credit card over the weekend

**marley** · 19/02/2007, 3:08 PM

I phoned the FAI today regardiong BB Waiting list and how come they have not as of yet sent out a letter saying they have no tickets for us. The answer was they are hoping to fill the rest who have not got tickets from returns ( tickets ordered but not paid for). Anyone who hasn't received a letter should get confirmation one way or another next week.

**NeilMcD** · 19/02/2007, 3:17 PM

Biggest advice I could give anybody regarding the FAI is to contact them as often as you can rather than wait in limbo. They are not always the best communicating with people or should I say being pro-active in their communication with people. Therefore ring them up as much as you can rather than worry at home or give out in the pub.

**RogerMilla** · 19/02/2007, 3:19 PM

cash debited form my card , a big ker-ching for the FAI this morning !!

ya think i might give them a buzz late this week or early next week, make sure they keep me in mind. I imagine they wouldnt have a confirmed number of returns untill the end of the week at earliest.

Has anyone on the WL who didnt receive an allocation of tickets hear anything from the FAI regarding returns? Rang them this morning, werent much help-just said that they would contact me if any tickets are not taken up. They dont know if or how many have been returned as of yet.

That is an absolute cracker!! OMG I nearly ****ed myself. Good luck with that one mate. Great swap!!! You have about the same odds of pulling that one off as you do of winning my raffle below.

I have 2 tickets for the game. If you can tell me the row, seat, block and stands of both tickets then you can have them. You have one guess, so think about it.

Wales or Slovakia for a barca ticket, j.c. thats priceless.

PS: How many group games did you actually attend? 2, 1 (or none

)????

**Krstic** · 02/03/2007, 9:59 AM

I had applied for 2 tickets and had received no response, until yesterday when I received an e-mail informing me that they were now in a position to offer me 2 upper Davin.

Happy days.
