Mine have arrived this morning.
In Trap we trust
Allegedly, a certain individual associated with Shels ran up a bill of E250k with the FAI for international tickets and they are now creditors hoping for Ozzie Kilkenny to bail them out. I suspect you have been caught up in this.Originally Posted by zenokelly
Allegedly.
How long ago was Phil the Greek?!
I collected my tickets (registered post) on Monday.
I got mine this morning too.
Yep, I got my allocation this morning as well!
got mine this mornin as well
hopefully mine have arrived when I get in. If I'm sitting front row after forking out 70 euros each for a ticket I won't be impressed!

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
its just a pity you couldn't resist a low shot at a sick man
Sitting pretty!!!
Okay then. You tell the Shels poster above why he isn't getting the Ireland tickets from Shelbourne FC as he usually does.its just a pity you couldn't resist a low shot at a sick man
Just found out we got our block book tickets today too.
But, typical of the FAI, they didnt put our seats together!
Section is great, 306, so central, but they split the tickets into 2,2 and 1 (ie in different rows, good bit apart too). I know its not a big deal really, but it would be good to enjoy the games with your mates beside you, and especially as the guy who booked the tickets had to ring up to find out if he got the allocation asked about the seating allocation and was specifically told that all 5 would be together. He was told they sort it from the middle out and that if no room was available for 5 tickets together in one area, andother section would be found to put 5 tickets together.
Shouldnt expect anything less I suppose. Going to see if there is someone on their own in one of the rows of 2 to see if they'd swap for our single ticket, and advantage of it is that the single ticket is in row DD which is a better seat than the others we got.
Ok, OB was the official ticket agent for the FAI through Shelbourne FC, he's not a well man at all and it may have just slipped his mind
Oh, sorry "allegedly"
Sitting pretty!!!
Am I right in assuming, with registered post, that if nobody is in the house when its delivered they'll leave a receipt and you have to collect it from the post office within 3 days.......in other words its time to phone the Mammy !
I had a block book of 2 tickets for the last two campaigns that were Seat 204and 208!Just found out we got our block book tickets today too.

Got mine for up in the gods today. Row bloody N in the back of the Davin Stand.
I think its 10 working days if the post originated in Ireland, 5 working days otherwise...the FAI hardly got them printed and posted from the UK or somewhere else....could they have?
No, that's just being too paronoid...
Tickets arrived yesterday. Three Hogan Stand tickets, 2 together and the other is in the next row 5 seats away.

Got mine this morning too. I've had the same seats at lansdowne for years but they couldn't even find two seats together out of the entire 66k home allocation.
I really can't fathom this at all - plenty of other people seem to be in the same boat. How bloody hard can it be to find seats together for the original BB's first?? Fkg typical FAI crap!!!!!!
I have been block booked for the last 8 campaigns along with my father and brother. We have been sitting in practically the same 3 seats for the last 10 years and have taken up our allocation for every game (friendly or competitive) in that time.
Got our tickets for Wales and Slovakia yesterday - all seperate. Two at opposite ends of a row, another 20-odd rows back.
I cant understand how in an 80000 seater stadium, the FAI cant satisfy the ticket requests of loyal block bookers who were accomodated in a 35000 seater stadium.
If loyal block bookers cant get seats beside each other than who is getting them? I know of at least one mate who applied for these games, first time he's applied for any, and got 2 seats beside each other.
Now like everyone here, i've seen incompetence and a total lack of common sense from the FAI on numerous occaasions but this, for me is the ultimate insult. Anyone with even the most basic business knowledge knows that your loyal customers are your bread and butter, and you have to keep them happy..
Anyone else in the same boat??
got mine through An Post yesterday evening whoo hoo
I was pi**ed off when I received my allocation bacause they are for block 336which is right in the corner beside the Nally Stand. Due to the dimensions of the pitch this would mean being behind the end line looking across the pitch. Wasn't happy considering my tickets in Lansdowne Rd were right on the half way line and I have taken tickets for each game competitive and friendly since 2000.
Was going to write to FAI to tell them how I felt but my situation is perfect in comparison to footballplease and Corky. I cannot believe they split up people who have always sat together.
Three lads completely separate, you couldn't make it up. It smells badly of laziness, sloppiness or just sheer incompetence to me. The 2 finger salute to the loyal fan. Don't see any loyalty from the FAI there.
At least my tickets are all together!
Will still write to them and I am seriously thinking of telling them to stick their €70 a ticket up their jacksey for the games in October!
Did anyone on this site get decent Hogan/Cusack tickets i.e lwr tier centre and together??
There'll be snow on that one.
Where is this?I cant understand how in an 80000 seater stadium, the FAI cant satisfy the ticket requests of loyal block bookers who were accomodated in a 35000 seater stadium.
