I think Hotel Evropa is going to be some mish mash, I can smell disaster and over bookilng as it looks like a small place to me. I could be wrong. Should be fun

Just a question lads.Im not too familiar with travelling away but am making the trip to Montenegro, and just wanted to know will it be hard to get my hands on a match ticket as Im not a block booker.A few of my mates are guaranteed tickets and was just wondering how I would go about getting one.Cheers

**NeilMcD** · 13/02/2008, 8:14 PM

Check the FAI website for tickets around July as they will have a form to apply for tickets. First tickets will go to the block bookers who travel and after that they will be sold to the rest who want to go. Also keep an eye out here and there maybe ways of buying tickets for the Montenegro end but its too early to answer any of this at the moment.

Cheers.It'd be my first trip away.Although I'd feel bad if i was taking a die hard away fan's ticket but if anything does come up i'll be there

You'll have no prob getting a ticket even over there, keep an eye on here though...

**Blue Man** · 13/02/2008, 9:31 PM

Its just im a bit wary of spending the money on the flights and not having a ticket as my mates are all guaranteed theirs

if you're after just one ticket, i wouldn't worry. It's always the same with every away game but we always end up with tickets. The minute a list comes on here, get your name on it and apply to the FAI also as posted here in a few months. You'll find you prob get one from other fans in hotel over there or will be able to buy them out there.

**Blue Man** · 13/02/2008, 9:42 PM

yea im just after the one ticket.going to head out with the lads to barcelona on the monday and then on to Dubrovnik the next day.I just need a ticket.I might just head out anyway.Cheers for the info and hope ta see ya'll out there

**NeilMcD** · 13/02/2008, 11:54 PM

the way it works is you book you flights and then worry about tickets. its the only way to go.

**aidz1** · 14/02/2008, 9:00 AM

Given the fact that the stadium only holds 12000, i reckon ticktets could be tough for this one. there seems to be quite a few people going on this one.

Your mates are not guaranteed tickets. The ground only holds about 12,000. As the away support we are allocated 10% of the capacity so that's 1,200. So if more than 1,200 block-bookers apply then demand will exceed supply. Personally I'd say about 3,000 block bookers will be after tickets so you may have to source yout ticket elsewhere. As other people have stated here though, you never know if you have a match ticket until a few weeks before the game, so you always book your trip in the hope you'll get sorted. Nine times out of ten it works out fine so if I were you I'd just go and book it.

Absolutely. Myslef and GT have gone to a few away games with out tickets and it always ends up being fine. There is often a mad panic that people wont get tickets but it usually works itself out. Like GT said keep an eye on here as its a great way of getting tickets.
