I'm in desperate need of tickets for the fortcoming game against Switzerland. I've already booked 3 flights and just received a letter this morning from the FAI informing me that I've been allocated zero tickets even though I'm a blockbooker! Any help at all would be really appreciated.
www.euroteam.info......euro 210 for cat 3 tickets ...take it or leave it I'd say
sorry try www.euroteam.info as I said 210 for cat 3 tickets and up to euro 300 for cat 1
I managed to successfuuly bid for a ticket on the Swiss ebay site (www.ebay.ch). The site is in German so a dictionary or a German speaker would be handy. If you make a bid on the Swiss site, you can track progress via your ebay account (My eBay), you can get the gist of the process from using the english version of ebay.
2 tickets have been going for up to CHF680 (£300), although I got one in section C1 (family section) for CHF176 (£80). Most seem to be in the D sections of the ground behind one goal - need to be careful if these are in the thick of the Swiss fans. The FAI could not confirm to me the dedicated seating section for Irish fans - hopefully this won't be an issue. You can see the layout of the ground on www.fcb.ch.
Good luck.
has anybody got tickets from that euroteam website, as i would be suspicous as to how trustworthy it is, its an awful lot of money to pay out if its a scam. Has anybody here got tickets from this avenue before.
Guys be very very careful. Most of these organisations take orders and money for tickets and then try and source them. WC98 had some real horror stories. Loads of rugby fans just done for Australia although it should prompt the IRB to follow FIFA and UEFA to sell tickets direct to fans rather than allow travel agents to fleece them.
Loads of Irish done for Cross Channel trips to Old Trafford etc.
I reallyt hink you'd do better outside the ground than with these guys although beware of forgeries.
The Irish sector should be somewhere in sector B.Originally posted by West5

I don't think there will be any problem in the other sectors. For opposing fans coming to sector D might be a problem for a FC Basel match, but not for a national team match.
Any idea what price tickets will be outside?Originally posted by Volltreffer

No idea. But there are so many people desperately looking for tickets that prices are likely to be very high (whatever that means).Originally posted by gspain

If you travel to Basel and try to get tickets here, you should go to an internet cafe and visit www.fcbforum.ch (the FC Basel forum) on the day of the match and ask for tickets. The chances may be slim, but many people (as myself) bought 4 tickets (that was the maximum you could get per person) just in case their friends needed some. And if they have a spare ticket they are more likely to sell it at a reasonable price than the people in front of the stadium.
If I find no one who wants my 2 spare tickets, that's the way I'll sell them (at the original price of CHF 34.75).
What do you mean if you don't find anyone who wants your 2 spares....you just have ...me!!!!!!Originally posted by Volltreffer

I would gladly take them off your hands as we have a group of 12 travelling, and so far only have 2 possible tickets (though these are not definite).
Let me know

"If I don't find anyone" means "if none of my friends asks me whether I have tickets". But I think you perfectly understood me.Originally posted by Junior

You should really do as I said (fcbforum.ch), or maybe you should already go there now and make a few friends.They are quite a friendly lot on the whole. Most of them even speak/write some kind of English.
Yeah, Im only joking, I'll get on to the Basel forum next week and do some 'Networking' as they say in the business world, you never know, might get lucky.Originally posted by Volltreffer
