2010 Ford FAI Cup Final - Aviva Stadium - €10 a ticket

stovelid

Delighted on a selfish level that Blinkhorn and Ryan are missing but it's a desperate shame for the game and them obviously.

Blinkhorn missing will leave Sligo with very little up front?

Nothing up front, we've got no more strikers.

Might go 4-5-1 with O'Grady in for Richie, Eoin Doyle on the right and put Boco up front or the other way round.

Doyler is a decent bet up front.

McGoldrick is our only real striker available for it and I can't see him starting the cup final on the back of two or three sub appearances.

Not sure where we'll be. Ill pick up a ticket tonight and post up here where Rovers are in the ground.

Cant wait for this, and at €10 a seat, really cant wait.

Although i did hear it was limited to 27,000 (sorry no link), add that to the premium ticket holders and should be a good crowd.

Its a great opertunity for neutrals to say they have been in the new studium

WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO LANSDOWNE, WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO LANSDOWNE, LA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA..... COM ON THE BIT O'RED.

why would it be limited to 27,000?

segregation probably would mean 1,000 seats or so, maybe they wont open one of the top teirs?

the stadium has 39,000 general admission seats and then 11,000 premium/corp tickets.

I went to school with him to both primary and secondary school and he played up front all the time, scoring was pretty much his thing, strange seeing him play left back.

Word is that top tiers wont be open. Would cost them a fortune in extra Garda and Stewards, would be a waste if the seats arent needed.

He only ended up left back because we (GUFC) had no left back and he happened to be left footed.

So did Boco, that don't make him a striker.

Sligo shift 5,500 tickets in a day

Sligo Rovers have confirmed that 5,500 tickets for the FAI Ford Cup final have been bought by Bit o' Red supporters within the first 24 hours of sales.

The new club shop in O'Connell Street will be open again on Saturday between the hours of 10am and 5pm.

The shop will not be open on Sunday and the club is urging supporters to purchase tickets as soon as possible to gauge for demand ahead of the 14 November occasion.

The FAI Cup final takes place in the Aviva Stadium on the 14th November when Sligo Rovers will take on newly crowned league Champions Shamrock Rovers, who will be aiming to complete the double.

FAI Cup Final ticket news

The club will make an announcement on Monday with all details on ticket sales for the FAI Ford Cup Final on November 14th.

There will be a daytime sales window at the club office (hours to be confirmed) along with some late night sales. The club received an initial allocation of approx 10,000 tickets so there will be plenty to go around. Tickets are priced at €10 for adults and €5 for children.

Ticketmaster now saying tickets go on sale on the 4th. Remains to be seen if you can pay on the gate.

I am pretty sure the Aviva is a "cashless stadium". They may have those mobile units outside to sell the tickets but its probably best to get them in advance

AFAIK you scan your ticket to get in, no people at turnstiles, could be wrong though. Only been once and that was when I was in the presidential box so I didn't have to deal with turnstiles.

adamski8

wtf?
I checked last night and tickermaster said the tickets would be on sale today the 4th at 10am.
Went to buy tickets just now and now it says on sale saturday the 6th!!:mad:

Must be in the region of 12-13000 sold already between the two clubs so far then?

Even more i'd say, sligo rovers had sold over 7,000 by tuesday morning. Picked mine up monday morning, only sligo ones at that point were behind the goal on the south stand (three teired stand).

stovelid

Our initial allocation now sold out so must be more than my estimation.

The neutrals will probably pick up tickets closer to the time so if the weather holds out, I'd say there will be 20-25k at this.

Rovers sold out their kids allocation and didnt get anymore, bit of a joke tbh.

FAI havent of yet released anymore kids tickets.

It is annoying but in fairness, 10 quid a head is still not bad for a family to give the FAI their due.

I can only assume Rovers will ask for more.

Shamrock or sligo. Sligos kids allocation were gone by monday. Will there be checkers at the gates to see if a person holding a childs ticket is actully a child.

Never been to an FAI game but am tempted to go to this.

Thankfully a neutral source will be divvying up the ticket sales at least.

Awful annoying how some people on here keep refering to 'Rovers' this....'Rovers' that.... WHEN CLEARLY THE 2 TEAMS ARE NAMED ROVERS.

frantic190

Sligo only have about 200-300 tickets left apparently. Looks like the top tier may have to be opened.

TangyZizzle

That, or FAI could be the downers they usually are and simply declare tickets are sold out.

Be typical of the FAI to charge more for the upper tiers when the lower sells out.

Is through the club shop? Was apparently only a few hundred when i got mine earlier in the week as well.

Heard in hearsay that the ones through ticketmaster were for seats in the corners, sections of stand behind the corner flags, although did not say if for netuals or if you had to nominate your side. Anyone know anything about this?

Rovers to win this comfortably. Im not saying that Rovers will lay down and be walked all over, but Rovers are just so much more better and are always reliable when it comes to the big games.

You really should. It's going to be a good game with a brilliant atmosphere in a stadium that hasn't really been rocking yet.

I doubt it will be "rocking" again till next November!


So what's the craic with tickets? Which sides are what fans on? Don't want a repeat of Tallaght and sitting with the Fingal "fans" like last season.
