iTS BACK UP NOW. jUST APPLIED FOR MY 2

Xavi6

I'm in the queue....

Warper

In as well, would be great to get tickets

Fr Tod Umptious

I applied for 2 also

Oh and by the way

'In before the barstool v LOI debate'

Oat23

If half the people who applied for tickets went and supported their local team....

/Runs.

I applied. Dublin would be great craic if Rangers did get to the final.

Xavi6

15 euro just to apply! The thievin pricks.

Mr.Nice Guy

An administrative fee of €15 will be charged per successful ticket order.

They're some shower. Congratulations sir! Now about that fee...

Thats me out so

RasTa

I read it as if your lucky to get a ticket, it's €15 admin fee for printing, posting etc.

jasonb

Yeah, that's what it is. If you get a ticket in the ballot, you've to pay €15 for 'Admin charges'. It's still expensive, but it's not €15 just to enter the ballot.

I've put myself down for 2. Went for the Category 3 seats ( of course, there's no map telling you which categories' seats are where ). I didn't ticket the box that will let me get other catergories if Category 3 are sold out. I don't fancy getting hit with 2 Category 1 seats!

If you get to the end of the application it says that there is a €15 fee per application. No mention of the word 'successful'.

I'll screenshot if yis want.

Go ahead, you are misreading it anyway.

Copied this from the T&C's

5.1
Payment for the Ticket(s) can be made by using a valid credit card (Mastercard or Visa only). The total amount for the purchase price of the Ticket(s) will be charged during the period from 14 January to 26 January 2011 to the credit card specified on the Application Form and will include an administrative charge of fifteen (15) Euros.

Yer wrong mate, just did it myself.

Xavi6

Ok it's timed out but I had posted the text elsewhere. This is what I read on my receipt page -

Administrative charges: 15 EUR is charged per application.(this is to cover printing, postage and credit card clearance costs)

No mention of successful in that so if I'm wrong then fair enough.

I get as far as getting my ref number, I click next and it kicks me back to the log in page

Right I can't believe you are not getting this, why would they charge €15 and then mention it covers postage?

It's the same as a booking fee for any concert.

It is worded badly though imo.

Well that was my point. Why would they? The I have there says 'per application' not 'per successful application' so forgive me for taking their words as they Re.

Why the hell is there a 'queue'? It's the internet ffs

Edit: From the T&C on UEFA's page:

Payment for the Ticket(s) can be made by using a valid credit card (Mastercard or Visa only). The total amount for the purchase price of the Ticket(s) will be charged during the period from 14 January to 26 January 2011 to the credit card specified on the Application Form and will include an administrative charge of fifteen (15) Euros.

The Rooster

At the very least that ticketing charge is unclear.

The official FAQ states as follows:

Q6: Are there any Administration Charges in addition to the ticket prices?

A6: For each ticket order an Administration Charge will be applicable. This charge consists of administrative fees, handling fees, and delivery fees for secure mailing of tickets by express courier. The Administration charge is of 15 EUR per ticket order.

So that clearly states per order, but then goes on to mention delivery fees, which can surely only relate to actual tickets received. Can't help being a bit doubtful though when dealing with an organisation like UEFA!

Here are the ticket prices, including charges, for those who havent seen them:

Price Category 1 150 EUR
Price Category 2 120 EUR
Price Category 3 95 EUR
Price Category 4 65 EUR

So dear. And its ridiculous not knowing which sections are in which category.

Each ticket order means you've got the ticket, use some common sense people.

joe123

So I am the only one getting this problem??? Please god someone respond!

Only have to apply by 13 January to get into the ballot, so I'm waiting till they give more information on ticket categories.

Daemos

I sent them an email asking for clarification on the fee and seating plan, will post up the response when I get it

But like The Rooster said, it's open for 4 weeks so it's hardly a big disaster if you don't get your name in today, or even this month

Crazy money for a game of football. Are they like this for all finals or just here?

joe123

Yeah doesn't work in firefox. I don't like how they say tick box if you want a ticket in another price range. Wouldn't fancy ending up paying 135 euros when I initially wanted a 50 euro one.

Platini said the prices would be down this year compared to previous years.

Joyce Country

just applied

category 3 I went for but ticked the box saying i'd accept any category. I wonder does mean they could lump category 1 tickets on me :eek: Ah well, not every day a European final comes to Ireland!

I paid €115 + €30 for P&P and admin fees for a Cat 2 ticket last year. Same Category ticket is €105 + €15 this year.

Here's the reply:

FAI wrote:

Admin fee is only for those who are successful

Categories are as follows:

Price Category 1 (centrally positioned) 135 EUR
Price Category 2 (centrally positioned, above and next to Cat.1 tickets) 105 EUR
Price Category 3 (behind goals, lower level) 80 EUR
Price Category 4 (behind goals, upper level) 50 EUR

Warper

I'd gladly pay €135 for a top seat in a European final. It would be worth it imo. This wont come around again for ages so here's hoping.

Am I the only one disgusted by these prices? Right fair enough, I know it's a (whisper major whisper) European tournament but that price is extortionate. I was considering going but they can go fúck off with those prices.

Not really, e50 is what you will pay for upper level behind goals Ireland v Wales in the upcoming 'Carling Cup' tournament.

Give me a European final any day before that dross

Comparing it to one of the most expensive football tickets in the world is hardly fair.

I paid 15 euro and 11 euro into the respective legs of an earlier round match for example.

irelandspurs

I've registered but when i log it to chose tickets and put card details in it keeps sending me back to start. :mad:

redarmy

You're even kidding yourself by quoting those prices, you need to add 15 to each.

Price Category 1 (centrally positioned) 150 EUR
Price Category 2 (centrally positioned, above and next to Cat.1 tickets) 130 EUR
Price Category 3 (behind goals, lower level) 95 EUR
Price Category 4 (behind goals, upper level) 65 EUR

Interesting descriptions by the FAI. It seems that if you are not behind the goals, then you are "centrally positioned"!!

Qwerty27

Fees seem standard as per previous European Finals....I think I had to pay €25 for Champions League Final a few years ago...tickets are deievered by courier and you have to sign for them which accounts for most of fee

It is, they just phrased it poorly. Admin fee is only for successful applications

Gillington

Fooking website.I cant get past the "Apply for Tickets page".

Put my details in and all,then it just brings me back to the same bloody page! Tried Firefox and Chrome

adamski8

strange you can only apply for 2, usually its a 4 deal

Gillington

Anyone get any feedback on this? My mate has had money withdrawn from his account for tickets but no email

dor83

I would imagine they have charged people by now(everyone should be charged around he same time) so you should know by now if you have been charged, if you haven't I imagine you didn't get tickets.

blindpilot

Yep been charged too but no email confirming it. Hopefully this means I've got tickets.
