    On one computer above the circle it tells me
    "please do not refresh as you will loose you place in the queue"

    On the other computer I am trying it on it does not have that message.

    Been in queue since 9.30. Why da fook would they announce the extra tickets going on sale...and create mayhem. For the last week they have been popping them up occasionally and they were being bought with no delay.

    No CAT C or D for the first QF in Cardiff...twill be a stretch to get Cat B's

    A & B ticket prices for the France game are a bit too much for me.

    you would think they would be able to drip feed/put them on different systems to lessen the nonsense. the circle moves slowly for me then when it gets to the end I get a grey screen saying timed out.

    No C tickets for Italy 30 minutes ago.

    That list is obviously manually updated and not reflective of the true situation.

    The whole thing is a farce. I never even got past the f-ing circle. And then to charge a fortune for tickets and €21 postage is criminal. What are they posting it in, a solid gold envelope?

    Seriously, they can f**k right off.

    updated 5 minutes ago with that info. its just a report run and posted, seems to be upto date. Miracle really considering how difficult it is to give them money


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,462 ✭✭✭finbarrk


    Couldn't be bothered with that rubbish. I'll just buy one on the day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,977 ✭✭✭TheDoctor

    Lads if you want tickets for these matches get online between 9-10am most mornings when they release batches of tickets. This is totally unannounced and random. It does mean a lot of checking of the website but it's quick and painless. No circle of doom.

    These planned sales are a joke. I was in a queue for 7 hours before giving up last time and swore not to this time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 69 ✭✭AidanD12


    At long last got the QF tickets after half the day trying and weeks of checking. What an absolutely ridiculous queueing system they have. Why don't they just use Ticketmaster for it as they manage to shift millions of tickets without any of this crap.

    I used several tabs open at the same time. Kept one static and let it plod along without any refreshes. Refreshed all the others periodically and for some unknown reason one tab would refresh and jump way up the queue to maybe 10% left. No idea whether that circle if reflective of where the queue is at or not but anyway got there in the end. Nearly fell at the final hurdle as the credit card rejected it but thankfully bank phoned straight away and cleared it for me.

    Feic I'm wrecked! Now where do I start looking for flights and accomodation ;-)

    Finally got in after nearly 5 hours. Only cat A left for France and Italy. Can get 4 tickets for cat D for Canada which I couldn't get before but on the fence about spending the money - need to decide quickly!

    Go for it lad. It'll be a great experience. If you change you're mind you'll always shift the tickets.


  • Registered Users Posts: 387 ✭✭Ascii


    Two of us trying and I got no where. Other lad got in and managed to buy the required tickets in CAT C for the two quarters....do not give up :-)

    I did do it in the end.

    We already have tickets for the Romania game with my brother and his son. This was a question of whether to bring my wife and two boys. The eldest was actually at the Ireland v Georgia game in 2007 as a 6 month old - here's hoping for a better match this time around!


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,396 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Just had a rush of blood - picked up 4 for the QF on the Saturday night. Now have 4 for either QF.

    They're sending it by DHL anywhere outside the UK. They're charging £5 postage inside the UK and to be fair, I'm happy to pay £5 on an order of tickets worth £1200.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,396 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Also, for those of you that get in, you can see your exact seat allocations in "My Orders". My CatC in the Millenium stadium is in section L31 - lower level about the 10 yard line.

    The B category tickets must be pretty limited though because when I went in a few minutes ago and about a half an hour ago there weren't any available.
