Would it be hard to get tickets for the home leg? Will they sell out quick online? Last game I was at was Sweden at the euros so not exactly a regular..

Oh dear, someone is upset:pac: You should be, you exposed yourself horrendously in the Wales/Ireland match thread and that's where your bitterness stems from.

Actually I do watch the rugby internationals but the soccer game that day takes precedence.

Embarrassing stuff from you pal, I'm scarlet for ya:o

:rolleyes: sure buddy, enjoy being a delusional Celtic fan, the only sad thing is you bring your nonsense in here to the Irish thread
Like other posters have said you havent a clue what your talking about, you are just talking nonsense

Double C

Seems like you can only buy 1 ticket as well, what's the point?

You'll have an email about with a link, follow that

when was the email sent?

haven't heard diddly from the FAI at all

Adamocovic

When I follow the presale link I don't even get anything.

Hopefully just a glitch and is back up.
Someone else said as well they could only buy 1 ticket. Seems a bit odd.

I got it yesterday afternoon around 4.

Harambe

I went on the 3 pre-sale at 11.00 and was only giving the option to buy 1 ticket, choose best available and it sais sorry no tickets.
Went on again and got a slightly different page where I could choose up to 4 tickets, I choose 2 but didn't get those either.
Now I'm just getting errors.

noodler

Only had the option for one as well so I left it.

Will try and get tickets for four of us on Friday.

Adamocovic

Finally popped up for me.

All started normally, selected 2 tickets, then after putting in presale code it will only allow me to select 1 ticket.

Hopefully fixed soon.
Will check back during the day, presale lasts for the day anyway.

had the opposite allowed to select 4 but when I selected 50 euro got an error. Now only able to select 2 but nothing available and getting an error

Umaro

I also got the error, it only allowed me to buy 1 ticket which is useless. Will have to try again on Friday.

Lads turning down 'only 1 ticket'?? LOL, ffs its going to be a sell out, take what you can get

Kingp35

Of course it should be one ticket per season ticket holder, it's exactly like buying away tickets or tickets to the Euro's. One season ticket should always equal one ticket to buy.

Ah, it's a tradition at this stage.

First year the four of us didn't get a season ticket in decades so concensus was to try our luck on Friday for four or two 2s.

125 for the one I was offered was a bit steep.

mutley18

I was only allowed one ticket as well, I took it, be crazy not to! Not arsed being separated from my mates, I will be fully focused on the game, will see them gimps before and after

It's not even a case of turning down "only 1 ticket". Even selecting 1 ticket for best available gives no result, same story at 11 when it opened.
<edit> Seems like the 1 tickets were working and just went off too quick for me so!<edit>
Plus it's hardly being that greedy or crazy to want 2 tickets beside each other. Would prefer to be sitting beside my Dad if we both going to the game.

This isn't just for season ticket holders, it's the presale done by 3.
They do this all the time and it's normally maxed at 4 tickets a game with a limited number of tickets designated to them.

Appears so! I had assumed there was an error with it as when I tried this morning it wasn't giving me results.

Must have sold out within first 4 mins or so when went up.

How much is a season ticket ? and do they go on sale before each campaign or each year if that makes sense ?

ST runs from June to June each year I think.First game on this year's was Serbia.
Cheapest ST is €130 and €220 is the most expensive .

It's well worth it if you're thinking about it next year.

I'm raging tbh. I decided not to go for it this year as moved abroad, could tell a playoff was coming, would have made life so much easier!

I'll probably end up spending more just trying to get tickets to the Denmark game!

yabadabado

It is good value especially if you do FAI cup final and friendlies.
The 2 qualiiers and play off game probably has covered the cost of mine compared to buying on a match by match basis.

:pac: This from the guy who came on to the Wales Ireland thread to slate James McClean and then inexplicably continued even after he scored the winning goal. You got your ass handed to you in that thread by several posters pal and it looks like you're still sore about it.

What exactly am i sore about, you are the one who hasnt a clue what hes talking about
Everything i said about McClean is true, you just spout drivel how people hate the North if they dont agree with you

Don't we have a load of yellow cards going into the first leg ?

ballsymchugh

can we have a circular sub-forum for these arguments that go round and round and never get anywhere? just for the 3 or 4 of yis?!

Ha ha, great idea... or schoolchildren.ie might have a forum they could use?

Think we have four. I know Ward, Duffy and Christie are on yellows and if I'm not mistaken Arter is also on a yellow.

Bounty Hunter

Any chance the back and forth between those 2 guys could be elsewhere...



Honestly I would prefer to have the 2nd leg away. Might sound odd but Ireland have preformed better away from home recently and it'd also leave the potential for extra time away goals for Ireland.

That 4-0 vs Poland I keep hearing about has me somewhat worried for this fixture. This will be anything but easy but I'm still happy it wasn't Croatia or Italy.

There is no doubt to put it mildly this won't be easy they are favorites overall. We for sure have a real shot at winning this tie but they are definitely favorites going in.

We might knock in a couple of away goals....Shane Long has to come good soon so might as well be that game .

Idbatterim

i hear about this poland game a lot, anyone thinking they will put two or more past us in a match is deluded IMO. The irish matches are almost always extremely tight...

We have conceded two or more in four competitive matches under the lads. Against France, Belgium, Serbia and Poland. Deluded is way too strong. I mean it's probably unlikely but at the same time I wouldn't be shocked.

johnpatrick81

The 4-0 v Poland is all well and good, but they still finished 5 points behind them, and managed to lose at home to Montenegro, and draw at home to Romania.

They're still the favourites, but damn we should give them a right good game and have absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

I'm glad you put that "IMO" into your comment!

It's hardly deluded for one to contemplate they are capable of putting a few goals against us.

Idbatterim

Against France, Belgium

yeah I remember the belgium one, as I watched it in fanzone in bordeaux. France we were down to ten men and we had far less rest days than them...

I reckon there will only be a goal in it either way, its the way we play, we dont score many, but we dont concede many...
