I would say the Austrians had to pay more than the 25 quid we were charged too.


Pretty sure tickets in Bari were ten euro.  Same for home fans behind the other goal.

I've never heard of a case where Irish away fans were charged less than home fans for the equivalent seats.  I'd be shocked if this was ever the case.  There are plenty of cases of us paying more than the home fans including Cardiff 2007.  Many others have done it including Cyprus and Macedonia (big differences that spring to mind).  It is against FIFA rules but doesn't seem to be enforced.  We have never done it. 




Yeah, Bari was a tenner but I think I paid €20 in Macedonia.

What exactly do people want



SFA refuse to give us extra tickets for an unsold out game.     Blame FAI


FAI limit FAW tickets for a game in Dublin that will be a sell out.   FAI are in wrong



Which is it


Shoul the host nation refuse tickets or not to the visitors



Then ticket prices

2007. FAW charge us 35/pounds a ticket as against home fans a tenner

2016. FAI charge Welsh fans the same price as Irish fans and the FAI are shafting the Welsh fans



The bank inconsistencies are laughable



The actual allocation of tickets is completely speerate to this
I know nothing :-)

I don't think anybody complained about the amount of tickets we received from the SFA for the Scotland game. The issue is with how the tickets we received were allocated.

Can you not read? Nobody cares about not getting extra tickets from the SFA, that wasn't the issue. The issue was obviously the tickets not being allocated fairly. In fact nobody having a clue how or who the tickets were allocated to was the problem.

1) The distribution of the allocation by the FAI was the problem, not the allocation received.

2) FAI are in the wrong if, and only if, there is a limit to the amount of tickets received in return, which looks unlikely. If not, then good negotiating. They seem to have done well here, tbh.

3) The FAW should not have shafted us. That is deplorable. The FAW deserve condemnation for discriminatory treatment.

4) The Welsh fans can piss off. They voted for Brexit as a country and the tickets are 20% more expensive as a result. Not our fault. They are paying full home prices; it's not our fault Dublin is more expensive. You can fault the overall ticket prices if you want, but that's a separate point from faulting the FAI for screwing Welsh fans, which they aren't doing. The FAI are not being discriminatory.

Incidentally, I don't see that many posters actually making the contradictory points you point out. Some make one point, some make the other, and you conflate their views to call them contradictory. It's not; this is a discussion forum, not a unified front. It might show that it is impossible to please all of the people all of the time; as someone who is among some of the people who are pleased all of the time by the FAI, at least when tickets are concerned, it might be hard to see that.

Yes its a small number of posters its just the balme FAI mentally of some.

No one is defending how the Glasgow tickets were distributed and its a bit boring at this stage. Since then we have had several sell out away trips and all have been ditstrbuted reasonably fairly.


The poinys I make are that it was OK for the SFA to restrict us to tickets for an unsold out game and certain people seem to have no issue with that and then say we shafted the Welsh by not giving then more tickets for a game we will sell out and we have already givent them probably an extra 1000/more than we had to


Then others suggesting we should sell tickets cheaper to the Welsh than our own fans



As for ewfwnsing the FAI I'd love to know what they have done wrong here

I know nothing :-)

"All we can do is distribute our tickets as best as we can: through our supporters' clubs, through our clubs, through our affiliates."

No mention of direct distribution.

Lovely.

Nope, I wouldn't have said so.
Firstly, for France we got allocated far more tickets than the normal number of away travellers.
For Bosnia, the numbers actually travelling were more or less covered with the allocation - Certainly, bar one or two on here I don't recall seeing too many who intended to travel that ended up doing so without a ticket. And Austria was a similar situation : Although the allocation was over-subscribed, there was again enough for all regular travellers to be covered and to also cover others. Again, I don't know of too many regulars who travelled to Vienna without a ticket and also don't know of too many over there who were left without.
For Wales, it could easily be the most over-subscribed game since Glasgow so that's where the system will be properly tested.

Exactly, let's wait and see how the 40% of the 3,500 gets allocated in October. 

This is the first real test of the FAI's allocation system since the s**tshow that was the distribution of tickets to randomers in Glasgow. 

It's only 1,400 tickets for "independent supporters who are members of Republic of Ireland Soccer Supporter Clubs and Fans' Direct". 

If it's a game to seal WC qualification, demand could be twenty times that.
