I went to Scotland and Wales with Abbey you get what you pay for it's a good service but sadly I simply don't have the resources to pay 650 in one go for this one. Gutted as I was going to gamble and just book 16.99 flights to Denmark day before draw.

So some people would pay that much over the odds for a guaranteed match ticket. Would this not then make Abbey Travel glorified touts?

Get off it. LOL

I see the logic to Abbey Travel, particularly if you're a new away traveler its a chance to built points as well.

I've no hope of getting in via FAI. If I want to be guaranteed to get in I'd go that route.

Prefer to pay €600 to get to the game than €300 and sit in a pub.

It's pricey but can absolutely see the appeal. If they went for two nights and included another night's accommodation in that, I'd have probably went for it as am certainly not guaranteed a ticket as it is.

Had sold out one hotel by 2pm and well on their way to selling out a second at 3:30. 

4 mates signed up, I've booked into the same hotel.

How many hotels were they offering? Surely they wouldn't of sold out more than a single flight at them prices! I suppose the match tickets is a big pulling factor!

My mates paid 650 euro each. They're in the Imperial, they had 3 hotels. One 3 star, two 4 stars. 

I've used them to Bosnia, Scotland and a few others. They generally run a good show, they will have filled two planes or close to it. As they're doing two different trips. 

I see the logic, i priced it myself my flights to Copenhagen from Madrid where 60euro but coming back to Dublin the easiest was near 300 plus a hotel there's not a huge amount in it. When you add the two flights out and back, decent hotel, transfers and match ticket.

Sir, I don't have a cover story. I'm an Irish man who resides in Spain, simple. Frequent traveler, to most away games as every game is away for me. Thought id sign up to the forum to meet my some fans.
