So Abbey Travel have 50% and Greenforever Travel have 50%.......at least it's transparent

An assumption based on ....?? Seen as we will be allocated on average 3,000 tickets for each game , half of which could go to travel companies & sponsors that doesnt leave much for the rest. The only saving grace in my opinion is the fact that a good portion of the tickets for each game go to the locals, many of which will be filtered down to the supporters of the teams on show... at what price though is the big question . Ill be confident enough of getting a ticket for myself (not confident of getting my usual 3) but I for one wont be too surprised getting let down again by the FAIs ticketing policy or lack of. . . and if Abbey travel get HALF of the tickets we are allocated it will be a case of bureaucracy gone mad.  If I can't get a ticket after travelling around Europe supporting the lads when it seemed only a handful of us gave a fook I will never hand over a single penny to the FAI again. .

Lads and Lassies,

Cheers Aido.....my suggestion ( well demand really) is that I get allocated my four tickets for all games.

Thanks for sorting it

Don't know yet what format the meeting will take but we'll try to get as much info as possible from them about their intentions.   We'd also like to give them a sense of what people think. So if people wish to post any suggestion about how tickets could or should be allocated post them up and we'll look at them and bring them up with the FAI

Great going getting the meeting AidoM, comes at a good time with some sort of announcement from them tomorrow. Improved communication is probably one of the things I'd love to see most. Ticket allocation processes and updates seem to run hand in hand with pre budget scaremongering. Loads of rumours each time and nothing confirmed by FAI. I totally appreciate due to matches happening close together such as playoffs, or the delay in cobnfirmation of Andorra venue, that this adds to hampering an already difficult situation. But instead of people having to email/call the already very busy ticket office, regular updates and information from the FAI would be very much appreciated.

Secondly blanket sending out tickets to clubs for matches where the club has neither requested them nor wanted them which I heard happened to at least one club for both the Andorra and Tallinn matches is an indicator that something drastically needs to be addressed in the allocation process. If the pool of tickets available directly to fans can be increased then it would go some way towards alleviating recurring nightmares for fans trying to get tickets.

Just my opinion on two areas (amongst others) that I'd love to see possibly addressed. A meeting taking place is without doubt a good step forward in giving the fans the opportunity to bring things to the table with the FAI. Regular meetings would be a great way to aid improved communication. Best of luck with it all!!
