Except for those of us who have little or no history of getting away tickets from the FAI (been to every home game for about seven years and plenty before it (first game a friendly v Bolivia in '94), twice away this campaign and four more before, four season tickets). Boo. |

luckily it didnt come to myself and my mate needing to pay a tout.
but a HUGE shoutout to the irish lads in the taxi at A Le Coq Arena that sorted us with a spare ticket for nothing!!! Contributed to a whole day that we could barely believe what happened!! fair play! Edited by swimmityswim - 15 Nov 2011 at 5:32am |

Met a few lads in Belgium on the way over who bought two tickets in the Irish section off some absolute scumbag from Derry for 80 Euro a pop.
Given that this chap - or someone he knew well - must have been to a couple of away games at least in this capaign it's absolutely bang out of order to be doing that. Love it if the FAI found out his name and banned the c*nt from any future allocations.

We paid 100 a pop. Nearer the Irish end than SD84 and one level higher. No trouble getting in though it took about an hour. Plenty of Irish in the queue and always a roar when someone got to the stairs. Bit of grief from a couple of locals when tricolours were draped on the railings and throughout the game. All ended well.
Some of the blokes who also got tickets from our tout were refused entry. I guess they wore colours. We had our Eesti scarves on from No Name. Enjoy the game in Dublin tonight. BinM |

Out of curiosity, how many on here bought tickets from touts? Two of us paid €150 for a pair, ended up right behind the Irish dugout. No difficulty with colours and there seemed to be plenty of Irish in the area.

TRAVELLING Irish fans are being offered tickets for tonight's match against Estonia for up to 20 times their face value. And one resident Irishman has received death threats -- and had to go on the local television news to explain himself -- after he was spotted buying 100 tickets last month. Although the price on the tickets is just €16, newly-arrived fans trying to secure a seat were last night being quoted between €100 and €300. The FAI received an allocation of just 1,400 tickets for the 10,000-capacity A Le Coq arena. But members of the Green Army unwilling to shell out over-the-odds prices for the tickets are resigned to watching the game in the city's Freedom Square. Threats Dubliner Patrick Doherty (31), owner of the popular Molly Malone Irish pub in the city, said competition for tickets had reached fever pitch -- he even received death threats from angry Estonian supporters after scooping up 100 tickets for prizes in a Halloween promotion. Eventually forced to hand them back to the Estonian Football Association (EFA) Mr Doherty said he had to go on the six o'clock news on national television to explain the situation. The incident, three weeks ago, which bar staff later dubbed 'Mollygate', was sparked by fierce reaction on an online football forum after the bar owner was seen buying the tickets. "I was sitting at home and looking on the internet which said any Irish fan in the Estonian (end) will be raped," he said. "I told the (EFA) that they never said anything about segregation. "I had earlier gone down and got 100 tickets to give them out to Irish fans at a Halloween party. "But we were getting so many bad threats because I was seen buying the tickets. They said they were going to tear down the bar." In a bid to stave off any potential trouble he agreed with the EFA to hand back 80 of the match tickets. The 80 tickets were later reissued by the authorities to fans who have attended regular games. The other 20 were handed out by Mr Doherty through a Facebook raffle. The A Le Coq Arena has a maximum capacity of just 10,300 -- one-fifth the size of Dublin's Aviva. The FAI were allocated 1,400 tickets, and received 5,000 requests with the spoils eventually ending up in the hands of those with proven track records as travelling supporters. Some fans arrived with tickets already secured for the Estonian end. This is despite repeated warnings that check points will be established, with non-Estonian supporters being turned away from the Estonian sections of the ground -- no matter how much they had paid for tickets. |

It was mainly for this reason that myself and GreenGooner decided not to go over having missed out on the ballot as we felt that thousands would travel, given the myraid of inexpensive options to get there. I didn't fancy paying hundreds for a ticket and I would have felt a bit privileged if I'd gotten a ticket ahead of a regular away attendee. Have they set up any fan zones where at least the game could be watched on a large screen? |

3,000+ I reckon most we have met have no tickets
Any of the regulars in this campaign seem to be sorted but many I know from old still looking Met a local guy I know through collecting programmes and he goes to every game here incl one of the 70 home fans at the u23 game (no away fans) between us a couple of years back and he has no ticket and will be watching on tv. He queued and missed out when they went on sale and since then not a sniff. |
