Yeah, I don't see the reason to have to pick up for games like Gibraltar. The only reason is to make sure every ticket is used; if tickets are not collected before 5pm (ko 6pm remember), then the FAI can distribute them to people who are there without tickets.

Agreed. It would be a pain in the bollix for fans having to go to the team hotel at a set time to collect tickets and be subjected to a strip search by the Head of security when there is likely to be no ticket harvesters anyway as near all regulars will be there. Secondly, it’s not a requirement for SCs so it would actually encourage people to join. And thirdly, there is no way in hell you’ll get every last person down there. A fella will be sent down to collect for others and who is anyone to tell them they can’t take a ticket they have already paid for? It’s just not a runner

Likely not a fd/sc ticket which is what the pick up is for ( though he is hardly charging face value I would imagine the touting ***t)

As a general rule; tickets could be picked up if the face value of the ticket is under €10, isn't oversubscribed and there are less than 1000 applications. For this to work - all tickets wouldn't have to be collected in person; just a percentage, but if this is known in advance it's likely to discourage harvesting. The ticket office could also request flight confirmations off a percentage of applicants. If random samples were carried out on a percentage of applications; the harvesting problem would go away.

Well I suppose collection is also one way to reduce possible touting too (not saying you paid over the odds Panteira

They only look for flight number and name of hotel which doesn’t prove anything.

You are completely missing the point Firstly it is approx only . 500 tickets Secondly - its Gibraltar - you can throw a stone from one side of it to the other , I would anticipate pick up at the ground 2 hours before KO as well not the team hotel but that is for the FAI to decide if it goes ahead thirdly - it is not to combat people harvesting tickets ( why would you harvest a point for a game that isn't going to be counted  ) its to combat people using other peoples records to get tickets - you turn up show ID get your ticket - simple - no turning up to claim a 'mates' tickets and as a bonus any tickets that get uncollected get distributed 5 mins after KO as per the minutes of the last meeting with the FAI I really can see how anybody can object

Well not now due to GDPR, was nothing legally (SuperDave can correct me if incorrect) wrong with them contacting the airline / hotel to confirm a booking.

looks like I’ll be spending my afternoon at the pick up point actively trying to stop people collecting their tickets- sorry, I meant hoping that a few people don’t show up !

What if you turn up, you have 6 tickets on your account and tell them my mates are in the pub and I have paid for the tickets in my name; the FAI aren't not going to give you tickets. They'd be reneging on an implied contract. The other thing is that there can be sweet f**k all travelling to this fixture on other people's tickets. I just don't see it being workable in the intended (well intended I may add) manner you have in mind. If the FAI are going to implement this, they need to announce it prior to taking money for the tickets as a condition of sale, not at the drop of a hat when they feel like it. Then nobody will have any complaints.
