You can check your account online back to Sweden away I've printed mine just in case the fai decide to wipe them. The software argument like everything else is bullsh*t and missy your intentions are good but defending the indefensible is making you look stupid .
The whole problem is the 2,100 tickets for the football family which is being used to look after everyone who licks or leaders hole including taxi drivers, have a few pints with him and tell him what a great man and singer he is. As for the 1,400 I don't know when I last missed a game home or away and have a season ticket for years and was a block booker before that and I still don't know will I get a ticket for wales while people could pay €10 to join an sc before Scotland and we got tickets and spares from sc's were being sold at the crisc pub the day of the game. 40% is a farce and at that there is no breakdown as to how those tickets are being distributed. Why do the Crisc need a ticketing officer other than manning the turnstiles with the so called flow in Chisinau. The Crisc have no morals or principles as long as their getting their tickets.

Hopefully it will be a party and we will have already qualified and Wales have something to play for other than pride. You could be right with Scotland the pull of Parkhead but Parkhead holds an extra 28000. As a Celtic fans I wish we had 28000 fans in Ireland the pull of Parkhead is not that great. |

If there was a universal scheme then the TO could say all those with X no of points and above will get a ticket. so those with the required points don't try and source alternative as they know they have a ticket which skews demand And those that don't have X no of points try and source an alternative means Its a no brainer

There were a lot of regulars who missed the 2 games as they were smashed financially or holiday wise.These people 10 plus aways over the last few years and should be in the ahead of a new away fans who has 3 aways to date. Hopefully both can be accommodated. |

Take your point. However we all had to start somewhere. There is always going to be 18/19/20 year olds who want to travel to games who have never been away before and want to go to games that they can afford and in some cases need parental permission. The argument generally espoused here is that they should earn their spurs by travelling to games where tickets are not a problem which generally means some far flung former eastern bloc country - places which are usually expensive difficult to get to and not really for an away virgin. I wouldn't be too keen on my young son or daughter travelling to Moldova etc.

Have you all the points on your account or has your wonderful wife or have both of you got separate points on the one account. My understanding is that who ever name is on the account has all the points. The new system should allow the points to go to the right person. This would also allow SC members to have their own points Hopefully this will lead to one application 1 ticket system. It is because CRISC have a dedicated ticket officer we were able to gather data to make our case for the 10% increase in our Away allocation grouping thus improving not only SC members chances but FD members chances of away tickets. |

80 points an ST per season gives person 2 320 so a person with only 4 years STS is well ahead of any new STH with a few away. It is 20 points an Away ticket. I'm not part of FD therefore don't know if points were allocated for the Euros. The reason is that games were over subscribed and I dont know if they allocate points in these situations. |

can the mods post superdaves two fine posts from the original discussion on here as there is far more interest in the ticket situation for the wales game at the moment compared to the actual match itself.

What's happens when your good source leaves the FAI for whatever reason. If I was in this position I would use both build up my points. I would get Georgia and home tickets or Season Tickets on my own account then use source for Wales. I would join FD or an SC. |

I'd be surprised if points been allocated for euro tickets as tickets were got from different sources (fai,uefa initial ballot,resale portal etc) all which were legitimate ways to access ticket sales Personally would hope euro tickets weren't been counted for any applications not just applications from FD members As for the person with the 4 years ST being ahead of the person doing the aways this campaign well that's another argument altogether. Does this rule go for SC as well as my knowledge is clubs can buy tickets in clubs name and be used by different people per game. Well what's stopping someone who's never been to a game getting a ticket this way? I know from history was plenty of spares floating around a particular bar in Glasgow few years back, always have wondered how could be spares when applications were 4 times higher than the tickets available |

The scheme for distribution ahem is supposed to take in the last two qualifying campaigns but the truth is no one has a clue as its all smoke and mirrors .

I see Scottish FA have released their upto date points total in the last few days. Must be great being a fan that's been to X number of games and know your guaranteed a ticket for next away game, meanwhile we are here not even knowing our points total or number of fans at each point in the table

did somebody mention a universal away scheme ?
Universal
Away Ticketing Scheme Last 10 away games including away friendlies are taken into
account– ie approximately two campaigns
so should be a representative timescale. Scheme starts next WC campaign
. ·
2 campaigns is only an approximation of
the 10 games as there could be away friendlies
- games in London etc would be viewed as away friendlies ·
Essentially 4 years so it should be a
representative timescale ·
If tickets ever became scarce , then friendlies
give new applicants a chance to get their foot on the ladder ·
As Game 11 is added Game 1 drops off ·
Next WC campaign - there is a strong
possibility that at least one game Cardiff will be oversubscribed ·
Clubs will need to forward their
members totals a la fans direct criteria and that is the starting point going
forward Each away game is allocated 1 point , (unless
allocation clearly does not cover demand)
those with the most points are allocated tickets down to where the number of
tickets remaining is less than the
number of people on the relevant points then a ballot will be undertaken ·
Straightforward 1 point no matter where
the location is as long as its an away
game ·
Where demand clearly exceeds supply a
point is not awarded ( tickets will though) otherwise those on the most points
could pull away from those on lesser points only because of the low allocation eg
Andorra and not because of those on lesser points not wanting/able to go to the
game.(however may be looked at if abused ie applications with no intention of
going) ·
Points will only be awarded if tickets are
sourced from the FAI – no home tickets/freebies etc will be considered ·
If implemented the TO will then be able
to state that due to an allocation of x No of tickets those on y points or
better are eligible for tickets – thus negating the need for every man and
their dog to phone the TO in the weeks prior to a match asking for tickets
tying up their resources A Season
Ticket holder will be awarded 2 points per campaign – so there is an incentive
but it doesn’t unfairly impact too much on those who are not season ticket
holders eg on mainland Europe ·
Home games are NOT a level playing
field where as away games are , as practically everybody will need a flight to
get to an away game ( UK away games for UK based fans notwithstanding) however……. ·
Season Ticket holders/Block
bookers HAVE to be incentivized/rewarded
, I feel 2 points per campaign will achieve this and is a compromise on ALL
parties ·
The 2 points shall be added on 1st
Aug at the start of the relevant campaign ie Aug 2012 Aug 2014 etc ·
The maximum number of points achievable
is thus 14 ie a season ticket for 2 campaigns
and the full 10 away matches ie (2 + 2) + 10 = 14. Non season ticket
holders maximum is 10 ·
At the beginning of the third campaign
the first 2 points awarded for the season ticket will drop off to be replaced
by another 2 if a season ticket is renewed, or none if the season ticket is not
renewed ·
Individual home games are not
considered - for a variety of reasons
not least verification Each
request for tickets must be backed up by naming who the tickets are
for ie the tickets can be in one name
but all the recipients must be named ·
Self explanatory - it is not up to the person in who’s name
the tickets are in to decide who gets the tickets – it is the FAI’s. The
tickets must go to the named recipients ·
This should also eliminate the multiple
requests from different members of the same group which distorts the actual
demand and will thus make allocating tickets easier as the actual demand is
known ·
It is primarily to cut down on
unnecessary expense rather than sending out tickets individually ·
Eg Season Ticket No/Cust Ref No 15550 Newryrep – Recipients 15550A
Newryrep, 15550B Mrs Newryrep Random
checks can be undertaken for proof of travel and ticket collection in the
destination city is also an option ·
Self explanatory – may be required if
it appears the system is being abused – points can be deducted if no proof
offered (the Scots acknowledge it is an issue for them) ·
% Ticket collection in a destination
also may be used as proof of travel as well
if timescales for ticket distribution are particularly tight due to late
arrival of host tickets ·
A ticket stub is not proof of travel –
proof required would be hotel bill in persons name ATM withdrawal/CC
withdrawal, boarding pass possibly ·
Where allocation is
low less than a 1000 this must be mandatory and if possible flagged in advance
– Bosnia being a prime example where time scales are tight to a. receive the tickets
from the home association b allocate to those entitled (streamlined if this
scheme is brought in) c. send out to recipients prior to them travelling
(personally have had the last 2 play off tickets collected at TO as didn’t
believe they would arrive in time, Paris arrived the day before I left Cost – To
be honest it should be standard practice for a company to keep its customers
details up to date HOWEVER if a small cost is incurred I would propose a small
increase on the - 2 euro handling fee on each away ticket -
I don’t want to give the FAI an opportunity to get more money out of fans with
a blanket payment which will be a nice little earner, the scots are complaining
about their cost which started off small but is now £25 a year irrespective of
how many games you go to so am linking it to actual tickets – the more tickets
you get the more of an admin fee you pay, 5 aways will be 25euro admin, 2 aways
10 euro etc – 600 bosnian tickets – admin fee E3000 It is by
no means a perfect scheme but it is IMO ·
Fair ·
Transparent ·
Relatively
easy to understand ·
Relatively
easy to implement ·
Relatively easy to administer ·
Not an impediment
to new members ·
In no way
restrictive ·
An
incentive to become a Season Ticket Holder ·
A nicely
balance between the home v away, regular
away v occasional away, hardcore v big game Charlie Finally it would be in an individual fans interest to get their own
record with the FAI, or as a minimum have it via a trusted partner/friend/sibling/mistress
and not rely on the whims of casual acquaintances/some guy down the pub,/a dads
friend 2nd cousin who if tickets are in demand for big games can
withhold them if it suits them. Also if the away game is important, handy to get to, in a glamorous
destination or a combination of all three do not EXPECT to get a ticket if you have no record with the FAI, so DONT
come on here/ Joe Duffy and bleat about not getting a ticket because hopefully there
will be a scheme in place. |
