At what stage do the "Follow My Team" tickets become available to apply for? When all qualified teams are known I presume

It'll be run like a regular away game so I imagine it will be a season ticket plus 'x' number of the last aways in order to get a ticket. |
Have you heard this from a good source or is it a guess?
I don't know and have been trying to find out how it will be done. My best guess is that it isn't decided yet.
It may well be as you suggest. However there is a school of thought that season ticket holders should be looked after as well. So you could offer one game to a season ticket holder particularly if we were lucky enough to have three at home. |
It's technically an away tournament so should be run like every other tournament has been, season ticket and x amount of aways. You can't cater for every FAI season ticket holder who only goes to home games, it just wouldn't be possible. |
The FAI decide how to allocate the FAI's allocation. There is an argument (I don't agree with it) that all season ticket holders should get one game each. This is a historic home tournament.
We could still be playing in Bilbao on any of the 3 matchdays. Likewise Spain could be in Dublin on any of these days. |
You don’t agree that season ticket holders should be entitled to a ticket? Why? surely the most loyal fans should be looked after.

Yes i understand that the FAI allocate the tickets. I'm saying if they follow the way they've done every other game and 2016 then it's season ticket holders with away record and then other season ticket holders which I'm assuming is done by ballot.
I also don't agree that each season ticket holder should get one each. That would be grossly unfair on anyone who's travelled across Europe and to every home game.

Yeah when teams qualify. Think it's December and then after the playoffs for the others

I think he means that each season ticket holder would be given just 1 game each if we were to qualify which would be unfair on those who have excellent away records and they were treated the same as someone who's been to say 2 or 3 home games

Ok, I presume all away regulars will be sorted for all three games, what is there about 2,000 supporters who will have 2 or more away games this campaign. I presume the vast majority of them will have season tickets either trough their supporters club or independently so they should be sorted for all the home games but when it comes to just season ticket holders and there is an over subscription for the games you should be entitled to one ticket for at least one of the games.

A season ticket will be very far from being enough. You'll definitely need a good away record if we do qualify.
I suppose it is possible to apply for tickets for all the Dublin games which is 50/50 to host all our games if we qualify automatically, will definitely have two Ireland games if we qualify and, even if we are away to Spain in Bilbao, there'll be 1/3 chance that you can get the ticket for the Bilbao game without having to sell the Dublin game ticket, if we are away to Spain in the middle game.
And if we don't qualify, then at least you'll have tickets for all three group games in Dublin.

Sorta my thinking too. Applied for all four in Dublin (Cat C), though ticked box to accept higher category. If France 2016 anything to go by, no way will I get all four. Got one I applied for there, turned out to be Wales v Slovakia in Bordeaux, which I was going to anyway whether we qualified or not, so it worked out handily after we did qualify. If we qualify for 2020 I'd be confident of getting tickets for all our group games (and anymore games if we get outta group) due to season ticket and away record, so if there's any clashes for any tickets I get in the ballot I'll try and resell them at face value. I seem to remember a resale portal for 2016, so assuming it will be same this time round.

I'd be wary of that bit. For Euro 2016 you couldn't buy tickets for more than one game per day. Not sure if the same rule applies this time around but if it does and you get tickets for the Dublin game in this ballot and then we end up in Bilbao on that day you won't get one for the away game.

It does, aye. Worth the gamble, I think. No mission of getting all four in the ballot, I'd imagine. Case of crossing that bridge if I come to it

The only one in Bilbao to apply for from our group is the one that's not on the same day as a match in Dublin. That's the middle one... and that leaves you open to us being in Bilbao for the first game, which would mean you go from Dublin to Bilbao to Dublin to Bilbao to Dublin, and that's before the group stage is even over!
I might leave it at applying for semi final and final tickets only, at this stage.

You could always apply for the knockout game in Dublin: the only way we'll be playing on the same day is if we win the group. Which will likely have Spain in it. No chance.

If you are successful in the raffle but then Ireland qualify, can you select to 'follow my team' and what do you do with the tickets you got through the raffle, put them back into the portal? Similar, if our second game is in Bilbao but you had been successful for the Dublin game but now you are heading to Bilbao instead (ticketless even), are you able to sell the ticket for the Dublin game or do you return them or how would it work?

Yeah, loads of us bought tickets the last time for a random game in Bordeaux thinking we wouldn't qualify, just sold them on the uefa portal then when we did

Gotcha - do this just to cover bases to make sure we potentially have tickets to all Irish matches. But if we are away to Spain it isn't set in stone that it will be the second match of the group.

Personally I'm not going to bother doing this. You'll spend a couple of hundred on games we might not be in and if they aren't appealing games then you'll have a hard job shifting them unless of course you plan on going regardless.
If you've any sort of away record it looks like getting tickets through our own allocation might be the best way.
I'll probably just go with follow my team just incase we do get out of the group and to avoid the scramble for tickets.

I know! My point is that that is the only game you can actually apply for certain that you'll not be screwed over as a result.
If you hold tickets for games on the same day as Ireland games, no matter how good your record, UEFA won't let you buy tickets for an Ireland match on the same day.
That being the case, the safest match to apply for is probably the second one, the Dublin game on its own, rather than the Bilbao one. If we are in Bilbao the following day, so be it. If we aren't, and are at home, all the better.
