One other key thing: if you are applying for the last group stage game in Dublin, remember it will be at the same time as the one in Bilbao. God forbid we were playing Spain there then: you'd never shift those tickets. Whoever is playing here then would obviously not be a seeded team, so not a big draw for neutrals, even less if we are playing at the same time.

I really can't see UEFA putting any of the host nations at a major competitive disadvantage by playing their final group game away to another host nation

Also on your point UEFA will want to fill these stadiums as best as possible so it would be stupid to schedule on Matchday 3 a game at the Aviva kicking off at the same time as Ireland are playing in Bilbao, or having a dead rubber at Hampden while Scotland are playing England at Wembley etc.

I would be confident that away games for any host nations will be scheduled for Matchdays 1 or 2

Read back this thread and am totally lost as to what to do now!! Thumbs UpBig smile

Not had time to look at the UEFA application thing, i hope to get to Georgia as well as having been in Denmark and have season tickets so hopefully I'll be ok to get FAI allocation, but feels risky not to apply here too?  

But date clashes and rule about not getting tickets for 2 games the same day has my brain fried at this stage.

The way the random draw is structured, there is nothing to stop anybody applying for tickets to games on every day as you don't make any commitment to pay now, is that right?

This is going to massively inflate the draw numbers - I can actually see a lot not being taken up in this round (assuming they do the draw once only) with people firing in all sorts of random applications now and deciding later not to take them up when they have to pay. Might not be the case for Dublin but definitely other cities

I applied for tickets earlier today.  Hope I didn't make a big mistake.  Did the 15h June game in Dublin, 20th June in Dublin and 24th June in Bilbao I think.  Ticked the box for all categories. 

Hope I wont be lumbered with a huge bill for games I dont need.  Is there a sell them back to UEFA system in operation if your team doesn't qualify?

I thought that but my reading is if you apply for every game, if successful you pay for everything in one go or nothing. You can’t cherry pick, so doing your plan could leave you with a huge bill. The application process generates a total charge for each application.

I think that’s the best option.

Will have a pop at the cheap ones for the final too.

Would there be any difference between applying for cat 2 or 3 in terms of increased chances? Was thinking less people might apply for cat 2
They've only gone and done it

Your best chance will be CAT1 which has the large majority of seats.

Then 2

Then 3

Definitely but the cost of Cat 1s is ridiculous.  I think they'd be impossible to offload if we didn't make it.  

Applying for Cat 2 is not so bad and does increase chances over Cat 3.

As someone said earlier, even if Ireland do qualify, selling half the Aviva at €185 a ticket, We barely sell out for playoffs/Germany at home at €70 a pop. 

Buying €185 (or even €125) tickets when we've about a 30% chance of us being there, not for me.

Can you not remember people paying €300 in Bordeaux? A lot probably haven’t been to a game since but the Euros puts some people mad

Was that when we were guaranteed to play there? If Ireland had already qualified people would pay it. Nobody is going to pay that to watch a random match in the slim hope we qualify.
Most would rather pay nothing now and double in the eventuality that we do.

Yeah you pay straight away if successful, from other posts though if we qualify and aren't in Dublin on a given day and you have a ticket for a game in Dublin then you can get a ticket for our game say in Bilbao, I could be wrong but that's my understanding.

Just going to wait for the follow my team / fai allocation if we get through.

There was massive demand for Denmark home in 2017.

I believe selling out the Aviva at €185 (most of the tickets as everything between the corner flags) will be no problem if we are there.  However if we don't make it Poland, Northern Ireland and Wales just about are the only ones.  The Rof16 game should sellout to England fans.  

Poland are on course to be a top seed so cannot draw Spain who also seem likely to be one.  There is a good chance we could end up in the same playoff as Wales and Northern Ireland which would help demand for Dublin as the winners would most likely be drawn here.

If applying for any tickets be prepared to use them or forfeit the money.  Most games in 2012 in Ukraine were on the portal for the first half of 2012 non stop.  No chance to get your money back.
I expect many games to be like that and then massive demand for others.

f**k it anyway I went balls deep and applied for 3 x CAT 1 tickets for the Dublin matches. I only have 3 aways from the 9 listed on the previous page  so don't feel confident I'll get sorted with FAI allocation. Will worry about the Bilbao match in November/December ballot. 

Regardless I'm still going to the matches in the unlikely event we don't qualify.
