The tickets will be electronics so I don’t see how people won’t have them before travel. 

It is fairly poorly organised by the Greeks though. I suspect they aren’t issuing the initial batch as they may move the location for Irish fans if more tickets are being allocated.

You'd miss the paper ticket. Was a requirement to print the ticket for Ukraine game in Lodz. Had a bit of hassle with that myself, was all a bit last minute too. Hopefully hear something by tomorrow evening.

Really dont get why people get so worked up. Has there ever been a case where you havnet had the ticket. Worst case scenario has always been collection at the stadium. Never been a situation where 1500 fans have been standing outside because nobody got their ticket.

Yeah, if only there was some way of getting the ticket to your phone after you've left home.

Someone should look into that.  It could actually have loads of useful applications when you think about it.  Like mail, only.......electronic!

Yes sorry my extra panic is that I haven't been successful through FAI and fully relying on Greek FA giving extra tickets OR figuring out a way to get one via alternative methods.

I didnt get my ticket emailed out for the Luxembourg game until like 1am the morning of the match and it went into the spam folder... Be grand! For lads panicking who are relying on the greeks to increase allocation its sh*t enough but im sure through one way or another by the time you're over there most will get sorted

I have heard that the north didn’t have tickets 8 days before their Match there last year, could be similar enough this time
