In theory yes, but then there will be genuine cases of people who couldn't go for real reasons.  The bit just becomes and excuse fest that would be impossible to sort.

I appreciate there are always a few genuine cases but the vast majority of no-shows never intended travelling.  We've had 50% no-shows for games in Georgia, Moldova & Serbia recently.  The number of tickets sold for Antalya, Cardiff, Wroclaw & Aarhus was pretty much in line with those the numbers in the stadium.  Harvesting seems to be common when we look like we might qualify for something.  

I know of genuine cases of people missing flights and other reasons 

I know I'm tempting fate here as I have 3 separate flights from Dublin to Tbilisi tomorrow/Friday.   

i have had to drop out of this one and accept the penalty being levied, i am citing work reasons as a colleagues parent has passed away and i need to do presentations to those on high, lost £300 on flights but ok on hotel  but i agree with the points above, why didnt they do this for belgrade moldova and tbilisi first time around, it is a bit like closing the door after the horse has bolted

just give us 3 points now 


You can contact them to tell them you're not going and you won't be penalised. And you'll get your €2 back!

no interest in that but i have let them know

And the ticket collection should be per person not per collection. You have five tickets to collect? Grand, where are the five people? It runs a coach and four through the whole thing if one person can collect tickets on behalf of everyone on their booking. 

Edit: of course they can collect them, but no points for the fellow travellers unless they show up too, or at least their passports.

I'll be leaving my passport with the 3 others when they go up, has a border crossing stamp so should be enough

We have to start somewhere. The option wasn't available in Belgrade, moldova and tbilisi last time around. It is now and it's encouraging that's the case. It's an example of supporter's voices being listened to. Small step and still a long way to go but a start nonetheless.
