Probably easier to get than a ticket to the Belgium match.

Bit of a random one this but a mate has tickets to France-Albania in Marseille if anyone's interested....think he's gonna look for some diehard French/Albanian fans stuck with Ireland tickets off the general portal first but if that doesn't work and you for some reason are mad to go to that game, he's your man LOL

Someone who goes to all or most of the games even when the team struggles. Lads joining up here in the last week looking for tickets. They've probably never even been to a game before. We saw it here 4 years ago. All these eejits joining up looking for tickets then they never post again after the Euros. As a matter of interest how many games have you been to this campaign?

The amount of gobsites that went to Scotland away and cost a lot of genuine fans tickets was a joke.

You said "You bandwagoners" and assumed that all of us who posted here are not genuine fans. Members on here seem to judge a fans loyalty by the amount of YBIG posts!!! I don't have to list games I have been to to justify anything. I know the "Fans" you are referring to but I certainly m not in that bracket!!!!

No certainly not by the amount of posts but if a lad joins up the day tickets are released and posts 10 times looking for tickets and then after the Euros he is never to be seen or heard from again I will bet my bottom dollar the chap is a bandwagoner and has fook all genuine interest in the team. The amount of lads I personally know who are suddenly going to the Euros having never been at a game since the last Euros is joke. I don't mind these fans going but a lot of them are getting tickets ahead of regular home and away fans. That is not acceptable.

My initial post wasn't aimed at you per se more the thread starter. Wonder will we see him online come September. My guess is he will go back to supporting rugby or GAA once we have a few bad results.

Not everybody who has a low post count is a bandwagon poster. I don't frequent the site. I have missed two home games since the 2009 campaign and excluding 2012 Euros have been to 5 away games during that time.

Do you ever think many of the people who join up are genuine fans who got screwed over with their ticket applications so sign up here looking for advice or even tickets. and anyone who would even consider going to an away Ireland matches in a qualifier for example Scotland can hardly be labeled a bandwagoner. .

Like maybe they don't go to most of the away matches but they most likely went to most of the home. So they're more than deserving of a ticket.

And I'm in 2 minds about the lads who only go for the session but often get their hands on tickets first. Obviously they should be way down the list but I'd much prefer these guys go and we get 40k into the stade rather than just the 5/6k die hards.

In Warsaw we could barely be heard and were drowned out by the poles. Obviously I'd prefer us making all the noise instead. And I'm sure the players do too.

Yeah it sucks they make it so hard for us to get tickets but I wouldn't have it any other way!

I know a good few lads who attend all games home and away who don't post on YBIG. I have a pain in my left one seeing people posting about so called bandwagoners. We all started somewhere. We weren't born with 580 Fans Direct points or a season ticket stuck to our foreheads. So what if a big section of those going to France are going for the craic. If they get a taste for it they may come to realise the craic is even better at far flung qualifiers and, who knows, we may see a few of them in Chisinau.

Load of bollox, TJ. I know plenty of fans who go regularly and don't bother posting on here or other sites but may come on if they get let down as they have nothing to lose by doing so.

Yes, some who do it will be bandwagoners but you can't generalise. How many regular posters do we have on here in comparison to season ticket holders for example? There's 6 lads on the season ticket that have been with me going back to the block booking days in the 90's and I'm the only one that posts on here.

How many looking for Euro tickets on this thread will attend all 3 remaining home games. If your going to less than you are a bandwagoner. Switzerland family ticket €60 cheapest adult €25 Slovakia family €50 cheapest Adult €25 neither sold out. Kids off school for both neither sold out so yes the lads are right there are loads of Bandwagoner.
On the other hand I only joined to see what the craic around Bordeaux and have 440 FD points and secured tickets hardly bandwagoner material So both arguments are right.
As said we all start somewhere so why not Good Friday ?

Hope it's ok to post this here with my low post count but there's a story going around on a few forums at the moment about a lad from Dublin scamming people promising tickets for concerts/matches etc and not delivering. People are duped into transferring the money in advance and then he never comes up with the goods and isn't too quick returning your money

Buyer beware and all that!

Best off selling tickets to friends who you know are to be match goers.Very hard to determine if someone is a matchgoer by number of posts on ybig.

So f**king what?? I know lads that go home and away and dont post here either but they dont suddenly come on here looking for tickets when it suits them. That a bit fooking cheeky. And secondly even of I had spares I would give them to a lad I know who goes home and away not some randomer who joins up on the 16th Feb.

Secondly in regard to the point (whoever made it) regarding getting new fans in after getting a taste of the Euros let me make this point. How many more fands did we have post Euro 2012 than we did before Euro 2012? My guess exactly the same. I dont recall seeing more fans at games. I know plenty of gobsh*tes who were at euro 2012 and never were seen again. Low and behold I see the same muppets applying and even succeedign in getting Euro 2016 tickets! Unbelievable.

Reasons like this are why you should know who are getting spare tickets because you just don't know who is getting them or where they are going .

Get off your high horse and stop being so precious ffs. Nobody is forcing anyone to pass tickets on to any of these guys. The point I'm making is that you're not necessarily a bandwagoner just because you don't post on here.

In any case, regardless of the few f**k ups in allocations this time, there's no way that anyone who travels regularly will end up being stuck, absolutely no chance.

Well this is my point. For example I know eire32 from posting here and meeting him at games. I know he didn't get a ticket. If I had spares I would give him one as I know that he is a genuine and dedicated fan.
I wouldn't be giving some random poster one as I haven't a clue who he is or if he is a proper fan or not. If he's genuine then he must know other genuine fans who can help him out as opposed to using this site to further his own agenda. Personally I think it's cheeky to suddenly pitch up here whoring for tickets having never posted before on here. Most lads who post regularly here have helped out with displays or fundraising and have proven their love for the team. I don't know who this lad is or whether he goes to games or not.

The number of fans going to France is going to be greater than our ticket allocation so naturally there will be large number of fans looking for tickets. If that means joining fans forums and asking, so be it. Do I think all of these should get tickets before fans who have given greater support? Of course not but there is no current way of allocating tickets to the "Correct" fans. if some fans have spare tickets after looking after themselves and friends, why not sell to ppl on here as opposed to the assh**les selling for €300 elsewhere?

My issue is that I feel on here that some members seem to rate fans by their volume of posts on here which is ridiculous. I use here to look at the flights, accommodation, meet ups etc for games and rarely post. I have been lucky to get tickets from here and have given my spares away also.

Nonsense. But usually the fella who has lots of posts is proper fan. I have met nearly all the regular posters on here at games. I only know of a few who post regularly that I haven't met. But if they are posting about the Irish team year round its usually because they have a genuine interest for the team all through the campaign. There's a correlation there.

Yes let them get tickets of their mates. No I haven't met you but I have seen you posting here for years and know people that know you from games so its safe to assume you have some interest in the team Wink

You really are holier than thou. Seriously TJ, get down off your high horse ffs.

Ill tell you something, my second ever Ireland Game was Croatia in Poznan in 2012, i had only ever been to Dublin once to see us take on Andorra before that.
Does this make me a bandwagoner, in your eyes yes. In My opinion no, I was not in a financial position at that stage in my life to be travelling to Dublin for games, not to mind going to away games. I landed my dream job in the summer of 2011 and was really only getting my sh*t together by the time Poland rolled round. So i jumped at the chance and went.
Now that doesn't make me any less of a fan in my opinion, I Always wore my jersey proudly on match days and screamed and roared at the telly as much as the next man, i cried in 2002 when we got done on penalties, and went through all the emotions that everyone else did over the years, But in your opinion i was only a bandwagoner.
Since Poland in 2012, I have never missed a home game including Friendlies, and i have been to Germany 3 times, Scotland, Sweden, Austria, Faro, Warsaw, Wembley, Craven Cottage, Bosnia. And i am currently booked up for France, And also fully booked for Serbia, Moldova and Austria.
So this whole idea you have that we will never keep fans after the Euros is muck, what am i after 2012.

Also just to clarify, i have done 11 of 12 games this campaign and i got 0 tickets for France, YES ZERO!!!. But rather than come on here and bitch and moan like you are doing at everyone, i just got on to the FAI and all the friends and contacts i have made in those 4 years, and i am confident of getting sorted.

So next time you jump down someones throat for wanting to go support his country, just remember that you don't have the faintest idea who your are actually generalising with your bullsh*t.

Keep your sh*tty opinions to yourself, and be happy that there is a buzz around our wonderful squad once more.

Ideally people will get sorted through the extra fai tickets. Even without that, it's my experience from the, last twenty odd years that regular travellers will have enough friends or contacts through the trips to get sorted. I missed out on Bosnia despite my record as I incorrectly thought I'd been registered on fans direct but I ended up with having a few to chose from once I put word out I was looking. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm basically the same as yourself in terms of away games. Before euro 2012, I had only been to a handful of away games. I had only got FAI tickets for San Marino and Wales, and didn't get Andorra or Estonia tickets directly, so the FAI knew me as a home fan only, seeing as I hadn't got any 2010 or 2012 campaign tickets from them. I didn't come on here asking for tickets because I knew there were more deserving fans ahead of me. I put in the hard hours on the portal. I wasn't a band wagoner but I didn't have the sense of entitlement that meant I would come on and ask for tickets.

We definitely did get more fans after 2012 who keep travelling to games (I'm one of them) and first time travellers aren't necessarily going to abandon the team after the tournament but, at the same time, there's a cheek coming on here asking for tickets without even a bit of detail about why you think you should get them.

Oh dear!

When you went to Euro 2012 you were a johnny come lately whether you like hearing it or not. Fair play you stuck with the team after that, but you are most definitely in the minority. I cant name one lad whose first games were Euro 2012 and has been at games since.

I couldn't give two fooks whether you cried in front of your tv in 2002 or whether you shat your pants for Thierry Henry. The lads who go to the most games deserve tickets first. You deserve a ticket based on your record for the last 2 campaigns as I did. I applied for 2 tickets. How many did you apply for and for whom? I don't remember bitching and moaning about not getting tickets. I stated I didn't get tickets but I am confident I will be sorted soon. Maybe you can post up where I bitched and moaned before shouting your mouth off.

Now if you dont like my opinion you can do one pal.

Why shouldn't he or she?

Would you think someone coming on here for the first time with a spare ticket to pass on is also a bit cheeky?

I'm not saying they are likely to be given a ticket but they have just as much right as the next person to ask.

Coming on to give away tickets is most definitely not in the same bracket as someone coming in to smash and grab never to be seen again.

As I pointed out there are lots of lads who have contributed to the forum, the fundraiser nights, the charities, the flag displays and fans matches and put something into the site. I dont mind lads like that asking for tickets. But some randomer who nobody knows whose first post is asking for tickets is very cheeky.

Imagine you didn't know me and I came round your house and asked you for a favour on first meeting me. You wouldn't be too impressed.

I suppose I should rephrase: coming on asking for tickets and expecting to receive them is cheeky. They're entitled to ask; expecting to receive is something else entirely.

Well they are bandwagoners to this forum and jumping on at the last minute in the hope of receiving tickets.

I missed out on tickets and I am very good friends with the people that run a ROI supporters club but wasnt a member of the club. I applied on my own and for reasons the FAI should take the blame for missed out. However I didn't then go to the club and ask them for a ticket as I would have felt that would be wrong. I might have succeeded too had I asked but it would have had a hard neck.

Contribute to the forum before you take from it is my view.

The thing with the Belgium tickets is ... they are scarce but the lads who have them seem to have 10+ . I heard of lads who have 16 but only using 8 & cashing in on the rest of the tickets that will go towards funding their trip !

Well now you can name one lad who has stayed going after Euro 2012, me!

I applied for 4 tickets for 4 lads with 4 season tickets and who have all done 10-11 games this campaign.

No one getting bullied here.Maybe we differ on what we call cyber bulling?

I would class cyber bulling as ranting about homosexuals or calling football fans terrorists .
