Cardiff City Centre wasn't really that big though was it? I remember everyone used to pack into O'Neills and closing time everyone used to split off, I'd always end up on the street with Varsity and the 2 nightclubs on it but that seemed to be only it in Cardiff?

Can you block book tickets for this for about 20 people ? Im trying to organise a trip to this for a club and want to take a coach of supporters . Is it possible to order that many in one section and get them ? |

not sure what maximum numbers of tickets which you can apply for via the Portal is. Perhaps contact the FAI or Welsh FA closer to the date they should be able to give you a better answer. |

For any of the other away games be no issue getting 20 tickets but I'd say be extremely lucky to get them for this game. It's going to be the most in demand game to start with and more so if we still in contention to qualify. Even if we aren't will be large numbers already booked to travel and our allocation be around 3000 if it's played in Cardiff city stadium ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

They at this point in time have already announced the games this year will be in CCFC stadium. Point will be for FAW is that if they going to qualify and know they will fill stadium then 40,000 @ 30 minimum a head is something to grab hold of. Correct me if wrong but when we played France in 2005 FFF were limiting what we could have to circa 10%. They then opened up their ticket applications supposedly for French supporters and found that in the first 2 weeks 2/3 of applicants had Irish addresses. They then took a different view and got a full stadium.

Massive difference, France always play in Stade Francais, they did not move stadiums to accommodate lots if Irish Fans. Scotland would not give us any extra tickets even though the game was not a sell out in Glasgow, Wales will not move this game to give us extra tickets, if they are out of contention, tickets won;t be a problem, but if we are both in contention they will be like gold dust, and they will want to see as few Irish fans as possible. ------------- I know nothing :-) |

Ah but if they are in contention, and they think they can sell 67,000 tickets to Welsh fans, why wouldn't they move it to the Millennium? 7,500 tickets would sort us out in a way that 3,000 wouldn't. -------------

They couldn't even sell out the Cardiff City Stadium when they were top of their group, why would it change now  They sold out Belgium cos why wouldn't you but then it took them until automatic qualification against Andorra to sell out again. When they were top of the group against Israel they did not sell out. Welsh support is generally dire and only turn up when things are going well. In the World Cup '14 campaign they couldn't even get 5 figure attendances ffs.

Well they were playing Israel last September and victory would guarantee there qualification and they didn't move the game, so why do you think they would do it for us? Soccer is not the No 1 sport in Wales, they will not move the game, because they wont sell 67,000 tickets or anywhere near that to their own fans, ------------- I know nothing :-) |

I don't think they necessarily will and I don't think they would move it just for us: but the final game in a group, with a team who just made the semis of the Euros, might well be a big enough game. It won't be clear closer to the time, anyway. The likelihood of both us being in contention for the top two at that stage is slim enough, I reckon. Either Austria or Serbia will most likely be above one of us come then. -------------

FAW have just confirmed their venues for the campaign. All matches will be played at Cardiff City Stadium. However the venues against Republic of Ireland and Austria are yet to be confirmed Worth nothing they're selling their season tickets for £120 as the top price. £80 in the CCS Canton Stand where the Cardiff City supporters like to go. If they choose to stay at the CCS there will be an almighty scrap for tickets.

Welsh FA hedging here, it looks very much like they are adopting a 'wait & see' approach to moving the Austria & Ireland games to the Principality stadium in 2017. They play Moldova, Georgia & Serbia at home this year, with all respect to them, even allowing for increased Welsh ticket demand, none of them exactly huge crowd pullers. To ask another question to the above, they have the opportunity right now to declare they will be playing us (& Austria) in Cardiff City stadium right now, but they didn't confirm it, that would suggest the thought of moving these 2 fixtures to the bigger stadium is very much on the table. And they will likely be in contention too, or at least, won't be out of contention by Sept 2017 when next years rounds of fixtures kick off. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/wales-officially-snub-return-principality-11639666" rel="nofollow - http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/wales-officially-snub-return-principality-11639666 ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Is it not possible they may play in Swansea either? The prudent view would surely be that the game will be played in the smaller stadium and we will get the bare minimum number of tickets. Anyone looking at just one away this campaign really would be advised to pick one of the other aways. Then if we do get an increased allocation it is a bonus. ------------- I know nothing :-) |

Swansea is 20,000 seater. Wales struggled with Millenium (Now Principality) because reality was their results were awful and people didn't want to pay to watch them. Of the 3 games now 1 is on same day as Wales home rugby game, 1 is couple of days after monster truck fest at Principality Stadium and only game where Stadium really clear is when home to Georgia. So despite the hype its understandable why at CCFC ground. |
Posted By: deise316
Date Posted: 23 Jul 2016 at 12:36am
The 'follow the money' view says this game (and Austria) will be in the Principality stadium providing Wales are in contention for spot 1 or 2, which at the very least, mathematically, they should be in early 2017. The Welsh FA could have easily conformed all games for Cardiff City when they released that statement, they didn't, and to me, that tells its own story. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

You're right but on the other hand I'm struggling to convince myself that it's worth the spend to go to every game in this or any campaign when I know there'll be so many one gamers ahead of me in the queue for Wales and I've no way to follow what points I have or where I am in the queue. Why should anyone go to every game in a campaign if they can't be sure of a ticket to the last unless they kiss ass and when they're guaranteed to be overtaken by one gamers? The more I think about it the more I want to cancel my flights and my season ticket...but I'll probably finish the course and then decide to never do it again. It's pure f#cking ridiculous.

Welsh fan in peace. The decision as to whether Wales plays at the Principality isn't just about money. The Manager, coaching staff and some players (including Aaron Ramsey) have all said that they prefer playing at the CCS. Essentially it is a football stadium and it creates a football stadium atmosphere which many attribute as being one of the reasons for our recent increase in fortunes. The playing surface is way better at the CCS. The vast majority of the 'hard core' fans want to remain at the CCS. The FAW's coffers are full following Euro 2016, so there isn't a financial necessity to play at the Principality. Personally, I think that if we are still in it / need to get something out of the game and it is deemed that there is the slightest advantage of us playing at the CCS, the Ireland game will be at the CCS. The FAW have to play at least one football match as the Principality before the Champions League Final in June 2017, after that game I think that we will have a better understanding of what the FAW are thinking. |

Another Welsh fan here  It is difficult to predict which stadium this game will be played in. The regular fans, coaches, players and most people here want it kept in the Cardiff City Stadium, as we feel it is all round more suitable for football and for us at the moment. However, the people who make the final decision seemto want us to move. Of course our group situation will have an influence, but we're not sure which way. If we're in with a shout of qualifying, we would likely have the demand for tickets, but the coaches and players would probably request/demand staying the the CCS as they prefer it. And just to clarify, there is almost a 0% chance of would be moved to Swansea! As for drinking it Cardiff, it's more spread out than some cities I have seen. There is the region by O'Neils, walkabout and Prince of Wales wetherspoons, then there is the region near the castle with Lloyds bar, tiger tiger and other bars. Also, if the game is in the CCS there are a number of bars in Canton nearer the stadium. If I can think of anymore advice I will post it here. Also, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me I here or message me

It looks like your boys at the FAI are pressing us for a 10% mutual allocation and from the last meeting of the FSF with FAW, seems like we will go with it! This will be finalised when the two FA meet this Autumn. The numbers talked of, considering segregation etc: we get circa 4500 you get circa 3000 See minutes here - http://www.fsfwales.co.uk/category/meetings/" rel="nofollow - http://www.fsfwales.co.uk/category/meetings/ |

Not so great news in a way. If you read it neither FA's pushing for the venue to be moved to the Millennium. It specifically said the FAI are requesting 4500 tickets. Depending on where we are in the group at the time when tickets go on sale, on the panic scale Glasgow has the potential to be nothing compared to what this could be

Any idea how many members they have? Anyone who has not been to a fair few aways could do worse than trying this. Hard to judge, the fact that it is a Monday night, and no accommodation available may drastically reduce the numbers. Also there was a general feeling that tickets would be easy to come by for Glasgow, and everyone did get a ticket even if in the home end, the fact that people are already looking at a ticket problem will IMO stop a lot of people booking. Glasgow was a Friday night and plenty of accommodation at reasonable prices. ------------- I know nothing :-) |

A Stadium 1/2 the size of Park head .... so less home end tickets . The only reason the majority got into the game in Glasgow was we bought home end tickets . Monday night will have no impact on numbers travelling to Wales as it's an easy destination with cheap routes . The amount of people I know that have booked it up already is crazy . Also we only have 1 away (easy) next year . I know we have Georgia but you can't do it cheap and quick and this will put a lot off and put more pressure for tickets for Wales . |

Depends which club you join I suppose. Our club will allocate tickets based on number of aways this campaign, so unlikely as we won't even apply for members if it's their only away of the campaign. Most clubs have systems in place for allocating tickets, to the best of my knowledge.

Although it is very humbling to see the interest from you seasoned tournament goers, wanting to join our one-off, once is 58 years, lucky semi-finalists ... Please note, we have 18,500 tournament ticket holders and 29,000 Gold Members already ;-) Also, there were less than 500 tickets open to the general public for our Moldova match, and none at all for the Serbia match coming up. That said, even if you do join our ranks, there is a queuing system whereby first stage priority (for one additional ticket) is given to 2x campaigns tournament ticket holders, then current campaign tournament ticket holders and only at stage 3 to Gold Members. PS - our Tournament Tickets are no longer on sale, as they already cover all 5 home qualifiers (cost between £80-£120) so they are not Season tickets, like your own... |

FAW won't be to take off tickets off General sale. They have their own eTicketing website but Cardiff City ticket office also sell tickets, so if you're living in the UK there's an alternative. But they said half-tournament ticket sales which include matches against Austria and Ireland could come in, which will undoubtedly swell the numbers making it harder to get Home tickets The Canton Stand where the diehard Cardiff City supporters go and the Ninian stand where the recently built upper tier is priced at only £30-£25 per game is absurdly cheap which is why they're bringing the bigger numbers |

If we are BOTH still in contention then yes there will be a huge issue for tickets. However home end tickets for Wales games are not that difficult to source. Belgium last year was no problem for Belgian fans appreciate they have qualified for a tournament since. Another difference from Glasgow is that there were a lot of buses that regularly go to Celtic Park particularly from north of the border that ran for that game. I doubt there are any regular buses to Cardiff for games. Of course you can still book the ferry run the bus, organise break points etc but the logistics become that it more difficult to figure out. |

We have 2 seats left on a 16 seater going from Bristol Airport on Sunday 8th October collecting us off the 14.45 Ryan Air flight. We are returning on the 10th to Bristol Airport @ 17.00 for the 21.10 Ryan Air flight to Dublin. €30 return if we get the 2 more required to fill the bus. If we 23+ we can get at 29 for €25 return. We can organise a bigger bus for return flight if needed as from looking at website this flight is more expensive therefore more popular.Price would depend on numbers |

It's no different than most western Europe destinations. For late bookers it will be flights to the likes of London and 3 hour transfers The ferry to holyhead takes 90 mins and probably 4 / 5 hours by bus with stops etc. And Cardiff has very little accommodation in comparison to Paris Amsterdam Lisbon etc ------------- I know nothing :-) |

I am looking on the laptop and booking dates won't go beyond March. It was the same a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to book! ------------- I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong. |

| Flybe fly direct not open yet Birmingham airport has Train Station which makes it a viable option. Also has a better service for flights home only one from Bristol and that is €108 at the moment |

If Wales home end tickets go on sale before the September games, they'll sell out. There will be four games to go at that stage, so there's no way they'll be out, bar the improbable possibility of them losing their next three games. -------------

Bit of a nightmare trying to get to Birmingham airport from Cardiff. Most train journeys have two or three changes and then a bus to do the last leg. You'd nearly be as well off flying into Heathrow and a train from Paddington at that rate. Will wait and see what price Aer Fungus puts up. ------------- I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong. |

RL it's usually only one change at Birmingham new street which is the main station though two on a Sunday Still prefer it than a bus from Bristol ------------- 'Irish' Songs for an Irish team - no SPL EPL generic sh*te Richard Dunne - 6th Sept 11 - best marshalling of a defence in Moscow since General Zukov Russia V Germany 1941 |

Cardiff Central to Birmingham New St is only 2 hours direct train.Then about 10 mins from New St to the airport station ,trains every ten minutes or less at peak. Its straightforward. |

And provided you set off after 09:30am, the maximum cost of a return ticket is less than 60 sterling. It's not that cheap and there are advance tickets for less but it's not outrageously expensive either. -------------

Looking at the NR site there seems to be tickets usually available for around £20(booked in advance) and the train out to airport is £3/3:60. |

Good few have booked the afternoon flight home from Birmingham on the Tuesday so a private transfer could be sorted. From looking online can get 1 for around £13. Birmingham airport easy enough to get to and should offer cheap alternative for people ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

At the risk of starting another pickpocket panic thread but for the people going straight into Cardiff via train I do recommend having your wits about you down in the Train Station. It might sound a bit obvious but let's be honest, Cardiff City fans aren't the friendliest bunch and I remember going down for the friendly a few year ago there was a massive non-footballing incident in there so it can be disorderly

I've been warned about France for the Euros Rangers fan, Rangers Tribute act fans, Mini Huns (Motherwell)fans,diet Huns (Hearts)fans, Aberdeen fans great Craic Croatia fans best session ever with them raging we were not permitted into their114 for want of a better word. Outside of LR riot only ever seen trouble once outside Swine Castle. One way in one way out from away fans under a narrow railway bridge with f**k all if any Police. Bosnia was supposed to be rough a great away trip. There was no trouble in Cardiff when Belguim played there and there fans make Shamrock Rovers fans look like girl guides. Our reputation precedes us. I can't see any trouble there. Other than Welsh Derby they play English clubs all the time. I'd say they have great craic every home game. |
