And if we make it to the tournament, you'll basically have to be a season ticket holder to get tickets, especially if we were to (somehow) end up with a game in Kaliningrad, the smallest stadium and the easiest to get to. It is pricey, but if it includes two qualifiers and a playoff, then they're grand prices for that alone, effectively €53 for a category B ticket (as opposed to €50 + booking fee off ticketmaster), with all the other games added for next to nothing. -------------

| The season ticket has been great, but they should really tie it up as a 2 year thing - you'd then get an entire qualifying campaign out of it, and this lopsided schedule wouldn't be an issue |

Would you pay €320 for it though? Not sure all season ticket holders would. They don't want pathetic crowds for friendlies, which is what would happen if friendlies weren't included in the season ticket. -------------

East and West Lower - Category A South Lower, East and West Upper (front ~25 rows) - Category B South Upper (all rows), East and West Upper (back rows), 114 - Category C Not sure about the North stand - there won't be season tickets there anyway. In terms of value / view, the front few rows of the top deck, East and West, are the best bet. However, there aren't many season tickets available in those sections. -------------

 Think some of them cat B areas should really be cat C (like 113, 115 etc) but all in all its great value for the peace of mind having a ticket for all games. I'm currently in 115 might try move into 114 as I usually be in it anyway for games ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

| Have had a student season ticket in 115 for years, 3/4 seats over from SS. Looks like they are putting my ticket up from 90 to 160 this year unless I move to 112 (student section). Surely that can't be right, is it? |
Posted By: greenforever

Your ticket probably should have been in 112 Email them and ask Worse case just walk across sections. For €70 or about €14 a game worth it for a poor student I'm sure  ------------- I know nothing :-) |

So in my experience, they don't sell the best seats in the house on ST as they know they'll sell them individually. If they allowed you to use the seat picker I'd be more likely to buy.

Posted By: manchesterbhoy
Date Posted: 03 May 2017 at 8:28am

€120 to €170 this year, i dont do too many friendlies so i think a move to a cat c ticket or downstairs to the singing section is in order for this renewal but will renew in one way or another it is still decent value if you use it for all games plus had no issues with france tickets last year, i am surprised there isnt more on it one question is do supporters clubs get better rates on the ST and how would it affect travelling to aways?
|
Posted By: SuperDave84
Date Posted: 03 May 2017 at 8:34am
|
SCs don't get better rates; at least the individual members don't, although the club may have incentive deals with the FAI if they sell a certain number of tickets. I imagine any incentives go back to subsidising club activities, though, like buses to games and that sort of thing. SCs come in for a bit of criticism on here but one small example aside, there's nothing to suggest that they don't do the best they can for their members and use their resources appropriately. In terms of aways, it gives you some priority on tickets. However, for Austria last year, you basically had to be a season ticket holder and have had a history of going to away games before you got a ticket at all. Apparently there were season ticket holders turned down for that game, because they had no away history. That's very much the exception, of course, but I imagine the same thing will apply for the Wales game, especially assuming something is riding on it (which very well may be the case). Simply being a season ticket holder is going to do you no favours for that one. -------------

Really?? I hadn't heard that. For the record, I have a season ticket for the last 5 years but I hadn't been to an away game in years (although I went to the Euros) and I got Austria tickets no problem at all.
|
Posted By: SuperDave84
Date Posted: 03 May 2017 at 9:49am
|
Yeah, apparently a very small number of new season ticket holders (as in, who had just bought in summer 2016) with no away history were turned down for Austria tickets. The fact you had a ticket for multiple years obviously meant you got tickets. -------------

| I've done the ST thing since the scheme began. It was a no-brainer for me to renew each time. You retain the same seat with your mates (upper East towards the front), you never have to worry about picking up a ticket for any home match, and I like going to all the games regardless of status anyway. It works out at good value when you average it out. |

I think I may invest again this year I had the block booking for a few years and a ST for one year.Buying again my be a good incentive to go to a few friendlies. Is FAI cup final still included ?
|
Posted By: SuperDave84
Date Posted: 03 May 2017 at 5:49pm
|
It has been the last few years. To be fair, it's a decent deal, and it increases the attendance of the cup final, if nothing else, among plenty who might not go otherwise, plus with all season ticket holders getting up to premium level, they sell a few more pints, and have the stadium look fuller on tv (especially because they tend to keep the top deck empty). -------------

Going to get the season ticket this time around after skipping the last one. Bought tickets for all games on the last season ticket apart from Wales and Iceland so would have been my money's worth (and I wouldn't have missed out on a ticket for Wales game). Can you pick your seat for your season ticket? |
Posted By: Hickster74
Date Posted: 05 May 2017 at 8:45am
Definitely worth it. As far as I remember, the first time you buy, once public sale opens, you can use the seat map to pick seats. When renewing you can only renew the seats you already have (online at least) but then there's a window to swap seats before/during the public sale once all free seats are known following non-renewals. |
Posted By: SuperDave84
Date Posted: 05 May 2017 at 4:37pm
|
If you are buying for the first time, there may be some merit in waiting until after the end of the renewal period, when existing seats that are not renewed open up for relocation. There is the chance you'll miss out on a good seat in the meantime of course. What may be the best option is ringing the ticket office for advice. If it is possible to select a seat now and pay for the ticket, then see if better seats are available come the end of the renewal period, and move at that stage, then you would have the best of both worlds. That might not be possible, mind. -------------

No worries, cheers. She's away at the moment, so will have to call back. One last question, and I think I know the answer but just double checking. If I renew my tickets and buy one somewhere else, they can re-seat us together after renews have closed? I guess the risk is that we'd not be in 114 or 115.

There's not much point yet. Everyone who has a ticket is entitled to renew where they are; once the deadline for renewal has passed, others will become available. From experience, it's not many. I don't know if you can renew where you are now, then ring up when the deadline passes, and see if better ones are available. You wouldn't want to lose where you are simply because you were waiting to see if better seats became available. -------------
