So thinking of going over for the Scotland game on the 23rd Sep 2022 I imagine ticket will be like gold and very hard to come by for the away end. Any help will be appreciated

Book your transport and hotel anyway. Keep an eye on the Scottish FA for general sale tickets. ------------- time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it. |

| So, you have to try and give yourself a chance of being in the mix for a Scotland ticket: Get yourself a season ticket if you don't have one already and try and get to the Ukraine and Armenia away games if you can (both of those unlikely to fill our allocation). That still might not be quite enough for a Scotland away ticket but it would help you for future games moving forward. |

If its over subscribed its season ticket plus x number of away games from the previous 9 undersubscribed games

Sorry that's what I meant in regards to getting home end tickets. Our away support is very average at best and appalling compared to what the Scots bring on their travels. Our last aways where away fans were permitted. Luxembourg 1200 Baku 200 Geneva 3000 Tbilisi 300 Copenhagen (not sure but wasnt over subscribed) maybe 3000

They've only to give us 5% and if they're off to the world cup in November there's not a hope of them giving us 10% The new ticketing system though will ensure that the allocation is done fairly though amongst Ireland fans unlike the previous trip to Scotland.

I know a fella who was in a restaurant with about 10 lads from his job a few months before the the last Scotland game. Delaney was in the same restaurant and one of the lads went up and asked him for tickets for the game in Celtic Park. JD gave yer man his email and sorted them all out with tickets. A few of them had never been at an Ireland game home or away and none of them were season ticket holders. We ended up two sections over from the away section behind the goals with a row of rangers supporters in front of us. Great craic so it was. ------------- Let Christy Take It. |

Scotland away turned into a disaster for me last time. Was one of the many with great away records that got that Friday email telling me I was unsuccessful. Four of us regular travellers then bought tickets in the exec area at hampden on my card, and then I ended up with a further four from the FAI once we had all complained. As I didn't need the four exec tickets, I organised them to be sold for charity and they want for £200 each, nice £800 for charity. I had eight tickets on me day of the game, and was driving up from Cheshire as was working there. Motorway got completely blocked from an oil spill and I moved 4 mile in 5 hours. Problem here is it meant not only did I have to refund the lads who had paid me for the fai tickets, I also had to refund the £800 to the people who had donated to charity, as they weren't going to receive their tickets. Managed to get off the motorway just in time to watch in a boozer as we lost, and nearly a grand out of pocket. Moral of the story - Don't do anything for charity.

True, but this could well be their last home game if they get to the world cup, that'd sell out no problem. We also know how much of a mess ticketing was in 2014 so they didn't have much choice probably but to allow it.

I also bought tickets for the Scotland home end. It is my first game watching Ireland away from home. Surprised to hear that the scottish fans would be sectarian. I thought dark side of glasgow would be to busy supporting England to care about going to a Scotland game! Would travel over to watch Celtic regularly. Id imagine the gallowgate or graces will be the spot for the Irish away support.

I was successful in getting a ticket for the Euro 2020 play-off in Bratislava (22k capacity stadium) with only a couple of away games on my record at that time (before the pandemic f**ked everything up!). I also got a ticket for Luxembourg away (even smaller stadium, 10k capacity) with the same record.

thanks for the replies lads. I'll only have one post-covid away game on my record by the time we play in Glasgow, but I'd have 2 of the last 3 away games pre-covid if that makes sense (Copenhagen and Geneva). I was thinking of just getting a home end ticket and covering up the Ireland jersey if I can't get an away ticket (and now also actually mange to find a home ticket!).

I think the Playoff was 2 aways on the record and even a lucky few with 1 got offered returns. That’s probably the best to work off as I think we got over 2000 tickets and if we get 5% for September we are due a similar number. Uptake on recent away games haven’t been that higher either since covid. Baku, Armenia and Poland all small enough numbers it seems and Luxembourg just about oversubscribed.

| Hi folks, Scottish guy here. just to answer a few questions that i read, there is pretty much zero chance of any trouble in George Sq or wherever else was mentioned. As regards any bother with folk being in the Scotland end, it probably depends on the people, if youre being dicks then there may well be a lot of verbals but its the same anywhere, going into any away teams end is always prone to troublesome moments, ive done it following Celtic and tbh didnt enjoy either time so wouldnt do it again. Also depends on the imnportance of the fixture, believe it or not, Scotland are playing fairly well at the moment (apart from the Ukraine match) so folk are fairly hyped up just now. In general, (apart from the usual unionist knuckledraggers) the Scots look very favourably upon our Irish cousins, the best folk that arent us. but as with any crowd theres always going to be a few bellends. Sorry to hear about any sectarian abuse dished out at the game in Glasgow, Hearts fans are almost as bad as the huns, theyre known as diet huns. I've never heard any sectarian stuff at Scotland games and know quite a few fellow Celtic fans that are in the Scotland travel club, I know there used to be sectarian chants at Scotland games, but that was from the hun end and that stopped about 25 , 30 years ago when the majority of the staunch unionists decided to stop going to Scotland games, its all a bit weird and complicated as im sure you folk will understand but there wont be any bother at all, pubs will be open to both sets of fans, no reason to be bothered about where you drink, youre not likely to wander into a loyalist pub on the south side of Glasgow, doubt there are many in the city centre either, but you'd know the signs quick enough. I could recommend some pubs that are close to Hampden, walking distance. And some some friendly Celtic pubs that arent far away either. |
Posted By: Neilly71
Date Posted: 10 Jun 2022 at 10:57am
| Edit: there are loyalist pubs in the south Side but none anywhere near Hampdem that I can think of, more over by Ibrox, Paisley Rd Toll, or outlying areas like Cambuslang, Rutherglen and theres no earthly reason you'd need to be over there for the game. (and if you in those areas are theres plenty decent pubs where you'd be more than welcome) |

I've been there for a load of celtic games and you'd get away with a Jersey on the day of the match but we would always change or cover them up if we were heading back into the city centre after the game. The blue fellas in Glasgow wouldn't really see much difference between the Irish jersey and the celtic one. Didn't have a great time in celtic park the last time Ireland played there. We were behind the goals 2 sections over from the away section and there was a line of blue fellas in the row in front of us, proper asshole. They could have been mini blues (maroonies) either. ------------- Let Christy Take It. |

I wouldnt have thought any or many pubs would turn you away because you were wearing colours but it does happen, even to Scotland fans. Neutral Glasgow pubs generally have a "no colours" rule relating to anything Celtic / rangers to stop trouble, theyd need to be thick to see Irish fans in colurs and think Celtic but some people are thick, so I daresay the vast majority of fans will have no problems atall but therell probably be someone who gets told to cover their shirt etc... Anyway, lots of pubs in the city centre so if oen refuses theres always the next one. Some bars might just use it as an excuse because they dont want a group of drunk football fans in. Bars around Hampden will be fine either way. Montford and Beechwood are closest but will be busy, 100 acres is a ten minute walk only. On the other side of the stadium Clockwork or Florida Park (if its still open) and Armstrongs are your best bet. Beechings is only 10 minutes away. Church on the Hill will likely be usy. A good wee pub thats often overlooked is The Old Smiddy in Cathcart, its a "friendly" pub and a 15 minute walk away. You wont get any bother in any of the pubs mentioned. Theres no pubs in Mount Florida as it was a dry area, but theres a snooker club with a bar, canny mind if you need to be signed in or no, its called Minnesota Fats. |
