They don't want pathetic crowds for friendlies, which is what would happen if friendlies weren't included in the season ticket.
I'd include friendlies, slightly less than double the price €300 for a Cat B and it'd be a perfect deal for all.

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.
Last time I went to buy a ST I wanted front row of the upper tier. Was told on the phone that none were available. I ended up buying those seats for every game of the campaign so far through sponsors presales. 

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.

I'm the exact same be looking to move into 114 if possible but if not will just keep my existing seats and pay the cat B price


Spread the love .... head to other areas in South Stand instead of everyone fumbling each other in 114

What games does this include?

Serbia, Moldova, 3 friendlies and a potential play off?

€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?

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.

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.

Oh OK. Didn't realise they were brand new season ticket holders. Thought it was more FAI shenanigans

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 ?

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).

I'll be renewing. Currently in 112. Will probably stay there. Would like a bit of effort made to extend the singing section to the whole lower tier. Get a good few people sitting down in 112

I was planning on renewing the same seats (front row, great for the young lad) but the trumpets have been up and down blocking my view the last couple of games...lost it during Wales game..

Hopefully the twats won't be back. This is the FAI we're talking about but maybe they'll go down the route of tried and tested the reception they got at the Iceland game was awful which is a good thing maybe the FAI will listen for once. 
I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes.
