who's flag is green white and gold? certainly not ours
 
Obviously orange.
 
Think i had gold on the brain with all the new gear

Apologies if this has already been brought up but was wondering if the SS is in a position where there will be no regular punters in the area behind? It'll be very important that the SS can stand without constantly being heckled by those who want to sit.

Can I just ask how everyone but 49 on the waiting list was denied tickets for the new stadium yet they somehow manage to grant 1000 seats seemingly out of nowhere for the singing section? Not complaining as Im going to benefit if my application is successful(my dad is also a blockbooker) .   Just think its strange how they were all booked out but now all of a sudden they have 1000 spare for the singing section.  Will the view be good do ye reckon by the way from the south lower? or will ye be able to make out the far window end?

There are obviously going to be a certain amount of tickets available and by relasing tickets through here the FAI risk being slaughtered in the media for ignoring people on the waiting list.
 
They do not have a spare 1,000 tickets as you suggest but are trying to help generate a good athmosphere.
 
The ticket office are in a no win siutuation no matter what they do, just be grateful if you are successful and dont go bragging to somone on the waiting list that may be bypassed to give you a ticket.
I know nothing :-)

I wasnt having a go. Im delighted with what the FAI and GerK and the boys have done in arranging this.  Why would I go bragging if I got a ticket?

There were a lot of dropouts after the recent RDS friendlies. 

This is a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.  They are making tickets available to real fans who in almost all cases will deserve them.  I
suspect many will also be on the WL anyway.

I'd expect the WL to be offered tickets for all games in the end for the next couple of years as there will be little demand from away fans.

I'm on the Waiting List. Will there be a situation where I'm offered tickets apart from the Singing Section (presuming I get on there) as well as the SS ones. Just wondering as would like to keep on the waiting list as well as getting SS tickets.

I still don't get how one person can be in control of 7/8 tickets???

If its the same 7/8 people who have been getting the tickets for 20 years, then let them put them in their own name and have 1 each. If not, and they are going to different people all the time the its wrong. Simple as that.

The block bookings should be streamlined down to a named person on each ticket, with the exception for a "dad and lad" type scenario. If its 8 lads of 30/40 years of age I think they should manage their own booking. If they can't do that. give it to someone who can.
 
 
 
You seem to have changed your view about people having multiple tickets.
 
 
Surely if you get tickets for the SS you should be happy.

Haven't changed my view at all. I've applied for one ticket in the SS. I have one ticket on the WL, don't want any more at all. That is my point. I'd rather take the SS ticket and keep my place on the waiting list without taking an extra ticket that someone else could use.

My understanding is that if you get a ticket in the SS it will be a permanent BB.
 
 
You will pay annually up front or by monthly direct debit over 8 months.

If that's the case then brilliant. I thought it was on a trial basis, in which case I would like to remain on the waiting list(without taking a ticket, if successful with SS application) as I don't want to lose my place on that if the SS doesn't remain long term.
