From the FAI website........
| Demand for Euro Championship tickets exceeds supply despite increase |
|
| Date: Friday, 13 July 2007 |
Section: International |
|
The FAI was today informed that the Association’s ticket allocation for September’s European Championship qualifying fixture against Slovakia has been increased by 3,500, meaning that a total of 6,000 tickets are now available for Irish fans.
This increase allows the Association to meet the full ticket demand from account holders received prior to the closing date of 22nd of June.
As the full quota of 6,000 tickets have been sold to account holders, there will be no tickets put on general sale and the Association regrets that no fresh applications for tickets can be accepted.
The FAI are currently in ongoing negotiations with the Czech FA in an endeavor to secure additional tickets to meet the huge demand from Irish fans for the European Championship qualifying fixture against the Czech Republic on September 12th.
At present the allocation is limited to 2,500 tickets, which is the 10% entitlement as per FIFA Rules.
The Association will not be able to meet the full ticket demand from this allocation.
In the event that additional tickets are secured from the Czech FA, this will enable the FAI to meet some of the current demand received prior to the closing date of 22nd June. As such, no new applications for tickets can be accepted.
Applicants for this fixture will be contacted in due course.

that is great news indeed. I'm still praying I get a ticket for both games though!! So if there's 6000 fans getting tickets, just imagine how many paddies are actually going on this trip given the fact that there's always loads headin' over without match tickets....8-10 thousand maybe - it's gonna be some week
