Seems to be a rumour doing the rounds that if yer goin to the match wednesday you have first dibs on tickets for the play-offs, which is only right i suppose as you wud of bought tickets for Italy game aswell. Hopefully this is true cos i'll be sorted so.... Anyone confirm this?? Links etc..
Id post a link up but there is no copy and paste im college. Just head in the new news on the FAI site and its about the 4th one down
Yeah its sound. Smart too because if they hadnt id say the turn out for Wednesday would have been very poor!
Hope they return stub as keep all my stubs, but glad the FAI are doing something progressive! Part of block booking anyway but glad to have this game sorted before the rush!
If your part of block bookin you wont need to send off your stub you will get your usual ticket anyway
On a block booking also. I don't think this is an exercise to reward loyalty, its a way of the FAI getting as near a full house as possible on Wednesday. Someone could have went to all the home games except Montenegro and not get one, hardly rewarding loyalty. Are the Seeded teams going to getting the Home leg second? I would not be suprised what Platini and them shower have up their sleeves. Personally I would love to get France and knock them out.
As far as i know, this is drawn also and it is not given to top seeds from what i remember of FIFA's press release http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/federation/bodies/media/newsid=1109930.html#key+decisions+reached+rio Furthermore, the procedure for the draw for the play-offs in the European zone, scheduled for 19 October in Zurich, was approved. Teams will be seeded on the basis of the next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, which will be published on 16 October. A draw will also be conducted to determine the home teams for the first legs.
From what i can see Johnny you'll only need to send in your stubs if you bought your tickets from ticketmaster or from the fai shop. If your on the original block booking or joined it since we moved to Croker you'll be fine and won't need to send in your stubs. Just looking to sell off what tickets they have left to fill the place on wednesday.
i wouldnt say fair play at all, we r on block booking aswell so would have been sorted, but delaneys money hungary plan backfired with the italt/monty tickets not selling out and insted of reducing the already ludicris ticket prices , he has tried to save face in one last desperate attempt to get the number up for what we all know will be a dire turnout. The fai "loyalty" plays into the hands of the bandwagoners who only have monty tickets cos they had to get them to see the italy game they should use georgia as the loyalty match, then we would get an accurate portrait of the genuine fans
