jts73 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Really? So high that the SFA are still selling tickets and Irish fans have bought hundreds maybe even thousands for the home end. I think that would have happend anyway given the irish do not have a loyalty scheme , even more reason not to give them extra , also the game has sold out for the last two weeks prior to that the only tickets available have been restricted view. So terms of demand and size of game yes I think it is a huge game for us from my own experience (if this mean anything) I will be meeting up with a number of friends who havent been since the Norway game also I know 2 people who are looking for tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So terms of demand and size of game yes I think it is a huge game for us from my own experience (if this mean anything) I will be meeting up with a number of friends who havent been since the Norway game also I know 2 people who are looking for tickets The game has NOT sold out,since we, Irish Fans, got our rejection emails, thousands of Irish fans have bought tickets all over the ground and now there are loads of Irish with spare tickets, as after buying various tickets, then blocks of tickets in the Lisbon Lions stand, where our official tickets are became available. The SFA behaviour regarding tickets has been disgraceful. The CEO of the FAI's comments regarding the SFA are disgraceful This fixture is not high risk, and the SFA should have given the FAI an extra 3/5,000 tickets when it was obviously not going to be a sell out. In normal circumstances I would be advocating the FAI refuse to give the SFA a single extra ticket over the 5% for the return figure, and if any of our supporters are refused entry to the home end on Friday, to refuse all Scots admission to the game in June bar the away end. However the average member of the TA does not deserve to be treated like this, and regardless of what the SFA do, we should welcome all Scots fans with open arms to Dublin, providing we cant sell the tickets to our own fans.

scottcross Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Picked up my tickets from the Celtic ticket office today and they had notices on the counters from the SFA saying that away fans in the wrong sections were liable to be ejected. Notices like that are above the turnstiles of most of the grounds around the country down in england,I should know as ive been hoyed out of a few grounds for being in the wrong end in my time.

WeHateJimmyHill Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 When its obvious away fans are gonna buy home end tickets it daft not to increase allocation. Home fans are still losing out on tickets either way, surely makes sense everyone being in the same end. They should have given the Irish 8000 tickets. Scotland would still have more tickets for there end than Hampden even has seats. Usually at Scotland games any fan trouble is usually Scotland fans falling out with Scotland fans. Im sure the Irish will be made very welcome before, during and after the game. All that said Scotland have no obligation to give more tickets, to hold them responsible for trouble during match is just ridiculious. Delaney just trying to deflect flak for the failures of his own association. After making these comments makes me think we will get a good allocation for Dublin as hes gonna look stupid if he doesnt.

exile Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I have no problem whatsoever with Irish fans coming to sit in our end. As has been mentioned before, we have done it in every stadium in we've visited most likely! (barring perhaps Wembley) Daft to suggest there will be trouble any more than the usual fud who can't handle his drink. Bring on Friday, atmosphere will be electric. The atmosphere will be eclectic!

stactuso85 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Scotland fans falling out with Scotland fans? Happened right behind me at the Georgia game. Nearly a fight, squabbling went on for ages, at least partly referendum-related. I would have ignored it better if they klutz behind me wasn't accidentally knocking me on the heid every five minutes (after flying his flag in front of my view after kick-off and then poking me with the flagstick when he tried to put it away). It did all lessen my enjoyment of the occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
