Lol the fai would never be that smart, we were told the allocation in an email we received on the new fans direct setup which is a points system used to allocate tickets to independent fans. If what a morning laugh look it up lolCheers. You're right, he's just a blogger.
I am still confident that anyone who wants an official away ticket will get one. Did the FAI do a poll with the fans, to see how many plan on going?
Can see either fai or sfa getting as many tickets as they want, Gibraltar have a small home support so worst cones to it can but them tickets online
*edit just see tickets available for the Scottish end on that link now in the upper tier similar to what is on sale for our game in September

Hi just to let yous know if it's the same tweet I've seen on the Facebook page that isn't the offical page for the Gibraltar fa. They are taking the info directly from the tickets on sale on the website ATM, we received email from fai yesterday telling us we have been allocated 9800 tickets for the game against GibraltarThey have approx 5000 in their own stand, plus the mixed zone. However I followed that up with the GFA, as per above:
I asked the Gibraltar FA if they would open another stand for their Ireland game, should demand require it. They replied to say they wouldn't see why not.
Also just to let yous know the stands behind the goals haven't been open for any of the gibraltar games to date and I believe that is down to security issues I.e they don't have enough security for these areas. They may decide to open them for your game as yous will bring by far the biggest travelling support over

Also a very poor stadium for disabled fans. My mum and sister, who is wheelchair bound, were positioned directly behind the goals at ground level with all the media cameras etc in front meaning that she struggled to see. On top of that there was only one disabled toilet which included a trek across the corner of the pitch to get to. They ended up dragging monitors with them as they had to cross over the media cables and what not. Still had an amazing trip but there were a few issues with the stadium especially from that point of view.
Must say the disabled facilities in rest of the stadium are top standard however often did wonder what be like in the away end for a disabled fan.

That's what you always hear over here from touts "anyone selling tickets" or "any spare tickets" know a few touts were asking for around €150 a tickets and apparently were getting it no botherDid anyone on here wait until they got over there to get a ticket and how much did you pay from touts? Many bought at face value?
I heard lots of touts shouts but all were looking to buy tickets rather than sell any.
-
I know I met a few from on here but couldn't tell you who they all were ? great weekend and ever Scotland fan was talking to were so down to earth in my opinion best away support ever to come to dublin
-
Guys want thank yous all for coming on Friday evening. Pity wasn't as many irish fans there but was great to meet so many of you
big thanks to the pipers as well really added to the evening -
Lads if they were kids tickets the light on turnstiles turns a different colour and gives out a different sound. The turnstiles are automatic but will be someone near them to check tickets etc
-
Sounds to me like the school boys ticket fai sell for clubs to take group of underage kids to games. Thats a serious markup they had on them
-
Would say in certain places in Dublin that would probably work ????
-
Mam from the irish daily star contacting me later. He's interested in covering the story as well ?
-
Murrays is decent spot to watch the game if unlucky not to have a ticket. They be showing it on their big screen in the beer garden
-
I presume there will be a good attendance from the Irish ?
I hope so otherwise il be badly outnumbered ? unfortunately a good few of the people from the group live outside of Dublin so won't be able to make Friday
-
Lads the bar confirmed tonight they can provide a private area for us on Friday. They asked for how many attending but couldn't give a figure lol be good to see a few of yous
Have media interested in attending as well and have had pipers say they would come along so should be good
-
Guys the company is a tout site they need to get the tickets 1st before selling them. Often sites like this sell tickets before they have them in hand and I feel this is what's happened here. The demand for tickets has been huge so they wouldn't of got as many as they thought they would
I'd call their bluff and turn up at the office looking for tickets. They have some explaining to do if didn't have enough tickets
-
scottish media are all c***s.I think I'll head along.where in donegal are you from.? Been a few times.
Just a few minutes away from Lifford on the Tyrone boarder.
-
Sounds to me that needaticket.Ie sold tickets thinking they could secure them easily. Now they weren't able to get as many as they needed and trying to put scots off
Have said it numerous times we have had away fans in the home end in the aviva and has been no issues so be surprised if there is any on Saturday
-
The irish daily mirror have said that they will cover this story for us. Hoping to get a few more media people involved in it as well. Of anyone knows of any Scottish media they think would cover it can let me know
-
How far is murrays from merrion square mate as we are staying at the o`callaghan and if it wasnt too far we could maybe nip in for a pint or 2 before the ybig event.
Murrays is at the top of oconnell street lad. What time do you get into Dublin at as I'm going to the ybig event as well. That one of the reasons we went with 5pm so it wouldn't clash with the ybig event. Either way it's about 5 minute taxi journey with light traffic or be about 15-20 minute walk. Can't miss murrays it's at top of oconnell street
-
Guys can confirm this is going ahead at 5pm.still waiting on word about the private area but we be grand without 1. Everyone is welcome and if any pipers want to come along even better. Hopefully can get a good mix of fans at it
-
Maybe the Ticketmaster message relates to Spar employees only? In other words, they maybe have a link and a code to get a ticket via Ticketmaster, similar to the 3 Mobile presale. Why would Ticketmaster mention anything about tickets that are being sold in Spar stores?
Only thing I'd say us maybe ticketmaster had setup that if tickets were still available they would be sold via spar now and no one removed this from their system
-
Guys I reckon this was a piss take on ybig. Before spar got tickets for England game we all received an email letting us know. There's been nothing send out about a general sale via spar for you game
-
Temple bar is decent for a visit and a few pints if you never been in it before but if it's clubbing you looking for then harcourt street is the place for you. Still not the cheapest place but better than temple bar and has night clubs to suit everyone's tastes plus majority of places on the street opened late so around 4am closingIs there a big difference in pricing then?
Only going to be out clubbing 1 or 2 nights so unless its a drastic difference or the other places you mentioned are better we don't mind paying an extra few quid!
-
Hi guys incase some of you haven't seen it on the TAMB Facebook page il put it on here as well. I've been in touch with both Nathan and Conor's families about making the presentation to them of the flags we have arranged
The plan is for this to hapoen on Friday evening (around 5 o'clock) in murrays bar. Have decided to go with it here as it's a place I be in often when in Dublin. They been contacted to ask about getting a private area on the day for us. Also hoping to get a few photographers to attend for the papers etc. Once have more info I will post it up here
Hope to see a few of yous there

Say GTR be best person to ask mate I wouldn't know all areas of Dublin as well as he doesFAO Donegal Lad
Four of us are staying at Avalon House Hostels. Any bars near there you recommend?
Irish Fans Attacked
in Gibraltar v Scotland
Posted
Was some trouble on the Wednesday and Thursday night on the main strip in new town. 2 groups of irish fans were on opposite sides of the road singing songs and more people gathered spreading out onto the road
A car tried to pass and couldn't. The cops seen this and called in backup and baton charged the fans. They forced people to delete any videos that were recorded and we're very heavy handed
I know several people who were hit and they wouldn't be the type to cause trouble
