Its a friendly, it's there for the team. Nots sure we're in position to pick and choose who we play based on how many tickets we get.

On playing France and whether or not it was the right option, when you looked at the list of teams without an opponent for this particular window, France was really the one and only sensible option. Clearly they picked Lille as the most fit for purpose venue as they won't have any of that rugby shite going on there at the time. Surely ticket allocation would have been part of the conversation when the game was being agreed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be Saturday until I know if I have a ticket and then will have to try and make travel arrangements. As a few have said, surely this could have been sorted shortly after the game was announced so we had a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on 13 points and booked flights/accommodation months ago hoping I’d have enough points for a midweek friendly with rumoured tickets priced at €70, hopefully I’ll get a ticket on Saturday morning 🤞🤞🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's something they will likely have to quantify hence the poll they send around, which can't be done before the fixture is announced. From the sounds of it there are specific rules governing away allocations where not mandated by competition rules (e.g 5% guaranteed). In any case, with the late announcement of allocation and 100% pick up. I can see this one going quite a way down the points ladder still.

Some are on 30pts, most mid 20s Only a couple are doing France. I made plans before the France game was announced for after Spain, quite a few of my mates did likeswise and are going to Majorca with family etc straight from Seville. Others are just giving it a miss as next summer will be costly and they are saving the cash. I think most who go will get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I'm fairly sure that anybody who goes to all (or even most of) the home games will get a ticket for this one. Which is the way it should be, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamasRoo85 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I hope you're right that it will go low. I'm on 12. My sons on 11. Go to all home games. Had travel etc sorted for a while, as during school holidays, doubling this up with Disney. Fingers crossed it'll go to 11 and we'll both get. Would be my sons first away game as well. Be gutted if we don't get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed an Ireland ticket last year by a point so went home end. Had I got that I’d have got a Norway ticket this year instead of home end again, and I’d be on 16 points so would get an away ticket for this and 18 points, rather than home again, still on 12 and still having to book flights and hotels while they’re cheap and hoping for tickets. I didn’t even attempt Cyprus cos I had no idea if I could get a ticket, and by the time I’d find out, well, it’s an island and flights would be too expensive Still think the system is fair, but they could’ve surely sorted these particular tickets out months ago?

I'm all for having a go at the SFA but a lot of the host nation are the ones calling the shots. I share you pain, i''ve been in your position before.

Didn't seem to make any difference to their level of celebrating compared to fans who had been in Dublin.
