    Does anyone know how many loyalty points will be required for this one? If it is in the Aviva our allocation would be pretty decent I think. I have about 200 points which is hardly enough for the away end but don't want to sit in with the Rovers fans.

    All depends on the venue which has still to be confirmed could be RDS and not the Aviva

    If they play it in the Aviva, tickets will surely be easy to come by.

    6PM is great really cause you could get home after the match without it being crazy late.

    I would imagine it's going to be far from a full strength team as it's the last game and you would hope that we'll have sown up first place but oppurtunity's like this don't exactly come around often.

    I'll be there with bells on. If it is the Aviva (which i think it will be) I don't see tickets being a huge problem.

    Have you ever been to a football match? This is a competitive game, not the GAA. Dressing your children up as Spurs fans and sitting in the Rovers end would be dumb.

    They have named the aviva as their ground for these games, though their chairman was on tv3 news saying they would prefer to play in Tallaght. Hope at least the spurs game is in the aviva,it should be really easy to get tickets for it, hope we can get seats in spurs end:D

    There can't be 50,000 Rovers fans out there, right? If it is to be held in the Aviva will a portion of the tickets go on general release? Anyone have any idea as to when they might be on sale? Can't wait for this one.

    Lads if i'm not mistaken i think you can block book in the aviva. just incase any 1 doesn't want to sit with the rovers fans . could be a good idea having a few of us together

    I wouldn't be so cocky about getting tickets. Look at the teams in the group. Which game will Rovers fans and anybody living near Dublin want to see. Also look at it from the point-of-view of Spurs fans in London. Last year they went to Milan, Madrid etc. Big let-down when you look at the group etc but if they go to one game I reckon that many of them will aim for Dublin: great city for fun, ferry, cheap to get to etc. There might be a high cut-off point on the tickets. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    I honestly can't see it anywhere near selling out. All other things being equal we should be through and Rovers should be out by that game.

    With the competitive edge taken off it I just can't see as much an interest aa there is now.

    I don't have a membership so I'd imagine it's Looking like in with rovers fans.

    it will cost Rovers 600k to hire Aviva for 3 games.
    Assuming they sell 30,000 extra @40 Euro that's 1.2M plus whatever extra they sell for other 2 games. Financially its a no brainer.
    If i were them i would sell Spurs plus 1 other game to get a ticket for Spurs game!

    I hope they don't.

    I despise Rovers but they should do what is right for their fans, not ours. They have an emotional attachment to Tallaght after all they went through to get in there, it would be a shame to abandon that for the sake of money. They'll make more than enough in prize money and TV deals anyway.

    Except €40 a ticket is more than twice what Rovers charge their fans for league games, and €15 more than they charged for the Juve game last season. They aren't run by Daniel Levy, they wouldn't want to rip off their own just to rip off us lot :D

    If it stays at Tallaght I've very little chance of a ticket but all the same they should do the right thing for their fans.

    I hope they do, because im being selfish and I want to see the game, and I probably wont if its in tallaght.

    Emotional attachement to tallaght, cmon man, you sound like a hoop now :D , they say they have an emotional attachment to Milltown, Ringsend and a few more places, sure it's still a council stadium afterall ;)

    Yeah the ticket prices were quite reasonable for previous big european games so i wouldn't think this will be any different, I could be wrong though.
