Ireland Ticket Information Thread

awec · 2016-12-05 16:14:03

This is a common subject at this time of the year, so here is a sticky thread with information for people looking for it. Someone suggested this sticky, I thought it was a good idea.

Whats the best way to get rid of tickets nowadays? I tried adverts and donedeal but the ads were taken down pretty quickly.

Viagogo looks a bit dodgy. Ive paper tickets so I have to deliver them to the buyer? They are for the Wales match on Saturday, so time is short.

I accidently took the insurance cover, but it seems they dont make it easy to get a refund via this route.

Where are your tickets for? what section..

Toutless is class, used it many times since 2013 for mostly GAA games but concerts as well.

Always genuine people on it, they don't allow anything above face value.

Is the supporters club worth buying into for 6N tickets?

No. It used to be but its now done by a ballot to all members (even ones who don't opt-in) for a presale code (not even tickets) and I only knew of a handful of people who got a code and then got tickets.

I agree, I didn't renew this year after not one of a group of us managed to get even a presale code never mind a ticket. I had always managed to get tickets in previous years until the ballot was brought in.

There's loads of ways to go to Paris, I've done it via Zurich in the past. Tunnel from UK, fly into regional city and train, fly from UK... Think outside the box

Direct yeah but there's normally good deals via Franfurt (Luthansa) or smaller provincial airports in the UK (cheap connection flights with Ryanair).

If you want cheap flights to CDG you literally need to book the same day the fixtures come out.

€250 isn't that bad with Ryanair. Beauvais is a little out but not too bad.

I can't seem to buy tickets on the website. It keeps dumping me out when I try to checkout.

I’ve booked flights to Brussels last weekend. It was €60 return to fly out on the Friday and back on the Tues. It takes just over two hours to get from Brussels Airport to Gare du Nord in Paris on the train so pretty substantial savings for relatively little inconvenience.

Maybe try this thread, its the one with people who are traveling https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057836197&page=105

You could also try the likes of Killester travel or one of the package companies sometimes they have spares and will have people over there with their tours

And not to have to pay ticketbaster fees! More tickets seem to have been added today. Behind the posts for €40 (and no fees!) is a great price.

There was a Facebook page where a giant swap meet up was planned. Think it was Friday afternoon so you've probably missed it now.

I know my friends got sorted so there is hope. Good luck

Any idea when 6N tickets go on sale? I was in the supporters club for last year but had no luck in the ballot for the England and France games. Haven’t heard anything yet about renewing or the ticket sales. Would be more hopeful of getting sorted this year with the extra game and not as high profile opposition.

An email is usually sent out late Nov, early Dec. If you haven't renewed I would do so, as they tend to lock renewals the week before the supporters allocation is released. That said last year was a bit of a disaster and it doesn't seem like many got tickets through the ballot at all.

Usually they will email you when you are due to renew, though I noticed that didnt happen this year, so worth checking
