Anyone planning on travelling or has booked throw up your plans!
Going for 6 days, flying early Monday 13th from Dublin with Ryanair into Paris for 3 nights then train to Bordeaux. Bordeaux for 3 nights then fly home early Sunday 19th to Dublin.
Accommodation looks to very sparse around Bordeaux, looking into Airbnb, looking to be around £600 for the 3 nights in Bordeaux, haven't looked at Paris accommodation yet.
5 of us going, craic will be 90
Sure to be a brilliant experience.....
worth saving for......
Unfortunately one am going to miss out on!
Saturday June 11th to Tuesday 14th for 200 blips return....decent central accommodation for 130 for the 3 nights so happy enough. Can't make Bordeaux and Lille due to work commitments sadly.
Made it to Tbilsi, Glasgow and Warsaw in the qualifying so I did well enough.
Belgrade booked for next September already 8)
How long ago did you book your Paris accommodation? Paris an absolute beast size of a city not sure where will be best to stay or to swall at
It doesn't matter. The Metro is brilliant and cheap - you can get to anywhere from anywhere, there's a station near you wherever you are, trains run every few minutes and Paris is not that big area wise.
Heading to Bordeaux the night before the Belgium game. Back on the Monday. Like a child I really can't wait. Booked accommodation through airbnb. As well as a serious amount of alcohol I wouldn't mind touring the local vineyards orddoing a bike tour. Just to say I'd seen more than the inside of a pub!

Belgrade is a great city for a few days
I was in poland and my liver hurts thinking about it...
We have season tickets but I will only go if it's more civilised this time as getting too old for that lark!
I've booked the Eurostar from London the day before the Sweden game and 2 nights accommodation in Paris. From there, the train to the Bordeaux region for 6 nights(potentially 2 different bases atm) then fly up to Lille for a few days. I'll stay for as long as we're in the competition. Hopefully it's as enjoyable as Poland but more memorable.
Friday 17th June Belfast to Luton, Stansted to Poitiers. Staying in Poitiers for the weekend and train up and back for the Belgium game on the Saturday. Back home on the Sunday evening. 10 going so far, quiet enough trip I would say ;D
Everyone registered for tickets?
Regarding the internal French trains-can you bring your own drink on to them?
5 of us are going, each of us have applied for 4 tickets for the 2 games we are there for, also got a mate who isn't going to apply for them too-fingers crossed we get sorted

Agreed...12 days on the trot last time, wasn't right for a week after I came back.
Bogball...I'm staying on rue des cannettes...in Latin quarter. Had free cancellation accomodation booked in every host city before the draw, my friends and going onto La Rochelle and Lille after.
I'd avoid anywhere around gare du nord train station if ye can...absolute kip.
Considering going to lille from 22-27th June. Would get the 3rd game and potentially a 2nd round game if things go well
Will tickets be hard to come by?

Ha I was thinking the exact same, the memories of Poland have made me only book a weekend to Bordeaux this time. Booked a 8 bed villa through airbnb £80 per night each. Flights to Biarritz via Birmingham from Belfast for £160.
Looking an aul jersey for when I head out to Bordeaux. Was going to get one at Christmas but I think they're bringing out a new one. Anyone heard when it's out if at all?
Think I read something somewhere about the new jersey not coming out in March-maybe drop the hint for a Valentine's day present!!
Yeah think new home kit is out in March
Current home kit on sale on the FAI website for €30, the old away kits, training gear and leisure wear also on sale

260k tickets applied for and only 25k to be given out. Going to be a lot of disappointed people!

No sympathy, bandwagoners will miss out. If you've a good away record or member of club/supporters club you will be fine.

Is that how it works then? I didn't see anywhere that you stated number of previous games attended etc

You had to add your FAI season ticket number if you had one during the applications.
Great to see them qualify but by God they are hard to watch.
There seems to be a lot of price gouging
There for 14 days, me and mate, based in city centre apartment in Bordeaux and flying to Paris for night and back and then onto Lille for two nights via Brussels. Everything booked, just sweating on the tickets (season ticket holder and Fans Direct member, only away game missed in last three campaigns was Bosnia play-off, so hopeful of at least one ticket from FAI for all the group games)
Was at the Gibraltar, Scotland and Germany game but I'm in the same position as someone that's been to no games. Fingers crossed
Any news on tickets for anyone? Few NI fans saying today they were sorted.

Aye a few OWCers sorted here in work. Well UEFA has taken money from their account. Maybe Plating filling his boots.
Yep have heard that. Any news about ours? Shouldn't be long now although not getting my hopes up due to the numbers
Nothing yet-fingers crossed but

Supposed to be this week all right

Looks like we're up tomorrow
Has anyone seen any money coming from there account yet or got any emails today?
No joy for me yet.
Will the money come straight out or will Uefa email to confirm?
Money straight out and notification from Uefa the next day is what happened for the OWC fans I know.
No word for me yet either!
Don't have onlin access to my Credit Card so I've been logging onto the application screen on uefa all morning hoping that will be updated. All I can see are the tickets I applied for under 'Check your application'
Seems to be happening for a few people today but nothing so far for myself >:( >:(
Sorted, would have been fairly disappointed if I wasn't considering ticket history.
Hope ye get sorted, like AI tickets..always come on stream closer to game. Wouldn't panic.
Well that's a load of Horlicks anyway - just got a mail saying I was unsuccessful in my ticket application >:( >:(
No tickets for myself - totally understandable though as I'm a bandwagon supporter.
Good luck to all the true fans that applied.
Ticket Portal opened there.
Should be fun but could be the last chance of getting a ticket
Read somewhere that England FA sent some tickets back to UEFA for their pool games as they couldn't sell them.
Reckon anyone in Paris in particular for the game will pick one up handy except if security reasons don't allow it (which probably will be the case the more I think of it).
