FAI chief: ‘exceptional interest’ in Croker tickets

FAI chiefs have reported exceptional interest in tickets for the Republic of Ireland’s four games at Croke Park this year.

The home supporter capacity of 67,000 is now sold out with all stand and premium seats allocated for the four games.

However, a limited number of corporate seats remain available.

Ireland play Wales (March 24); Slovakia (March 28); Germany (October 13) and Cyprus (October 17).

The Association is installing seats on the Northern terrace at Croke Park in line with UEFA/FIFA regulations and the Wales and German Football Association’s have been allocated — and accepted — all of this seated capacity of 6,500.

Discussions are ongoing with the Slovakian and Cypriot Football Associations regarding their ticket requirements. If they don’t take the full allocation, the surplus tickets will be made available to Republic of Ireland supporters.
