Tickets for the home leg of Ireland's Euro 2016 play-off go on sale next Tuesday

Tickets for Ireland’s Euro 2016 play-off second leg at the Aviva Stadium will go on public sale from next Tuesday, October 27, the FAI have announced.

The game against Bosnia-Herzegovina takes place on Monday, November 16.

The first leg, set for Friday, November 13,  is expected to take place at the Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica, 69km from Sarajevo but the Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Association have until Sunday, October 27  to confirm the match venue.

Yesterday, the FAI confirmed they have requested the maximum 10 percent ticket allocation.  UEFA guarantees away fans a five percent share of match tickets, but associations may  apply for an additional five per cent.

The stadium in Zenica has a capacity of 15,600, so the supply of tickets is unlikely to match demand from Ireland supporters.

The FAI confirmed tickets will be distributed  based on the Away Ticketing Scheme piloted for the away games against Gibraltar and Poland.

So 55 percent of tickets will be be sold through leagues and clubs affiliated to the FAI, though this figure includes player and staff tickets, Club Ireland members, and Jack Charlton Lounge patrons.

A further 30 percent will be sold to members of Republic of Ireland Soccer Supporter Clubs or Fans’ Direct, based on a points system and 15 percent will be assigned to supporters travelling with the FAI’s official travel partner, Abbey Travel.
