Serbia Ticket Info

Tickets are now on sale for those who qualify for stage 1.

Corky mentioned that around 3,000 responded to the FAW survey indicating that they plan to travel for this game. For those who are concerned about tickets being purchased by some who do not travel, it looks like the FAW plan to implement some checks to prevent this from happening. There is a meeting today which will hopefully clarify what these checks will be.

Just noticed a meeting is taking place while the tickets are on sale. After the horse as bolted or what!

Think the meeting was always scheduled, this just became a topic on the agenda.

If 3000 said they are going and we sell out and take our full allocation and they all turn up then there isn't going to be an issue. If only 400 hundred turn up then its something to discuss. People just love a kerfuffle over something that hasn't even happened yet.

Not at all as I believe the plan is to implement the checks for this game & this can be done before the tickets have been posted/collected.

The FAW has a difficult job in pleasing everyone here as I know that some who have followed Wales away for many years are against additional red tape which will come with such checks, with the argument being that most people who are in stage 1 are there for a reason i.e. they actually go to games & have shown great loyalty over the years. By way of comparison last time we played in Serbia I think we took about 650 supporters & I would not mind betting that the majority of those are in stage 1 & will be in Belgrade in June. As I said further up the thread, personally I am not against checks as long as they are not too onerous.

I always get a form from the FAW to complete before away tickets are provided when travelling to watch Wales away, that requires details about method of travel, hotel etc. Isn't that how they check to see if people actually go (quite how they check, I don't know though)?

Or is it just me that gets the form? LOL

The form has been used for years & has to be completed for everyone who wants a ticket for a particular away game. I may be wrong but my understanding is that the form is mainly for the benefit of the police so that they see who is travelling, when they are leaving/returning & where they are staying. That said there is no easy way to check that what people say on their form is correct so this would not be a fool proof way of checking that people actually go. This is a new issue as before the last campaign there would be little point in anyone buying tickets if they were not going to the game & I hope that a common sense approach can be found which will keep the majority of people happy
