The FAI has confirmed that Ireland's home leg for the World Cup playoff game against Denmark on November 14th is officially sold out.
The Association issued a statement on Friday afternoon saying that tickets which went on sale on Friday morning were sold in under five minutes.
The Football Association of Ireland can confirm that the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying Play-Off Second Leg between Republic of Ireland and Denmark on Tuesday, November 14 in Aviva Stadium is officially sold out.
Premium tickets that were reserved for the public sale on Friday, October 20 sold out in less than five minutes. Should more tickets become available through Denmark not taking up their full allocation, they will go on public sale.
It was also said that anyone purchasing a ticket through unofficial sources is taking a risk.
The FAI would like to create awareness and advise any person who purchases a ticket from unofficial sources at a price above the face value will accept the risk of no entry to the stadium, as there is a mechanism in place to investigate tickets on sale through these outlets and deactivate the ticket.
The process of cancelling tickets, which were purchased unofficially, for the second leg game has already commenced and tickets have been traced to their original source.
The first leg of the playoff takes place in Copenhagen on Saturday, November 11th.
