Just an update, we have today finally, finally got tickets to the Luton Match, Santa brought ticket ‘vouchers’ in the end to be used for the Luton game when tickets went on sale 😉. We finally got our hands on the tickets today!!! Ferry is booked, hotel is booked and my young lad thinks all his birthdays have come at once.
After I called the club before Christmas, they have since sent him a signed poster of the team and a dvd at Christmas wishing him a happy Christmas. And thy have promised him a shout out at half time .. this club is amazing!!
Thank you all so much for the advise and help with this, it’s a dream come through for him! thanks again x |

:) I was using the wrong dial code.. bit of a blond moment. I got through finally to them and she advised next match was Wigan and tickets will go on sale on the 8th.. no guarantees either. So I’m going to buy the tickets on the 8th but leave ferries etc until after Christmas. She also said tours don’t take place on match days but they would do a half time shout out to him, which would be amazing!! I’ll try and book tour for the day before the match if I can.
Happy enough once I have tickets for him to have Christmas morning, I’ve ordered a load of stuff from the Swansea store also, scarfs, flags and stuff and a big gift bag to put it all in spot will hopefully look great, being 10 he won’t understand(or care) about the logistics of it really, once he has tickets he will be trolled I hope, I’ll hopefully be able to work out the finer details.
He started supporting Swansea as my husband was watching a Swansea match a few years back they were losing and they were both shouting for them to come on, and they did and won! He would have only been about six or so. I have no idea who they were playing but he thought it was great. We thought it would be a short lived thing but my husband started getting him the match scores every week and players names and that and it went from there.
Thanks again for all the help. Our match outing in Swansea is turning into a full blown holiday with way it’s going 😂 |

Thanks a million for all the replies, tried the ticket office today but no answer, didn’t get a chance to call them again but will try again tomorrow.
We are from laois, about 50 miles from Athlone. Laois is slap bang in the middle of ireland. As country as it gets over here 😂
Ferry is definitely the easiest option for us with the kids, but good point about the weather has me thinking now about that.. disaster of sailing was cancelled. Hopefully get through o then tomorrow to confirm a match date so can price travel then. |

Ha I may be Irish but even I know a derby match mightn't be the best option for our first outing 😂 |

Good advice re traveling, Irish ferries fluctuate a lot, i priced it for the charlton game and came in at 245€ (about 230£) return which is a great price. Plus we’d have our own car. But the charlton game is just a little too close to Christmas for us. Outside of that timeframe the ferry was around 450€ .. it will depend on what tickets I can get, if I got the ferry for around the 245 return it would be class, plus means we can bring all the crap that the 7 year old can’t travel without, basically toys - essentials in his head. Really depends on date of travel, our own car would be great if we can get a good price, will price flights as well though. |

😃 Hes a great young lad, takes it all on the chin, I love seeing him at his own soccer training, always spot the Swansea kit in the sea of red .. although after relegation last year he didn’t want to go to school and cried for days. That’s the only time it got to him. I was full sure he’d change teams then, but he picked himself up, and told me when your a swan till you die Mam that means your a swan till you die.. that’s what it means, you can’t just change, told me he’s not a fair weather supporter. Proud out of him.
I’ve ordered stuff on the Swansea Shop and gotten loads on eBay.. if you’ve ever sold your kids old gear on eBay.. chances are it’s me who bought it 😂
Thanks a million for the above info, I’ll call the ticket office tomorrow. Really appreciate |

Thanks for that, ferry seems easiest bet, rosslare to fishguard. Drive them to hotel close enough to the stadium. Two adults and two kids (10 &7). Staying for two night, arriving the day before a match so we are not wrecked tired on the big day. If we get accommodation right enough could make it three nights.. again depends on how close to Christmas the match is. Flying would be cheaper, but the cost of bringing the car balances out after we factor in traveling after landing I think.
Thanks again |

Hi, I wonder if anyone could help. We are from Ireland and our son is huge Swansea fan..we are looking to bring him to a match in the new year but as it will involves ferries/planes, hotels etc I’m looking for some tips.
Firstly we are hoping for a home game in January, preferable after the Charlton match as that’s just too close to Christmas on the pocket. I’ve had a look at tickets and can’t see anything up yet after that match? Any guaranteed fixture for liberty stadium in late January?
I’ve also seen jack pack tickets .. and idea of these are cheaper or worth it? I think they are part of the fan club? I looked to join before but they don’t post out of the uk so there was no point paying and not receiving anything ..any decent hotels close to the stadium..
Apologies for all the questions, he’s a massive fan and living in the midlands of Ireland gets a lot of stick for it from the local lads who are of course either Man U or Liverpool. He stands his ground and says he’s a jack till he dies so I want to make this special for him, he’s just turned ten and Santa will be bringing this as I’m guessing it’s his last year for Santa (if he dosent know already) :) It’s a struggle it get anything Swansea related over here at all, so we are going all out and hopefully making it a trip to remember. One last thing can liberty tour dates be used on any day or have to be ore booked?
If you’ve read this far, thanks a million any info at all appreciated for a little Irish Swans fan! |
