The sell-out comes after Ireland’s World Cup qualifier heroics against Portugal and Hungary.
Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side secured their play-off spot against the odds with stunning wins over Portugal (2-0) and Hungary (3-2). Troy Parrott proved the hero, scoring all five goals, including a 96th minute winner in Hungary which sent Ireland through.
The Boys In Green now face Czechia away in March’s playoff semi-final, before a potential home showdown against Denmark or North Macedonia.
The 42 understands there was a surge in demand for 2026 season tickets immediately after the dramatic win in Budapest.
