SCOTLAND have been officially allocated a paltry allocation of just 3,184 for the crunch Euro 2016 showdown with Ireland in June.
And that's already led to hundreds of Scotland fans paying extra for hospitality tickets in the Aviva Stadium just to get into the game.
The FAI have decided to restrict Scotland to the minimum allocation just a few months after their chief John Delaney promised he would hand the Tartan Army a 'fair' allocation.
Scotland's clash at the Aviva Stadium in the summer is gearing up to be a vital encounter as Gordon Strachan's side attempt to qualify for their first major Finals since 1998.
And the allocation has now been confirmed by the Scotland Supporters Club after meetings between the two FA's.
They Tweeted their members: "Sale coming soon - 3184 allocated - we will keep you posted on details."
The November showdown between the teams was marred by a huge row between the FAI and the SFA because Ireland were restricted to a fraction of the 8,000 tickets they demanded, leading to Irish fans snapping up tickets in the Scotland end at Parkhead.
Ireland's chief executive Delaney branded the SFA a joke and launched a savage attack on them.
He moaned: "The SFA has acted unprofessionally. They only gave us five per cent of the allocation, telling us the game was sold out when it's not. We will be more professional than the SFA when dealing their requests for the Dublin fixture.
"I don't think there is any point in us reducing their allocation and having more Scots in the Irish section. We'll give them what is fair and deal with it in a neighbourly fashion and not in a manner in how they have dealt with us."
However, he appears to have gone back on his word. The Scotland fans who do manage to get their hands on an away end ticket won't find them cheap either. Poland fans will have to pay a cheapest price of £37 for this month's qualifier and the most expensive ticket will sell for £88.
