Italia 90 was Ireland's first, and consequently my first, World Cup. In those days you could rock up in the town (Last 16) book accommodation and get a ticket on arrival. The Irish FA commandeered a caravan over to oversee ticket sales on a baking hot afternoon in Genoa, with Coca Cola...
This was interesting as the site went live 20 minutes prior to the sale and gave a countdown. It also said if you open multiple windows or devices you may be flung out of the queue. Went in at waiting position 524 and was in the sale room within a couple of minutes. Chose my seats, front row...
