It’s premium, which means “whatever the market will bear”. So no, it’s not ridiculous if people pay it.

John’s wages have to be paid!

So? lots of people in the FAI get paid wages.
Joe cool
They don’t get paid on average of a world leader though

It’s bound to be a thriller. Don’t bring your book, these guys are on fiah!

It’s premium, which means ” i don’t want to sit with peasants” so cheap at twice the price.
The Real Jane
Surely sitting with peasants is a live risk anywhere you go to watch soccer?
Randy Ewing
soccer ! Go back to the colonies !

Au contraire – ‘soccer’ is what the garrison game would be referred to among GAA circles ;)

soccer ! Go back to bog, the game is on inside the pale !

It’s within the confines of Dublin 4, so surely you should specify that you are referring to ‘association football’, so as not to confuse the egg-chasers.

You went for Premium. Apparently the 30 quid ones in the West Upper weren’t good enough for you.
Miq
The difference between premium and the rest of the place is that the bar is open in premium section? Good grief.
Also, I should point out a ticket for Celtic and Barcelona (the latter will, make no mistake, field mostly reserves) is €80. Another totally meaningless friendly.
Ridiculous. Yet you will all happily part with that cash. Crikey!
The Real Jane
I won’t, can’t bear soccer. I went to an international match once (free tickets) and I cannot for the life of me understand how such a dull game ever caught on.

I went to see The Road in the cinema and it was really dull. . I also once ate a bland sponge cake. All film and cake is meaningless to me now.

The great thing about Celtic is their first team are all reserves :)
Rob_G
Don’t pay it then, so.
Broadsheet, can we have fewer of these public awareness-raising articles on the poor unfortunates who are too thick to understand the the concept of premium pricing?
Miq
Cheer up, mate.
Bertie Blenkinsop
Got my tickets for the Barca friendly this morning, hope they field a decent team.*
* yes, I know it’s irrelevant but it’s my best chance to shoehorn it in here :)

You might see Thomas Vermaelen. If he’s not sold by then.
Bertie Blenkinsop
I reckon he’ll be at Liverpool by then….

People actually pay to go to sports? I thought they were paid extras.
In future, please post this with under the “Look how much a Pint cost me in Temple bar !” posts.

Years ago, the arcane ins and outs of modem setup scripts served as a sort of IQ test for the internet.
Things have come on and people like Miq can drool over their phone and bash it until things like this are posted to make us all that little bit stupider.
