    Me and a couple of the lads were thinking about heading over to the World Cup in 2010 , hopefully Ireland will be there , any way I applied for the tickets to follow Ireland and was just looking at the price

    This must be wrong ,

    if you take the Team specific tickets and lets you take a ticket for the 7 games you might have it works out at €133 a ticket !

    Well that's because if you have a TST you get a guaranteed ticket to the opening game and the final which cost far more for obvious reasons.
    Another reason the tickets are cheeper is so they can afford to give the South Africans tickets for $20 to encourage local support for the tournament.

    You have 2 options either go for the TST for the 7 games (Which I expect are all gone from round 1) and then if Ireland get knocked out at the group stages or last 16 sell on your other tickets and make your money back (or just go to the games) or apply for a TST 3-5 where it works out at €80 per game if you go for category 3 (again most of which are already gone in round 1)

    I got a TST 5 Category 2 ticket I dont think the price is that bad
    Its the world cup you pay €50 for an Ireland friendly I dont see a problem with paying $80 for a game at the world cup.

    If you want tickets Id apply sharpish

    I stole one in my house in college in first year (it was left in my friends apartment, didn't actually pull some one out of it n run off) if you want it, think the wheel may have come off during a 4am downhill wheelchair race though
