    Hey - I know that anyone that has a ticket for the game on Saturday can get a refund if they return it to the club they got it from or ticket sales company or whatever by 12pm Monday (20 Feb)...but my question is that I bought my ticket for €85 from the IRFU (my club) yet on the ticket it says the ticket cost €32. I have asked around and €85 was the face value for tickets in Ireland. Although if they say €32 on them does that mean that the face value for them in France was €32 and hence we will recieve a refund of €32??

    If anyone know anything about this it would be much appreciated!

    Thanks!

    I guess face value means what it says on the ticket. €32 sounds very cheap though

    Why would you be charged €85 if the ticket was only worth €32 and you got it through a club ?

    Exactly this. Take it up with your club sec imo

    I know the clubs often see the international tickets as a way of raising funds, but a 165% mark-up seems excessive.

    Forget your club secretary, take it up with Joe Duffy!

    No, take it up with your club secretary.

    This is not a tax, this is your club. I'm sure that the club will refund you the excess aswell

    Yeah I mean I've asked around and everyone who got them. either through club or ticketmaster or whatever paid €85. I mean all the home tickets would say the €85 on them. So not sure if we're just getting ripped off here or not...I'm sending them off today so I'll let ye know what happens!

    Cheers for the comments

    Dob the secretary in and report your dissatisfaction at paying scalper prices to the relevant provincial branch, as this is where clubs get their ticket allocations from.
