Ireland Ticket Information

But when you say cut corporate. It's a cover all term. How exactly do you and others when you say cut corporate do that?

The 3rd floor/middle tier doesn't host any meals and many with tickets for 3rd floor have access to the exact same menus as those in upper and lower tier(1st/5th floors) bar a few extra food options on level 3. A small percentage of people sitting on level 3 may have a pre match meal on level 2 or 4 in some of the main function areas on those floors but overwhelming majority on level 3 dont.

Yeah I think he means level 4 which is where that happens.

Yeah my wife's workplace were offering tickets to its employees to Taylor Swift for that level for €1600 a ticket and it was an open bar, meal etc. Again an instance of a "sold out event" but not sold out to corporates.

No it was a ticket in the south west stand. Bog standard ticket.

I'm not really too interested in getting into the definition of a fan as it's a pointless argument where everyone gets super sensitive and offended but essentially someone who wants to go watch the game versus someone who is going for a day out, drinks and a chat and has no real interest in the game. (And before anyone hops in with their backs up, I'm not saying that drink should be banned, nobody should be allowed talk etc.)

Your experience with corporates may be different to mine and it's not accurate for anyone to say all corporates are the problem, and it's not accurate to say they're not a problem at all. But it is delusional to think that someone who has come for drinks and a chat who's largely in the concourse for the game is contributing as much to the atmosphere as someone who is watching the game, singing, chanting and cheering. It's just not a legitimate argument. A parent and kid would do more for the game in those seats. Corporates might not solely be ruining the atmosphere but they're certainly contributing. Again, it's not every corporate ticket. I've been to loads of national grounds and the Aviva is by a long shot, the worst both in terms of noise and experience.

The argument around funding only goes so far and I admitted that it's complex to solve and not a quick fix as clubs need funding to survive (and they should get that funding) but it's fundamentally wrong that a team is largely inaccessible to the public. As I said, it won't change as the people who matter are getting their money.

I don't know how anyone can think that it's OK that "ABC Corporate Tickets" make the most money off international rugby tickets because they charge and are paid staggering multiples of a tickets face value. These guys are not sponsors.

Silly question but did you e-mail them first or was the above just a mailshot?

Prices just too high for me but decent value in the packages but as expected don't include the All Blacks game (I'm guessing the tickets in the packages are been used by the IRFU for corporates etc for that game ?)

No They're not included as the irdu don't need to include them in packages. The new Zealand game is high demand so that game sells itself. Some of the others are far harder sells so are tied into package deals

No, it's closed until next month.

They haven't done one for years

Didn't work but got in via ticketmaster.ie, In a waiting room

Mail was sent round 1 yesterday afternoon

You have to copy and paste the link into your browser, the hyperlink is bust.

If anyone has a spare link I'd really appreciate it!

If noone has a spare code (that doesn't want their nzl slot for some reason) I'd appreciate it.
I'll push my luck on Friday otherwise!

I did get tickets for the other games which I'm pretty pleased with

Unfortunately, we are unable to reserve your tickets just now
Must only work for the max of 2 per match or is that the same code for everyone?

Different code for every user. Eight ticket overall limit and two per NZ and Oz games.

Happy to share my code if happy to share the €50 cost to get one 😂

That's probably fair actually 🤔

The only thing I'm confused about is why they didn't tie the Fiji game to the NZ game tickets as a package. It seems they have missed a trick there as the Aus game packages make less sense given that so many Aus tickets were available on their own. They've done that in previous years with NZ tickets as I remember having to purchase other games to be able to get a NZ ticket but not this time.
