I've seen 500 level tickets going for 200 to 400 euro. That buys a hell of a lot of the black stuff! If I cannot find anything under 100 euro, I'm going to plant myself in a pub and watch it there. Any suggestions for pubs that show American football or that have free wi-fi so I could watch it online?

Just been let down for for four tickets by a lad in college. He's now selling them online instead.

Absolutely gutted. I hope he gets nothing for them. Can't believe ill miss this game.

What are the chances of tickets going on sale again? If all else fails ill try get even one for myself! Anyone on here selling?

It is pure greed motivating the wanna-be touts. Money for nothing. I agree with your sentiment and I hope all of them are stuck with tickets they cannot use. However, greed isn't limited to the little guy. At least tickets hit the general public in Ireland. Over on this side of the Atlantic, tickets were only available through vacation packages. $2000 USD and up for 3 to 5 days in Ireland which included transfers, hotel, game ticket and a private party (big deal). You still had to book airfare on top of the fee.

I'm traveling to Ireland from Canada on Aug 30 with the hope of catching the ND-Navy gane on the 1st and the GAA football semi on the 2nd. The semi is no problem; got a seat on the end of a row through ticketmaster.ie for 40 euro. The ND game is a harder nut to crack to get to the craic!

I was wondering if anyone might have a single ticket for sale. Also, I noticed that some of you are looking for game merchandise but the shipping costs to Ireland are prohibitive. I would be willing to bring jerseys over at cost for anyone that can help me secure a ticket.

Thanks,
I'd check your Gaa ticket TBH.

No tickets for the All Ireland Semi final have gone on sale yet.

No one knows who's in it yet.

You're right!

WTF! That is so bizzare.

Why would you sell tickets for a match that no one knows who's playing!

I was going to post the same thing you did but decided that I'd better check first and I was amazed to see them there too. As you said we've no idea who's going to be playing so maybe they're trying to cash in on the tourist market. I'm sure you might get plenty of Americans who are over the ND v Navy game who would be interested in seeing our game.

I don't care who is playing as I have no loyalty to any team. I'm just looking for the craic.

I have tickets up in the nosebleeds as it is and I had a look on a certain ticket selling site and found a pair of tickets for seats that are in the same section but 10 rows behind mine that are being offered at £350 each. I suppose there are some very rich ND alumni.

Tickets for the Friday night Pep Rally at the O2 were sold (perhaps given away) through the university and Anthony Travel from what I have been able to conclude. I have seen some really overpriced, and I mean REALLY overpriced, tout tickets for this event.

While I bleed Gold and Blue when it comes to football, this event holds nothing for me. I will be seeking the perfect pint and the craic that goes along with it on Friday night.
