Peyton Manning · 21-09-2010 9:46pm

Awesome news. What are we looking at for ticket prices/release dates?

Oat23 · 21-09-2010 10:01pm

When I saw the title I said to myself ''ugh, another thread telling us they are playing here in 2012''. But now I'm happy

.

Can't wait for it.

tallaghtoutlaws · 21-09-2010 10:13pm

Better decision for them to pick Aviva over Croker. Going to be an awesome game.

Pherekydes · 21-09-2010 10:28pm

You'll all have other things on your minds in 2012.

The FAI and IRFU wont have anything to do with ticket prices for this one.

Except they own the stadium and set the rent. It's unlikely to be cheap

If they go with the prices of either of the 2, They will most likely be the same as the FAI prices which some say are high but having been in many stadiums in the US and Europe they are about average.

Lower tier is €75 but the Upper Tier is €45. This is about the same as Most US stadiums. So if people consider that expensive they are paying the same as the average in the US. Have BC Eagles tickets for this weekend in Alumni and paid €65 for them.

does price matter ?????

raddo · 22-09-2010 8:56am

Can't wait!! Will be great to see American Football being played here!

As for the price, its 101 weeks away, so starting this week put a euro away each week and you should get a super seat!!!:P

Not to most here, but this game ins't about the 50 or so regular users here.

It'll need a fair bit of pushing to sell out.

Don't forget the fair few hundred IAFL folk, the UK football fans, European football fans and then the many thousand Alumni knocking about Europe and those who will travel. I can them selling the game in the Aviva regardless of ticket cost to be honest.

Dodge · 22-09-2010 2:20pm

Obviously i was kidding about the 50 or so in here but sometimes we get so caught up in it (Saturday all day NCAA, Sunday all day NFL, MNF, fantast teams, etc etc) that people don't realise that we're still a minority sport here.

The NFL is having trouble selling out wembley this year and thats a bigger brand.

I hope the navy game sells out (and I'll be there) but I don't think anyone should be complacent and not help to push this to a sell out

Definitely know all about that. Try coaching a team here. Tis hard work convincing players to join. But I have noticed the interest is growing at an extremely fast rate and to be honest I know more converts to the sport now than I did even 2 to 3 years ago.

The NFL is having trouble selling out wembley this year and thats a bigger brand.

Agree, But Wembley hold 86,000 when they play American Football there and 86,000 is always going to be harder to fill than 50,000 of the Aviva. One of the reasons the NCAA, Navy and ND went with Aviva Id say.

I hope the navy game sells out (and I'll be there) but I don't think anyone should be complacent and not help to push this to a sell out

I agree 100%. What will help it here like it does in the UK is the fact there is a large community of American Football Teams, Coaches, Players and fans that will help push it. And as the NCAA and the two colleges would have had to gone through the national body in Ireland i.e Irish American Football Association I am sure they are all going to work together to get this game sold out.

Found these images from the last time they played here.

me-skywalker · 22-09-2010 6:00pm

Cant wait for this already! Stadium is beautiful and comfortable, prices for food and stuff liek that was exspensive when I was there for the last couple of Ireland matches so expect that to be the same.

iMax · 22-09-2010 9:37pm

Subscribing to thread so I can get updates.

cooker3 · 22-09-2010 9:51pm

I must be the only who one on this forum who doesn't give a damn about college football.
Ticket prices do matter to me in this respect. If they are high ,which I fully expect them to be, I likely would not go.

fermoyboy · 23-09-2010 1:25pm

Who will be in control of selling tickets for this? General sale through ticketmaster or will Notre Dame have control?

It's a Navy home game soif any of the colleges had control it would be Navy

jack presley · 26-09-2010 10:09pm

There will be a hell of a lot of supporters coming over from the States so tickets mightn't be as plentiful as you'd expect!

Plus you'll get all the townies with their 'Fighting Irish' tattoos thinking it'll be 'f*&Kin rapid' to come along.

Not at 50 quid a pop they wont

Arthur Daley · 27-09-2010 1:04am

stood on the hill at croke park in November 96 when these two played there.

Tickets were for nothing, like £6 if I recall, and got a small, but decent enough crowd. With the economy headed back to 1996 levels, they can't justify charging more than 20-30 euro for tickets to this.

Dodge · 27-09-2010 4:23pm

They can justify anything in their own little world. I'm not presuming anything but I'd be amazed if tickets aren't at least €50

elvis jones · 27-09-2010 5:35pm

Even as a Gators fan i'm looking forward to this.

Linked is an article about Notre Dame found in this week's New York-based Irish Voice newspaper. Niall O'Dowd is the Irish-born founder and editor of the newspaper:
