It says on the ticketmaster event page that there was to be another sale beginning this morning until wednesday. Another consummate display of service from ticketbastards.

If you check this thread from Tuesday, people got tickets off the ticketmaster website so fair enough if we expected the same today...

Didn't realise that many tickets were pre sold to the American market, i thought it was 25000. No wonder they flew out the door on Tuesday, there must have been only 15000 - 20000 available in the general sale.

So disappointing. And i reckon the touts will have a field day so i won't even bother with them.

Still haven't seen one comment from anyone in the US about numbers travelling.

Just loads of articles saying "it is reported" "it is estimated" etc etc

I'm not saying the numbers are wrong, but can anyone see any facts to back these 'reported' figurse up?

I don't know much about touts or how they get all their tickets but with such a big block going to the States and a significant amount of out tickets going to presales, I wonder will they have gotten their hands on as many tickets as they normally would?

Not to mention that the ticketmaster general sales were limited to two per sale

Might sound stupid, but why was there so many tickets released to American market. Think its great that theres a following coming over and who am i too begrudge loyal nd/navy fans following their team BUT

surely this game is being staged to promote the game in Ireland/UK and it seems that alot of people who would have wanted to go to the game have been prevented to because the majority of the stadium has went to american market/corporates. Why stage the game here if locals can get the opportunity to go. will it even be broadcast on Irish tv?

the game was staged to bring tourists into country primarily I'd imagine!

[polaris68]

TBH, I think the staging of this game in Dublin was to organise a junket for wealthy alumni, boosters, boards of trustees etc. Plus the carrot of possible foreign trips for the players probably helps with recruiting as well.

[brick tamland]

I still think there will be a lot more tickets on sale here befor the game
