    to ye oul Ireland VS. England on Sat. Worst of all, I havn't even that much interest in being there. I'd be tempted to just tell the damn thing but I hate touts with a passion and believe in Karma so not going to try and flog it for 400 odd euro

    Should I turn my back? :rolleyes:

    Give it to me. For free. If it'll ease your conscience...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Give it to someone who'll enjoy it more. Poor chappies in the Rugby forum.

    Oh should have mentioned, i've no interest in selling it for face value, or less, or more for that matter. Think i'll just go and see if a riot erupts... Could go down in history :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,190 ✭✭✭Haven't a Clue


    Right. I'll give you €50.

    Again, just as a conscience easer...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    Just go John, should be a great game even if you're not interested in rugby, and I'd say the atmosphere in Croke Park will be amazing.

    I'll let ye know how I got on ;)

    Sorry, I have to admit, the only reason I started this thread was to p1ss people off who really want tickets. Shame on me, im an evil pr1ck :D

    And you're doing good job of it:D

    If I was you, I'd go. Enjoy the day. My usual Croker ticket sources are of no help to me for the rugby matches. Ah well, I'll just have to resort to shouting at the TV - again!

    Good. At least you have a relatively **** view so. I was in something similar to that position for the 2000 All-Ireland Replay, and could see jack s.hit.

    Serves you right for teasing us like you did.

    Close to the toilets?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,209 ✭✭✭✭JohnCleary


    What a game and I loved the seat. Things are better when free :D

    Got talking to a couple sitting next to me. I won't say how much they paid a tout for the tickets but it would make baby Jesus cry. I don't know who's worse, the tout, or the couple for paying that price for the tickets


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,209 ✭✭✭✭JohnCleary


    I know the match is long over, but thought i'd share my seat with ye... Pretty sweet :D

    If you were trying to taunt us with those seats you're doing a singularly un-impressive job, I was lower tier, cusack stand on the half way line for both the France and England matches.

    Heh, you're obviously not seeing the light humoured side of things, are ye :rolleyes:

    Anyhow, this was to taunt people who had no tickets, and esp since I got them for free :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    Yep snagged me a free ticket the day before (after alot of grovelling).
