FAI Vantage Club

Quint · 2008-11-18 13:37:12

So who got one? Seems like great value, especially the good seats at the half way line. http://www.faivantageclub.com/vantage-club.htm They're only €32,000 for 10 years. At 6 games a year works out at about €533 a game.

G.A.A and Rugby are also providing just as good - if not better -a product.

A Premium Section Croke Park 10 year ticket works out at about 1k a year.

Far more sporting value for money that a Lansdowne Road ticket.

If that was the case then why would they spend money sending out all the marketing materials to all the block bookers and waiting list members, prominently made up of Joe Public.

The FAI couldn't care less who buys them or how or where they get the money. They need them sold.

They send them out to anyone who they can in order to gain publicity and create knowledge. The pricing structure then restricts the actual target audience automatically, this is all very basic marketing strategy!

Whats to say that within the ranks of the block bookers and waiting list members there are not people who have the ability to buy these seats and fit into the 'small company not able to afford a full luxury box' types that I mentioned earlier.

I know loads of block bookers who have pubs, are self employed contarctors etc who would be interesetd in buying, but are put off in the current down turn.
