    If a deal is too good to be true, it's not real.

    No way would i buy this. Something seems dodgy about it.

    You could just go over and back on the same night with Marathon Sports Travel for €99, including match ticket.

    The op's link could be legit, most likely isn't though.

    Interestingly enough someone on adverts is selling a ticket for the exact same package:

    http://www.adverts.ie/sports/man-utd-vs-sunderland-match-ticket-one-night-stay-at-hotel/4552410

    Wonder where he bought the package originally. I posted a comment on his advert there. See whether he replies.

    That email address was booking PS4s in Argos before and over Christmas all over the country and selling the reservation codes on Done Deal.

    I know, cause I bought one.

    Stay well away.

    Those looking for actual match tickets and stay deals, it may be worth while to check with your local bus companies as a lot of them are affiliated with the local clubs and do buses over and back as a package deal. And as far as I know a lot of them will be more than happy to reduce the price if booking for a large group.

    For example Whartons Travel in Longford regularly send buses over to the Man United matches which cover a 2 night hotel, ferry, transfers and match tickets (for example to the Man Utd v Sunderland game for €259). Of course their hotel would have to be suitable as would sitting on a bus for that period of time there on back, oh and the seats.

    I'm not too sure how good that example is in terms of price but just saying, it's a different way about looking for a match ticket/stay/travel deal.
