College-ND v Navy Ireland

plastic glass · 23-02-2023 11:42pm #1

Anyone know when the tickets for this are on sale? I’d love to go.

I know there are packages on sale right now for crazy prices but would love to know what the chances are of getting a “normal” ticket are?

I know last year it was grand to get a ticket but when ND play things can be a bit different I think?

BaronVon · 24-02-2023 1:01am

There was a lottery to get the option to buy tickets. Apparently the yanks are buying 40k tickets, so there'll only be a few thousand on general sale......

bop1977 · 27-03-2023 3:25pm

Also, people who went last year are getting an email this week with the opportunity to buy 2 tickets for this game. I suppose anything that is unsold after that round goes into the lottery.

(I went to last years game and I got an email a few weeks ago telling me there will be a code in my inbox starting today and the tickets go on sale with this code on Friday.)

paulie21 · 31-03-2023 7:12pm

Got the code. €100 for cheapest ticket, don't think I'll be venturing

adrian522 · 31-03-2023 7:18pm

Didn't get any code, bought 5 tickets for the last game. Who was the email from?

That's as long as you have accepted sharing 3rd party cookies or marketing while you purchased last years tickets.

villamaria · 01-04-2023 8:37am

Appreciate if anyone has a presale code they can share?

plastic glass · 01-04-2023 9:52am

Also, if anyone is not using their code would appreciate it if you could pass on to me

plhealy2000 · 03-04-2023 6:51pm

If anyone got a code for Wednesday that they don't need, would appreciate it.

Peter File · 12-04-2023 5:35pm

Did anyone get tickets for this?

They apparently sent more emails today

adrian522 · 12-04-2023 8:49pm

Nope

USNA1991 · 12-04-2023 9:49pm

Coming over from Annapolis for the game. Looking for tickets and/or presale code. Thanks

I actually did. My sister got lucky on the lottery system and used her code.

best of luck for everyone else

orwell77 · 13-04-2023 7:03pm

another one who would appreciate a code if there was one spare

death1234567 · 18-04-2023 4:03pm

Any codes going? PM me if available as I would love a chance to get a ticket.

theoneeyedman · 18-04-2023 4:17pm

Got an email today, saying an invite to a sale later in the week, Wednesday to Friday. Only tickets I can view how are are hospitality only at like like 600e per seat!

Will there be 'normal' priced tickets available to us plebs this week?

DM_2092 · 24-04-2023 1:29pm

Hey Folks,

I'm selling an individual ticket to this game. Basically I got one in the pre-sale and now my buddy is after getting us two of them in the lottery and I'd rather not be sat alone.

If there's any interest let me know. I'm sorry but I don't check Boards all that often. Hit me up on Twitter if you're interested:

Peter File · 10-05-2023 8:32am

Another batch for the lottery announced by email. Were there any reasonably priced tickets available in the last round?.

They really messed this process up this year by not rewarding loyalty or just using general sale.

adrian522 · 10-05-2023 9:42am

No, restricted view for €80 was the best I saw, didn't buy any in the end.

RayCon · 10-05-2023 11:04am

Got sent a link this morning ... logged in, was offered 2 x tickets in Lower South (Block 115) for €100 each + fees. Total was €212. Didn't pull the trigger

odyssey06 · 10-05-2023 11:17am

I was in two minds but went with BLK108 for €212.

Looks like will have a good view of one end zone but don't think will be able to see much of the other end.

Notre Dame V Navy €212 for 2 looks like a bargain now!

Went for this myself. Last years game was great and the atmosphere this year with ND playing will be electric.

Loughc · 11-05-2023 8:09pm

There’s 3 American football games on in Donnybrook stadium the day before the ND Navy game.

3 challenge matches essentially but a proper full day of football as an appetiser for the main event on Saturday.

DM_2092 · 12-05-2023 8:38am

Just stating again that I'm selling an individual ticket over on Twitter:

@DM_2092

Basically I got a pre-sale and my mate ended up getting 2. I'd rather be sat with him than on my own.

Risoc · 18-05-2023 11:36pm

Hi folks,

hanging for a ticket also if anyone has an extra.

Risoc · 23-05-2023 9:42am

7:30pm kick-off should make for a great atmosphere.

Risoc · 25-05-2023 10:41pm

Done and done re DM2092s ticket.

DM_2092 · 13-07-2023 8:12am

This ticket has now been SOLD.

Spongey1975 · 31-07-2023 9:38pm

I have 2 tickets for the game and now cant go. They are in block 316 in south stand. They cost €150 each so €312 in total (inc fees). Just want to get rid of them for face value. Anyone interested send me a private message. Thanks

Hello, just checking if these are still for sale? Looking for 2, let me know when you can. Thanks.

Spongey1975 · 06-08-2023 1:21pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120923445#Comment_120923445

Tickets are sold. Thanks

Yeah Right · 24-08-2023 2:08pm

Cheapest tickets left are €150 and tat's upper tier, 5 rows from the back.

Next cheapest are €225 and they're in the very corners. Looks like there's loads left, but can't see people paying that kinda money for them. Do they come down in price at all closer to kick off?

adrian522 · 24-08-2023 3:20pm

There's a few selling on toutless may take what they can get at this stage, I agree they were priced way too high this year, for that reason I'm going to sit this one out.

odyssey06 · 24-08-2023 3:50pm

College green is being turned into a tailgate zone for the game if ye want to soak up atmosphere. Then either go onto game or watch in a bar.

Glenbhoy · 25-08-2023 5:26am

Going into this tomorrow with my 12 year old son. What time should we aim to get in for? I know ko is 19.30, but is it worth getting there an hour early? Will there be plenty of worthwhile pre-game stuff going on?

Loughc · 25-08-2023 8:40am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121023664#Comment_121023664

Aim to be in for 7pm the bands and player’s introductions will be epic for ND.

Yeah Right · 25-08-2023 8:44am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121023664#Comment_121023664

Loads. There's a huge party in town, around the TCD area (what the dopes in DCC call the Merrion Quarter). They're renaming Dame street to Notre Dame street etc. There's also a huge stage being erected in Merrion Square park, so expect there's gonna be something big on there too. Probably the best spot to chill out before heading to Lansdowne Road, you can grab a pint in the Gingerman or McGrattans and head over there.

Half an hour before kick-off (or throw-in or whatever they call it in American football) doesn't seem like very long, no?

adrian522 · 25-08-2023 9:20am

I've never known an American football game to start on time so I think in your seats at 7 would be fine.

Just wondering if the ticket prices this year are trying to claw back their losses on the bar last year when all the food and drink was given out for free?

Went with my 13 year old last year to the Northwestern v Nebraska game.

Went in about an hour and a half before kickoff

Really enjoyed watching the warmups and everything before hand.

Now the kid is interested in the game so he was really enjoying watching the warmups and the drills, if you don't know that much about it it might become tedious.

We were coming from the south side so had no great interest in going into town and to see what was going on there and come out again so we went in early.

They got the money they lost on free beer and food through the credit card machine provider.

The tickets are more expensive this year purely based on ND demand.

markc1184 · 25-08-2023 12:30pm

Apologies if already answered but is the game being shown on any Sky channels or is it just the likes of NBC etc?

theoneeyedman · 25-08-2023 12:32pm

BT? Or whabdo they call it now, TNT?

Tgey have always covered the College games, and it's the only game on at that time.

adrian522 · 25-08-2023 12:32pm

Well its probably 3 times the price it was the last time ND played here, given the amount of tickets still available they probably over estimated the demand.

11 Years ago I got really good tickets for €77 (€92 adjusted for inflation), this year same tickets would cost €250

Sky Sports Action here, NBC in the US.

odyssey06 · 25-08-2023 12:38pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121025273#Comment_121025273

It is on channel Sky Sports Action, but not sure what packages include that.

College football will not be shown on TNT this year unfortunately.

However, as a poster above said, this particular game (and all of Notre Dame’s other home games) will be on Sky Sports Action (which will become Sky Sports NFL shortly before the season starts).

You need a Sky Sports sub for that.

Are Sky showing the CFB on a Saturday so, or just this game? Disappointed with that tbh, was a good alternative of a Saturday afternoon especially when there was nothing else to clash with it, especially the Soccer, on the British channels.

adrian522 · 25-08-2023 4:12pm

Think Sky have the rights to the ND home games that are on NBC in the US, TNT should still have access to the ESPN games. It was the same last year I think

No college football on TNT this year, @icdg said that a few posts ago and in another thread a few weeks ago.

Which is a balls because it was great Saturday evening entertainment.

Seven or so ND games a season on Sky as the only college football on TV is sending this poster closer to dodgy box territory.
