Georgia Tech v Florida State Dublin 2024.

Fr Tod Umptious · 15-03-2023 8:45pm #1

Week 0 game between Georgia Tech and Florida State will be August 24th in Dublin.

Can't wait.

A proper conference matchup like we had in 2022 with Northwestern v Nebraska.

None of this ND v Navy rubbish which is more a like a challenge match in the GAA than a college football game.

It was listed on ticketmaster earlier today as starting on Thursday but they have removed the text.

I would expect emails to be sent to purchasers of previous years tickets.

Oh okay it looks to me as it is sold out when I look at it on ticketmaster.

Afternoon everyone.

I’ve purchased tickets in previous years but never get the presale emails (and had signed up on the AL College Classic site previously). Have stumbled across this thread having spotted the Thu 0900 presale message on the Ticketmaster site - hopefully this is something that doesn’t require a code. But if anyone is aware of one, I’d gratefully receive one in my inbox ;) Fingers crossed something positive anyhow.

Johnny.

The coded presale is for American Football Ireland clubs/players/coaches/refs etc. No email gone out to previous purchasers yet.

Peter File · 22-12-2023 7:15pm

Tickets will go on general sale on March 14 as per email sent by them today.

Corporate event only premium tickets 750 plus vat, but includes a few beers and some rubber chicken...

Georgia Tech on TV right now (Sky) in the Gasprilla Bowl v UCF.

In case anyone is interested.

Game announced for 2027 Pitt Panthers v Wisconsin Badgers.

Does this mean no game in 2025 or 2026?

Rumours of NFL games in 25 and 26

I'd be very surprised.

I know The Steelers were in town a few months back talking about it, but there are plenty of more places that the NFL could be picking for an international game with bigger markets.

Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Rome spring to mind straight away, and that's just Europe.

csirl · 02-01-2024 10:55pm

I dont think NFL games have any impact on the scheduling of the college games. Different stadium, different market (college = US visitors, NFL = domestic/european), different time (Aug/Nov), different organisers etc etc.

There's also no.coordination between the two organisers - they're actually rivals.

NFL will schedule their games when it best suits them - even if there is a college game the same year. 25 is a little optimistiic, I think it will be 26 or 27.

On the upside, you may get to see both NFL and college played in the same years!

theoneeyedman · 02-01-2024 11:10pm

While they are not going to work together, the truth of it is we're a small market, will we really sell Croke Park plus Lansdowne for 2 games? Maybe, but it'll be a gamble.

csirl · 03-01-2024 12:46am

The domestic market isnt important for the college games - the financial model is based on bringing in 20-30k visiting US fans. They work financially even with no Irish fans.

NFL will be 100% domestic/European focused. Their aim is to expand the European fanbase, so US fans will be discouraged.

Both are viable as there isnt much overlap.

csirl · 03-01-2024 12:51am

I think the gap in the college games is more to do with management/rights ownership changes - re-evaluating the organisation, tweeking the behind the scences financial model etc.

Presale email went out this evening. Past purchasers get access to tickets on 12/03 @ 12:00. General release 14/03.

theoneeyedman · 29-02-2024 11:40pm

Any word on prices, compared to last year for instance?

I wonder would they be cheaper because it's not ND.

Two years ago the Northwestern v Nebraska tickets were very reasonable I thought, something like €60 I think I paid for upper tier, which seems a lot cheaper than the ND tickets in 2023

davetherave · 01-03-2024 9:53pm

I had 513, Upper Tier behind the endzone, for ND Navy at €80 a pop last year. In the Irish league presale for this year I got section 515 and they were still €80 a go. Can't think what the other sections on offer were, but Upper Endzone are the same price.
