    Purchasing Matchday Tickets

    A number of people have expressed disappointment to me recently that advance ticket sales are only available from Mcmahons butchers and a shop in Bruff. I see Waterford are now selling their tickets through tickets.ie. This is quite a good system and is used by the GAA. Tickets are available in dozens of super value and centra outlets throughout the city and county. I presume there is a percentage cost incurred obviously but if Waterford feel it's viable for their attendances I'm sure Limerick would too.

    The current ticket outlets are terrible. I know last season many of us used POS galtee fuels in singland. It was far more accessible. Not sure why the club are making pre match ticket sales so awkward.

    A small thing in regards to tickets but one which I find irritating. The club advertises a number of deals on the website regards General Admission Prices. 1 adult & 1 under 12 sees a €3 discount etc etc. However I have never been offered this though the booths outside or indeed in the butchers. I seem to remember something about having to buy 'specials' like this in advance. This was flagged on social media before season started but I haven't seen reference since and there doesn't seem to be anywhere to buy them online either. http://www.limerickfc.ie/club-shop/match-prices

    I've a similar complaint. For tonights match I bought tickets for the corporate box for myself and three kids and was charged €50 (the only configuration in their pricing I can see matching that is 2x adults+2xkids) when I thought I'd be charged €41. I didn't have time to argue the toss as the game had kicked off and I'd yet to meet up with one of the kids who was being dropped off by a parent.

    Only thing I can think of there is coporate is €20 + €10 for each child. Probably dearer because it's the coporate ones.

    That's how I reckoned it as well. But it doesn't tally with price listings on the site which specify €7 for U12 in the corporate box (I'd two 11 yos and a 4 year old with me which I thought should've been €21 + me/€20 = €41)

    I would have thought it would be the 1 adult + 2 U12 deal at €30, plus another €7 for the third child.

    I'd definitely query it anyway. E-mail the club.

    I think I will yeah. I just found the actual tickets in my coat pocket and it specifies €10 on each of the three kids tickets. They need to tighten something up there anyway or make it clear these prices aren't available at the gate.

    ...and in this day and age surely it wouldn't kill them to get a paypal business account or something similar to the Waterford system.

    How do you receive your ticket? Or do you just bring the email confirmation with you.

    There doesn't seem to be any. They are there for the Dundalk and Bray games though. Is the stand sold out I wonder?

    Maybe a certain amount are available online and they are sold out? Would need to still allocate some to the shop in bruff and the butchers.
