Its not a given that clubs must price things relatively similar but there could be plenty of people that would balk at paying €10-15 more at one club compared to another and I dont think the reasoning of 'it is a better facility to watch games in Tallaght' would be just accepted. Whether we have some sort of acceptance of poor facilities or that LoI fans are pretty low maintenance I dont know, but I enjoy match night at most grounds United Park being one but dont know if Id be that happy if there was a significant increase in costs. With Oriel, for example, what you may gain at the turnstiles you could lose in bar takings.
We'd have to be more imaginative in how ticket price increases would be presented and justified.
