They're even going for below face value outside (I've personally never used touts we got genuine face value spares last night as we always try to do). Been in every stand many times in Lansdowne but never West Upper until last night so was very fitting I thought for the night that was in it.
Anyway point is the usual shutout we encounter for the glamour ties (when the winter p1ss-fests are long gone and the Sat avo sunshine boys come along) will no doubt come around again but hopefully we'll be BBs by then (ranging from under 2k to just over 5k for last guy on the list) and believe me we'll be f8cking delighted to be so especially if get seats together. You only appreciate the gauranteed tickets if you've been on the other side of the fence. If the prevailing attitude shreds dead weight then those replacing them will prob be more deserving anyway. Although the Croker novelty might counteract that all the same.
