Why 7pm?
Very early - no lights etc. Pity.
will the shed be open for it?? when are tickets on sale>?
The shed is allowed open until the 3rd rnd!
So what's the story with tickets for the away leg?
I'm off to adopt a country in portugal, so I'm going to miss the home leg, but I'll be keeping track of progress on the web.
Looking forward to a good **** up in Malmo.
Not if the rumours I heard are true... of charging 16 euro...Quote:

E-mail the club to find out!Quote:

We have had it too easy up to now !!
€16, if thats the charge will stop alot of casual fans from going, ie Dads with their kids on 7pm Saturday evening - Family Time.
Its not the fact is €16, its the jump from €10, its almost twice the price of an average game. They will lose alot of support because of it i reckon.
The costs for this game will increase .... It is a European game .... where will the money come from if the price is not increased .... Cant see the FAI helping out a Cork club. It wont come from anywhere else .... You have to be realistic aswell.
Again .... can anyone think of another event on this scale that is cheaper/same price ...... Anyone here with kids ? What do you think ??
I hardly call the Inter Toto first round first leg a large scale event now A Face. Lets be honest like, a big prcie increase will scare ppl off. Maybe not you or me or other using thjis forum, but the casual fan will baulk at it.Quote:

€13 is very good, when u consider TTFKAHF are charging €15 to see them 'play'.
Well Drogs reckoned that they needed to charge €20 a game to cover costs .... so it would make you wonder what the costs are ..... all i am saying .... the casual fan .... the father and son ...... they pay high costs for every other event they go to so why should they not expect to pay the same at the cross. Costs go up and normally reflect the financial constraints that the clubs are under.
Big difference between Drogs income and Citys income though. We average about 4000 people per game, paying on average €8, while they average about 1300 (at the very best) at €15ish.
Yes the overheads will be high, but is it really necessary to almost double the price? By all means go for €13-€14. I know its only a €2 differece, but at that price its alot.
The club need to make money. Lennox isn't Bill gates. There should be a full house with a lot of casual support, so yeah, let the club make some extra cash.
KO at 7 probably for Swedish tv??
the match wont be on swedish tv.
as for the return leg there wont be much swedish interest no matter what the result is in cork. the day before the return leg is mid-summer - a celebration which the swedes take seriously. It basically means that everyone leaves the city and heads out to the country for the weekend.
I don't think €16 for a seat is at a European game is outrageous. Its €10 for league games which is by far the lowest in the league. Waterford is €12.Quote:

I dont mind paying the extra bit for the euro game....they should have increased it to 15 a be done with that...i dont liek the 20 euro on the day thing...its not going to encourage anyone...
Looks like we'll be spending that day in Copenhagen then!!! :DQuote:

UEFA's Inter-toto rules, the games have to be played on either a Saturday or Sunday. Those are it's appointed days.Quote:

yeah I'd hope that'd be the case alright, but I've heard nothing about ticket arrangements for Malmo, so I'm assuming at the moment that it'll be buy at the turnstiles.Quote:

no point in talking about the matchday increase here
difference of 4 yoyos is a disgrace
let ur opinion be known

I'd say crowd congestion is the least of their worries. Brian just wants the cash in his paw ASAP.Quote:

Whatever about the €16 price, increasing it to €20 on the day is unfair.
People coming from out of town for the game should contact the club and book/them have them posted at the lower price.
Hopefully Malmo fans (especially the tall, blonde female ones) will get them through Malmo at the lower price.
mind if i ask how you do solve the problem of crowd congestion?Quote:

Just wondering have the club taken into consideration that the Holland Vs Czech Rep game will be on the telly at the time of the game?
The fact that a good game like that is on the TV, added to the fact that they are charging a very high price, does not bode well for the attendance at the game.
As Ive said beofre, a price of €16 to the casual fan is alot, and the attraction of Euro 2004 football will make their mind up for them, rightly or wrongly.

No doubt you will be looking for a student price X???
:p
I'd be very very shocked and surprised if that would keep people away from the game. City fans will go to the game anyway and barstoolers won't have any interest in either Holland or Czech Rep so it won't stop them going to the game. If we were playing at the same time as England v France I'd be worried but Holland v Czech won't have any effect on us. Anyway, there will be Euro 2004 games on TV non-stop and people will be sick of it and will be delighted with the oppurtunity to get out and watch some real life football. If anything the heightened interest in football which Euros/World Cups bring about will work to our advantage.Quote:

I love the way people are saying that its only barstoolers who will wait til the day of the game to get a ticket.
There is many a City fan, who may or may not sit on barstools, who for whatever reason will not be able to buy a ticket in advance. They may be working elsewhere and not get an oppurtunity to get to the Cross in advance, perhaps they may be broke as pay day may only come mid month etc etc etc.
Anyway, thats the way it is, so no point in arguing.
Or indeed we may be living elsewhere!
