Why 7pm?

Very early - no lights etc. Pity.

**adamcarr** · 29/05/2004, 2:27 PM

**paddigol** · 29/05/2004, 2:50 PM

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...

12-14 fair enough, but it would be a big mistake to charge 16.

E-mail the club to find out!

Remember Bayern Munich at home something like 20.00 pounds at the time and only 4000 showed up. (mind you it was worth the money)

all the league games in dublin are 15 euros, reckon its only a matter of time before city increase their prices in line with that.

It is increased to E13 next season!

Lads that is one thing about the cork supporters we are always giving out about the price of a ticket of a match but at the end of the day you and I will still go to the match no matter what the cost of it is. So just go and by the ticket.

just get a season ticket

**A face** · 30/05/2004, 3:05 PM

Actually lads .... €16 is not that bad .... there aren't many other events that you would get for the same price. Name something else ... concerts, gigs, other sporting events, the fun fair, the circus ........ actually ... ithink you'll all be hard pressed to find another event for the same value not to mind better.

We have had it too easy up to now !!

**Gary** · 30/05/2004, 4:44 PM

€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.

**A face** · 30/05/2004, 4:57 PM

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.

**Gary** · 30/05/2004, 6:37 PM

Out of interest Xtreme, how good were those tickets. They were presumably terrace, yes???

€13 is very good, when u consider TTFKAHF are charging €15 to see them 'play'.

**A face** · 30/05/2004, 6:39 PM

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.

**Gary** · 30/05/2004, 6:44 PM

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.
