Story About Malmo Tickets

**jofyisgod** · 19/06/2004, 7:38 PM

The guy on 103fm was telling a story about some fella who rang him up giving out about the �20 price for a ticket for the match. He said that they would prefer to listen on the radio than pay the cash.

That's so ridiculous. Tehy'd happily pay out �15 to watch a Hypership game on Sky, but not �20 to watch a live UEFA European game. Says a lot about the glory-fans that are milling around the place.

dont need cheap shots like that

but also dont need fickle fans either

Not a bad crowd, there has been more at league games this season. Shed was great, cant wait to see the photos of the 451 flags being waved.

Sit down for the cork city!

For those who stayed away tonight unfortunately for you, you were the looser.

You missed out on a piece of Cork sporting history.

Enough said.

Well f*ck them if they missed not only the best result ever, but probably the best performance also. I dragged along a bar stooler friend of mine who concentrated on how **** Malmo were rather than how good City were. F*cking hell man, it always looks better on SKY

I know it should not be the case but the cliub didn't misjudge the tickey price. In hindsight €15 would have been better idea.

Still people pay €35 for any GAA Championship game in Croke Park, at least €15 to stand on terrace (can be raining) in Musgrave Park for Celtic League games so maybe we did better cos had the core support?

famous last words, job not done yet, don't want to rain on your parade but there is still the second game and whats the point in doing what yee lot did on sat and not finishing the job in the second leg..........

put simple, the RESULT is over two legs.....not one

the club made a mstake here i think......�15 probably would have meant a full house , and they still would heve made more money. i think there will be a bigger crowd for the Bohs match on Tuesday night

an own goal by the club i think..........

Doubling the price of tickets for any game is really a bit much.

And to put up the price of kids tickets from 4 to 10??!!!

3500 people is woeful.

If they left the price at 10 or even 12 euro they probably have filled most seats and taken in a lot more money than they did and just imagine what the atmosphere would have been like if it was a full house.

City know thats its over two legs but it's still a brillant achievement to beat a high profile team like Malmo at home 3-1 IMO. As for the crowd that were there, I agree with Crow was their loss. Some people pay alot more than 16/20 euro to go to other matches (which are probably less entertaining

)and nothing is said. The match on Saturday was well worth the money and better that alot of matches shown on Sky Sports

you are missing the point though.......most City fans would pay twice that again probably. But from a commercial point of view that was a bad decision. you are not going to attract a 'part-time' fan charging that

commercially it was a great decision. �18 x 5000 = �90k
�12 x 6500 = �78k
�10 x 7000 = �70k
