I see Ticketmaster are up to there old tricks again. Only tickets available are the premium tickets at 30€ a pop at the moment? I know tomorrow the 10€ tickets will be online again.

Why the hell are they only releasing block by block? It makes no sense?

Security I guess. The more blocks they leave closed the cheaper it is to staff.

I had a rant about this on twitter before and was told that ticket master do not dictate anything like block by block sales- they do whatever the event organiser asks. I just assumed it was their fault as they are a deeply evil company.

I know who I would think would be more likely to penny pinch out of Ticketmaster and the FAI

**ger121** · 04/11/2016, 1:58 PM

Has to be the FAI. I never see this when buying tickets for other games at Aviva or venues.

Doesn't make any sense to have unrestricted seating and selling block by block.

It's the FAI.

Good time Charlies out in Tallaght then.

Wait, that's a different drug again.

Does anybody know if the Cup Final will be shown on RTE International on Sunday? I'd really appreciate it if anybody could let me know.

**ToberonaTornado** · 05/11/2016, 1:23 AM

Any estimates on ticket sales yet?
Also anyone hear who's reffing the match?

Speaking of refs and off topic for a minute i hear that Alan Kelly has been named as the MLS referee of the year.

The FAI have made the final very affordable to go to!

If the final isn't getting good preview coverage in the media, that's more a failing of the media to inform the public.

**jinxy lilywhite** · 05/11/2016, 7:58 PM

Don't know if I agree with that. The fai have their contacts in the media and a TV contract with rte with little or no advertisements for it apart from the CL game on Wednesday.

Every weekend there are alway major sporting events. There has been little or build up in media with their obsession with Ireland v the all blacks in the rugger or a gaa all star awards last night and the dublin county championship today.

This game should be an easy sell but ffs the fai need to put something into it. Cork and dundalk can only do so much to mobilise their areas for the game but it's the national level that fails

You seem to have unrealistic expectations on neutrals. I'm sure all LoI supporters nationally are aware of the final.

It's not up to the media to promote it though. It's the FAI's blue riband event. They are responsible for marketing and promoting the game. What's the point in making the game affordable but then not bothering to tell anyone.
