Jaysis Ezekial calm down ffs
The t's & c's of all tickets pretty much whether it be for a football match or a gig etc include a no re-admittance if you leave line. Reason being, what's to stop you going out with 5/10/20 tickets already scanned and giving them to people outside so they can chance their arm and try and get in for free basically.
At our level a bit of cop on and common sense applies once you say something to a steward etc they'll usually always have no problem with letting you back in if you say it to them but at Ireland games, gigs in the Point, Premier League games etc it's enforced way more strictly, albeit if you say it to a steward and they've a bit of common sense they may well let you out and back in, some of them are right little jobsworths though.
As was mentioned at Ireland games you can get out for a cig but that's at 2 or 3 designated exits to the "smoking areas" where you get a stamp like a nightclub and down the exit to an area that only has access to it from the stadium doors with stewards at the door checking the stamps. That's probably the only bit of cop on that has been applied by the FAI in years. You can't get out past the gate at section O/P for example at Landsdowne if you go down for a smoke during the game.
