    Clubs shouldn't be looking to European tie tickets as a cash cow IMO. Especially against fairly unattractive teams like Riga. It's bad form, and carries a large risk of poor publicity and diminished income.

    The majority of the tickets are €20.Match looks like it will be a sell-out.

    Most Dundalk fans appear to understand and accept the extra 5euro on the ground tickets, in much the same way as the reduced price tickets for previous domestic cup games. The local fans come to watch Dundalk as opposed to being attracted by the opposition

    Hope the Pat's fans that took such umbrage with Dundalk gouging us fans for a UCL game don't fall off their high horse:

    €30 for a friendly? Some might even call that extortionate... but that's none of my business

    Gouge away for a friendly against an English underage side in fairness. Different group of fans entirely.

    Thankfully we aren’t badges kissers in these parts when our club is gouging we will call them out on it , which in this situation they are. It’s wrong to sting any loyal set of supporters who watch the regular fare for a day out.

    Meh, it's a friendly against a really big side. It's steep, but can see the logic in taking the money and running from the premiership heads.

    Totally agreed, I would be of the opinion that every LoI club should make hay while the sun shines, financially, in whatever way they can, teams do these friendlies all the time. However the pontificating on here and social media of how much of a "disgrace" it was that Dundalk are actively trying to increase revenue on what will almost certainly be a sellout due to reduced capacity is what makes this particular money-spinner hilarious.

    I disagree, this is the LoI, maximize revenue where ever you can, it'll not be long before any club is back in the poor house again and when things are going good pray that some money is spent on infrastructure that will be there for the real fans when the money is gone and the bandwagon is little more than a horse and trap. It has happened to us before and it'll happen again, I'd bet my life on it, I just hope at the end of it all we have at least 1 half-decent new stand, it may be cynical view but I feel it's steeped in realism.

    Absolutely no issue with milking barstoolers tbh. If they charge €30 for the Europa League game I'll be annoyed.
    Here on a technicality.

    So people here were posting on an LOI message board before I was born? Mad.
    Also, isn’t it funny that charging €30 for a Champions League but charging €30 for a friendly is fine and dandy?

    The Chelsea first team squad will be training in Ireland and will play friendlies against Bohs and Pats. There are obviously very many Chelsea fans in Ireland who will be delighted to have the opportunity to see these players in action locally. Pats and Bohs are happy to facilitate Chelsea in giving those fans that opportunity and the ticket pricing reflects what those fans would expect to pay. Bohs and Pats fans can see their own team in competitive action, including in the Europa League in the case of Pats, for half the price. And, given that all money made by Bohs and Pats goes into improving the clubs on and off the pitch, I’d have thought their own fans would be happy that they’ll be getting this influx of money from Chelsea fans.

    I do wonder how many first-team players Chelsea will field. I remember seeing Dundalk play a pre-season game against Chelsea in 2012. Only 4 of Chelsea’s starting eleven that day have made a first-team appearance, with only two of those (Nathan Aké and Ruben Loftus-Cheek) having made more than one.

    Well, you say that you're totally agreed, and then disagree with me!

    I don't care how much Dundalk want to charge for their Euro game, but it's still not comparable to a friendly against a big English side. It's a different set of fans you're hitting. Dundalk are hitting their own loyal support; Pat's are hitting barstoolers.

    If you don't mind paying thirty quid to see FC Riga, that's fine. But the comparison with Pat's v Chelsea doesn't stack up I think.
