The price you see on Ticketmaster these days is inclusive of fees. €32 to sit on half way in Lansdowne is great value. €16 for kids. Pats charge away fans €24 into Inchicore.

Well just to explain in more detail as I'm guessing the point being made across all socials today is being missed by you - others have mentioned boycotting the game. Rovers fans saying in hindsight they should have last year based on the prices and other factors.Originally Posted by ForeForeToo
LOI games should be played on a home and away basis not in a neutral venue.
A family ticket of €62 (including fees) for 2 adults and 2 children seems very reasonable to me.
The opening fixture being in the Aviva last year was a massive success and attracted a huge amount of neutrals to the game, and I don't think we're at a stage where we can say "the league has grown enough, I'm not bothered about it growing any further"
Some may not want to line Bohs pockets and that's fair enough, however I suspect this will sell out and be quite a success.
Huge crowd in the Aviva helps build credibility for the league. It’s a trade off I can live with
I think bringing the game to the masses is a great idea. Sunday afternoon, 62 euro for a family ticket, opportunity for supporter ofopportunity to attract neutrals who don't follow the league or a team, opportunity to gain new support for both teams. It's all very positive stuff.
You go ahead and boycott the game, I'm sure someone will buy that seat. Hind sight is a great thing and the main reason some Rover fans should have boycotted the game was the fact they paid a higher price to see Rovers lose. Can you elaborate on "other factors" A great stadium, good weather, great atmosphere and a reasonably good game all played close to Rovers original base in Ringsend. What more could they have wanted?
The boycott talk started long before the game was even played TBF.
Tbh I don't really get the opposition to it but I seem to be in the minority of Rovers fans. Means anyone can go who wants to, which isn't true for dalymount obviously. I'm a member and it's hard to get a ticket. You can get a beer. Make it a day out.
But there were a lot of Rovers people who found issues with it and didn't go. Lining bohs pockets was an obvious reason but we got a decent cut out of it. Wasn't able to go myself but most people I know say they wouldn't do it again.
Away to our localist rivals first. Happy with that
Bloody Rovers fans and their "demands" eh! 😄
Only issue I had was the view from the crappy north stand we were in.
Thankfully I got the opportunity to go again in November,sat in a nicer section and watched Rovers lift yet another trophy.
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
If Bohs are the "home team" obviously they get to call which fans go where and maximize the number of Bohs supporters. Re Dalymount, I still can't understand how Bohs can't get 1000 people at the shopping center end for away support for Rovers, Pats and Shells and let 450 Bohs supporters into the Mono. If it's Galway etc then give them the Mono and let 1000 Bohs supporters go behind the goal.
Re Rovers lifting the cup, they thoroughly deserved it.
