not only can you get a student tickets for the cup games but the prices are gone up for adults:
from citynet:

IMO city should increase prices for leage games too for next season as almost all other clubs charging 10 euro already & the facilities at the cross are as good as anywhere now.

Besides Lennox seems to actually make good use of the revenue.

I'd agree, pete.
All games out the cross should be �10. If City are at present only getting �4.75 per person through the gate (B. Lennox's figure), a small increase is in order.

�4.75 is an average per person i presume?

�10 for adults is fair enough I'd say, the big issue here is that the concession is under 14, with no student tickets.....

�10 is pretty much standard for covered stands these days, with �8 for uncovered.....

YA, how hard is it to have a student price? Pats was only �6 for the stand on Monday for me.

**Hecko** · 19/09/2002, 10:18 AM

At Pats on Monday there were lads in suits getting in for 6 quid. One of teh problems with student tickets is that people take the p***. As well, its taking teh stewrads long enough to let the crowd in at the X already, how long would it be if they were checking IDs??

Yeah it is Pete. he mentioned that thats the average they work on at the moment- it was in the echo the other day.
AFAIK, city have a student price of a fiver for league games, but something was mentioned to me about no student prices for FAI cup games

Yep, he said that is the figure they work from.
btw, he also said �1200 for the MFA and the half time draw nearly covers the ref/ass ref costs.

No wonder the MFA wouldn't sell the cross if they takeing in at least half that 1200.

They do alright, I only paid �5 into the Cork - UCD game. I don't think I paid full price into the cup games in Belfield and Dalymount though.
