It may sound like a dodgy disco in the Midlands but admission to the FAI's new 'Vantage Club' will require a lot more than 10 quid and a smile.
The association yesterday officially released prices for its premium seats and corporate boxes at the new Lansdowne Road stadium, promising to "bring corporate hospitality in Ireland to a new level".
It has certainly brought it to a new price high.
The cheapest seats available, located behind the goals in the south stand, will set fans back €12,000 for the 10-year duration. The most-expensive seats, on the halfway line, will cost €32,000. Prices for the 33 corporate boxes are available on demand. Those affected by the credit crunch, presumably, need not apply.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Looks like all the bbers are getting them.
Hope they sell very very well. Means stadium will be paid for an dhopefully prices kept down for the rest of us. I'm sure they'll serve decent prawn sandwiches in the Vantage Club.
I am sure I read somewhere that the prices are going to be keep as they are until 2012 , so that means my seat will still be 50 Euro in 4 years time
After a 67% increase on the move the Croke Park, the prices would want to stay the same for at least that long.Originally Posted by Claret Murph

Yer I forgot about that Schumi , as I was paying 33 Euro at Lanesdowne
I can't see these selling well, not with the way the economy is at the moment. If you were to pick a bad week to launch this i think the FAI may have come up trumps.
Yeah what were they thinking!!!!! They should have known.
In Trap we trust
They never think!! They are a shower of plonkers!
Got my letter and threw it in the bin.

Not sure you got the irony of my post. I think the FAI should have known that it was going to be one of the worst weeks for the banking sector in living memory.

The staggered payments may actually be very successful.
If buying onbehalf of a corporation most only look at this years outlay, and will then right it off over a few years, with the annual payments someone elses problem in the future.
While not convinced it's a bit like Trap's CV, the marketing people reckon they can do it and did it for Wembley.
It would be interesrting to see thier fee deal.
If they are on a very low fee with very high bonuses for bringing in say €50m + then maybe it will work.
Would't put any money on them selling but that's not my expertise!

Just read the letter over the weekend. One piece of good news for block bookers is that they guaranteed in writing that our block bookings will continue in the new Lansdowne at the November 2006 levels.
Will be interesting to see how they work out where in the ground each BB'er gets to sit.
Together with all our hearts.
Mistakes in the brochure were poor too. Our first International in Lansdowne Road was v Italy but in 1927 and not in 1971 as stated. An all ireland side under the control of the IFA also played England there in 1900.
It listed the 3 greatest games there as Holland 2001 (no argument), Spain 82 and Brazil 87. Beating Brazil at the time didn't mean that much hence the poor attendance compared to a total sellout v Belgium 3 weeks earlier. I'd have included the wins over France in 1977 and 1981 and the win over spain in 1989.
lower hogan and cusack = lower east and west
etc etc
so as an upper hogan sitter, i'd hope to get upper west....
although of course that depends on the fai doing things sensibly...
Probably in the same general area as you were in Lansdowne previously,

Doesn't it looks like the FAI's premium seat sale ambitions have a sense of bad timing?
Would the IRFU have already received the cash in hand for their early but safe sale?
What would the worst scenario be? Galvenised roof instead of that nice perspex?
FAI back to rent and play?
You'd wonder how well this is likely to go looking at the half empty premium level last night.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
and empty Corporate Boxes counted 7 at least.
