It's pretty crazy money. I wouldn't dream of spending it because I've access to tickets, don't mind doing a bit of research on cheap flights and hotel, and overall couldn't afford it. But if there's lads who can afford it, can't get tickets or who are too lazy or not comfortable booking their own trip then I won't make them feel like an idiot or tell them they've been ripped off.

End of the day its terrible value for us but for others it could be great value. The only thing that really gets me is this business of flying home straight after the game, everyone likes to settle down and have a few pints rather than being turfed onto a bus, then on to a plane and arriving in Dublin wondering what day it even is

I would have considered booking if they were flying home on the Tuesday sometime after the Italy game but the fact that you are pretty much going to be rushed away after the match, only get to be in one city really and wont be in the match city the night before any game.   Poorly organised if you ask me and the price?!!?
 
You really are paying for guaranteed tickets.  I would like to think those of us that are season tickets holders etc will get sorted for tickets without too much bother.

On the phone so can't quote but it doesn't say tickets are included in the price. As I said earlier, why are they allowed free advertising here?

Not sure if 1699 for two games is much to advertise about.  Doubt the other travel agents will come up with any different.  Probably all will fly you out the night of the Italy match as well - like seriously.

It says plus guaranteed match tickets. I'd take it that means tickets are included in the price.

Tickets are extra! Also the 10% percent season ticket discount dosent count. Apparently it applies to qualifiers only. First I heard of it. They really are having a laugh.
