Absolutely, we sold out 26k for a Qatar friendly, there's a lot of people who don't do friendlies so it'd have been closer to 35k-40k even if it was a Qatar qualifier.

People are going because Ireland are playing good football and scoring goals again, not for Ronaldo

It's reported to be worth €1.2 million now that it's a sellout

The benefit of the capacity going from 25k to 50k was €1.2 million, so 2.4 million is a reasonable guess. Average of €48 a ticket.

I'd agree totally. People are way overestimating the idea that thousands of Man U fans will turn up just to see Ronaldo. The reason this match is a sell out is because there is genuine optimism in the country now again around the football team. People are also mad keen to get along to matches after months of no live sport.

I would think there is also a large percentage it’s the first big thing in the country since things opened up and people are just delighted to have something todo and a Thursday night people will take the Friday off and make a night of it.

?? there hasn't been a season ticket since 2019-20.. covid didn't exist the last time they were on sale.. 
That is exactly my point. A lot trying to be smart saying that they had a season ticket but didn’t renew it since Covid yet they managed to catch themselves out.

It's amazing how so many people have been to "all the matches" considering we didn't have more than 26k at any game so far this year.

came across this on the Facebook Ireland supporters group, are Portugal fans not allowed travel or something ?. Seems to be a public sale and you can select 'Irish or Portugal' supporter 
Irish based Portugal supporter i'd imagine. Lost in translation i'd say. Either way. Fill your boots.

Eu citizens can travel freely I would say, might be more the cost of a night or 2 in Dublin 
So if you have a Portuguese address you can apply for away end tickets. Irish Bars in the Algarve can apply too.. this is getting better.Wink

Laughable that the new law on touting hasn’t been applied to this event! But sure it was a nice photo op during the summer for the boys!

Seen someone mention we can get tickets in the away end from the Portuguese FA. Do you reckon we would get in that way or would they cop it?
