To be fair, they had been a fiver since around what 2004 or 2005? Price of everything has gone up substantially the last few months. Couple that with fewer people buying programmes in the digital era and the higher cost to produce/sell fewer numbers. I stopped buying them at matches when they went to a fiver. You can pick them up in lots for a few cents a piece if you're patient.

| Not just programmes that went up, literally everything inside the stadium has gone up, food & drink was already a rip off in the Aviva, but silly prices being charged now |

Those plastic bottles of carslberg €7 . €7.60 for a pint. The smallest looking hotdogs and burgers around 9 quid now. Wouldn't fancy being a family going to a match, you'd spend a small fortune now. €3.10 for a bottle of water.

No joy finding anything online. If anyone has a spare programme from last night would happily buy and cover postage etc.

Pricey I thought at €7.50 a pop, but decent enough quality tbf. Not sure €7.50 is a good price point tbh, I'd have bought 2 for me and the little one if they were a fiver each. ------------- Idah Dream! |

| Charging €7 for a friendly last night just screams to me that they'll be €10 on Monday... |

https://www.aca-creative.co.uk/product/republic-of-ireland-v-latvia/ Found where the programme is sold online, but the publishers are UK based and don't seem to post to Ireland. You couldn't write it

Christ those prices Let's hope the €7 for the programme stays the same. I do like collecting them and for that reason I'd buy them I'll be keeping the 'collectable cup' for that price for the pint

The number of pages/content has also decreased steadly over theast couple of years. It's mostly adds now. We were spoilt in the 90s with a big glossy A4 sized programmes we used to produce ------------- "Sometimes, sh*t happens, someone's gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?" |

| Clubs have started moving away from programmes over the last few years. Demand has dropped as people have all the content they need in their phone. I hope they stay around, even if prices go up to cover it- they are the one tangible thing you can take away from a match |

2 pounds back in the day I remember, the content in them was excellent as well. If were playing Latvia, we'd have about 4 pages of in depth profiles of their entire squad, then later on an random article about some Irish lad who was playing in Riga in the 1930s, plus match- specific notes from Jack and Des Casey or whoever. Covers were also iconic I remember. |

| I think these sold out last night. Given the price I wonder do they print alot less? |

Late to this thread. Never mind the rip off price. It’s not a match programme if it doesn’t have team line-ups pages. And the Ireland vs. France did not. Yes I know you could get all that info on your phone, but historically that was the whole point of a match programme. Also, how desperate are the FAI that they couldn’t find an advertiser for the back cover, having instead the new emblem?
