THE FAI HAVE today announced details and pricing of a new ticketing scheme.
Club Ireland are selling premium level tickets from €2,000 over three years, from €3,000 over five years and from €5,000 over 10 years.
There are also family offers (two adults and two children) up for grabs from from €6,000 over three years and from from €9,000 over five years.
Club Ireland members will be right at the heart of the action, seated in the best seats at the Aviva Stadium with access to pre- and post-game receptions with past players in attendance, and have potential access to away matches.
Membership also includes free entry to Ireland WNT international clashes, all FAI Cup finals at the Aviva and Ireland underage internationals.
Annual meetings with Ireland managers Mick McCarthy and Colin Bell will also be offered, and the opportunity for VIP football experiences like match-day dressing room tours and the opportunity to go to team training sessions.
“Priced at €5,000 for a ten-year ticket and with five home international games guaranteed each year, the FAI believe they represent the most keenly priced Premium Level season ticket in Irish sport,” a statement released today reads.
“By purchasing the new Club Ireland ticket, Irish football fans are also supporting the FAI’s commitment to invest in the future of Irish football at all levels, from grassroots, Football for All, coaching development and all senior and underage international teams.”
“We are delighted to relaunch Club Ireland as we embark on a very exciting time for Irish football,” FAI CEO John Delaney said.
“The Club Ireland membership packages, created after extensive consultation with our fans, have been designed to put our fans at the heart of the action when Irish teams play.”
“These are the best value premium level season tickets in Irish sport. Our fan base, envied around the world, have been a key factor in our success over the years. Their support for the teams on the pitch is well known but membership of Club Ireland also represents an investment in the future of Irish football as the FAI work to grow and develop the game right around the country.
John Delaney admitted the FAI made mistakes over the 10-year Vantage Club tickets (priced at 12k to 32k!), and that the new tickets offer the best value corporate tickets in Irish sport. pic.twitter.com/s3iDk8APLo
