I'm not saying anything against queuing up to get tickets to follow your team or to get corporate tickets to follow your team. I'm talking about 2/3 of tickets not going to supporters of the teams involved. I see it almost every year, some team has gone to a final in the EL or the EC or Heineken Cup etc. Now how many of those 20k or 30k supporters that travelled to Macedonia or Ukraine or Turkey etc. will get a ticket to the final they get into? Perhaps half and that is simply not acceptable in my eyes, when 2/3 of the tickets go to the "corporate scum" as I call them. Now I understand it is different for Croker, seeing as it is GAA, again, and it is kept within the isle, but Lansdowne is a different beast here. They will do soccer and rugby matches and soccer is absolutely rife with this kind of crap. 45 euro to 85 euro to see an airtricity select 11 against a Man Utd 11 warm up match.
WTF???
I should probably clarify, this has got nothing to do with the stirium having 3 or 4 sides. As long as it serves it purpose, I doubt how many sides it has is important.
