Season tickets - value for money?
Credit:
Frankie Lally rules the roost over season ticket prices for the 2010 season. Which club has the best value for money? Who charges an arm and a leg? Do you think your club represents good value considering the product on show every second Friday night?
Bohemians: League champions Bohemians have the joint highest ticket prices in the League. A ticket at Dalymount for the entire season will set you back €250 for an adult, €170 if you're a student and €100 for OAP/U16.
ExtraTime’s value for money rating: Perhaps it is a bit steep, but to watch the champions play week-in-week-out, we think it’s fair enough. 3.5/5
Bray Wanderers: The Seagulls have the cheapest season tickets in the league. Adults are priced at an incredibly reasonable €99 while OAP/U16 cost €49.
ExtraTime’s value for money rating: Bray Wanders aren’t going to be challenging for a league title this season but €99 to see live football every week is outstanding value. 5/5.
Drogheda United: The Drogs have both stand and terrace tickets available. Adult stand ticket costs €200 while an Adult terrace ticket is priced at €160. Concession tickets are priced at €120 for the stand and €90 for the terrace.
ExtraTime’s value for money rating: Adult season ticket holders will be entitled to bring 2 children of 14 years or under free into all home league matches so overall it appears to be good value. 4/5
Dundalk:Dundalk are top of the table when it comes to season ticket prices. The Lillywhites charge a hefty price of €250 for an adult allocated stand ticket. However they do offer a ground ticket for a more reasonable €180. Concession tickets for the stand and ground are €180 and €140 respectively.
ExtraTime’s value for money rating: At €250 stand tickets seem to be somewhat overpriced at Oriel Park. 2/5
Galway United:To see Sean Connor’s team in action this season it will set you back €150 for an adult, €90 for a concession and €40 if you are under 12 years of age. If you a currently a social welfare recipient you can avail of a special price of €100.
ExtraTime’s value for money rating: Galway have incredibly good value with their season tickets. It’s also good to see a club catering for the high number of unemployed people in the country at the moment. 4/5.
St Patrick’s Athletic: The saints are right in the middle when it comes to the price of season tickets. If you’re an adult €200 will give you the freedom of Inchicore while if you’re an OAP or a student it will cost you €130.
ExtraTime’s value for money rating: With an average season ticket in the Airtricity League working out at €200 Pat’s prices are in line with everyone else’s. 3.5/5
Shamrock Rovers: The Hoops have a variety of season ticket options available. Prices range from €300 for an adults reserved Main Stand to €220 for an unreserved Main Stand ticket. Although €300 seems pricy, you will be watching one of the top sides. OAPs and 14-18 years are priced at €110 while if you’re a 3rd level student it costs €130.
ExtraTime’s value for money rating: Rovers have a good range of reasonably priced season tickets available and to watch a team that should be challenging for trophies we feel this is value. 3.5/5.
Sligo Rovers: The Bit O’Red are slightly above average when it comes to the price of a season ticket. To see last season’s FAI Ford Cup finalists in action for this season it costs €230 if you’re an adult and €150 for concession, OAPs and students.
ExtraTime’s value for money rating: Sligo will be certainly look to be competing for a trophy this season but their prices are quite high. 3/5.
Sporting Fingal: To watch the Premier Divison’s new boys this season at Morton Stadium it will set you back €200 for an adult, €170 for concession and €80 if you’re still just a nipper.
Extratime’s value for money rating: Fingal have a lot of quality in their squad so we feel it’s a fair price. 3.5/5
