Sources tell me the FAI ripped off the Man u fans last night 80 quid a ticket fir a pre season friendly and then made a complete bollox of selling the tickets and left loads unsold because they forgot to put the “buffer zone” tickets up for sale
Could be wrong but pretty sure the FAI don’t organise these games. They are organised third party sports management companies who pay the FAI a fee for use of the stadium. That is prettyc much the done thing for all of these pre season friendlies and a lot of international friendlies these days.
You aren’t wrong. These companies generally agree exclusive deals for games with the FAI, which was what scuppered to Limerick v Barca friendly a few years ago.
