Apparently tickets will only be sold in the packages.

I’m not sure what the Irish ticket scalping market is like though.

I’ve got to believe the university is going to release a few thousand tickets for their season-ticket holders, but I guess this game could be the exception. Obviously Illinois is going to be well compensated as they are the team giving up a home game.

This game has my interest. Really have no desire to travel outside of the United States since there's so much in this country I haven't seen. Another couple and my wife and I were thinking about going to NW next year. But might have to skip that and save up for Ireland.

Cart way before horse, but don't forget to get a passport if you don't have one. You'd be amazed how many folks overlook this on international travel until it's too late.

Bendog please get out of your basement and see the world. And get rid of your snarky attitude. It will do wonders for you.

As for the game, the website notes that tickets are CURRENTLY available only in packages. That means single tickets will be available later. A quick google search shows stadium capacity at 51,700. I can't imagine Illinois sends more than 10,000 people and that number may be way high. I can see NU sending 15,000-20,000 fans but that still leaves a lot of seats left. Another quick search shows multiple tours of Ireland for under $2,000. So shop wisely.

That's my thinking as well. BEST seats are only available through the "package only" option. Hopefully something else shakes out later. Can't be too many bad seats if stadium only holds 51000. Guess better than having a 3/4 red stadium in champagne

Side bet:

Losers play the Irish rugby at team at noon the following day.

Winners submit to a "foreign exchange" with the lassies down at the pub..

I'm wondering if there will be a "Keep the Red Out" campaign? So in order to get NU-Illinois tickets, you also have to pony up for three Gaelic football matches and a hurling tournament.

Thanks. Dang didn't want to have to spend 8 days there. The cheapest one isn't really that bad of a deal. You're looking at probably another $1000 for flight.

Might be off my radar.

They have different packages. 8 nights, 6 nights, & 3 nights.

Look at the top tabs under 3 city tour, 2 city tour, or Dublin only. You can get just the Dublin tour for under 2 grand.

Thanks. I'm going to be completely happy to stay home now unfortunately.

I'm in and going to test the scalper market. Going to take the wife back to France and Italy beforehand.
