Wood adds to criticism of rugby ticket prices

THE Irish Rugby Football Union is facing an unprecedented barrage of criticism over ticket prices for the coming rugby season, including complaints from past and present international players.

Former Ireland captain Keith Wood yesterday became the latest to hit out at the decision to force supporters to pay €340 for a standard package to see the four autumn tests.

The price rises to €425 for a premium seat ticket for all four matches, while a schoolchild’s package costs €135.
