FAI reduce ticket prices for South Africa clash

TICKET prices for Ireland’s upcoming friendly with South Africa at Thomond Park next month have been slashed in a bid to sell out the famous Limerick stadium.

Ireland’s friendly clash with Australia last week – which the Socceroos won 3-0 – attracted a crowd of 19,400 to Thomond Park, short of the ground’s 26,500 capacity.

The cost of tickets for the match was cited as a barrier to many fans travelling to the game, with tickets priced as high as €50 for some stand seats seen as excessive.
