    Fuck sake?? €9.99. I have time booked off for that weekend to play JP's game. Might just book a flight in case I can get a ticket. Wouldn't care about losing €20 if I couldn't.

      ...did someone in this thread or the previous thread, post about purchasing tickets on ticketmaster, only for money to go back into the account...if yeah, did the tickets still work...
      ...I purchased tickets last week, money came out of my account but now it's saying it didn't come out of it...

        £750m for a 10 year kit deal with Adidas is madness.

            Add that to the Chevrolet deal and it's 130/140 million per season for a 7th place team who's only European excursions will be to the valleys.

              I understand sticking Casio or Chevrolet on a big teams jersey can lead to increased sales, hence its worthwhile paying MUFC £XMillion a year.

              But can never get my head around the jersey manufacturers paying such outlandish sums. Whats the revenue streams? Is it that they get a percentage of each MUFC item of clothing sold or is it in the hope that people will suddenly switch to Adidas for runners & tracksuits etc?

                They get all the money from kit sales as I understand it.

                The fee is effectively an upfront advance on kit sales for the next 10 years. Adidas are betting that it will generate sales of more than £75m a year.

                  Is it not buying the license to create replica jerseys and the sales associated are Adidas' and Adidas's alone.

                    Ah, that makes more sense - I had thought the club were still getting the vast amount of the revenue from the sale of the item, and the manufacturer was paying a fortune for the privilege of organising all this for the club. Which would be utter madness obviously.

                      Nike’s original deal was worth €380 million, with extra income from a profit share agreement from merchandise sold worldwide.
                      From the Irish Times article.

                        Iago is correct, they get all the money and if it exceeds the 75m per year then United get more

                        Also Iago did I read from you that you can sort tickets for any game

                          United are playing Sunderland away on the weekend of the IPO Newcastle.

                          How does one go about getting tickets for the away end?

                              What problem did the GAA have that streaming the qualifiers into two groups A and B set out to solve?

                                They were aiming for a definitive calendar for the qualifiers - e.g., "if Derry lose in the Ulster Quarter Final then their qualifiers will be June26, July14 and July 28nd". "If Dublin lose in the quarter final their qualifiers will July7th etc etc.". Thus allowing teams/fans to plan ahead.
                                Previously they waited until all the 16/8 contenders were known in each round and then did the draw, and worked out suitable weekends.

                                By dividing into A (effectively the side of the provincial draws which takes places first) and B they can also ensure that there are 2 weeks between all games (unless drawn games occur) so no more complaints of 6 day turnarounds.

                                Though probably both aims could been achieved without this split.

                                                        For the price most people will sell for be aswell to get the weekend one and go to all three days. Or sell your armband after Saturday. Or 4 mates go splits on two weekend armbands and do the trick with two in, one out with both armbands, two in etc.

                                                            Have just been catching up with the news for the last three weeks. It appears that literally nothing interesting happened in Ireland.

                                                            I should take my eye off the ball more often.
