Ireland announce ticket deals for 2008

Ahead of the start of the new international cricket season, which gets underway later this month, Cricket Ireland has revealed its new ticketing pricing structure for 2008.

A major revamp has taken place over the close season, and a number of major pricing changes have taken place. There will be a buy-one-get-one-free offer in place for the Friends Provident Trophy, and accompanied juniors will get free entry to all Ireland's home fixtures in 2008. There will also be a major discount for Senior Citizens at all games.

Prices for the Friends Provident Trophy games are £10/ €13.50 for adults. Juniors will get free entry, (if accompanied by an adult), otherwise the charge will be £3/€4. Senior Citizens will be charged €8 or £6 . In addition, all tickets will be sold on a buy-one-get-one-free basis. With four games in the FP Trophy, this will allow anybody buying a ticket to combine the two Dublin matches or the two Belfast matches under this offer.

Cricket Ireland have also secured a deal with Ticketmaster, which will see tickets being available from their agents nationwide, and by phone on 0818-719300.

Ireland will also be hosting the European Championships in Dublin this summer (July 25-31), and the ICC Twenty20 World Cup Qualifiers in Belfast (August 2-4). In addition there will be three ODIs against Kenya in August.
