Pricing for the presale tickets through NU is at $340 / $250 (starting from ~35 yard line) / $175 (starting near end zone)...

Are people planning on paying these prices to buy through NU? Feels like general sales should be more reasonable than that. I expected bowl game pricing, but this is taking it to another level, like 2x that.

I would have been tempted, because I love Ireland, if a) I still lived in Balt and b) we didn't suck. But a) I'm now a 13 hour flight away and b) you know.

Sadly I don't think I'm going to make it, but I really feel badly for the Neb fans who are planning to drive there.

Are these open to the general public or just season ticket holders? Do we know the NU sections?? Thx.

I got my tickets in November through a friend in Europe. We paid $100 each. I am fairly certain that if you pass on these highly marked-up NU tickets you will have a chance to buy them at a more reasonable price.

We have the seats on the west side of the stadium, 121-128, 324-329. That's what's being sold through NU right now based on what I saw yesterday. Don't believe they are offering any tickets in the 500 level, which honestly might be pretty decent seats from what I could tell, the 100 level seems too low to the field to see well.

Thanks @CappyNU I'm thinking the 300 level might be the way to go.

I just bought two 50 yardline seats in 526. I have attended many rugby games at the Aviva and I prefer the upper deck sightlines. My season tickets at NU are in row 60 near the back of the lower deck-ideal sightline. The very low Aviva seats would be comparable to NU -difficult to see the distant near sideline . Hotels in Dublin have already been marked up but may come down if tour packages don't sell out. I would have preferred central Dublin but chose a suburb near Portmarnock GC with convenient train service. The NU seats are on the side nearest the train station for convenient exit. If this will be your only trip to Dublin, stay in central Dublin for convenience, even if it is expensive

Here are attractions in Dublin that should not be missed:
1.Temple Bar District-pub after pub with music all day/night
2.The Epic Museum-traces Irish immigration through the centuries in an interactive media presentation. The horror of the "Great Famine" in Ireland but the benefits that other countries gained from the exodus is outlined
3.The Guinness Storehouse
4.Grafton Street -shopping with street performers , including Allie Sherlock (a teen singer that has made over a million Euros on Youtube-she puts on a good show and is very humble)
5.Golfers-play a classic links somewhere-I will give suggestions depending on your itinerary

Ugh, I want to go so bad, but with the first baby coming in May... it's just not very likely.

I would add:
- Kilmainham Gaol. It's an old prison that has been featured in a few movies.
- The Military Museum
- The Book of Kells / Trinity College Library (one of the most amazing spaces on earth)
- The General Post Office on O'Connell Street (1916 Easter Rising)

Actually, the hop-on/hop-off bus is not a bad way to go. Normally I never recommend tourist things like that but it hits all of the major sites. That said, if you can handle 5-6 miles of walking, most of Dublin's attractions are in a very compact area.

I personally don't encourage the Guiness tour. There's nothing wrong with doing it if you're interested but I've heard it's a Disney-like experience. Currently it's €22.00 for a tour with a 'free pint'. For that money, I prefer to go to a proper pub and enjoy four pints.

I will say that the pints I had in the Gravity Bar on top of the Guinness plant were the best ones I ever had.

Hoping I'm not judged for this opinion ... but the Jameson distillery experience was very fun.

I am not going, but here to put in a plug for Northern Ireland. Depending on how long you are staying, I suppose. Having grown up in a time when the "troubles' were so vivid, I really enjoyed our visit there. Ireland is great fun, but N. Ireland is a bit more 'off the beaten path'.

Have fun with the right-hand drive, manual transmission cars. And the winding, 1.9 lane roads

The Republic of Ireland had their own infrastructure bill several years ago. They spend billions and the rural roads were enlarged from 1 lane to 1.5 lanes

The modern manual transmissions are actually very easy to use in Ireland but a GPS is mandatory

To visit Belfast, take the train from Dublin
