‘I’d love to head over but just can’t afford it,’ says one Dublin fan who speaks of friends saving money by flying out of London and then taking the bus
Detailing the cost of a three-night trip to Paris for Ireland’s final group game against Scotland, Mr Maughan said a match ticket was close to €200, with accommodation working out at roughly €500 per person sharing for the three days.Remarking on the inflated accommodation prices, he said: “The hosting of the majority of games in Paris seems poorly thought out.
“I think that the Irish airlines like Ryanair and Aer Lingus should have made a bigger effort to make more flights available and at affordable prices. They knew years in advance that a World Cup was coming. They are making it extremely hard for real, everyday rugby fans to get to the tournament.” Speaking to this difficulty of navigating the pricing of airfares, Eoin Feighan, a Leinster fan from Rathfarnham in south Dublin, said the “scandalous prices” were taking away from what is meant to be the biggest spectacle in world rugby.Gerry Thornley: Ireland likely to name strong selection for Rugby World Cup opener against Romania“I’d love to head over but just can’t afford it. The prices are scandalous really.
