A sold-out pre-season friendly football match between Manchester United and Leeds United at Croke Park in Dublin has drawn criticism from a public representative (TD) over ticket resales. While original ticket prices for the event started at €50, seats are being heavily marked up on online secondary platforms.
Depending on the specific platform and location within the venue, resale prices are reaching significantly higher levels. A spot on the Hill 16 terrace has been listed for €225, while other online listings have seen ticket prices driven up to between €475 and over €400, despite legislative bans on ticket touting.
